|

Hi Denny. I recently did my first complete backup in a long time
|
|
and used stream, but this time used only one drive. The last time I
|
|
tried a two driveckup I ran into a problem, tho I can't remember
|
|
exactly what it was<it could very likely have been my fault>. I don't
|
|
remember if it was Stream I was using then, but am pretty sure you can
|
|
use more than one drive. Try this:
|
|
|
|
Stream <filelist -b -vl /dd/sys/stream/backlog /d0 /d1 /d2
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is no guarrentee this is right, but I am PRETTY sure it
|
|
will. Keep in mind he may want to do some of the stuff a little
|
|
different, but just keep the last 3 parameters right<the drive names>.
|
|
'filelist' is a list a make of all the files with the 'Files' command
|
|
that comes with the hdkit package. I chd to the directory that that
|
|
file resides in, the enter the '-b' command<for backup> which is
|
|
really default anyway. The I enter the -v command so that it will also
|
|
list the process to the screen as it goes along, and then the 'l' for
|
|
'log', and the logfile is in /dd/sys/stream/backlog. That stuff he may
|
|
want to change around to his liking if he knows enough

Its intended to be an alternate output for test runs for pf, so as not to
|
|
waste half the eastern USA's pulp capacity doing test prints. So It would
|
|
have all the output that normally goes to the printer shoved thru it. It
|
|
takes the shove with no errors, and the pathnum shows to 'paths', but it
|
|
finds a leaky pipe someplace, a 100% leak! I think that several years ago
|
|
it worked, as that part of te code has been in pf since about version 12
|
|
or so. And I can do it from a basic09 test program just fine, or from any
|
|
one of a dozen or so utils, like saveing a screenfull from 'vu' to '/wp',
|
|
which works just fine. I'm still puzzled, and have now rearranged that
|
|
code dozens of times over the last week trying to make it work. NADA, Zip,
|
|
nothin has beene the results so far. Heck, I can even use the > operator
|
|
which works just fine. Thanks for the reply tho, Zack, nice to hear from

I hope that outpath is defined as a FILE *. 'fopen()' returns a pointer to

a typdef struct FILE defined in stdio.h not an int. I'd be a little sus-

picious of a value of #396 too.

First OS9 allocates variable storage from high memory but a pointer value of

#396 is way down in the lower 512 that level II reserves for it's own

RE: The Future (Re: Msg 85581)

From: TEDJAEGER To: REVWCP
|
|
|
|
Just to relay my CoCo 3 experiences - I was gradually adding on to
|
|
my system until Tandy shut things down and then 3rd party support
|
|
got scarce. I had reached the point where I had a KenTon SCSI interface
|
|
and 65 meg HD and was quite happy with the increased throughput thaily, the 6309
|
|
addressed that but my interest had largely passed by then to my MM1.
|
|
However, thinking about installing a 6309, getting the SCSI drivers
|
|
that support 512k sectors and speed up access, and using GuiB does
|
|
get my blood flowing again. I will probably get arounf to revving up
|
|
the old CoCo in the aforementioned manner, but I dont have any real
|
|
time frame for it. Currently, my CoCo is at my office and I use a
|
|
word processor (Window Writer) and a personal information manager
|
|
(DeskTamer) on it extensively.

