The harris ACIA chip really only makes a difference when using the coco to SEND
|
|
to a SLOWER system... That is because it "fixes" a "bug" with CTS in the
|
|
"standard" 6551 ACIA.
|
|
|
|
The v3.24 rz/sz programs basically have some asm optimized code for CRC calcs,
|
|
and also, I finally got buffered writes to the modem port working.

I wish I was up to the task of fixing the compiler, too. :( The 687 CPS
|
|
was the same as the original 6551, but it also registered 1200 CPS on an
|
|
XModem-1K download, too. About the best I've been able to get out of the
|
|
new ZModem is 751 CPS.

Yep. It really flies compared to the 2400 baud nodes. There appears to
|
|
be less traffic, so you don't get the long delays. You picked up a

high speed modem yet? Just wondering...I don't want any competition for

the 9600 baud phone number. :)

Dear Phil:

The problem appears to be in the modem. The carrier detect light goes on
|
|
but it wasn't getting through to the RS232 pak. I have a Tandy Mini-Tester
|

on the line so I can see whats going on. I changed modems and it seems to be

working. I will have to check further.

You know, someone else mentioned Missile Command a few weeks/months ago right
|
|
here and Mark Griffith (I think it was Mark, sorry Mark if it wasn't!) said
|
|
in effect, "Why port 15 year old arcade games to our current computer
|
|
systems? Bring us something FRESH, something NEW."
|
|
|
|
In a way, I kind of agree with Mark, as porting over old games seems a lot
|
|
like re-runs on TV. But in another way, I'd kindof like to see this myself,
|
|
as I was quite a Missile Commander on the original Atari home video game
|
|
machines. Dazzeled my friends by racking up impressive scores. Most didn't
|
|
seem to mind having to wait for so long before it was their turn, as I could
|
|
take as long as a half an hour or more at a single game!!

Anyone remeber playing Bjork's BASH? Well, Northern Xposure has an OS-9
|
|
game now that is nearly identical, only better! They sent me a copy for review,
|
|
and I've never got anything up and runnning from OS-9 so easy! You can also
|
|
edit the levels with a text editor to make your own levels. For those
|
|
unfamiliar with BASH, you have
|
|
probably seen "Arkanoid"... similar. The game is colorful and smooth when
|
|
running alone (no background processes). Alan DeKok wrote it. He says that
|
|
graphics smotthness will be better if you use "VRN", available from the
|
|
database here. The game is $25, an
|
|
d full source code is available for $30. The source is over 150K with 10K docs,
|
|
and includes the sprite library he developed. So programmers may want to pick
|
|
that up also! Contact Northern Xposure, 7 Greenboro Cres, Ottawa, ON K1T 1W6,
|
|
CANADA. I don't norm
|
|
ally "expose" one of my reviews like this, but there are very few OS-9 graphic

games to go around!

Why port 15 year old games to our current system? Because it is a classic

To be honest, I never owned a 2600 myself. I had several friends who did
|
|
when they were at their heyday. One was where I got all my Missile Command
|
|
playing time.
|
|
|
|
We are showing our age, here, Boisy. You as a kid and me as an old timer. My
|
|
first experiance with video games was at the beer halls at the beach when
|
|
I was 23-24, timeframe was 74-75, when PONG hit the scene with a smash. It
|
|
was immensely popular with a certain set of beer hall gamers. In those
|
|
days it was hard to compete against pinball machines, and the previous
|
|
newcomer during that time, the foosball tables. But PONG endured, and I got
|
|
right good at it. Another one I liked (can't remember the name) was a game
|
|
which started out with a screen of dots which were equally distributed
|
|
on the screen. You had a "ball" which was the same size as the dots which
|
|
once it came up from the bottom would bounce around the top and sides and
|
|
any dot it ran over was erased. Going down the bottom of the screen lost
|
|
the ball. You got two or three balls per game. Object was to clear off the
|
|
screen of dots. Oh yes, you had a paddle at the bottom of the screen to
|
|
bounce the ball back up with.
|
|
|
|
I got my first video game late in 1976, a Breakout game I got from Sears.
|
|
I think it was made by Atari.

