Bill, I need your help again :-). I have connected my pc to the MM/1 via the
|
|
/T1 port. I have been able to setup mstmon and had no problems. I have also
|
|
been able to run Terminal on the MM/1 and Telex on the pc and send files from
|
|
the MM/1 to the clone at upto 19200 baud. My problem comes when I try to send
|
|
files from the clone to the MM/1. I have raised the input and output buffers to
|
|
8192. Any ideas why I can't send from the clone but I can from the MM/1?
|
|
|
|
Thanks Keith

Keith,
|

What kind of problems are you having? I send and receive files on /T1 from a
|
|
CoCo at 9600 baud, and on /T0 via a modem from a PC at work, and the only
|
|
problems I have are with the CoCo. Are you using a protocol transfer, like
|
|
xmodem?

Bill,

I can't transfer a file from the clone to the MM/1. I keep getting errors and
|
|
it finally stops sending. I have tried using xydown, and rz (modified to use
|
|
t1) as well as using Terminal and it's built in xmodem, xmodem-1k, and Ymodem
|
|
batch. I have the port set for 19200 and the buffers set to 8192. I was also
|
|
having the problem at 9600 baud. Now that I think about it my buffers were
|
|
smaller when I tried it at 9600 so I will try it some more at that speed.

While we're on serial problems...
|
|
|
|
I was here last night on another forum doing a capture of a library directory.
|
|
I signed on at 9600 with a LAP-M connection. I am using /t3 with TYPE=80 in the
|
|
desc. (which should enable hardware handshaking), plus I have my buffers set to
|
|
4K for in/output.
|
|
|
|
Now, when I was reading the directory I got a repeating sequence of some 20 or
|
|
so lines. I was doing a disk capture at the same time.
|
|
|
|
So, who's screwing up? Is the serial driver buggy in telling the modem to wait?
|
|
Or is the modem confused (remember, it is doing error correction)? Or is CIS?
|
|
Darned if I know...I logged off and tried again at 2400 and it worked fine.
|
|
|
|
I suspect there is a problem with the MM/1 screen not being fast enuf and
|
|
something with the DMA to the HD. Paul Ward told me that there was something
|
|
one could do with the size of packets being written to the HD--but he couldn't
|
|
remember what it was <grin>.

Bob,

|
|
|
Were you using Sterm? That's symptomatic of a read error of some kind (the
|
|
repeating data), and is actually a bug in Sterm, although at least one byte
|
|
would have been lost, in any case.
|
|
|
|
There is a chance that the DMA to the HD was causing problems. Carl explained
|
|
this to me once, theoretically decreasing the size of the chunk of data sent to
|
|
the HD might improve the situation, but would slow down the data transfer rate
|
|
to the HD significantly.
|
|
|
|
In InfoXpress I do all my own software flow control, and rarely, if ever, have
|
|
any problems. But I send a ^S before writing to disk, then a ^Q to get things
|
|
going again, which I guess would help avoid the problem.
|
|
|
|
I've also noticed that when doing large zmodem transfers, that if there is any
|
|
other disk activity, like from another window, that I get an occasional 244
|
|
error.

Yup, I'm using sterm. Most times it's all I need; and I can get it to work too.
|
|
I look forward to seeing InfoXpress (I'm just disappointed that you didn't ask
|
|
me to beta test <grin>).
|
|
|
|
Speaking of strangness and lost bits...(nothing to do with sterm) if I have a
|
|
lot of scsi activity (like formatting/verifying a HD) I get real strange
|
|
responses on my keyboard. Again, could be that chuck size problem. Frankly, I'd
|
|
give up a touch of speed (after all, this guy is pretty fast as is) for a bit
|
|
more on the reliablity side of the equation.

I use Sterm all the time too, even when I could be using InfoXpress :-)
|

I get strange responses on my keyboard too, like "automatmic" window switching,
|

and characters being generated when I'm pressing arrow keys. This is
|
|
particularly bad when I'm doing a lot of editing, and typing fast, while

something like a compile is going on in another window. Maybe we can find

|
|
|

There is a bug is Sterm that causes the repeated lines when the receive buffer
|
|
overflows. The cause in Bob's case was he was probably capturing files to the
|
|
disk and the data was being displayed on the screen at the same time. If you
|
|
do this at 9600 baud, the MM/1 screen will eventually fall behind and the
|
|
buffer will overflow. Increasing the size of the receive buffers only
|
|
increases the time it takes to happen--but it eventually will.
|
|
|
|
The solution is to not display anything on the screen while doing a capture.
|
|
This has been included in the Sterm-Pro code. I'm also looking into how to
|
|
make the screen printing faster, but haven't succeeded. For now, it is best to
|
|
download the file instead of capturing it if you can. If you must do a
|
|
capture, then breaking it up into smaller chunks will help. Of course, the
|
|
BEST method is to get IX (grin).

