to BILL WOLF/ALL re: CBBS 2400 ONLY!
|
|
|
|
Based upon a phone call from Roy Lipscomb several days ago, I researched
|
|
the log - sure enough, CBBS has been accepting 2400 baud calls only since
|
|
the new hardware was put in place! I have to assume that the faster processor
|
|
is somehow related to my software timing (remember, we're running OLD CP/M
|
|
code here - not modern PC "timer tic" type software).
|
|
I'm going to look into it this weekend and see if I can find what to
|
|
patch to get it working again.
|
|
You might drop a note on other area BBSs that CBBS is 2400 only due to
|
|
the processor change, but that it is being looked into.

I've installed Windows 3, but am disappointed - as I frequently am lately -
|
|
by the loss of older commands - I used to use alt-F9 and alt-F10 and alt
|
|
esc all the time to rotate between applications and maximize the appropriate
|
|
one, etc. I often wonder what logic people like Microsoft, and Norton, use
|
|
when they get you used to something then take it away.
|
|
I've had no inclination to run ANYTHING under Windows, since at the HEART
|
|
of my PC usage is a control-Caps swapper software TSR, that Windows gets in
|
|
below and defeats. That makes Windows take all my programs hostage, and
|
|
makes me very anti-windows. I use windows as LITTLE as possible because
|
|
of that, and the unwelcome bright screens (though I've customized it a bit).
|
|
With only 2M on a 286, and all the above, I guess I'm not likely to be
|
|
every very strongly into Windows 3.

If you've seen the inside of ANY ni-cad operated appliance, as I have -
|
|
- soldering iron
|
|
- shaver
|
|
- grass clipper
|
|
- dust buster
|
|
.then you know that the batteries have ZERO extra space for anything.
|
|
I need solder tab, no "holder" would come even CLOSE to fitting, Matter
|
|
of fact, some times the thickness of the solder tabs themselves makes
|
|
it too tight a fit!
|
|
Thanks anyway. I DID go to a holder in my MIDI keyboard when its very
|
|
expensive lithium battery died - a couple penlights have kept it going for
|
|
years.

>> That's << the answer I'm looking for! I am sitting right here with one
|
|
solder-tab nicad (AA size) having put the other in my tiny printing calculator
|
|
- I saw Mr. NiCad at a HamFest, and bought 2 AA's anticipating the repair
|
|
on my calculator, but then a few weeks later my Dust Buster stopped working,
|
|
and now I need a "C" size (or perhaps two, since I already replaced one of
|
|
'em already, and there are 3).
|
|
Thanks VERY much!

|
|
|
|
I have seen the latest, with their "Cupid" architecture. However, I'm
|
|
not looking to buy a NEW, UPGRADEABLE system, but rather to upgrade my
|
|
OLD, non-upgradeable system, hoping that due to its popularity (possibly
|
|
the third most popular form factor after the XT and AT form factors). Its
|
|
7-slot architecture and different mounting holes makes it not suitable
|
|
for putting a regular board in it.

to BILL WOLFF re: R/LOGGING ON AT 1200 BAUD!
|
|
|
|
To reply to your msg in detail, no, the 300/1200 loss was a complete
|
|
surprise. I sure DIDN'T lock 'em out! Matter of fact, my own 9600 access
|
|
is GONE TOO! Something is completely wrong with the setup. It just dawned
|
|
on me, perhaps the modem itself got locked at 2400, but I suspect instead
|
|
some timing problems with the faster processor. It didn't answer calls at
|
|
all with "turbo" turned on - unless coincidentally that was a non-2400 call
|
|
also. I watched at Randys right after the new hardware was put on - after
|
|
kicking out of turbo mode, it answered the next call.
|
|
Will investigate this weekend.

Yeh, I don't use TSR's myself, but am unhappy that W3 won't coexist
|
|
with QEMM 5.0. I did discover a trick, though, if you can't get
|
|
rid of a non-windows application icon after you've deleted the
|
|
application, or thought you did, using the setup process. All of the
|
|
icons are listed in a file with "MAIN" in the name. I'm being
|
|
cryptic because at this moment I can't remember the name of that
|
|
pesky file. I'll look again and report in a later message. I merely
|
|
edited the file, and crtl-Y'd the offending line with my trusty old
|
|
WORDSTAR in non-document mode!

Hi, I'm calling from San Francisco. I'm not sure if I'm in Chicago when I
|
|
Log on so can someone tell me. My name is Tan. The real reason for this
|
|
message is to advertise my 2-month old Relisys Monitor. I'm a graphics
|
|
fanatic so I'm looking forward to getting a VGA Monitor. My suggested price
|
|
is $250 but I'm always open for deals. So call me at my place at
|
|
(415) 824-3085 in San Francisco if you want a good deal on a nice EGA
|
|
Monitor. Thank You and Hello Chicago.
|
|
P.S. A Paradis EGA card is included with the package.

Look at the bottom of your keyboard to see if there are any DIP switches
|
|
there. I had been using IBMFIX (or whatever it's called) for a few months
|
|
and then by chance happened to turn my keyboard over. Lo and behold, there
|
|
were two DIP switches, and one of them was labeled as swapping the Control
|
|
and Caps Lock keys.