|

From: ALWAGNER To: REVWCP
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
My current systems are as follows:
|
|
|
|
Operational:
|
|
|
|
512k Coco3 w/ Mpi (unmodified), RS232pak, Zoom 2400bps modem, Owl HD
|
|
adapter, ST251 Hard Drive(40meg & full to capacity), 1.2meg 5.25 fllopy,
|
|
Disto SC1, (2) 360k 5.25 floppy, and a CM-8 monitor.
|
|
|
|
512k Coco3 w/ FD502, (2) 360k 5.25 floppy, mouse w/hi-res adapter, and a
|
|
i s primarily for MAX10. It is
|
|
also the computer my daughter (13yrs) uses for homework and games. The
|
|
Coco1 and 2 are mostly a nostalgia kick, although they do see occasional
|
|
use to run things like the old Appliance and Light Controller that don't
|
|
run on the Coco3. The 128k Coco3 is a backup, a hedge against the day
|
|
when one or both of the others fail and parts are just not available.
|
|
From that last statement it may correctly be extrapolated that the Coco's
|
|
meet my current needs quite adequately and will continue to do so for the
|
|
forseeable future. Yes, I would like to be able to handle larger
|
|
databases more easily and be able to get data from Mess-Dos to OS9 more
|
|
easily, but I do not find this a reason to go out and invest as heavily as
|
|
would be needed in a computer just to have compatability with Mess-Dos.
|
|
Although a computer running OS9-68k seems to be the future of OS9, I can't
|
|
justify an investment in that direction just yet either.
|
|
|
|
As for soa exhaustive list of my software, it does cover those
|
|
programs used most frequently not counting utility commands.

