Yep. That's the one. I jumped up and started to throw a salute

|
|
|
|
Don't have any suggestions, but one of the things that I have run into is
|
|
disks formatted by PS/2s to 1.44 megs WITHOUT the benefit of the second
|
|
hole punch that is "standard" for high density 3.5" disks. Apparently,
|
|
I'm told, IBM doesn't recognize the IBM/Sony standard in the PS/2s (or at
|
|
least didn't originally) and since 'DOS will format to high density
|
|
unless you tell it not to, the result is a disk that can't be read
|
|
on non PS/2s without punching a hole in them. FUN!

The Information Technology Resource Center (ITRC) provides computer
|
|
training and assistance to non-profit organizations in the Chicago
|
|
area. They have received donations of computers in the past that
|
|
they have passed on to some of their member organizations. They
|
|
are located at 59 East Van Buren, Suite 2020, Chicago, IL 60605-1219.
|
|
Their phone number is (312) 939-8050.

Cliff, my understanding is that DOS 5 does not require that IBM.SYS and
|
|
IBM.BIO reside in the first data clusters on the disk, nor that their
|
|
directory entries be the first on the disk. So what you thought was
|
|
"skillful damage" may have not been so at all. The real test would be
|
|
whether those two files were listed anywhere elsewhere in the directory.
|
|
|
|
This is not to belittle the "hacker pandemic." A salesman at Elektek says
|
|
that people try almost daily to crash the store's demo computers, or erase
|
|
files from them.
|
|
|
|
I'm not clear about the setup at the library you describe. Are you saying
|
|
that the public computers are equiped with a hard disk, but that patrons
|
|
are not supposed to have access to them? If so, I would consider a
|
|
hardware solution: Disable the hard disk by means of a lock-switch. If
|
|
you opt instead for a software solution, I would think the computers would
|
|
be vulnerable to any patron who brought his own boot diskette.

|
|
Well, the IBMBIO.COM and IBMSYS.COM files (?) were definitely missing
|
|
from the directory. I had had occasion to look at their directory
|
|
previously with DEBUG and noted that they were, indeed, the first two
|
|
entries in the directory, and occupied the first clusters on that drive.
|
|
That's why I say that whoever did this deed did it very skillfully, since
|
|
cluster 2 (which used to belong ot IBMBIO.SYS) now belonged to the DOS
|
|
directory.
|
|
Since the patrons are indeed allowed access to the hard drives, we
|
|
can't just disable them. What I've settled on for the nonce is to remove
|
|
ATTRIB.COM from the drives, and use my own program to make the necessary
|
|
programs write-protected. But your ideas are VERY much appreciated, as
|
|
are those of the other people I haven't yet responded to.
|
|
I suppose the best idea is to get them a pair of 21 MB tape backups,
|
|
by donation if possible, and enable them to restore the system to its
|
|
pre-cracker condition.

|
Roy, THANK YOU for the tip. I will call them today and see if they
|
|
might have some spare tape backups. (I will also keep them in mind if
|
|
I find a benificent donor who might have some "obsolete" equipment.)

|
|
I kinda figured that those books, being as valuable as they were, would
|
|
be really difficult to get. Unfortunately, the SLS, which got the books
|
|
on loan for me, is running into financial difficulties and now has to
|
|
charge a $10 fee for taking a book from one library to another, so I may
|
|
not get another chance at them for some time to come.
|
|
I was REALLY surprised at the statement in the "Vacuum" book that not
|
|
only X-rays, but electron bombardment, can cause outgassing! No small
|
|
wonder the getter is needed. As for other incidental knowledge I gleaned
|
|
from those tomes, I always thought Pyrex glass was a trademark for a
|
|
glass that was resistant to cracking on expansion by temperature changes,
|
|
and noted in a footnote that "Pyrex" is actually a generic term for any
|
|
of 150 different glasses.
|
|
BTW, it also improved my conversational ability with a friend who's
|
|
a plastics expert; now I can understand what he's saying to a better
|
|
extent, and I can even provide him with an occasional bit of knowledge
|
|
he didn't have! Neat.
|
|
If for some reason you find any of those books in a used book store,
|
|
PLEASE let me know immediately! Thanks for the tips; VERY good reading.

I've noticed this phenomenon with a bit of glee; isn't it interesting
|

when IBM comes out with non-IBM-compatible computers? Think back to the

first IBM portable. :-)
