Current Periodicals

From: MROWEN01 To: JHICKLE
|
|
|
|
Start with '68 Micros'. Other publications are advertised or discussed in
|
|
this publication. 'The world of 68 micors' is a great magazine with even
|
|
coverage of Coco RS-DOS/OS-9 and OSK machines. There are also language
|
|
articles and advertising. Plus you can communicate with the editor right
|
|
here (not to mention most of the article writers themselves)! Can't go
|
|
wrong with the combo.

Thanks for the compliments and recommendation Mike! I have great plans for the
|
|
next few months, so just keep on subscribing! Next issue will be mainly on
|
|
hard drives, including those for the CoCo. Will first discuss the Ken-Ton
|
|
SCSI, which is still in production. The two following issues will cover the
|
|
Disto SASI/SCSI and the B&B CoCoXT interfaces. Will also be doing spotlights on
|
|
Delmar and FHL, complete with reviews of their top of the line systems!

Hi Jim, while unfortunately the Rainbow is no longer, the real
|
|
good news is, there is now a WEALTH of publications out there
|
|
supporting everything from the Color Computer and Coco OS9 Levels 1
|
|
and 2, as well as OS9/68k and OS-9000. I couldn't possibly name them
|
|
all off the top of my head, but I can recommend
|
|
The OS9 Underground
|
|
4650 Cahuenga Blvd. Ste #7
|
|
Toluca Lake, Ca 91602
|
|
Phone:(818) 761-4135
|
|
|
|
I subscribe to that mag and can say it is a very good one, which
|
|
improves with each issue. There are other ones that I can't personally
|
|
speak for, since I don't subscribe to them(YET that is :-) ) but I
|
|
have heard they are very good also<haven't heard a bad thing about any
|
|
of them>. Among them are Metamorphosis, World of 68 Micros,Glenside's
|
|
newsletter<I forget the name for some reason :-( ) and the Bi-monthly
|
|
disk magazine 'Nine-Times' which is put out by JWT Enterprises. There
|
|
are quite a few more, but I can't remember them all offhand. I
|
|
recommend checking into a couple :-)

If you want a free sample of "the world of 68' micros" (68 micro for short)
|
|
send me your name and address in E-mail. I'll get one to you the next time
|
|
I ship out. I publish every 6 weeks, for 8 issues a year. The average issue
|
|
is 30 pages, 8.5"x11", three columns (similar in column arrangement and type

size as the old Rainbows).

Y-modem Downloads

Randy, I'm lost as to why I can't use Y batch for DLs. Xm works fine but I

get real screwy results if I try to use Y batch. Hangs up the window too.

I had the latest version of sacia and clock, as well as SC V2.2. Running

Charlie,

Uh, have we been into this once before (can't remember)? Ah well, I'll toos
|
|
(toss) out my first guess. Make sure you are using matching protocals.
|
|
What Delphi calls "Y-Modem" is really X-modem 1K. A long story on the name
|
|
confusions. What SuperComm calls Ymodem Delphi calls ymodem-batch. This is
|
|
bad enough. But it's worse... there is a recently found bug in SuperComm 2.2.
|
|
If you tel SC ymodem (it wants batch), and Delphi ymodem (no batch) SuperComm
|
|
will crash, usually taking the whole machine down.
|
|
|
|
If this isn't it... we'll keep trying. :>

So what your saying is I can ask Delphi for Y-modem but use X-modem 1k in SC.
|
|
Okay, that sounds okay. The reason you recognize the name is I've had past
|
|
problems setting up my OS9 communications. Thats worked out fine now. I'll
|
|
just stay away from Y-batch in using SC. I'll still be DLing in 1k blocks
|
|
if I understand you right, as long as I ask Delphi for Y-modem. Thanx

Ah, come on, be generous. After all, RiBBS did give me an ideal test site for

I can't recall off hand what version Cup 'O CoCo is running... but that

is where I have all the trouble... can't even use an external program like

xymodem or rz/sz from a shell prompt (probsbly AciaDrv's fault) I't really

|
anoying... I spent quite a lot of time trying to transfer one small file,

using every possible method available... none of which worked... worste part
|

is... it is not a local system (it is a D zone call for me... which is more

expensive then calling outa state!)

a leasedline modem. I tried to hookit up but one or more of the status lines

dn't

seem to let my software to work. ie... dtr or cts need to be low ( or is it

high)

I NEED A Manual for it. Here is the make, model.
|
|
Make: Anderson Jacobson ( of San Jose, CA )
|
|
Model: AJ 1259
|
|
The #1259 leads me to believe that it might be a 1200 baud, but not sure.
|
|
If anyone can help, PLEASE contact me on forum, but perfer E-Mail.
|

Send any and all info to > THESCHU <.

14.4 modem
|
|
From: PHXKEN To: COLORSYSTEMS
|
|
|
|
Zack I'm using the LineLink 144e by Technology Concepts, Inc and my only
|
|
problems so far are line noises. Just found out that AT%C0 turns off
|
|
the class 5 operation which may help for such situations.
|
|
Fortunately I received excellent documentation to help fiddle with the
|
|
many settings available. Today I was in a pinch so I fired up my
|
|
Atari with ATerm and plugged in that modem to do some 1200 baud downloading.
|
|
It was strange working with xmodem again and slow speeds but the files were
|
|
small. The standard modem initialization string, whatever it was, worked
|
|
for that slow operation. I believe something called hardware handshaking
|
|
is required for the high speeds. ENJOY!

RE: Hard disk backup (Re: Msg 86676)
|

From: MITHELEN To: MROWEN01 (NR)
|
|
|
|
B&B's utilities "hdb" and "hdr" make a complete image backup of the hard disk,
|
|
ie. every single byte is copied verbatum... Streams, and other PD backup
|
|
utilities (spanner, HDB, HdKit) all use a use a file-by-file backup method,
|
|
which means, you only backup the allocated files o nthe system, which means
|
|
a lot less data to transfer...
|
|
|
|
I've never used Stream, althoug i hear it is very fast.. I always used Spanner
|
|
which was also very fast, and suited my needs best.