Zack,
|
|
I remember I was working for Lafayette Radio in New York while going to college.
|
|
|
|
I remember when Pong came out, 4 variations, tennis, handball, and I can't
|
|
remember the others, after all it was twenty(20) years ago. I know what you
|
|
mean about being an oldtimer. I remember calling a software vendor that
|
|
had advertised in Rainbow. Their business hours were 3:30 pm - 8:300 pm.
|
|
I thought that it was strange, but perhaps it was to allow for time zones.
|
|
Anyway I got what I thought was a woman on the phone. As we talked, for
|
|
some time, I was very impressed with the persons programming knowledge.
|
|
Finally, out of curiosity, I asked "Why those business hours." "Well",
|
|
came the reply, "I get home from school at 3:15 and I have to get ready for
|
|
bed at 8:30". How old are you, I asked. "I just turned thirteen." And
|
|
of course I remember the morning I was talking to Microcom Software and
|
|
the programmer helping me had to cut the call short, the school bus was
|
|
coming. Gosh Zack, I'm getting old. Thanks for triggering some memories,
|
|
maybe I need a 2 meg upgrade......

I know what you mean about missle commander Zack. I had a marathon session of
|
|
a little over 4 hours before my hands were too cramped to continue. Boy do I
|
|
wish I has a decent joystick back then. I wouldn't mind seein some of the
|
|
better older games ported over but would also like to see new games as well. I
|
|
like adventure games...I haven't seen too many of them for OS-9 (any flavor).
|
|
Seems to me there is an automatic opening for new games right there. If you
|
|
have ever played starflight then you can see how OS-9 could really help a good
|
|
graphics based adventure game be more playable. Bot do I wish we had enough of
|
|
a user base to attract companies like Electronic Arts to port some of their
|
|
games over.

I guess you answered the only comment I truly had, as you mentioned a "6.2
|

utility". I assume you have the 6.2 upgrade then. I use "Stacker" on mine, have
|
|
never had any problems to date, but don't have OS9K either. OS-2 also has a
|
|
problem with Stacker AND
|
|
DoubleSpace, only it doesn't mess up the drives... checks for the driver, then
|
|
if it finds it refuses to recognize the drive (a friend has OS-2 on his
|
|
machine.. had to buy a bigger drive because of all this!). OS9K obviously
|
|
doesn't check for the driver be
|
|
fore trying to read, and therefore corrupting, the compressed drive. Hope that
|
|
helps some! Stacker has released a version for OS-2, don't know if it works
|
|
with DOS and OS-2 though, might be something to look into.. maybe the
|
|
compressed drives are protected
|
|
in some way, or use a different method of deginating whetehr the drive is
|
|
compressed or not???

Yah. Stacker and/or DoubleSpace don't know anything about OS9K nor
|
|
does OS9K know anything about such 'compressed' drives. I am a bit surprised
|
|
that OS9K messes up things for MS-DOS. I would think that theoretically it
|
|
shouldn't touch the DOS partition. But OS9K does do writes to the disk at
|
|
times when you wouldn't think it would be. (i.e. 'chd')
|
|
I tried DoubleSpace on my system and OS9K could definitel NOT see the DOS disk
|
|
anymore. So I took it off and bought a bigger drive. This is pertinent to me
|
|
because
|
|
I need to be able to read the DOS side from OS-9000.
|
|
|
|
By the way, I used to be Tech support manager at Microware, and now that I am
|
|
independent
|
|
of the corporate grind, maybe I'll be able to answer a few more questions here.

UltiMuse 4.9 w/NitrOs9
|
|
From: NICKJOHNSON To: ALL
|

|
I've been inactive in this forum for a while, so I apologize if this
|
|
question has been asked before.
|
|
|
|
I can't get UltiMuse III version 4.9 to work with NitrOS9. The program
|
|
will load, spit out "Um3..." to the screen (yes, it is a VDG), and then crash
|
|
after about a half-second of processing (I can hear it on the monitor speaker).
|
|
All functions are then locked up; apparently the interrupts get turned off,
|
|
since even thhe clear-key ceases to function.
|
|
|
|
I've tried using the standard grfdrv, as I thought ultimuse might just
|
|
be having a conniption about 25 line screens, but that wasn't it. It also
|
|
won't run even with my old version of PowerBoost and standard grfdrv.
|
|
|
|
What is the latest version of Ultimuse anyone can get to work with
|
|
NitrOS9?

