RE: Essay on Promoting OS9 (Re: Msg 29529)

From: MARTYGOODMAN To: THEFERRET (NR)

A long long time ago, I noticed a program in the CoCo SIG Database that was a
|
|
tokenized end packed BASIC program. Now, such a program CANNOT be properly
|
|
downloaded with X modem, without going into the CoCo with some pokes after
|
|
loading it in and then saving it out again.
|
|
|
|
Anyway... there were two dozen members who had DL'd it... and I knew of no
|
|
complaints about this program which just COULD NOT WORK as it was.
|
|
|
|
I guess this means that MOST of the time when folks DL stuff and it does not
|
|
work, they just shrug their shoulders, toss it, and try someting else.

RE: SCSI operation (Re: Msg 29544)

I got much of the info I now need from a pin out from a friend and a manual for
|
|
a SCSI hard drive controller. AT least I now know in some detail how SCSI
|
|
busses normally identify and select devices for communication.
|
|
|
|
I was (for my own amusement) attempting to investigate the workings of a SCSI
|
|
based hardware KEY to a Macintosh II Software product. So far, I THINK I have
|
|
ascertained that the thing does NOT communicate in "normal" SCSI fashion, as a
|
|
given SCSI device number.

More recently I got hold of (from COCOKIWI) a manual for a particular SCSI hard
|
|
drive controller board that had a lot of info about SCSI bus device selection.
|
|
And a pin out of the Mac 2 SCSI bus.
|
|
|
|
Thanks, tho... I may yet have a chat with you on this matter.

Thank you very much for the information. I called the Radio Shack that you

Thanks again, RANDYE

burke vs disto 4/1scII
|
|
From: TARDOS9 To: ALL
|
|
|
|
Have there been any reported problems when a disto SCII w/ a 4/1 board is used
|
|
in an mpi w/ a burke xt interface. I had to choose this configuration because I
|
|
coul not locate any compatible controllers for the disto 4/1. This setup seems
|
|
to have screwed up the interupts to the 4/1's rs232 port, but it works fine
|
|
without the burke interface installed in the mpi (I am using the disto drivers
|
|
designsted for the mpi).
|
|
|
|
Also, I came across an ancient WD1003-cmd hard drive controller. Can this be
|
|
made to work with the disto 4/1?. It would be great to pull this mpi off of the
|
|
coco3 for good (with the power off, of course). It's not worth the luxury of two
|
|
|
|
hard drives at the cost of a serial port... help!

May I suggest that you purchase the latest copy of Computer Shopper. Locate the
|
|
|
|
add from Computer Surplus Store...they carry the Adaptec 4000A SCSI controller
|
|
that you need (btw: this is the controller that Tony recommends that a person
|
|
use, it's the fastest).
|
|
|
|
The problem you're having by using the B&B and 4-1 is the fact that the B&B is
|
|
mapped at $FF50-$FF53, right over the 4-1 RTC and parallel port. I also had that
|
|
|
|
problem. Reason is I inherited the B&B interface and controller (DTC 5150).
|
|
|
|
Hope this helps.
