Does anyone know if CRC in Montreal is still manufacturing DISTO products? If
|
|
so, could someone provide me with their address?
|
|
After a few years of ignoring my COCO III I dug it all out and decided to
|
|
re-learn OS-9 - mostly to get some enjoyable relief from my normal Mess DOS
|
|
activities. I would like to use the COCO for telecom so I need the serial port
|
|
adapter for my Super Controller II.
|
|
|
|
Thanks,
|

Disto stopped production last year. But you're not out of luck because you
|
|
don't need to get that serial adapter. Just get a RS-232 pak and a Slot Pak
|
|
III multipak equivalent. Both are available from CoCoPRO!. You can contact
|
|
them by modem at 313 292 4713. You can also ask them about a used Disto
|
|
adapter if you want to. A fully assembled RS-232 pak will cost $45 and the
|
|
Slot Pak $90. Your SC-II will work fine in the Slot Pak. Put it in Slot B, the
|
|
RS-232 pak in Slot X, and you will have Slot A free for something else.

An ANSI compatible C Compiler would be nicer! Is Microware the only vendor of

|
C Compilers for the 68000 market?

Never used Gnu C for OSK but do have a political comment!
|
|
|
|
I believe a bad aspect of distributing major piece of software like Gnu C for
|
|
free is it stifles the market place. May be good for the home computer users
|
|
but perhaps the commercial users will suffer because of FSF (lack of support,
|
|
outdated technology, and etc).

I downloaded both gpp (C++ compiler) and gcc (ANSI C) from Delphi and I can say
|
|
that I am very impressed! Although I only had these compilers for the last 48
|
|
hours, I believe I will be using them from now on. Also gcc appears to
|
|
generate tighter code than Microware C (Don't forget to throw on the optimizer
|
|
using the -O option!).
|
|
|
|
Installing gpp was a little troublesome. The routine perror() and _flsbuf()
|
|
were missing from the C++ library. Also renamed libgpp.l to gpp.l (gpp.l looks
|
|
like a subset of libgpp.l). Currently employing the gpp C++ compiler to
|
|
implement computer science concepts encountered in my studies this semester!
|
|
I'll leave a message on Delphi explaining the quirks that I have found so far.
|
|
|
|
Someone should upload a copy to CIS. These are great compilers as far as I can
|
|
see.

Up on Delphi, there is a C Compiler called the GCC Compiler.
|
|
|
|
I've only used it a couple of times, but, according to the extensive help file
|
|
included in the command, it supports the ANSI standard, including trigraphs,
|
|
and has many features the stock MW C Compiler does not have.
|
|
|
|
The modules, compressed, are about 650,000 bytes -- the largest module being
|
|
over 425,000 bytes long.

Had no problem installing it, and it's fairly easy to use. Wish the dox file
|
|
that came with it had the help screen in it, though.
|
|
|
|
The dox are lacking in what-all this compiler can do, and the only true help is
|
|
the '-?'.

The claim made by the folks who originally did lint was that the compiler
|
|
shouldn't bother to tell you about questionable constructs, but should do what
|
|
it's told and generate code for it even if it looks like a construct that may
|
|
be bogus (semantically bogus, e.g. use a variable that may not have been set).
|
|
|
|
OTOH, these days people expect compilers to do the kind of flow analysis lint
|
|
does, though for other reasons, and ANSI prototypes allow some of the error
|
|
checking that lint did, so there's less of an argument for a separate lint
|
|
program.

Ken,

If you are getting garbage to the printer, it is possible that the printer port
|
|
is bad or the little cable from the port to the DB-25 connector is bad. Either
|
|
one is not easy to test for. About the only solution I can think of is to send
|
|
the I/O board and the cables to me and I'll check it out. If you can find a
|
|
person close by with an MM/1 and a printer that works, it would help eliminate
|
|
some things.

but for what its worth, I got it to print... I swapped the p & p1

(does that turn LF's off or on? it doesn't say in the docs)...and I started

using the 3meg_init.... I dont know (or care) witch of those 3 things did the

James,

I may have to call Midwest and order one of those keyboards. One of the

reasons I like the Northgate keyboard is because of the ability to remap the

keys. I have a CTRL key left of the "A" key and like it that way. I use

Dynastar both on the CoCo and MM/1 and having the CTRL key there is very

convenient.

