(bbs'es mainly, but I complain to my local sysop all the time <g>) if I hadn't

MM/1 GWindows
|
|
From: JOELHEGBERG To: ALL
|
|
|
|
After sitting back and analyzing the FHL G-Windows offer made
|
|
recently, I would like to make a few comments and see how other MM/1
|
|
owners view the situation.
|
|
|
|
I'm very leary of the FHL G-Windows MM/1 port offer for several
|
|
reasons. First, one night it's unsupported, the next night it's
|
|
supported. Frank Hogg is a great guy (really), but the question of
|
|
support from FHL is a serious one. Going from unsupported to supported
|
|
on the fly like that doesn't give me additional confidence in his
|
|
version of the G-Windows port. FHL doesn't seem to give out the latest
|
|
versions of software (G-Windows edition 37, OSK V2.3, etc.). I'm not
|
|
sure I believe I will always have an up-to-date port of G-Windows
|
|
throughout the support timeframe. On the other hand, I've heard many
|
|
stories of how Delmar provides timely updates to their customers.
|
|
|
|
Second, look at the TC-9 and TC-70 computers. They are no longer
|
|
being built. From what I hear, the TC-70 came with OSK V2.3 and I'm not
|
|
sure what kind of support is being given to those owners. Is FHL
|
|
providing an update to version 2.4? In any case, Delmar's System IV and
|
|
System V computers are still being sold and supported. Ed Gresick (of
|
|
Delmar) is available at all CoCoFests I've been to, while FHL is not a
|
|
regular attender. I like Delmar's accessibility.
|
|
|
|
Third, I don't recall the name of the person FHL is putting in
|
|
charge of it's MM/1 G-Windows port... in fact, his name didn't ring a
|
|
bell in my mind when I read it. He very well may be a good programmer,
|
|
but I don't recall seeing anything else done by that person. Who is he?
|
|
Will he be at CoCoFests? Does he have the technical skills to keep
|
|
G-Windows for MM/1 up to date? One thing I do know is Ed Gresick has
|
|
successfully ported G-Windows over to his System computers, and even to
|
|
OS-9000. From what I hear, though, "successfully" is an understatement,
|
|
as Ed uses assembly-language optimization and graphics chip features to
|
|
increase the efficiency of the port. I doubt the programmer for FHL
|
|
MM/1 G-Windows has this type of experience.
|
|
|
|
For these reasons, I'm staying solidly behind the Delmar G-Windows
|
|
MM/1 port offer. I honestly believe it's the port MM/1 owners would be
|
|
most happy with, and would get the best value from. I want to emphasize
|
|
that I am not against Frank Hogg, but rather I've seen and heard some
|
|
problems with their "supported" products.
|
|
|
|
I would like to hear comments on how other MM/1 owners feel who have
|
|
been awaiting a G-Windows port.

Hi Joel (and All);

I will stand firmly behind Ed (DELMAR) on this one, mostly for the same .

reasons. But, this in NO way is against Frank (FHL).

|
|
From: EDELMAR To: ALL
|
|
|
|
It's a shame Frank Hogg can't stick to facts and performance and has to
|
|
resort to theatrics, hysterics and rhetoric. He totally ignores his lies
|
|
re the SYSTEM V. He does not deny his hardware uses OSK Version 2.3 vs
|
|
Version 2.4 nor his use of an obselete version of G-WINDOWS. Further, he
|
|
does not indicate any intent to upgrade his systems to current versions.
|
|
Since he isn't supporting his products with upgrades, one can only wonder
|
|
what kind of on-going support he will provide to software effecting a
|
|
competitor's product.
|
|
|
|
I think it's sufficient to say that my work has been subject to public
|
|
scrutiny at 3 different shows; i.e., Chicago, San Diego and Atlanta.
|
|
At the Atlanta show, several visitors did request verification of the
|
|
test results I claimed here and in my advertising. I was able to do
|
|
this and subtantiated my claims. In fact, the benchmark tests results
|
|
were slightly better than I claim in my advertising. At the San Diego
|
|
show and the Atlanta show, comments were made comparing the performance
|
|
of the SYSTEM V/G-WINDOWS favorably with SUN work-stations. To my knowledge,
|
|
Hazelwood/FHL's work has never been shown publicly and their claims have
|
|
never been verified. Further, FHL's claim of the fastest G-WINDOWS port
|
|
under OS-9 is false. There are at least 2 other ports from other OEM's that
|
|
have performance far superior to that claimed by FHL. The burden of proof
|
|
of his claims is on FHL. IMO, all other claims and statements from Frank
|
|
Hogg should be taken in the same context.

