The most obvious thought is that it would be very easy to end up spending

more money on that type of bargain than on current brand X computers.

Bill Jawarsky of ICOM suggests that the drive doesn't support line
|
|
34-marked "unused" in my disk controller. The only thing I can guess which
|
|
uses it is perhaps the door-open line (supported optionly in DRIVPARM
|
|
and DRIVER.SYS. I found a copy of EZ Dos 4.0 with DR Dos 3.31. The
|
|
disk change problem doesn't occur there. I am reviewing it. It has
|
|
a couple of interesting enhancements. It doesn't support code paging,
|
|
but, despite poor documentation not mentioning it, appears to support
|
|
COM 3 and 4. Plus, if get nostalgic for CP/M, you have ERA and a DIR/w
|
|
display which looks like the CP/M DIR display.
|
|
As an added bonus, you get SID86-a cross between DEBUG and ZSID.
|
|
I'll report after testing it further.

The message below was meant for you on CFOG II, but I found out that I
|
|
don't have aceess to the entering of messages. Oh well, hopefully this will
|
|
be fixed and you can read this message here, thanks.
|
|
Andy; did you ever use RTX.COM for the PX-8? It uses 14 pages of TPA. You
|
|
call it up by CTRL-ESC. It has DIR of RAMDISK, Battery level, printer setup,
|
|
RS-232 changes, small DDT program and a remove itself patch. I always keep it
|
|
in my PX-8 with the multi-pack. I also use PXUTIL.COM that is a NEWSWEEP type
|
|
of program (7K I think) but much better and I hardly ever use STAT or PIP
|
|
again. It even reads the proper Kilobytes on the "H" drive.
|
|
I haven't found WS to be bad compared to VDE. VDE is nice, but WS is in
|
|
ROM. And WS works just fine for text. Tight on space on the RAMDRIVE?
|
|
Erase old file before saving. This will not work on WS V3.3. It says
|
|
can not delete the working file. Perhaps I didn't fully test it. File
|
|
size on the 3.3 might make a difference.
|
|
The best BASIC games I have found with graphics on the Geneva was
|
|
SPSHUT.BAS (Space Shuttle flight game) and YAHTZE.BAS (Yahtzee game on
|
|
the Geneva up to 6 players).
|
|
I too would like to have a 64K ROM programmed for me. If you find
|
|
someone you like and it's cheap, let me know. I do use DAKCOMM as I
|
|
travel a lot and also use TERM with an external modem. I ussually dump
|
|
stuff to my Osborne Executive or sometimes to my C-128 too. I am not a
|
|
paying CFOG member, but I would like one program for the Osborne to
|
|
lay the time in the corner of the screen. I hate to pay $25.00,
|
|
or that one program. Chat later! <BW>

to BILL WOLFF re: R/PX-GENEVA-STUFF
|
|
|
|
Well, let me know the name of the file and maybe I can get it for
|
|
you. As for the Geneva - WS is a SLOW PIG compared to VDE; It takes
|
|
about 10 seconds for WS to load, and VDE takes _1_! Anyway, WS does
|
|
do more, but I'm using my PX-8 for editing only; for printing, everything
|
|
goes to the Kaypro. Actually, for editing everything goes to the Kaypro.
|
|
This is pretty much a 'writing dump' machine. I haven't seen the first
|
|
program you mentioned, but PXUTIL is a little fat for what it does. If
|
|
you've seen my list for Ben Cohen, you can see that I have a series of
|
|
1K utilities that do the job nicely. Anyway, I have been informed by
|
|
Ben of a fellow who will burn a 32K ROM for the PX-8 for $25. I'm
|
|
(finally) gonna have my dream portable. I think he'll do 64K chips as
|
|
well, I'll let you know. In theory, drive I: can be up to 128 K on a
|
|
chip, but I've never seen one of those.
|
|
I've happily avoided games on this machine, though I keep BASIC on hand
|
|
just in case I need to do something unforseen, and I don't have anything
|
|
else that I'd want to leave in I:. Just gimme VDE and a couple of
|
|
small (and I _do_ mean _small_ utilities and I'm happy. I got all that
|
|
I wanted into 29K!

|
|
I need the name and phone number(s) for a few out-call software
|
|
consulting firms in the Chicago area for a project that is starting.
|
|
|
|
I prefer to avoid general placement services as they don't screen
|
|
the people they send out which wastes my time.
|
|
|
|
Any warning about "problem" companies would also be appreciated.