It's the screen that's falling on itself. Mark's added a switch in StermPro

The problem is the MM/1 screen scrolling can't keep up at 9600 baud with Sterm.
|
|
Ed Gresick tells me he has an assembly language term program that has no
|
|
problem with his Sys IV in this area, but Sterm does. I have looked at the
|
|
Sterm code to see where I could speed things up, but haven't come up with
|
|
anything yet. In the mean time, I've set Sterm up so if you are doing a
|
|
capture at 9600 baud, it will ask you if you want to have it displayed on the
|
|
screen also. Actually, I can't see the need for the screen display since you
|
|
can't read it anyway. If you'd like a copy of this version of Sterm, contact
|
|
Ed. The one I'm using is Sterm-Pro, and it's not near ready to be given out
|
|
even as an alpha copy.

Mark,
|
|
|
|
I just had a look at the STERM source. I guess a few things could be done...let
|
|
me know if you tried either (in which case I won't):
|
|
|
|
1. Right now you are writing to the screen as soon as you get 10 characters in
|
|
your buffer. If this was increased it would cut down considerably on the
|
|
overhead involved in system calls. I'd look at increasing the buffer to a full
|
|
line (or more?) and print it whenever the modem doen't have something, it is
|
|
full or if a CR is received.
|
|
|
|
2. What about sending an xon/off sequence before/after the screen writes (esp.
|
|
if you increase the buffer size). Hmmm, maybe this would just add too much
|
|
overhead? Probably. Maybe just if you have a full buffer to print?
|
|
|
|
3. Finally, what about checking the number of characters ready from the modem.
|
|
If there are a large number (and a disk capture is being done) you could just
|
|
dump a whole packet to the disk and not bother to display it. I don't like
|
|
this...but I'd rather have gaps in the stuff scrolling by than gaps in the
|
|
stuff in the disk file.
|
|
|
|
The problem with turning off screen display is: how do you know when to turn it
|
|
back on? After listing a file or whatever you get a prompt--and with the screen
|
|
display off....
|
|
|
|
I can't see how changing anything to asm. would make a marked difference in
|
|
thoughput.
|
|
|
|
The problem with doing testing from this end is getting something else to dump
|
|
data to my screen fast enuf. Hmmm, I suppose I could hook up a null modem to my
|
|
coco or something and see.

Keith, to solve the problem with the last line not scrolling change the
|
|
definition of of 'sf' in your termcap entry from \015 to \012 ($0d to $0a). Ved
|
|
1.x used Writeln() to do its screen stuff. This caused some problems, so we now
|
|
use Write(). If you had $0d as sf it got translated to $0a in 1.x. Doesn't work
|
|
now. BTW, there is a good termcap entry for the mm/1 in the file
|
|
docs/termcap.txt on the dist. disk.
|
|
|
|
And for those of you who already have recieved your Ved 2.0 update...a chapter
|
|
was left out of the manual (Spellcheck). It is now in the mail to you.

Thanks for the Quantum numbers. Unfortunately, they no longer support the
|
|
800-367-1984 number. They have another 800 number (624-5545) but they do no
|
|
customer support from it. To get assistance you can call 900-740-4433. This
|
|
costs $5.00 PER call. Or you can call them "free" at 408-944-0410.
|
|
|
|
I called them earlier today and they agreed to replace my drive under warnt.
|
|
However, I didn't have the serial number...so I asked if I could just send that
|
|
to them in the MAIL and they could MAIL me the RMA number. The fellow at the
|
|
other end just didn't know what to do with a crazy request like that, it
|
|
suggested I could fax it. Guess I'll spend some more grocery money on another
|
|
call.
|
|
|
|
BTW, Maxtor have a very good customer support service and excellent return
|
|
policy...they send out the new drive and when you get it, then you return the
|
|
defective one. Guess which drive I'd buy today? Mind you, Quantum do seem to be
|
|
a bit quieter and a tad faster...

