Hi Kev--I found out the problem I was having with the XMODE readout. I was
|
|
using a version of xmode from the sacia package and some of the items are
|
|
called by different names. Thanks for the scf patch!!

Any TC70 owner: I could use your help, if you please.

Frank finally uploaded to me the newest version of the sc2661 driver and the
|
|
uq37c65 module. Welp, his archive is damaged (from passing between his
|
|
machines), and he said it's gonna be 'a while' before he can get them
|
|
transfered to his machine to resend to me.
|
|
|
|
Wondering if I could ask a TC70 owner, with the current, correct, modules, to
|
|
send them to me here.
|
|
|
|
An important test of my system is awaiting these modules (Murphy's Law -
|

naturally!!).....

Thanks.

Hi Mike... I've got a small problem with UBox. I'm trying to transfer all my
|
|
old Umuse sequences over to Cakewalk on my MSDOG box via MIDI. Ubox isn't
|
|
sending out MIDI sync codes (or at least isn't sending song-start or whatever
|
|
it is). It did work once or twice a long time ago when I first got UBox, but it
|
|
didn't work consistently. One boot-up it would work, then the next it wouldn't.
|
|
Without MIDI sync, I get a sequence in Cakewalk that I can't do anything with -
|
|
timing is too far out of whack to edit - quantizing just screws it up worse.
|
|
Any ideas why UBox doesn't work for me? I've got a lot of work tied up in some
|
|
of those sequences - need to get them transferred! Thanks in advance...

Phil,

|
|

Could it be that you're using a foreign (non-stock) version of XMODE?
|
|
The IDENT on my XMODE command is:
|
|
|
|
Header for: Xmode
|
|
Module size: $03B1 #945
|
|
Module CRC: $865DE1 (Good)
|
|
Hdr parity: $9A
|
|
Exec. off: $013C #316
|
|
Data Size: $0242 #578
|
|

|
|
Ty/La At/Rv: $11 $81
|
|
Prog mod, 6809 obj, re-en, R/O
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure if this module is 100% stock, but
|
|
entering the following command--
|
|
|
|
OS9[W4]:xmode /w1
|
|
|
|
gives the following results on my system--
|

|

Talked to Frank this afternoon, and he told me that he thought the MAC might

pad the .lzh file. I checked and found out that there were 128 additional

|

Using the fu command, I easily stripped the first 128 bytes from the file. The

resultant .lzh file dearchived properly!!

Thanks for sending your updated stuff to frank. I dont beleive he has

done much of a job in pushing his kwindows. I dont really understand. He has
|

been afraid that you would not give adequate support but he has
|

lived with that from every program or programmers. I like your

|
kwindows and have worked out most of the bugs... they werent really
|
|
bugs. I do have one problem to report: I cannot communicate through /t1 with
|
|
sterm under kwindows. The whole
|
|
commputer locks up after about 50 characters are received! I can start
|
|
a shell on /t1 and run programs from there under kwindows and I can use
|
|
sterm under vt70. I can also use sterm through my kbus 4 port card...
|
|
just not through /t1 (which is where zmodem is required to operate).

You can always re-compile the Zmodem software to use another serial port, there

is a constant within the first 100 lines which contains the port number, it is

RE: zmodem. If you have the same rz and sz that I have (the ones from e

), it should be easy to patch them to use any port you like. If you dump rz
|
|
and sz, you should find a /t1 at 335e and 374f respectively. If not there then

look around a bit. I've got mine set up for /t2 now.

Several of you have asked me if I can obtain the manuals for Professional

OS9. I've made a special arrangement with MW where I can provide you
|
|
with the official Professional OS9 Manuals. These cover the commands,
|
|
the assembler calls, the C-Compiler Version 3.2, etc.; in other words, the
|
|
full manuals as provided by MW. I can offer these at 10% less than the
|
|
regular MW price. To do this, I will require at least 10 orders. If
|
|
interested, send me E-Mail or call 302-378-2555.
|

If someone has access to FIDO, StGNet and the CoCo List on Internet, please

Yes, I think those prices are outrageous. Even on mainframe software, the high
|
|
priced manuals are only about $30 or $40 apiece. I really am beginning to think
|
|
that Microware is out to rip all of us off. It has taken years to get them to
|
|
agree to reduce prices on OS9 itself, but to charge those kind of prices for
|
|
two relatively small (and incomplete) manuals is highway robbery. Hey, maybe I
|
|
can get the state of Florida price gouging group they've set up AA (after
|
|
Andrew) to challenge the price! ;-)