Is someone collecting a list of keyboards which do and don't work with the

Could you post the complete dmode output for your descriptor? I'm using the new
|
|
drivers without any problems and would like to compare.

Here's the dmode of /d1. I've tried it with rates=$30 but still get error
|
|
247 unless sct and t0s=31.
|
|
|
|
name=d1
|
|
drv=1 stp=3 typ=$21 dns=$03 cyl=80 sid=2 vfy=0 (on) sct=33 t0s=33

|
|
scsiopt=$0000 maxcount=65535
|
|
|
|
Am I missing something obvious? This boot will read msdos diskettes using
|
|
the /hpc1 descriptor by the way.
|
|
|
|
I'm using modules from the update Mark uploaded. Any help will be much
|

Yeah, I forgot all about the lockout problem. Haven't tried it with a
|
|
non-interactive window. And if you switch windows to hit enter so that the
|
|
block goes away, well it defeats the purpose of the command <grin>.
|
|
|
|
Does the same thing happen when you do "(winsel;myprog)<>>>/w"? Since a shell
|
|
is being forked to handle the stuff in the line, I guess things are blocked
|
|
here too? It would be nice to have an elegant way to handle this. Hmmm, what
|
|
about having a prog. open a path to /w, select the new window and then start a
|
|
shell there with "myprog" as a parm? Might be a lot of shells being forked, but
|
|
it should work. I just have to write a "open new window, select it and run a
|
|
program in it" program. Opps, not that simple. I'd have to close stdin, etc.
|
|
first so that the new program can use it's own paths.
|
|
|
|
Hmmm, and then there is still the problem of returning to the original
|
|
screen--esp. if the paths have been closed. Oh, guess they could be duped to
|
|
higher numbers... will give this some thought, play and let you know.

Bob,
|
|
|
|
The lockout comes from a program (like the shell) tieing up a device with a
|
|
pending ReadLn. SCF locks the device so that someone else can't splat
|
|
characters on top of whatever you're about to type in. Just forking a subshell
|
|
with "()" doesn't cause a lockout, as it doesn't do any reads while working.
|
|
|
|
But you're right, "(selwin;myprog)<>>>/w" doesn't work. That's because none of
|
|
those paths are associated with the currently interactive window.
|
|
|
|
It's easy to get around this when the shell (like the CoCo's) has "</1" and all
|
|
the variations (which is no doubt why that was included!).
|
|
|
|
Hmmm. The best I can think of right now that works is slightly hardcoded to
|
|
work only from /term:
|
|
|
|
(cls;selwin >/term;mdir -e)<>>>/w
|
|
|
|
The ">/term" is kinda like the CoCo's "</1" method. Except we made "selwin"
|
|
send the 1b21 to path 2, and come from path 1.
|
|
|
|
Sigh. I think we need a new shell. Wonder how hard it'd be to do one in
|
|
Basic? :-) Will work on other ideas, too. cheers - kev

I tried just using 1b 21 to select a window without a shell, and that didn't
|
|
work either. I did the following:
|
|
|
|
iniz /w7
|
|
echo "this is a test" >/w8
|
|
|
|
Hit <f9> to confirm that the window was displaying; then back to /term.
|
|
|
|
display 1b 21 >/w8
|
|
|
|
Nothing happened.