I get a feeling, this will be another long winded message of
|
|
mine, so beware<grin>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm glad you brought this subject up Brother Jeremy, since not
|
|
only is it very important for us in the 6809 world to come up with a
|
|
sort of basic hardware 'guideline', it is also a very reachable
|
|
goal<VERY reachable> if only the Coco users will speak up and give a
|
|
little information, and voice themselves through the process, so no
|
|
one or almost no one is upset later on when all is said and done. Wow,
|
|
talk about a run on sentence! Anyhow if we get together, through
|
|
conferencesn here and other services we could make way for a basic
|
|
setup that programmers can use when writing programs. I agree OSK is
|
|
the future, but there is no reason to stop using the Coco unless you
|
|
need to move on. I think a lot of people are getting to caught up in
|
|
the 'Coco is Dead' attitude, which seems to come from some people who
|
|
have moved on and use OSK or another system exclusively. It is
|
|
understandable how this can happen, since it obviously isn't being
|
|
sold any more, but it is also important to remember this one question.
|
|
Why NOT use,support and enjoy it? I say use it as if the market is
|
|
growing and who knows what we may be able to do yet? Of course your
|
|
not going to see a big surge of Coco's out there, but the people that
|
|
ARE using them may become more involved, and who knows, we may even
|
|
pull a few out of the closets! Remember, a lot of what is learned from
|
|
the Coco can very easily be applied to the bigger, machines of the
|
|
future :-) I tried too he UG, but for obvious reasons, that never came to be.
|
|
|
|
Ok, to get my info out of the way, here is what I am running
|
|
on...
|
|
|
|
1. 512k Color Computer 3(6809), Upgraded MultiPak,Tandy RS232
|
|
Pak, Tandy Fd-502 40 track DS drive with the Tandy (halt) controller
|
|
which is used as /d0, a 720k 3 1/2" drive which I use as /d1, a
|
|
Seagate 20 meg HD which Burke&Burke Coco XT-RTC, and an AMT Star 2400e
|
|
modem
|
|
|
|
I think the MultiPak or equivilent is such an obvious
|
|
requirement, that it is almost silly to even include it. I don't think
|
|
any hardware should be limited to one vendor's product. For instance I
|
|
think a hard drive with interface should be standard<I use that word
|
|
loosely in our case>, but all supported interfaces should be
|
|
supported, not just B&B,Ken Ton,Disto, Etc. Personally, while I
|
|
don't own a NitrOS9 or PowerBoost package, I wouldn't be against most
|
|
future devolpement being centered around the 6309 chip. For 1, there
|
|
is alreadywll run on the 6809
|
|
will be able to run on a 6809 Coco, tho a bit slower, unless of course
|
|
it is assembler. That could present a problem. Well that's all I can
|
|
offer off the top of my head at this time, but I'll also respond to a
|
|
couple points you made.
|
|
|
|
>>What software you would like to see. Obviously there are many
|
|
of us in the 6809/os9 world who still want to see the Level 2 upgrade
|
|
released. This is a mandatory project for the Users Group to
|
|
undertake.
|
|
|
|
True. There is no question getting the code will greatly increase
|
|
the chances of people staying with the machine, rather than leaving it
|
|
due to aggravation caused by the patching needed. A regularly updated
|
|
version maintained by the User Group, most likely under the care of
|
|
Zack Sessions, or whoever is the librarian at the time, will also help
|
|
bring a few more users back, or even new users in, that were
|
|
originally intimidated by the amount of hacking required. I know it
|
|
sounds likeith OSK, but
|
|
unfortunately OSK is still a little out of reach for many users, and
|
|
the code, as well as SBF like you mentioned in your next point,
|
|
presents a good alternative for those who can't upgrade, or are just
|
|
comfortable with what they have. Personally I think the prices for the
|
|
current machines are fine especially given the market we are trying to
|
|
open, but a lot of people just don't have the money, no matter how
|
|
well priced the machines are<especially the Sys IV and MM/1>.
|
|
|
|
>>5. Certain RSDOS programs to be ported to 6809/OS9.
|
|
|
|
Of course I'm sure you don't think Max-10 should be among
|
|
those... ;-)
|
|
I agree this should be considered, but it isn't quite as
|
|
important as the level II code and SBF projects. I think it might be a
|
|
little more important to put more emphasis on getting NEW programs
|
|
developed, as well as trying to get our hands on portable code from
|
|
other systems<the Atari and Amiga shareware stuff immediately comes to
|
|
mind>. The latter might end up not being doable but it can't hurt to
|
|
try. I think the problem with RSDos is that most if not all the good
|
|
stuff there is written in Assembler, which even if we get the rights
|
|
to rewrite them, it will REWRITES, and not a port :-( If it can be
|
|
done tho, I say why not!?
|
|
Another goal should be getting in touch with vendors of
|
|
yesteryear, and try to get a hold of some of the good programs that
|
|
lost support. We should try and get them in the hands of a vendor who
|
|
can sell it and support it commercially, and if that isn't possible
|
|
see if it can be released to shareware, as another program added to
|
|
the OS9 UG library. A big boost to the UG's shareware library could be
|
|
helpfull in generating a some funds<this applies to both OSK and OS9
|
|
actually>.
|
|
Now the challenge of pulling through with this project is getting
|
|
users from all over involved. Right now we are just the Delphi
|
|
community. We also have the members of other online pay services, as
|
|
well as the small isolated BBS's all over, plus Fidonet,STGNet,and
|
|
Internet users. With a little effort and coordination, we can get all
|
|
of them involved. The harder part is going to be getting the interest
|
|
and involvement of the people without the benefit of a modem and/or a
|
|
service to get on. One of the goals of the UG is to try and bridge
|
|
this gap as much as possible, and one of the (pardon the pun ;-)
|
|
blessings of this whole project is, it will probably provide the UG
|
|
with it's first test to see if it can indeed make such communication
|
|
possible. The only way to go is up, so I'm interested to see how this
|
|
will work out :-)
|
|
Let me know where you stand concerning my ramblings :-)

Yes, two, both from EFFO. There is an earlier version (something like

6.1) available in the EFFO library here in the database. That is probably
|
|
the one Paul emailed to you.
|
|
|
|
They also have a port of version 6.21, but it falls under EFFO's new

distribution policy, which requires ordering the disks from Switzerland,

and payment of a distribution fee. Sorry, I don't have a complete address

What problems are you having?

|
What version of the Terminfo files are you using? You should be using

|
the version from Trminf1a.lzh, which was posted to the database with
|
|
Rogue. This has updated Terminfos for G-Windows.
|

Also, what version of G-Windows afwor things. (See Ed Gresick's

Yes, so long as the termcap is fully supported. I did not distribute the
|
|
tools for creating Terminfos because they were just too buggy for general
|
|
release. I had to use several workarounds to coax them to work.
|
|
|
|
As noted previously, I am thinking of doing an updated port once I finish
|
|
my current projects. This would use Termcap, and should be much faster.

