Steve, I intend to have CIS-B protocol added to KTerm, among other features and
|
|
improvements. I will drop STERM as soon as possible, as I need to eliminate
|
|
wastage in storage space in the MM/1 Disk set. Your point is well taken,

however.

Burn:Cycle for CD-i
|
|
From: BOISY To: ALL
|
|
|
|
I just received a new CD-i title (read OS-9 software) called Burn:Cycle.
|
|
|
|
This game is absolutely amazing. I cannot *believe* the graphics and
|
|
animation. And it doesn't even require the Digital Video Cartridge.
|
|
|
|
Show this one to your friends. Tell 'em it's OS-9 software.

While it's true it is OS-9 software, telling your friends so would give the
|
|
impression that you could access such software with your OS-9 computer, and
|
|
not through a dedicated graphics engine. That's like telling them that some
|
|
of the arcade game machines are OS-9 (which they very well could be, though
|
|
not probable). Not that your statement isn't true, it's just a little
|

misleading!

Frank,

|
>Not that your statement isn't true, it's just a little misleading!
|
|
|
|
Huh? I fail to see what's misleading about it. The fact of the matter
|
|
is that these CD-i titles are OS-9 programs. I fail to expound here
|
|
that it is not a computer as you or I am used to, but I take it for
|
|
granted that everyone here knows what CD-i is.
|
|
|
|
Trying to run a CD-i title on your MM/1 would produce unacceptable results,
|
|
I'm sure. But, so would trying to run a K-Windows program under G-Windows.
|
|
|
|
I think that telling your friends that the CD-i player is an OS-9 system
|
|
and that OS-9 software is actually on the CD-i disk reinforces the
|
|
versatility of OS-9.
|
|
|
|
You know, it's interesting that we have been so used to having an OS-9
|
|
shell at our fingertips; when we see OS-9 working in its more familiar
|
|
environment (embedded, hidden) we are reluctant.
|
|
|
|
Perhaps your perception that my statement is misleading shows that your
|
|
view of OS-9 is a bit more narrow than mine?

Is it like Road Rash? If you don't know what Road Rash is, it's a game
|
|
of racing on scenic public highways for A> Big bucks, or B> Big brusies.
|
|
Ditch the cops and watch out for other competitors. I have heard of Burn
|
|
Cycle. I haven't heard much though. Looks like my brother gets his CDI
|
|
machine by the end of the week. I'm helping him get his first, then in two
|
|
months I'll have mine. :) Can't wait.
|
|
|
|
BTW, the model he is getting (and me) is Phillips CLV-220. Wireless
|
|
remote and wire joypad available (plugs in the front), a rather nice joypad.
|
|
|
|
We really are trying to get the best deal. It is tough, we were
|
|
promised $550 and five free discs. No the guy isn't so shure. Supposedly
|
|
he is going to try talking to Phillips. Do you know what kind of promotions
|
|
there are out there? We heard at Media Play that a coupon exists for 3 free
|
|
disks (normal and FMV?).
|
|

From: BOISY To: DIGIGRADE
|
|
|

Burn:Cycle is not about racing; it's a common misconception.
|
|
|
|
Burn:Cycle is a first person perspective game (like Doom) but with
|
|
all sorts of mini-movies and a good plot. You get/put things just
|
|
like in an adventure game.
|
|
|
|
The game is set in the future where you are a humanoid named Sol Cutter,
|
|
who has a computer implanted in your brain. While stealing data from
|
|
Softech, a software company, a virus gets implanted into your neural
|
|
computer. You have two hours to get it out, or your brain will turn
|
|
to mush.
|
|
|
|
I have to say, it's really cool... A warning though: this game contains
|
|
some offensive language, quite a bit of blood and graphic violent scenes,
|
|
as well as some mild nudity. I don't think I would recommend it for
|
|
young kids.
|
|
|
|
That said, it has to be one of the best games of its kind for CD-i.