From: EMTWO To: EDELMAR

|
|
To Ed and Frank..
|
|
I"m not concerned with claims, hot dogging, or theatrics. What I am
|
|
concerned with is wisely spending my money. FHL has been approached
|
|
repeatedly in the past about a port of GWindows for the MM/1. Up until
|
|
very recently, FHL has shown no interest in such a port.
|
|
Now he does. If he had decided to do this at this time last year, I would
|
|
probably be running a FHL version of GWindows today. As for which would be
|
|
faster, there is a very simple way to find out. Simply SEND BOTH VERSIONS
|
|
to Mark GRiffith. He is not currently involved in the development of
|
|
either version, he has in depth knowledge of the MM/1 and MM/1a computers,
|
|
and is held in high regard by everyone in the community.

Paul,

|
|
|
|
I totally agree. That's what the debate should be about.
|
|
|
|
> would be faster, there is a very simple way to find out. Simply SEND BOTH
|

|
|
|
|
I agree again, that Mark Griffith would be the person to send both
|
|
versions to if speed were the issue (and if both versions were available
|
|
for testing). Still, although I have more faith in Ed Gresick's
|
|
assembly optimization experience (so I would think the Delmar port would
|
|
be slightly faster), I doubt there will be any noticeable difference
|
|
that would make or break one's decision to buy G-Windows from FHL or
|
|
Delmar. The problem I have is with the "support" that FHL may (or may
|
|
not) provide us with. After posting my message, quite a few people have
|
|
written to me regarding FHL "horror stories". The stories are not about
|
|
the quality of FHL products (Frank has tremendous experience in building
|
|
and designing computer systems), but rather with the support they
|
|
receive after purchase, and the outdated software they receive with
|
|
their purchase.
|
|
|
|
As this is a software/support issue, I definitely have to back the
|
|
Delmar G-Windows port.

|

|
|
At San Diego this year ('93) the System V (68020-25mhz) running G-Windows
|
|
that Ed loaned the San Diego OS9UG was perceived by show visitors (and some
|
|
participants!) to be noticeably faster than the '486's running Windows in
|
|
the Micrsoft booth about 30 feet away. At least one visitor to the booth
|
|
thought the machine was a SUN workstation.
|
|
|
|
I am not claiming that the System IV is faster than a '486 clone but the
|
|
combination of Ed'd port of G-Windows with the System IV did _appear_ faster
|
|
to people visiting the booth.

In the computer world most standards committees are working on standards based
|
|
on what will be possible in the near future. SCSI-2 is one example. The buss
|
|
was designed, prototyped and turned over to a committee to write up all of the
|
|
standards. The whole idea is to keep manufacturers from floundering around
|
|
blindly creating computers or ancillary components that will not work with the
|
|
other subsystems which are either in design, prototyping or production. In a
|
|
market that is updating approximately every 18 months this is a necessity. I
|
|
venture to guess most products (like cars) do not get full revamps that fast.

BTW, Sears no longer has a catalog. It is due to their ceasing to print a

approximately 85% of our gross sales in our division. The decision to phase

out the Chicago Manufacturing Division Of RR Donnelley & Sons was due directly

to Sears' decision to drop their catalog. The last catalog as produced in

March and 75% of our personel were laid off. The rest of us will be laid off

|

The 640x480 mode on the VSC is an interlace mode... The basic modes that woul
|
|
work on a VGA (31kHz) monitor have resolutions of 160x480x256, and 320x480x16.
|
|
Not really usefull modes... So, any GWindows port for an MM/1 will probably
|
|
be using the 640x480x16 interlaced mode (or more likely the wider 740 width
|
|
overscaned mode, to get maximumm pixel space)