Just thought I'd let you all know the results of some testing I've done with
|
|
Carl's new floppy drivers for the mm/1. These tests were done with a Toshiba HD
|
|
drive--I'd be interested in knowing if different drives give different results.
|
|
|
|
First off, I've discovered that I can format 37 sectors and 84 tracks. This is
|
|
probably pushing things, and is not something I recommend.
|
|
|
|
Second, here are some speed tests (I'm just showing the fastest rate at
|
|
different sect. counts):
|
|
|
|
sects ilv k/sec
|
|
36 3 596
|
|
35-28 2 834
|
|
27 1 1043 (not consistant)
|
|
26 1 1390
|
|
|
|
The penalty for "turbo mode" seems to be pretty expensive.
|
|
|
|
Now we just have to decide on a standard format for interchange!

I just read your message to James and saw your dmode. I set typ=$27 and

rates=$30. Now everything appears to work normally. I thought I had tried all

the combinations for PD_TYP and PD_Rate on page 3-6 of the V2.4 Release Notes.

No matter. It's working now.

I'm pretty sure typ=$27 is done to make the driver think it's a 8" to get the
|
|
3ms step rate. And to let the driver also know that it's a 3.5" for formatting
|
|
purposes.

Mike H. is pretty close. Type *should* be $26. But, due to the roms, that
|
|
disk won't boot. If (and only if) you want it to boot, you have to add $01,
|
|
the old 8" bit. This will (I am told) be corrected in a future release of the
|
|
roms. I made all the distribution desctriptors that way to try to avoid
|
|
billions and billions (sorry Carl) of people complaining that they couldn't get

|
disks to boot.
|

Wish I could type - desctriptors == descriptors.

Your speed tests look a little slow. A 1.43 Meg MM/1 type formatted disk
|

should get around 15 Kbytes a second transfer (read and write).

Well, I'd suggest leaving the descriptors as thet come from IMS. That might be

a good "standard".

Don't worry about a membership application. You apply wherever is convenient
|
|
for you. All we need is your name and address (which I already have), so that
|
|
we can start the process of exchanging information. In the case of Australian
|
|
members, we are still deciding on the method of information exchange, i.e.,
|
|
what would be the most cost effective manner. If there were enough interest in
|
|
your area, it might be to use Fido file transfers, so that you could get files
|
|
within the same day they are distributed throughout the network. Of course, if
|
|
you want the large number of files we already have, postal mail might be the
|
|
best option to start. As for method of communications, it is already
|
|
established. Here in Hawaii, I am having problems with my mail feed, but other
|
|
regional coordinators are on the echos quite regularly. I just sent the basic
|
|
information out the echos. If
|
|
you have any questions, be sure to ask on the COCO or OS9 echo. It was
|
|
exciting to see the first message to come from Australia in the COCO echo. It
|
|
seems to prove that the COCO, OS9, and its community aren't dead, as this
|
|
community has been able to form a network that is at last reaching around the
|
|
world :-) Were you able to get our guidelines (OS9NET.ARC) from here? I am
|
|
about to upload the last two newsletters up to the miscellaneous area (in the
|
|
old IBM arc format). If you need me to send these postal mail, let me know
|
|
here, or on the COCO or OS9 echo. I will also get a care package of shareable
|
|
files together so that the region in Australia can start its library. Let me
|
|
know what disk format you want, and it would also help if you could send some
|
|
disks.

AS I continue my shake out of the I/O board, I've run across a problem using my
|
|
high speed PPI 9600 baud modem on /t3.
|
|
|
|
Seems that unless I turn off the local hardware flow control (RTS/CTS), data
|
|
isn't received. I can dial, make the connect, get all the nice info that tells
|
|
me I have a MNP and v.42 connection. I can also see the xmit light flash on the
|
|
modem, so data is getting through.
|
|
|
|
Flipping thought the Tech manual (nice job, Mark!), I find info to the effect
|
|
that hardware hand shaking isn't turned on. To do so, I need only to set the
|
|
high bit on the 'type' parameter.
|
|
|
|
Lessee .... it's '00' now, so that would make it $80, jes?
|
|
|
|
Reading further, I'm also told there is not software to accomplish this task.
|
|
|
|
Trying Xmode /t3 type=$80 confirms this. What's a newbie to do?
|
|
|
|
Is there a way I can do what needs to be done? Am I even on the right track?