Actually, I ordered Burn:Cycle directly from Philips. They have an
|
|
800 order number (sorry, I don't have it with me now) where you can
|
|
call and order titles.
|
|
|
|
I've seen Zelda at Sears. It looks ok, don't know much else.
|
|
|
|
Microcosm looks really cool. It's much the same as Microscopic
|
|
Mission, but is FMV and has lots of cool graphics.
|
|
|
|
I'm glad you're enjoying your CD-i player dude. If you don't have
|
|
Burn:Cycle soon, I'll bring it over when I go to Chi-town in a couple
|
|
of weeks.

----- there I was, sometime in the middle 60's, hustling back from

Albequerque NM to San Angelo TX (trying to get back before the

First Sergeant at Goodfellow AFB found out I was gone) ---
|

I hit a patch of oil on a curve and the motorcycle squirted out from
|

under me like a watermellon seed. I found myself travelling down the
|
|
asphalt on the seat of my pants at about 55mph -- hands out in front,
|

still gripping the missing handlebars -- wondering what happened.

THAT, my friend, is ROAD RASH.

When viewed with the perspective that you are talking to OS-9 literate

people (such as here), your statements make perfect sense, and the person
|
|
would know what you meant. Talking to a person familiar with other computers
|

and possibly NOT CD-I, it

"No" on both parts of the question. Some other enterprising person could

probably make a call to one of the many CD-i title producing companies

Any shell would do (there are several public domain shells such as
|
|
'sh' and 'bash') MW utilities would probably be out, since they
|
|
can only be obtained via license. One would have to write public
|
|
domain clones of mfree, procs, etc. unless licenses are bought.
|
|
To be honest, I really don't know how licensing is done.
|
|
|
|
If you want to do it, establish a rapport with a CD-i developer.
|
|
It will take some work, but it's definitely doable without any
|
|
MW software involved.

RE: HD (Re: Msg 90382)

|
|
|

Technically, the KT is a standard SCSI inteface and should work with ANY
|
|
SCSI drive. You will need Matt Thompson's 512 byte sector drivers. A shareware
|
|
version is available here on Delphi or I can send them on disk. The reality
|
|
is that the KT is only guaranteed by the manufacturer (and therefore by me
|
|
also) to work with the Seagate N series drives. If the Quantum supports 256
|
|
byte sectors, it should work with the KT drivers and RGB-DOS (for DECB access)
|
|
also. RGB-DOS should work with a 512 byte sector drive, but will only recognize
|
|
256 bytes of each sector. Starting now, all KT interfaces will be shipped with
|
|
a cable at no extra charge. This is to save ME headaches! I just need to know
|
|
if you are using a SCSI case or connecting directly to the drive.
|
|
|
|
I suggest you d/l at least the docs for the SCSISYS drivers from here and look
|
|
them over. If you think you can follow those instructions and set it up, go
|
|
for it! The only warning I must give is that the interface can't be returned
|
|
for refund if it doesn't work with a drive other than a Seagate N series
|
|
with ROM revision 105 or greater (that ROM supports 256 byte sectors).

Thanx Dieter, I got the printer problem in hand, doing as you suggested.
|

Right now I got real headaches caused by a HD crash in Atlanta. Had to
|

dump my HD and start from scratch. I'm getting frequent crashes nows
|
|
under my thrown together system and I'll be awhile ironing out the bugs.

Again THANX! ...

Charlie, your MPI is strapped, isn't it? The only other thing I can think of
|
|
for you to check on that HD system is the contacts. Clean ALL (including those
|
|
on the PC/XT card in the B&B metal case) with a pencil eraser, and spray the
|
|
contacts inside the connectors with tuner or contact cleaner (available from
|
|
RS or other electronics stores). Those cause intermittent, hard to find
|
|
problems! Doing that on the first signs of little, frequent errors will help.
|
|
Usually every other year or three is enough.

I've used `z' and `sz' to upload to Delphi, although I did manage
|
|
to find an annoying bug in Delphi's upload support that makes it
|
|
somewhat annoying to upload ASCII files using `z.' Basically,
|
|
don't do ASCII uploads to Delphi using `z.' I think `sz'
|
|
defaults to binary, so you're less likely to encounter the bug
|

there.