Thanks a lot, Ken. The problem I was having is proh t problems that I have with this and

4in1 problems
|
|
From: WTHOMPSON To: ALL
|
|
|
|
Someone on fido told me how to make the scsi drive cable correctly
|
|
but after correcting that I STILL get no response fron the hard drive.
|
|
One question: who out there has a 4in1/sc2 on their coco3 with the
|
|
6309 cpu? I am wonderPO To: COCOKIWI
|
|
|
|
I have a Seagate 157n. I'm pretty sure that has the contoller on it.
|
|
As far as 256/512 byte sectors, I am using the scsisys so I want to go to
|
|
512 sectors but the 157n is capable of both.
|
|
Thanks,

Why does the 4-N-1 need 12V? Anything to do with the clock? Mine doesn't
|
|
keep the right time. Haven't tried the hard drive controller yet, but
|
|
expect to use it soon. Or does just the RS-232 use 12V?

An then, the RSDOS basic program did not seem to work for the

|
ST157N and larger drives. I have a patched version of it
|
|
around somewhere. Let me know if you need it. I almost
|
|
forgot to mention that I do not use the multipak. The
|
|
SC-II/4n1 and a Rs232 pack are on a ribbon cable. You can,
|

if you are adventerous, bypass the on-board voltage regulator
|

on the SC-II and feed it 5v directly from the PC power supply.

I believe the 12 volts get regulated down to 5 volts with a
|
|
7805-type chip, the excess energy being dissapated as "heat"!
|
|
If you are putting it in a PC system, you can solder a wire
|
|
on the output of the regulator and take regulated +5 from
|
|
the PC power supply. A ground (common) wire is a good
|
|
idea, too.

Mark,
|
|
I'm sure you are right, most of the programs we see in the OS-9 areas are
|
|
programs written by hackers and they assume that other "hackers" will use them.
|
|
This is a shame because that is one of the things that keeps the RS-DOS users
|
|
away from OS-9, the need to understand OS-9 at the command line level before
|
|
you can use it. I was lucky. I was given a configured system that had all the
|
|
utilities and patches in place when I took the plunge into OS-9. I was able to
|
|
use a lot of programs only because they were already configured to work on my
|
|
system. I am still learning how to do certain things under OS-9 but I have had
|
|
a lot of use from my system because somebody else set it all up. It shouldn't
|
|
be that hard. I had tried OS-9 many times before that bihte directory that the program will create, create your own
|
|
directory-you name a directory and if it doesn't exist the program will make
|
|
it for you, and exit. Obviously if you exit then the program isn't installed.

Check out some of C. Dekkers programs for good install examples. He doesn't
|
|
sell source code with his programs, but the install programs work well.
|
|
He even has hard drive install programs, but some of the older OS-9 guys..
|
|
user time wise... don't like the idea. They want to see source code so they can
|
|
see what's going to happen first. All he does is creat a directory and install
|
|
the program though. You still have to edit your boot file if you want anything
|
|
to autostart or an
|
|
ything. Chris will be at the Chicago fest... write him and see if he'll give a
|
|
talk on writing user friendly install procedures forS-9!!

I wrote installation programs for all of my CoCo based products. So far
|
|
all the MM/1 stuff only needed to dsave everything to CMDS and that's
|
|
it, so I didn't write an installation program for it. Besides, most
|
|
MM/1 owners are also developers who know how to install a few program
|
|
binaries.
|
|
|
|
But, yes, I agree with the concept and plan to have install programs for
|
|
any other product which is more complex to install.
|
|
|
|
Microsoft Visual C++ has a special facility which makes it easy to package
|
|
up your Visual C++ based project as a "standard MS-Windows installation"
|
|
style program. generates a program called SETUP.EXE, of course. :-)