Setting type=$80 is the way to turn on hardware handshake. I used a binary

|

|
|
crank out a little util to do it. The downside is you have to reboot after

I found you can xmode /t3 type=80 (notice no hex sign) the save it out and
|
|
verify it with fixmod or ded. I've the same set up as you. PM 9600SA and all.
|
|
Works VERY well at 38.4 Kb. :-) Sure make uucp fly!

Mike,
|
|
|
|
I was able to use xmode as you suggested and saved it out, used fixmod and made
|
|
a new boot. Still no luck. Everything is still as it was ... data going out,
|
|
but nothing coming back.
|
|
|
|
Which version of xmode are you using? The one that came on the distribution
|
|
disks or the one with the update modules that was here for a few days?
|
|
|
|
How do you have your modem set up? Anything special?

Your xmode matches the one I'm using (from the update). I'll try your modem
|
|
settings as well as upping the port speed to 38.4 as you have done and see what

I'll go over your modem parameter setting with a fine tooth comb when I get

home from the office tonight. I may have someting out of wack there.
|

Can you think of anything else that might be contributing to this problem? Did

you happen to whip up a special cable perhaps?

I have another paddle board that is wanting one more jumper. I'll dig one up at

I've just finished installing /t4 (second paddle board) and find I have the
|
|
same problems with that one as well. The thing does fine so long as hardware
|
|
flow contrtol is off. (&K0)
|
|
|
|
I'm in the process of matching your modem parameters and trying it again, but
|
|
inthe meantime, could I get you to verify the position of the 8 jumpers on your
|
|
paddle boards?

Mike,

The jumpers on P4 control the logic of RTS and DTR. The jumper is labeled as:
|
|
|
|
1 * * 2
|
|
3 * * 4
|
|
5 * * 6
|
|
7 * * 8
|
|
|
|
looking at the paddle board with the DB-9 to the left. Jumpering pins 1 and 2
|
|
allow RTS to toggle freely. Jumpers across 3 and 4 tie RTS high. Jumpering
|
|
pins 5 and 6 allow DTR to toggle freely while jumpering 7 and 8 tie it high.
|
|
|
|
Steve's problem is pins 3 and 4 are jumpered. The default settings on the
|
|
paddle boards are for 3,4 and 5,6 to be jumpered. If he moves the jumper on
|
|
3,4 to 1,2, it should work.
|
|
|
|
This is all explained in the tech manual.

Now ... all I need to figure out is how to increase the xmit and rec buffer
|
|
size in the appropriate descriptors. At 9600 baud, Sterm falls all over itself
|
|
with the stock values.

Great! Guess I had the jumpers backwards. <eek> Sorry 'bout that. The way
|
|
Mark said to jumper P4 is the way I have mine too.
|
|
|
|
Have you copied the moded.fields file, that was in the update, to /DD/SYS? If
|
|
so just do a "moded t3" to the descriptor on disk. It allows you to set the
|
|
buffer sizes.
|
|
|
|
With STerm and the PPI, just for fun try an at$h to list the modems AT menu.
|
|
You'll see that Kev's <Tab> character now maps to the old CoCo up line char.
|
|
(Bummer) I've tried to get him to take it out. So if you to a write to the
|
|
window, the $09 comes out as an up line command and if you do a writeln it's a
|
|
<Tab>. 'Course it makes sense to use write in a term program, right? <g> (Pun
|
|
Alert!) 'Cause write is the right way to write, right? (Baa-daa-ping!)
|
|
|
|
When you figure out the optimal buffer sizes for Sterm and /t3 lemme know what
|
|
sizes you ended up with. My input buffer size is 3840 and the output buffer is
|
|
32768? Seems quite incorrect to me! Lemme check to see If I have the latest
|
|
/t3 descriptor.... Oops! My t3 is 8 bytes shorter than the latest. Better
|
|
fix that right now. Input is 80 output is 140.....
|
|
|
|
.. Ok put the new descriptor in. I set the input buffer to 4096. Works well
|
|
for everything but CIS at 9600 bps. @ 9600 it still drops chars with STerm on
|
|
CIS. <Arg!> Works fine on the local BBS's and with UUCP tho.
|
|
|

(Ain't this fun!)