Hi Nick; Gene Heskett (WDTV5) here. I'm running 4.7.2, ran it with 1.07
|
|
and 1.15/1.16 now, no apparent problems *once* I'd patched vdgint with
|
|
the correct patches from Wes G. & Co. for the 2 megs I've since put in.
|
|
Prior to that, I did have some weird problems, but not anything that I'd
|
|
have called a crash. My probs were not loading up the full song when it
|
|
was running, and then seeing all those memory allocation failures
|
|
displayed on the green screen in those few milliseconds it was visible
|
|
before the system de-allcocated the vdg screen on exiting. One for each
|
|
song I had loaded. So the next Q is which version of Nitros9 are you
|
|
running?
|
|
|
|
My latest vdgint is $0D6D long, and has a CRC of $AFDFF4 as patched for
|
|
the 2 megs and 1.15 or 1.16. I'd offer to do a makpatch, but there were
|
|
apparently several vdgints in the os9 distribution at various times. I
|
|
have two copies of level 2, and the vdgints are different on each master
|
|
copy. I got the second one used so it could have been patched at some
|
|
point by the previous owner.
|
|
|
|
Get back to me in email, I may have an idea.
|
|
|
|
I'd like to upgrade to a later version of UmUse3, but so far have been
|
|
unsuccessful with my correspondence to Ragtimer, or to Ed Hathaway,
|
|
KalaSoft, 3801 Brown Bark Drive, Greensboro NC 27410. UmUse3 was up to
|
|
4.8.0 when I wrote the letter requesting a COD shipment. Its
|
|
4.9.something now eh? That was in '92, you mean its '94 now? I've heard
|
|
of snail-mail, but this is sublime!
|
|
|
|
Ragtimer, if you're copying this, its time to reply! I don't want to
|
|
appear to be like this in public, but I now feel as if I don't have any
|
|
other choice. If I wasn't using the program, then I sure wouldn't have
|
|
spent the time to work out the native mode patches for my version of
|
|
Um3play and publish them for others not so fortunate in coding skills.
|
|
|
|
NICK, *if* you are running native mode, then Um3Play will not drive your
|
|
keyboards via the bit banger as the effective baud rate of 31250 for a
|
|
midi driver is cranked up to approximatly 38000 by running in native mode
|
|
due to the pipelining of instructions by the 6309 in native mode. Once
|
|
you get the correct patches for vdgint, take a look here in the music
|
|
database, there are 2 sets of patch instructs for Um3Play that I know of
|
|
there which will restore it provided they are for your version of
|
|
Um3Play. I've no idea how many diffferent actual versions of Um3Play
|
|
might exist, but the patching I did is described well enough to allow the
|
|
same idea to be applied at a slightly different offset in the file.
|
|
|
|
I first bought a hardware midi adapter and modifed an rs-232 pack with a
|
|
3 megahertz crystal to drive it. I had visions of also recording thru the
|
|
device, but apparently the 6551 I have in that pack won't receive at that
|
|
clock frequency. I expected to have probs with lost data, but I get
|
|
absolutly none when I open a path for reading from it! It drove my 2
|
|
keyboards rather nicely but I also wanted to drive the bit-banger in the
|
|
event I needed that slot in my mpi for something else. The patches I
|
|
uploaded were the result. They'll also start it up from a multiview icon
|
|
dbl-click.
|
|
|
|
Cheers, Gene

Just a thought, tho you have probably already covered it. Have you
|
|
connected the CD line to anything? The 6551 refuses to see incoming
|
|
data unless the CD line is true. (e.g., strap DTR to DCD.)

