Bob, only by proc of elimination. The inst manual is for both 40/80 meg
|
|
drives. It mentions nrs 25-4159 and 25-4160 and 25-4160-A. The 40-meg drive I
|
|
got is 25-4159 on the sales slip. Maybe the 25-4160-A is the 202(?) I saw the
|
|
thing on the counter listing at the Tandy Warehouse outlet, but I dont remember
|
|
the article number for the 202.. wait a min - got a driveer disk too lemme fire
|

up the messydos machine and look for a readme file ----- nope, just a couple

Tom,
|
|
I own a system IV and have for over two years. The machine has provided
|
|
flawless operation. CDS and Delmar have released the X20 which is a 68020 25Mhz
|
|
system with 16 bit AT compatible slots. This enables one to use VGA cards of
|
|
those used on IBM systems. THIS IS A GREAT SYSTEM. As far as software, there
|
|
are some great editors spreadsheets, and database programs, but nothing like
|
|
the selection from IBM, obviously.

The article said more about the speed of os968000 when compairing Basic09 to
|
|
oskbasic. and when running 'Gwindows on a System IV with a video card Gwindows
|
|
is so slow , that it has trouble keeping up with similar operations done in
|
|
"MultiVue" in Level -" even though it is signifcantly more powerful than any of
|
|
its competitors.and even though he is trying to say that we as a computing
|
|
force (OS9 and OSK) need to be more productive together than try to fight each
|
|
other over whos system is better or faster and we need to get software support
|
|
for eachother rather than having to write our own to meet needs.Also stated is
|
|
that os9 might stay unmatured and reminds us that most os9 terminals have no
|
|
graphic support.I feel that the support is there because os9 users are fairly
|
|
close knit and recognize that we can not directly compete with the likes of
|
|
MSDOS AND MAC but then again why go with the second best when you have the
|
|
best.

I don't have the man files themselves changed over to OSK versions yet, but I
|
|
do have the program working, just using the CoCo man files. If you still want
|
|
it, I'll upload it in zero for you, but no man pages. If you want the man

pages, I'll have to send you a disk.

Sb: #MM/1 floppy driver
|
|
Fm: Carl Kreider 71076,76
|
|
To: all
|
|
|
|
I just solved a nagging 'problem' with the MM/1 floppy driver. In some
|
|
cases, a timeout on an access to an empty drive would prevent access to
|
|
any drive until reset.
|
|
|
|
From my distributed documentation:
|
|
> Currently there are only two valid choices for PD_Trys, 0 and 1, with the
|
|
> same meanings as in section B-2.
|
|
|
|
Perhaps some of you didn't get this file, perhaps you didn't get the
|
|
descriptors I provided, perhaps you think you know better. In any case,
|
|
take the above as gospel. It will fix the 'problem'.
|
|
|
|
For the techies, this is because the new MW convention is to treat the
|
|
pd_trys field as a bit field. If it is 0, the default pattern (0xb6) is
|
|
used. If it is 1, retry is disabled. Otherwise, it is a user specified
|
|
bit pattern. In C, the algorithm looks like this:
|
|
|
|
if ((x = pd_trys) == 0)
|
|
x = 0xb6;
|
|
do {
|
|
if (disk_op() == OK)
|
|
break;
|
|
|
|
if ((x & 1) == 0)
|
|
restore();
|
|
} while ((x >> 1) != 0);
|
|
|
|
The shift is actually done first so that it will not restore on values
|
|
for pd_trys of 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, or 255. Without a restore, it
|
|
will never recover from the error.

I'm assuming that you mean trys=0 or trys=1 in dmode for this parameter?

Here it is...
|
|
|
|
Steps 5 - 7 of the Puppo Interface Installation procedure.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
5. Connect the black wire with the alligator clip to the nearest ground on
|
|
the CoCo circuit board. A good place for this is on the spring connector that
|
|
touches the bottom of the built-in keyboard.
|
|
|
|
6. Connect the red wire with the alligator clip to the cathode (the side with
|
|
the band) of D1. This diode can be found on the circuit board near the
|
|
transformer cage.
|
|
|
|
7. Connect the white wire with the clip connector to the RESET* line of the
|
|
6809 CPU. A good place on the CoCo 3 circuit board is the anode (the side
|
|
without the band) of D12, which is located in the upper right of the board just
|
|
below the reset switch.
|
|
|
|

Btw... I know I asked this a long while back when you didn't have one, but do

you have a collective catalog of all your products yet? I'm

interested in all you got, and also any 6809 software/hardware you may be

selling<but the osk stuff too is also of a lot of interest>.