Yeah, I noticed with Sterm that stupid up cursor comes back because Sterm does
|
|
use write() to write to the screen. I thought about putting writeln() in to
|
|
fix it, but then I'd have to wait until a full line of text came in from the
|
|
modem before writing to the screen. This would make the output look pretty
|
|
jumpy if there were long lines in the data stream so I decided against it.
|
|
|
|
Seems pretty stupid to me to have that up-cursor in there again. After years
|
|
of listening to people complain about it you would think that Kevin would not
|
|
have put it back in. Sometimes I wonder were that boy's mine is.

Ummm, the 09=up was in there because of the people who originally wanted
|
|
(and had specified at first) "CoCo compatibility".
|
|
|
|
As for write() vs writeln()... learn some more. Writeln doesn't always mean
|
|
"write until carriage return". It means "write with possible editing"...
|
|
eg: change tabs to spaces for terminals which don't support tabs and/or if
|
|
you want tabs to be a different spacing than what the terminal default is.
|
|
|
|
Writeln works just like write if you specify fewer characters and turn off
|
|
certain path options. RTM.
|
|
|
|
Here's a program which should take any windio version and kill the 09=up code.
|
|
Load it into basic, pack it, then chd to your boot module directory and
|
|
make a copy of your old windio. Now call the program using the name of
|
|
the windio file to modify, like "nulltab windio"... then make a new boot.
|

Enjoy!

Sterm isn't the only com program that uses write. So does uWare's Com. I

John,

You can find all that in the OS-9 system manuals that come with you OSK box.
|
|
There is a whole section on OS-9 system calls. If you don't have your manuals
|
|
yet, I can help you on some of them. Any calls you have in mind?

Mike,

no manuals yet! I need the screen/window related calls. I program primaryly
|
|
in assembly. Will try C when my I/O board arrives & I have the Hard drive
|
|
running.
|
|
|

thanks in advance for any and all help.

If you can call the c library from asm you should be able to use the CGFX.L
|
|
here in Lib 12. The docs are up there also. If you can't use the library, I'm
|
|
pretty sure someone had uploaded a util that told the display codes for the
|
|
CoCo 3 in DL 10. One was called displa.txt and the other helpwn.b09.
|
|
|
|
Any specific codes you need? This list is quite extensive.

Mike,
|
|
I know the Coco 3 display codes.
|
|
Without the Osk Manuals, I have no idea on how to call a C library function.
|
|
What I need is the down and dirty (grin) details on using such get/set status
|
|
calls as SS.Palet gs.address , etc. from assembly.
|
|
register usage , data stuctures (SS.Mouse) and the like.
|
|
I can't start to port any of my games to OSK with this info.
|
|
Screen layout info would also be handy, as well as more info on SS.Play &
|
|
SS.Tone.
|
|
|
|
any and all info would be appreciated. I can hardly to get my games running
|
|
on the MM/1. (Soviet Bloc & Gems)

Finally got my I/O board last week and got the HD populated -- this
|
|
is *great*! What a personality change it makes in the MM/1!!
|
|
|
|
I'm having a bit of trouble getting a mouse to work tho, and could
|
|
use a hint or two. ;-)
|
|
|
|
I've got ms and ms901 (ms68901) in memory, stdpats_16 & _256 merged via
|
|
startup, but I never see a mouse pointer. Tried both a Mouse Systems
|
|
trackball and a Logictech mouse on /t2 (they both work on a PC).
|
|
|
|
Logictech is completely dead - movement = null, buttons = null. Mouse
|
|
says on bottom 'Microsoft compatible'.
|
|
|
|
Mouse Systems - buttons = null, trackball = window change. M/S is
|
|
supposed to be 'Logictech compatible'.
|
|
|
|
What am I missing? Should I have /t2 in the boot?
|
|
|
|
TIA,
|
|
...Jim
|
|
p.s. For anyone looking for an audio cable for their MM/1, most stereo
|
|
dealers carry a cable made for Euro cassette decks to amp input made
|
|
by RECOTON - p/n AC409 for about $3.69 or so.

