]ward,

Maybe you should put something in the Welcome stating:
|
|
|
|
"The XMODEM spec is located on my other system @ (708) ..."
|
|
|
|
Have a good one.

]For the small hard drive, you might try a company called PrairieTek.
|

I'm not sure if I'm saying something I shouldn't (never heard of the

company before I went under nondisclosure to someone), so don't say
|

you heard it here...

Call tht "Ward Board" at (708) 849-1132, and look at the "low numbered"

|
|
yes, Norton Advanced Utilities has one, and perhaps two, programs to
|
|
recover these files. I have used one of them (and there may only be
|
|
one as some of Norton is over my head and the manual is not the best
|
|
in the world for explaining things at the idotic level), and was
|
|
able to recover about 90 percent of a story I had written. What I lost,
|
|
for some reason, was the last revise I had done. Try NORTON Adv
|
|
Format Recovery (FR), called up with a /SAVE, but you need to use the
|
|
manual to have all the steps and text.

I might be interested-need first to check out whether it's the

BIOS or logic chips which is making my machine act flaky. I'm

not up on BIOS pricing; what price would you suggest?

to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/DISKETTE CACHE?
|
|
|
|
I think there's a diskette cache included in the PC-Kwik Power Pack
|
|
(forget the publisher)-you might check with them. Also, I think
|
|
there's one inuded in a package from Golden Bow Systems called
|
|
V<something or other> (they start the names of all their utils with
|
|
a "V"). Let me know what you find!

to ALL re: HD CTRLR FLAKY
|
|
|
|
A weird situation has come with my machine and its use of the HD
|
|
ctrlr-it will format, read, write, etc. the harddisk, but won't
|
|
boot from it! If I swap the disk subsystem out to another machine,
|
|
without reformatting or changing anything, it boots right up!
|
|
Thourough testing indicates that there is absolutely nothing
|
|
wrong with the disk or ctr (no bad boot sector, ctrlr problems,
|
|
etc.), and I've tried putting the ctrlr in different slots in the
|
|
problem machine, wit results. My theory is that either
|
|
a BIOS routine has gone bad (in ROM) or that a logic chip has flaked
|
|
out. Any ideas?? Have you ever seen this before?? Help!

to COLIN SCHROEDER re: R/HD CTRLR FLAKY
|
|
|
|
What happens if you boot from a floppy, take the floppy out and give the
|
|
3-finger salute? If you successfully boot from the HD under those
|
|
circumstances, what's happening is that either your HD is taking too long
|
|
to come up to speed or your controller isn't waiting long enough for the
|
|
HD to spin up. It could be that your power supply is flaky; if the power
|
|
to the disk motor is too low, the drive will take longer than usual to
|
|
spin up but will probably run OK once it reaches full speed (takes more
|
|
power to accelerate it from a stop than it does to overcome bearing
|
|
friction once it's running).

As Eric noted, it does sound like a timing problem. If by chance you're in
|
|
the habit of skipping some of the start-up memory diagnostics (as I
|
|
sometimes was before adding a fourth drive recently), you may find-as I
|
|
did-that letting the diagnostics run further through its cycle (i.e.,
|
|
what it's doing when on most hardware it displays a number incrementing
|
|
on the screen) solves the problem. Otherwise, I would tend to think the most
|
|
appropriate place to start is a check of the power reaching the drive.
|
|
In any case, good luck in solving the problem.

Just to let you all know, computer wizards do exist. And Eric Buhlman
|
|
is one of them. This guy solved problems over the phone that a computer
|
|
company could not solve in two visits, plus phone conversations of their
|
|
own, over two years. If you have a problem, I suggest you leave a
|
|
message for him. This is, truly, an unsolicted endorsement. I just like
|
|
for the good guys to get recognized.