You can use use type 7 screen (which is 768x480) and use it just like

any other screen under K-Windows, including overlapping windows. It's

There is a file on the Ocean Beach BBS (619- 224-4878) describing how
|
|
to enable CTS/RTS handshaking. (I believe it is called something like
|
|
t3fix.ar.) However, I think you have covered most of the steps:
|
|
xmode type=80, and strap RTS/DTR toggled (P4 pins 1-2 and 5-6 strapped;
|
|
3|4 and 7|8 unstrapped) and DTE mode (1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12
|
|
strapped).
|
|
|
|
Set the modem to H/W handshaking -- I guess your modem uses AT&K3 for
|
|
this. Mine uses AT\Q3.
|
|
|
|
You mentioned that you are setting your MM/1 port to 19200. High speed
|
|
modems have a nice feature where you can lock the modem-computer speed
|
|
to a fixed value, regardless of the "CONNECT" rate. However, both the
|
|
modem and telecom program need to be set up (co-ordinated) to make this
|
|
work. For my modem, it is called the "BPS rate adjust" feature, and
|
|
AT\J0 tells the modem to lock the computer-side rate, regardless of the
|
|
connection speed. (AT\J1 tells the modem to change the computer-side
|
|
to the same speed as the connection.) Your modem may already be set up
|
|
to lock the computer connection speed (AT\J0 for mine; yours will probably
|
|
be different.) For OSTerm 68K to work properly with this setup, you will
|
|
need to tell it to lock the baud rate as well (rather than autobauding),
|
|
otherwise after connection, the modem will be communicating at 19200,
|
|
and your computer will be listening at 2400, due to the "CONNECT 2400"
|
|
message received. There should be a readme
|
|
file on your distribution disk describing the FIXEDBAUD environment
|
|
variable temporarily used for this purpose in the Alpha release of OSTerm 68K.
|
|
("setenv FIXEDBAUD whatever"). In the upcoming release this will be
|
|
handled in the osterm.config file, with entries like:
|
|
PORT = /t0, 2400
|
|
PORT = /t3, 9600, LOCKED
|
|
OSTerm will match the entry for the current port, and set up accordingly.
|
|
|
|
You will also want to go through your IX "*.ini" files and change the
|
|
baud rates listed to 19200.
|
|
|
|
This may help with your "connect, but no response" results with AT&K3.
|
|
|
|
Good luck, and keep us posted.

Hi, Randy -

|
|
|
|
Just thought I would follow up and fill in the missing info <g>.
|
|
|
|
TasCOM did have a problem "mangling the type byte", which caused problems
|
|
using x/ymodem transfers, especially with hardware handshaking.
|
|
|
|
This was one of the first fixes made when we upgraded it to OSTerm 68K.
|
|
|

Cheers... / Ken

I think this has been my problem. The first set of four were set just the
|
|
opposite of the way you have them. I switched them and I was able to
|

upload to the bbs! Now if I knew were to find out more about what those

settings mean....

The other possibility is an outdated driver. My sc68681 is ed# 29, not
|
|
> guarranteed to bethe latest. It works. (and I probably out to go back and
|
|
> see if you alreadyposted this info :).
|
|
|
|
I believe the latest and greated of the sc68681 is edition 32 and can be found
|
|
in CompuServe's OS9 Forum. That's where Carl's been making his updates
|
|
available.
|
|
|
|
Something else to check is the input/output buffer sizes of /t3. These can
|
|
be modified with moded (so long as you have the moded.fields file that came
|
|
with the updated drivers). I've got mine set to 2048.

That's the current edition of the driver so you're in good shape there.
|
|
You've got something weird with the hardware handshaking settings ... perhaps
|
|
on the paddle board itself. There are jumpers that can be set to control
|
|
the handling of RTS/CTS ... whether to keep 'em high all the time, or let
|
|
them float. You need the later for proper operation. How are they set?
|
|
|
|
> Do you have different INIT strings for IX and your term program?
|
|
|
|
I'm not using anything special in my init string with IX. All that's there
|
|
is atmx4^m . I'm using the factory defaults for the modem's parameters which
|
|
includes the &K3 setting for hardware handshaking.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm betting it's the jumpers on your paddle board. Let us know what you find.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Hope this helps!

Edit
|
|
From: TONYREED To: ALL
|
|
|
|
Has anyone ever hacked into Edit (plain vanilla) and found a way of
|
|
getting it *not* to indent 3 spaces when it's listing?
|
|
|
|
It makes a pretty powerful mail reader, but the format's annoying.
|
|
Looked through a disassembly briefly (very) but didn't see anything,
|
|
even searching for the Write system calls.
|
|
|
|
Best of the season,

Tony.

Ahhhh......I wonder who Bob is going to tap on the shoulder to try it.

Someone who can blow up a computer just by looking at it I assume (evil grin).