Also, I was looking in some of the OS9 material Microware sent me<all those

|
reading materials for free. Good Deal!> and I noticed they had
|
|
OS-9 running X-windows/Motif. There any chance of seeing that happen with the
|
|
KMA machines currently available. I'll bet the 68070 machine
|
|
won't handle it so I'm more interested in whether or not the Kix could do it.
|
|
I talked to my regional microware dealer on the phone and brought it up and
|
|
when I brought up the KMA machines<which he really didn't sound iterested in
|
|
when I brought them up>, he said they couldn 't handle X-windows. They tend to
|
|
deal more with the BIG boy machines anyway<mainframes> so it doesn't suprise
|
|
me, but I imagine the size
|
|
of x-windows<I hear it's pretty big anyway. never used it myself but it looked
|
|
nice in the picture>, and plus the cost is what got you to
|
|
go with K and possibly G-windows. Am I correct?

To: ALL
|
|
|
|
Greetings all.
|
|
I am a relatively new programmer in the C language and I have recently hit a
|
|
snag in a program that I am trying to write. Ultimate purpose of the program
|
|
is to print out a nicely formatted monthly calender using a CoCo 3 and OS9
|
|
Level 2.
|
|
|
|
I just tried to add code to the program that is supposed to extract the current
|
|
month and year from the system clock using the getime() function as defined in
|
|
the MicroWare and Carl Krieder C libraries for OS9 LII.
|
|
|
|
I am using the standard time.h file that defines the following structure:
|
|
|
|
struct sgtbuf {
|
|
char t_year,
|
|
t_month,
|
|
t_day,
|
|
t_hour,
|
|
t_minute,
|
|
t_second;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
The section of code from my program is as follows:
|
|
|
|
#include <time.h>
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
main()
|
|
{
|
|
int month,year;
|
|
struct sgtbuf *timeinfo;
|
|
|
|
getime(timeinfo);
|
|
|
|
month = timeinfo.t_month;
|
|
year = timeinfo.t_year;
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
When compiled, this give "undeclared variable" and "struct member required"
|
|
errors for the timeinfo.t_month and timeinfo.t_year statements.
|
|
If I follow the example from the manual I have for the Krieder library and
|
|
declare timeinfo as follows:
|
|
|
|
struct sgtbuf timeinfo;
|
|
|
|
I get the further error "cannot evaluate size".
|
|
|
|
Can any of you folks tell me what I am doing wrong and how to fix the problem.
|
|
Like I say, I am relatively new to C and I have had no formal training in the
|
|
language. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

To: Jon Beach 70004,1607 (X)

Jon,
|
|
Ok, first your declaration, 'struct sgtbuf *timeinfo;' , declares a
|
|
pointer to a structure (which is not what you really want--more on this la
|
|
later To access a structure element via a pointer you use the '->'
|
|
dereferencing opperator not the period. Thus you should use 'month =
|
|
timeinfo->t_month' not 'month = timeinfo.t_month'. This is the source of your
|
|
compiler errors, the compiler is looking for a structure named timeinfo whereas
|
|
you declared a structure pointer.
|
|
Anyway, when a structure pointer is declared the compiler only sets aside
|
|
memory for a pointer, it does not set aside memory for the structure.
|
|
Furthermore, until it is initialized it will contain garbage. If you call
|
|
gettime() with an unitialized pointer, gettime will store the structure data at
|
|
some random point in memory--a very dangerous proposition.
|
|
So, you want to declare a structure as in the Kreider example. This will
|
|
set aside variable memory large enough to receive the data from gettime(). But
|

gettime() expects a pointer to the structure as a parameter, not the structure
|
|
itself (which C won't let you do anyway--the source of your second compiler
|
|
error). The way to generate a pointer to a variable is to use the '&'
|
|
referencing opperator. Thus use 'gettime( &timeinfo );' to call the function.
|
|
If this business of pointers is making your head spin, be reassured
|
|
pointers give most everybody fits at first. They're neat once you catch on to
|
|
them though--they're the source of much of the power and flexibility of C.

When you change the scrolling region with cs, only E SC sequences that will
|
|
normally scroll the screen are effected. I have a lot of info on termcap
|
|
(especially in the Unix world). I can lookup the ESC sequences that will obey
|
|
the new scrolling region if you need them. From memory I have Del line, Ins
|
|
line, Cursor down. If you del line within the scrolling region all of the lines
|
|
from the cursor to the bottom of the scrolling region will move up deleting the
|
|
line that the cursor is on.
|
|
|
|
BTW, I am preparing a file now that has all of the AT&T termcap codes
|
|
(includeing the ones that only came about to mimic the new terminfo sequences).
|
|
With these extended sequences we will have the standard Termcap codes that
|
|
Microware didn't tell us about.