I've just uploaded a file to patch the "rma" supplied with the CoCo Level 2
|
|
Development Pak. It adds support for the 6309 CPU. The file is in Lib 3
|
|
(Languages), the name is "rmapat.ar". You will need "ar" and "ipatch" along
|
|
with the stock version of "rma". I did not include a patch to c.asm for those
|
|
not having "rma". One addition I did make to the program is the ability to
|
|
create edition 0 ROF's so that one could create public library files
|
|
(c.link-compatible).
|
|
One note: I have just now completed the project and there may possibly be
|
|
bugs. Be watchful for a while. There may be a few bugs in the old 6309 codes
|

also, as I had to change some of the data types to allow for the 32-bit stuff.

I'd appreciate anyone who is interested to download it and test it out.

Hi! At long last I've got a computer set up at my new apartment here in
|
|
Denver, and will be able to log in every night again.
|
|
|
|
I'll also finally be able to send out replies and disks ... that came just
|
|
before I moved a couple of months ago. Apologies for the delay!
|
|
|
|
Gee, it's good to have a system at home again!!!

Hi Ben,
|
|
|
|
My home number is 303-798-9056. I'm usually here by 8pm Mountain time, and up
|
|
until about 11pm. Much shorter hours than before <sigh>.
|
|
|
|
Work, work, work :-)
|
|
|
|
You'd like the system we're building at work: dual 68040 machines, each with
|
|
an additional four 68000's to handle comms with a couple of hundred 68000-based
|
|
gaming terminals (each terminal uses a 34010 for gfx).
|
|
|
|
The 68040's are running OS-9... might later have the terminals do so as well.
|
|
|
|
I left North Carolina in such a rush that I forget to send you that SWTPC box,
|
|
of course. But I'll be back there in a few weeks for a short time, and I'll
|
|
grab it then. cheers - kev

Hi Mark... Sounds neat! I'm very interested, but I'm a bit broke this month and
|
|
probably next (holidays, car insurance, etc.). Are these going to be available
|
|
a couple months from now? I want one! Sounds like a great solution to the hard
|
|
drive backup quandry - to do it on floppies takes FOREVER!
|
|
BTW - How much do floptical diskettes cost (roughly)?

SUre, they'll be available for as long as I can find them. The disks cost
|
|
about $25.

Mark,
|
|
|
|
I had thought that the floptical might be better than a tape drive, but at $25
|
|
a disk, that works out to a lot of money for backing up a big hard drive. I'm
|
|
planning on getting a bigger HD for my MM/1, currently I have only 48M, and its
|
|
just not enough. I get tired of feeding floppies now, when backing up the 48M,
|
|
I can't imagine what it will be like when I get a 200M HD. So I also plan on
|
|
getting a tape drive (and maybe a floptical :-) for backup at the same time I
|
|
get the new drive.
|
|
|
|
I'm also planning on moving the 48M over to the CoCo, have you heard anything
|
|
about the Ken-Ton SCSI interface for the CoCo?

No, sorry. I never kept up on the SCSI device systems for the CoCo. I know
|
|
that several people have it and like it.

Hi Mark... I was thinking - will you sell the drivers separately? I'm in
|
|
Vancouver, Canada. I've found that I can buy hardware locally as cheap or
|
|
cheaper than buying from the US and paying exchange on the money, duty, taxes,
|
|
etc. I've seen at least one company here in town advertising the drives - they
|
|
want too much, but if they have it, other companies will too, and for better
|
|
prices.

Greetings,
|
|
I'm trying to find a way to connect several 68k based OS9 racks
|
|
together in some sort of sane fashion so I can send messages between them. The
|
|
comms medium is high speed point to point parallel links. Anybody got any ideas
|
|
of how I might do this other than using NFM??
|
|
|
|
In addition does anybody have any comments on Microwares support services eg
|
|
driver writing etc?
|
|
|
|
All responses gratefully appreciated
|
|
Nick Terry (UK).

Hello Nick
|
|
|
|
I have NFM running on top of Microware's ISP(tcp/ip) and it runs concurrent
|
|
wihout problems. The nice thing about using NFM is that it enables you to use
|
|
'pipes' and 'i/o-devices' on the other systems, so it is easy to do
|
|
task-communication between systems.
|
|
|
|
The device-driver-writters at Microware is quite good at their jobs, but they
|
|
are human-people like you and me, so the make 'bugs' also, but they have the
|
|
advantage that they can talk to 'inhouse knowledge' about all kinds(kernel and
|
|
filemanagers). So in general I feel that the are doing a nice service. My
|
|
company (danelec electronics) has been an OEM customer for 6 years now, and
|
|
always felt that somebody worked for us, if we had problems.
|
|
|
|
regards ole b. hansen ole@danelec.dk