Jim,

Do you have ms68901 or ms901? They are different drivers. Make sure the baud
|
|
rate in /ms is set to 1200. And dump /ms to see which driver it wants. (Should
|
|
be at the end of the module).
|
|
|
|
The driver and descriptor has to be Gen'd into the boot or it wont work. Also
|
|
you'll need to leave /T2 OUT of the bootfile. The patterns should not affect
|
|
the mouse at all.
|
|
|
|
I'm running a LogiTech 3 button mouse here, Model No: CC-93-DF. (I can't
|
|
remember what the box said, I use to use it on the CoCo)
|
|
|
|
Let us know how it turns out. If you don't get a pointer after doing the
|
|
above. Post the Idents of the modules and the xmode to /ms for me.
|

Thanks for the quick reply. About the only thing that I hadn't checked

was the baud rate for /ms, but it was O.K.
|
|
|
|
>Do you have ms68901 or ms901? They are different drivers.
|
|
|

Hmm, the bootlist calls for ms68901, but ms901 is the one that shows up
|
|
in an MDIR. There is no ms901 in the bootmods/win directory. A dump shows
|
|
both to be identical, at least on screen.

You have the same modules as mine. Hmmmm. Execpt my ms901 was patched to give

me full access to the hi-res overscan screens. Xmode is the same on the

Look at the files.ar source in DL9. It's fairly simple though:
|
|
|
|
1) Open directory of choice for DIR+READ
|
|
2) Scan entries at 32 bytes each (29 name; 3 LSN of FD Sector)
|
|
3) When you find the name you want, get the LSN for its FD Sector
|
|
4) Open the WHOLE disk (i.e. /d1@, /dd@), and seek & read that
|
|
sector number. Extract the file's size from here.

You may also want to see if HDKALL.AR has it in there (Dl9). Mike Ward may have

Oh my. I could help if he had an MM/1, but I probably can't do anything for

the TC070. Any tape driver would have to work with Dave's hard disk driver,

and I am not privy to that.

Well ..... not to worry. He won't be needing the SCSI stuff anytime soon. Seems
|

he's fried the TC70 shortly after he received the new serial cables Frank sent
|

for him to install.
|
|

I doubt the two incidents were related, but ...

Given all the problems Barry still has with the TC70 system he purchased almost

a year ago, my advice to him was to pack the whole thing up and send it to

Frank with a note:

Have any STERM users experienced lock-ups when down-loading? It seems to me
|
|
that at least 30% of the time when downloading with Compuserve B, STERM locks
|
|
up and I have to QUIT out. Symptoms from watching the modem lights seem to
|
|
indicate that something happens at the end of or during the pause for disk
|
|
writing (I'll have to try it with ramdisk) when transmission from CIS
|
|
apparently stops. Then a character seems to come from CIS every minute or so
|
|
but gets no response from my computer. Am I correct that there is no breakout
|
|
option with STERM to get out of the downloading mode? Thanks for your comments
|
|
and advice. Ches.

Ches,
|
|
|
|
I'm using Sterm and not noticing any problems while downloading ....but have
|
|
had some lock ups while trying to capture ASCII files and capture dumps.
|
|
|
|
Looking closer at the data on the screen, I noticed a repeating pattern which
|
|
reminded me of a similar occurance on the CoCo when 2400 baud modems became
|
|
popular and we started to push the box.
|
|
|
|
The xmit and receive buffers are tiny and tend to overflow quickly. Sterm
|
|
looses it's mind when this happen. I've only been able to hit the reset button
|
|
to regain control.
|
|
|
|
I've bumpped the buffers up to 2K and haven't seen the problem since.
|
|
|
|
I'm curious ... how fast are you running the port and what type of modem?