David, thanks for the help with 'cs'. I finally have it working properly with
|
|
my VED editor. I was real confused for awhile--I had the arguments backwards.
|
|
To send the sequence you do (assuming that CS is the ptr to the 'cs' string):
|
|
|
|
putpad(tgoto(CS,number_of_lines,top_line));
|
|
|
|
Sending a LF at the bottom line will cause scrolling to occur in the region.
|
|
|
|
Are you going to post your termcap info? I have the O'Reilly book as a
|
|
reference and it seems quite complete.
|
|
|
|
The only problem supporting this on the MM/1 and VT100 is that to simulate this
|
|
with Kwindows you need to do a CWAREA(topline,0,numlines,ncols). I was going to
|
|
be tricky and define a 'cs' for kwindows. But it won't work--you have to send
|
|
binary 0's for the top line and left column...and ya can't send a NULL in a
|
|
termcap string <g>. So I end up with two routines.

Hi Stephen... Tried out your sound utilities - VERY nice! Can't wait for
|
|
Soundworks. Has anyone else complained about hissy recording? I think it must
|
|
be my hardware. The source is clean as can be (good equipment), but I think
|
|
something in my MM/1 is adding the hiss.
|
|
Have you considered doing a sampler with MIDI I/O (hard and software) using
|
|
the MM/1 as an engine (like SampleCell for the Mac)? I know there's virtually
|
|
no market, but I'd be willing to pay $500-$1000 for something at the "semi-pro"
|
|
level.
|
|
Another idea I've been thinking of is a wave-sequence type synth like Korg's
|
|
01/W Wavestation, but again using the MM/1 as the engine.
|
|
The trouble with all these great ideas are that there's virtually zero market
|
|
for them - how many MM/1 users are musicians and use MIDI and are willing to
|
|
spend money on it? Not too many, probably... Sigh...

Sad to say but the release of SoundWorks will be delayed about a month or so.
|
|
Work 50-60 hrs. a week for other people GETS in the way of my work. %-( but I
|
|
should have most of this month to work on it. To get back into things with the
|
|
MM/1 I'm going to spiff up MPLAY a little by completeing the converter by
|
|
adding the CT-VOC format support.
|
|
|
|
About HISS. For most of my testing I use a portable CD player or tape deck.
|
|
The input levels are lower than expected by the MM/1 audio port because the
|
|
port is expecting -2.5V to +2.5V (or 5V pp) input. Best thing to do is use a
|
|
short shielded cable. At one time I built a little op-amp circuit to boost up
|
|
audio output of a stereo tape deck... What I really should do is set down and
|
|
build a audio BOX for the MM/1. You know, nothing real fancy but with
|
|
filtering and level matching with an indicator of some type.
|
|
|
|
I doubt that the MM/1 audio port has any filter? Anyone?
|
|
|
|
I've considered many possibilities for audio applications using the MM/1 as the
|
|
engine but FUNDING to develop all this neat-o software has to come from
|
|
somewhere. I've been told that if a full package of audio processing goodies
|
|
were develop for UNIX that such would be marketable at $20,000 to $30,000, GET
|
|
REAL %-).
|
|
|
|
I think the MM/1 will be limited in attraction for serious users because of the
|
|
audio resolution but attractable in price to home/amateur/student/... users. I
|
|
may be wrong? If you interested in a collaboration of some sort I'd be
|
|
interested.

Sure.. there are kermits available for 6809 and 68000 versions of os9 here -

free (well, less connect time).

To see them, go to any library (7 is probably best) by typing DL7 [enter].

|
|
customers). I dont like doing this, but due to a recent conversation I felt it
|
|
was the best thing I could do for MY PAID Subscribers. This is not a spur of
|
|
the moment decision, but one that has been festering in my mind for some time
|

|
to dissolve this agreement.

Dear OS9 Underground Subscribers...

|
|
|
As you all know, the Sept/Oct Issue has been delayed due to various reasons...
|
|
these problems have now been solved and this long-awaited issue will be out
|
|
within a week. Future issue will be back on track as far as turn-around time

(again).
|

There is an article in the In July issue(Communications Issue) that needs, I
|
|
feel, immediate clarification. This is the artcle, The King is Mad, by Paul
|
|
Pollock to make clear is that Paul Pollocks comments are HIS and his alone and
|
|
not those of the OS9 Underground. Pauls article was erroneously listed in the
|
|
table of contents as an editorial (It should have stated, One mans opinion).
|
|
This error was my fault, and I apologize for this to my readers and
|
|
advertisers. Especially to Mr. Gresick.

Jim,

The problem may be that these file were archived using lha and not lharc. Look
|
|
in the darabase for the latest version of lha and download it. That should fix
|
|
your problem. I was able to download and decompress both of the files you
|
|
mention with lha.
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure exactly what the differences are, but lha is becoming the standard
|
|
since it has been ported to UNIX and DOS as well, and it is very good at
|
|
compressing files.

Sorry you nabbed the incorrect file. If you'll take a look at AR09.BIN in