Yes, the small VDGInt versions will only work with 512K. Alan is
|
|
aware that there is a problem, but has been busied out with university
|
|
and other things lately. He isn't sure when/if he will get a chance to
|

look at the problem. There was a possibility of another user working

on it, but I don't know whether that happened. I will post a message here

Yes, and I made a note to myself to reply, but have been really busy lately.
|
|
|
|
It looks like that drive has characteristics similar to the Seagate ST225N,
|
|
so you could try that descriptor.
|
|
|
|
But I have a "better idea" -- I suggest that you get hold of Matt Thompson's
|
|
SCSISYS drivers. My "scsi47.ar" package did its job, but time moves
|
|
forward, and I don't have the facilities to support it now. And
|
|
Matt has now released a package with extra features and utilities.
|
|
It also supports sector sizes other than 256 bytes, but I don't think
|
|
that's necessary with your drive.
|
|
|
|
A share-ware version is available in the database here. The registered
|
|
version contains several enhancements (including caching), and is now
|
|
distributed by Northern Xposure. Contact Colin McKay on Internet at
|
|
"cmckay@UUISIS.ISIS.ORG" for ordering details (or send me email, and
|
|
I will forward it.)

There is a UUCP package coming out for both OS-9/6809 and OSK very
|
|
shortly. Bob Billson has been working on Rick Adams' UUCP 4.2 for
|
|
several years along with myself, Brad Spencer and a few others. Bob
|
|
is integrating the package right now and getting ready to release it.
|
|
|
|
Also coming out within a week is a full port of PALM (an ELM-like
|
|
mail reader) for OSK. This is an excellent program from Jeff
|
|
Shepler, who I think has done an outstanding job on it. Right now
|
|
I'm fixing a few bugs with it and will be forwarding it to Jeff
|
|
in a couple of days, whereupon he will upload it to Delphi.
|
|
|
|
UUCP 2.0 and Palm make for a dynamite package. And best of all,
|
|
it will come with source code which compiles under both OSK and
|
|
OS-9/6809. The UUCP port still has a few bugs, but works fine
|
|
from my 68030 machine.

OPutBlk ()
|
|
From: MREGC To: ALL
|
|
|
|
|
|
Has anyone else here tried using the OPutBlk (), (offset put block) call
|
|
in KWindows? Or, more to the point, has anyone gotten it to work?
|
|
|
|
I can use the function. However, though it does only "put" the correct
|
|
*size* of the buffer I tell it to, regardless of what I set the offset values
|
|
to, it "puts" starting at the upper left hand corner of the buffer.
|
|
|
|
As I understand it, the correct syntax is:
|
|
|
|
OPutBlk (path,grp,buf,x,y,xoff,yoff,xlen,ylen);
|
|
|
|
I don't even remember if this call has ever been documented, so perhaps
|
|
it was never perfected? Anybody got any ideas?
|
|
|
|
...Thanks...
|
|
...Eric...

I've not heard about nor have any documentation for that function. Is
|
|
that the function that lets you put only part of a get/put buffer on the
|
|
screen, so theoretically you could have several icons in one get/put
|
|
buffer and select the one you want by knowing it's offset into the
|
|
get/put buffer?

That's exactly what it is. And, come to think of it, the example you gave
|
|
about multiple icons in one buffer is somethink Mike actually does in one of
|
|
his programs, so he function must work properly. Either I'm doing something
|
|
wrong or I've got an older version of the library.

Yeah, I believe Mike uses it in DeskTop, and it's a nice K-Windows
|
|
feature. It shouldn't be too difficult to write your own replacement
|
|
OPutBlk() function if it comes down to that. :)

There is a very interesting article about Microware in The Wall Street Journal
|

no less! It is on page B1 of the Tuesday January 18, 1994 issue. The title is:
|
|
"Little Microware Aims to Be a Multimedia Giant" Even has one of those WSJ dot
|
|
ink pictures of Ken
|
|
Kaplan. He looks good in the pic too. Talks about the CoCo and lots of other
|
|
very interesting things. Check it out.

Makpal_fix
|
|
From: LARRYOLSON To: ALL
|
|
|
|
For those of you with a 3meg MM/1, and found that the save function
|
|
didn't work in the Makpal program that I had uploaded, no , it wasn't a
|
|
shareware thing. It was an errant pointer problem that didn't show up
|
|
on my 9meg MM/1.
|
|
Thanks goes to Colin McKay for pointing out the problem and finding the
|
|
fix for it.
|
|
So for those that are interested, the fixed version should be available
|
|
in the downloads, as soon as its ok'd.
|
|
|
|
Thanks again Colin