Thanks for response, Steve. I'm running 2400 on an Avatex modem. From an
|
|
intuitive viewpoint, I'd guess small buffers to be the problem. How can I
|
|
alter buffer size? Ches.

Opps.... almost replied as if you were running on a MM/1.
|
|
|
|
Changing the buffer sizes will depend on whose drivers you're using. If they're
|
|
tandy stock, there's a file in the COCO Library here that details the offsets
|
|
to modify.
|
|
|
|
Try a browse /key:ACIA
|
|
|
|
or /key:buffer*
|
|
|
|
and see what pops up.

If you are locking up with B+ downloads, you are either missing interrupts or
|
|
the hard drive is not fast enough. If you don't have the IRQ hack installed
|
|
you should. Try specifying the -f option when you start Sterm and see how that
|
|
goes.

To judge from the number of messages in the past month or so, OS9 on the CoCo 3
|
|
is dead. I suppose it was to be expected, but, speaking as one who has to
|
|
struggle to pay the mortgage and taxes and hasn't a hope of ever being able to
|

afford a new computer, I'm sad to see it go. I guess whatever I've got in terms

I don't know whether I'd draw that conclusion, Ian. Doing so is sort of like
|
|
the famous Literary Digest poll back in the 30's from which it was concluded
|
|
that FDR didn't have a snowball's chance in <theological region> of being
|
|
elected president. Just as they picked people with phones to ask, and thus got
|
|
mostly the folks with money, looking here on CIS similarly skews the results,
|
|
considering how much more it costs to use the OS-9 SIG here on CIS than to
|
|
spend the same amount of time, say, on Delphi, what with the 20/20 deal they
|
|
offer.
|
|
|
|
Check out the OS-9 echo on FIDO...it seems pretty active to me, and mostly the
|
|
folks there have CoCos, near as I can tell.

Ian -
|
|
|
|
Most people here read and download, and post mostly when they have a question.
|
|
I guess all the questions have been answered :-) Well, not really, of course.
|
|
|
|
I think there are probably more CC-3 OS9 users now than ever. Check out some
|
|
of the cocolist transcripts in Lib 14 (they're near the top). The coco fests
|
|
are still held, also... only most of the stuff there is for OS-9, either 6809
|
|
or very gradually, 68K.
|
|
|
|
So no, most people feel as you do: as long as the stuff works, teaches
|
|
something, or is a nice cheap hobby, they're still using the Coco-3. Strangely,
|
|
I've been getting a lot of calls lately from people who're still using L-I on a
|
|
CoCo-1/2! Can you believe it? I couldn't! <grin>

leave a forum message for a descriptive list (about 11K). I uploaded it to my

You will therefore receive the list as binary, so just download it from your

|

presume in OS-9 as well.

You need to use a program called CUTS. It is an encoder/decoder for use on the

An IDE drive has its controller built into it. PC's only need a host adapter
|
|
to use that drive. Same with a CoCo, but I doubt any IDE host adapter for a
|
|
CoCo exists. I don't recommend even attempting to run Disk BASIC (DECB) on the
|
|
hard drive though it can be done. OS-9 boot is possible if you get a capable
|
|
ROM etc.; contact Burke&Burke for that. You can put that drive in your case
|
|
but you will need an adapter to make it fit in there. Somewhere (Lib 9 or 10 I
|
|
think) there's a text file about hard drives and the CoCo; I suggest you have a
|
|
look at it. You got a pretty good price on that drive but I doubt you're going
|
|
to be able to use it on a CoCo. Go for a SCSI based system instead.

Joerg - the XPad is at FF60-63. I can't find my docs right away on what each
|
|
address is for, tho. I believe the first is X, the second is Y, and the third
|
|
is the button and menu and validity status. Need more?