Bill,

Aren't you being a little rough on MW? I'm not defending their position
|
|
necessarily, (I have many beefs) but it is important to understand how they
|
|
work.
|
|
|
|
MW's primary customers are OEMs. They have set-up a few dealers (I'm one)
|
|
and they will, reluctantly, deal with the end user. Because of the wide
|
|
variety of hardware and the market base each OEM targets, MW believes the
|
|
OEM knows his hardware and market better than they do. Therefore, they
|
|
leave it to the OEM to decide what modules and documentation his customers
|
|
will require and to provide primary support. The per copy license fee is
|
|
negotiated accordingly.
|
|
|
|
Apparantly, your OEM decided he needed only a limited number of copies of
|
|
the documentation for his market. From the queries I've received, he
|
|
apparantly erred on the low side. He is either unwilling or unable (because
|
|
of the terms of his contract) to order additional manuals.

---- Part 2
|
|
|
|
When I contacted MW re obtaining manuals, they did agree to a slight increase
|
|
in the discount to me to allow a slightly lower end user price. They are
|
|
aware of the price I am offering. However, to get this additional discount,
|
|
I must order in multiples of 10. Note, I don't need these for my customers
|
|
(SYSTEM IV). Professional OS-9 Manuals from MW are included.
|
|
|
|
You say the manuals are small and incomplete. I don't understand that
|
|
statement. My guess is that the manuals comprise about 1000 pages (I
|
|
haven't counted them). Sections include a complete technical explanation
|
|
of the OS, an explanation of the commands, the C-Compiler, the RMA and
|
|
the debugger. I'm not aware of any other OS that includes all this infor-
|
|
mation at this price. No, there is no tutorial. It is a technical reference
|
|
manual. If you need to learn OS-9, Microware does provide courses through-out
|
|
the country at various times for various levels of knowledge and needs.
|
|
|
|
I often have to purchase 'programmers' manuals for various terminals just
|
|
to get information for termcap entries. These vary in price from $30 to
|
|
$60 with most being around $50. The exception is the VT series from DEC -
|
|
they want $135 per manual. Now, that is a rip-off. By the way, most of
|
|
these manuals are 100 pages or less.

----- Part 3
|
|
|
|
When I first took on the SYSTEM IV, I contacted AT&T re porting UNIX to
|
|
the SYSTEM IV. My cost for manuals, if I had gotten a license, would have
|
|
been $200 per set and that didn't include the C-Compiler or the assembler.
|
|
SCO gets a similar price for their manuals; again, with the same limitations.
|
|
|
|
I'm not trying to defend any of MW's practices - rather, I'm trying to put
|
|
them in perspective with regard to comparable OSs I'm familiar with. Your
|
|
complaint, if any, should not be with MW (or me) but rather with the provider
|
|
of your equipment - he is responsible to see that you have the necessary
|
|
information for your system in accordance with the terms of your purchase
|
|
agreement.
|
|
|
|
BTW, is your hardware provider offering you 'Ultra-C'?. MW is offering
|
|
the upgrade for $500.00. You must prove you are a legitimate owner of
|
|
Professional OS-9 and/or the C-Compiler and the offer expires the end
|
|
of this month. Alternatively, most OEM's are offering the upgrade to
|
|
their customers at a price lower than MWs. Customers of DELMAR CO and
|
|
Peripheral Technology will be able to get the upgrade for $200 - not
|
|
much over cost. All of the OEM offers will probably expire the end of
|
|
this month, also.

Ed,
|
|
|
|
Yes, I guess I was a little rough, I have to admit that I considered going back
|
|
and deleting that message after I had left it.
|
|
|
|
I was _not_ defending "my OEM", in fact I got my set of manuals before I got my
|
|
machine! I don't know why IMS decided not to obtain more manuals, but I suspect
|
|
(but I really do not know) that its because MW wanted to charge an obscene
|
|
amount of money for them.
|
|
|
|
As far as my reference to small and incomplete, I was referring to a lack of
|
|
detailed technical information, rather than tutorials, but it came across as
|
|
more critical than I intended. I do think the manuals are not too well
|
|
organized, but there is a lot of information there for the middle of the road
|
|
user. Not enough for the beginner, or the highly technical user, but still a
|
|
lot of good information.
|
|
|
|
My beef is not with MW alone. We constantly battle with software vendors at
|
|
work about high prices for manuals, and in most cases we win, though its
|
|
usually a tough fight. I did not mean to single out MW in this case, but was
|
|
annoyed at the high price of the OS9 manual set, I still think its a rip off to
|
|
charge such high prices for manuals.
|
|
|
|
As I have already stated, I have no complaint with anyone, MW, IMS and
|
|
especially not with you.
|
|
|
|
I have not heard if IMS has made any arrangements about Ultra-C, and quite
|
|
frankly, I don't care. I am happy with the GNU C compiler. Why should I pay MW
|
|
for something I can get for free? Ultra-C may be a good package, but I can't
|
|
justify spending even as "little" as $200 for it. (You just had to toss that
|
|
"ad" in there, didn't you! ;-)

Can't help you a heck of a lot from here. I bought the keyboard with the

serial trackball and mouse keys included on the keyboard.