CD-i
|
|
From: PHXKEN To: DSRTFOX
|
|
|
|
Frank, your interest is peeking into CD-i but be aware that a game
|
|
rental place here is Phoenix is selling a Phillips (single speed) for
|
|
$150.00 used. Even my local Sears still has one in the basement that
|
|
was their floor demo for a while. Make sure that the Phillips is
|
|
a current model befor you buy. The little Magnavox units are all
|
|
new and will be double spin speed but I do not know about ports. Mine
|
|
has a wired joystick, an external power supply, top loads and has
|
|
5v port for who knows what and the video and stereo outlets. The
|
|
digital video cartridge can be installed though the top. Some of
|
|
the more deluxe Magnavox units could be of the older issue as well.
|
|
I have found that here, the best prices on software are from Best Buy.
|
|
Whereas the best variety is available at Incredible Universe and it's
|
|
prices are still somewhat less than the mail-order list prices.
|
|
Best (not Best Buy) is also marketing the Magnavox unit like mine but
|
|
their software prices are at list (strange for a discount store).
|
|
Service Merchandise does discount software a little but not much here.
|
|
Hope this helps with your LEAP.

I was aware that some of the front loaders were the older Phillips machines,
|
|
but not that they were single speed.... or rather I wasn't aware the newer
|
|
ones were double speed! I'll still look for the 550 at $499... especially if
|
|
it has (as someone here mentioned) the FVM in it as well. Seems that the
|
|
top loader doesn't, and you end up paying $500 when you buy both separate.
|
|
But then that's $500 over time.. not all at once!

The 550 is the top loader with FMV already in it, and I've seen it at
|
|
Babbage's for $500 minus epsilon.

Burn:Cycle does not require the DVI cartridge. That's right, you can

play it WITHOUT the FMV cart. Even without using the DV cartridge, it

still looks *way cool.*

No. *Burn:Cycle* does NOT require the Digital Video cartridge. It

looks pretty darned good even so.

I picked up a ViVa 14.4k Fax/Modem today from Best Buy for an

unbelievable price: $99.95 new in the box! It was too good of a deal

IFF/SND files

Is there any way you or your fellow MM/1'ers could come up with a CoCo II/III

player for the MM/1 IFF/SND sound files? I, as well as many CoCo users, fell

left out because we simply cannot afford MM/1's or any major upgrades in

hardware.

Thanx

PS. If the answer is yes, it would be nice if there was a RSDos version

From: BOISY To: DGANTZ (NR)

Sorry you feel left out, but I left the CoCo a while back. If you want
|
|
the software, you should really consider upgrading to an OSK machine.
|
|
|
|
There's a new OSK machine that is really affordable now, BTW. It's
|
|
from Wittman Computer Products, based on a 68306 and has an IDE
|
|
interface, floppy interface, 4 PC ISA slots, and is only $400. All
|
|
you need to add is a case and power supply, a floppy drive and a
|
|
hard drive. You can then add a graphics card in one of the PC slots to
|
|
run an OS-9 windowing system.
|
|
|
|
Bill Wittman's address is WW2150@ACSPR1.acs.brockport.edu
|
|
|
|
I suggest an MM/1, but if cost is really a factor, this might be a good
|
|
entry level OSK machine.

It seems I might have encountered something like JOHNBAER, also, RE:

something wrong. I went into Chestnut Incoming and tried to get an ".ar"

file, I got the msg "file doesn't appear to be ASCII", or something like

that, but it did not ask me if I wanted to try BINARY. I was making my

attempts from the menu. Was I doing something wrong.. Is there some place
|

where you set binary or something? I was doing all this from within the

If one wants to do binary xfers, should one just go to the main Internet

Hi Paul,
|
|
|
|
Understood. I guess I will just sit back and wait for another "bugfix"
|
|
version to come out that "really" gets rid of the '.' when using the ESC
|
|
key or CTRL-E to break out of a program. This could be quite annoying
|
|
for someone trying to work out a problem in a program and having the need
|
|
to use the ESC key to terminate it and get back to the source code.
|
|
Thanks for the info, Paul. See ya.

LONG LIVE OS-9! <FOREVER> ** In whatever form it is in!