When using the Eliminator I believe that address is not in use so
|

theoretivcally It should be possible. I would like to get all I can. I am

I just happened to have an old reference manual for the X-Pad lying around.
|
|
|
|
Here's the X-Pad hardware register specs:
|
|
|
|
$FF60
|
|
X = 0..255 X coordinate
|
|
|
|
$FF61
|
|
Y = 0..255 Y coordinate
|
|
|
|
$FF62
|
|
Status Byte
|
|
D0 Pen Down 1 = Pen is down
|
|
D1 Proximity 1 = Pen is within 1 inch of the pad surface
|
|
D2 X-Margin 1 = Pen NOT within 1 inch of X margin
|
|
D3 Y-Margin 1 = Pen NOT within 1 inch of Y margin
|
|
D4..D7 Always 0

Do you think it's possible to use the xpad under os9, or is the address
|
|
conflict insurmoutable. I am using the eliminator setup so in theory there is a
|
|
way to not have a hardware address conflict. unless the xpad uses a reserved
|
|
address belonging to the GIME. I seem to remenmber something like that from a
|
|
long while ago??. Joerg

The address conflict wouldn't be as much an issue to me as WHAT KIND of OS9
|
|
driver to use. Seems to me that an SCF driver is closest. Then again, it may
|
|
not fit the bill. You could think about a file manager as well. The X-Pad is
|
|
kind of like a mouse, but is a mouse compatible with the SCF concept?

I guess I don't know. I'd probably try an SCF driver for starters and see if
|
|
it works out. Handle most of the information using GETSTAT calls modeled on
|
|
the mouse stuff in the level 2 windows? I suspect that the X-pad driver would
|
|
rarely present data that you could use read calls for.

John, thanks for the reply. I also left a message for you on Fido Echomail, but
|
|
as you point out there has been a problem in that area. I have just downloaded
|
|
the OCNN01 and OCNN02 from CI$. Have not had a look yet, but am sure they will
|
|
be interesting. Gordon Bentzen will also be interested, and copies of which I
|
|
will convey to him tomorrow, as we work for the same company. I will also
|
|
upload to the News area on our local Fido BBS, the "Galaxy Gateway" 3:640/316.
|
|
|
|
Thanks for the offer of files. We certainly would appreciate the
|
|
opportunity to access this database. Most of us here are using the 80 track
|
|
double sided format, with 5 1/4 floppy drives, and from memory, I think 20 meg
|
|
is average for our hard drives. A few of us including myself have fitted the 1
|
|
meg upgrade, the others (here in Queensland) are using 512 K. We also have a
|
|
few OSK users, with a local member Don Berrie (author of CENV) having ordered
|
|
an MM 1.
|
|
|
|
Just a little info to maybe give a bit of insight to the users "Down
|
|
Under".
|
|
|
|
I will send to you via the postal services, any number of disks you care
|
|
to nominate, by way of reply to me on either CI$, or Echo Mail. I have your
|
|
address as 814 Bannister St #4, Honolulu, HI 96819.
|
|
|
|
Well, it's getting on now John (10 after Midnight Friday morn), so I beter
|
|
go. I will upload this to CI$ and Echo Mail, so you will receive it one way or
|
|
the other.

I am using (sometimes) Deskmate3 on my CoCo3. I have successfully downloaded
|
|
AR'd files and extracted them before. However I have twice downloaded STERM1.51
|
|
and STERM.AR and have been unable to get it working. After much checking and
|
|
leaving a couple of messages, I have made sure all needed modules are in my
|
|
boot file
|
|
/t2 /t1 /m2 and have tried running: STERM -l/t2 >/1 also.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I keep getting a non-existent module error. I know the modules are on the disk,
|
|
and tried linking them in memory before running STERM, and couldn't load any of
|
|
them. A check with IDENT shows all the listed modules below have incorrect
|
|
module headers.
|
|
bplus.h common.h io.c
|
|
bplus.c xmodem.h crc.c
|
|
io.c
|
|
|
|
Could I be doing something wrong, or could Deskmate be writing the wrong header
|
|
info while downloading?