Has anyone had any luck importing GIF files over to the GWindows environment

using import_gif??
|
|

I've tried stock IBM GIF files, and CoCo GIF files, getting a 249 error when I

|
used import_gif on them. (Haven't been able to find any OS9 GIF files yet here
|
|
in Los Angeles......)

Anyone have any luck??

As a matter of fact NO. I have not been able to figure out what the fool
|
|
progranm wants by way of file. Both the show_gif and the import_gif protest
|
|
that the files }Ure the "wrong type" These are happily displayed on both my
|
|
coco and a pc. There should be no such thing as an "OS9 GIF" all gif files are
|
|
supposed to be the same. Time to ask at the source I'm afraid. Same files
|
|
display OK in KWindows.

Interesting that the same file displays OK thru KWindows, but import_gif won't

work.

Think I'll leave Frank a message for when he talks to Steve Adams, to see what

I'd love to add some pix to the array that he sent with the software.

Jim,

The 'import_gif' program originally provided by Steve Adams handled only
|
|
the older 'gif' format. He has upgraded it to handle the newer 'gif'
|
|
formats. Contact your G-WINDOWS supplier for the upgraded copy.

If you promised Glen the Manuals with his purchase, then you have a legal and
|
|
moral obligation to provide them to him NOW, not 6 months or so from now when
|
|
you get the manuals written.
|
|
|
|
WEven if your purchase of the manuals from MW cost you $150+, and you loose
|
|
EVERY DIME you make off of Glen, you MUST provide him with the manuals YOU
|
|
promised him.
|
|
|
|
If not, he has every right to 1)demand a refund from IMS for the full purchase
|
|
price, or 2)to file suit against IMS for a broken contract.
|
|

Cut the cr** and get him his manuals!!

To: all

Got a question for all you OSK guys out here in CIS land....
|
|
|
|
I am CONSIDERING stocking a chart here at my little company, that will give all
|
|
the instruction sets for the 68000 (and, therefore, for the 68070, too),
|
|
including flags, cycle times (not app. to 68070), registers, exception vectors,
|
|
supervisor & user state modes, pinouts, and much more. (excludes hex opcodes).
|
|
|
|
If I were to stock such a chart (an 8-1/2 x 11 laminated double sided chart),
|
|
would such a chart be usable by you guys who program in machine code, and,
|
|
therefore, be a salable product for my company??
|
|
|
|
These cards are relatively cheap, but I don't want to carry them unless there
|
|
is an interest in them.
|
|
|
|
Please advise.....
|
|
|
|
Thanks.

I am writing a program in C that reads and writes through the serial ports. I
|
|
am using Professional OSK v2.2 and trying to use _gs_rdy() to see is there is
|
|
any data to be read (I have a version that does just a read, but I don't want
|
|
the program to wait for something that might never come). My problem is when I
|
|
call _gs_rdy(path) (where path is the return value from open()) it returns -1
|
|
with an Error #216 (from errno). Am I on the wrong track? Is there another,
|
|
better way to communicate through the serial ports than just doing an open on
|
|
/t1? (I am opening with S_IREAD+S_IWRITE). Any help or comments would be
|
|
greatly appreciated. David George

Mark: I do hope I get the data sheet quicker than you did. I just want to see

how the Daylight saving time flags are set in the chip (and I guess in the

clock driver too). Seems that this beastie knows all about DST. But in this
|
|
little valley where I live, we don't. We are on the boundry between MST and PST
|
|
and rather than change our watches, we just hire a guy to more the sign
|
|
advising travellers to change their watches from one end of the valley to the
|
|
other.
|
|
|
|
So, I'd like to unset the flag in my clock so that I don't have to redo the
|
|
time every six months -- not a big deal, but fun.
|
|
|
|
BTW, I asked Motorola for their RTC data sheet, but they were out of stock. (I
|
|
called them first since they have an 800 number...) They did have some in Hong

Kong and Holland, and promised to order one from there and mail it to me when

it arrived. Wonder how long that'll be?
