A lot of utilties use an option (typically -z) to specify to get input from

For example:

|
|
|
|
One suggestion.. How about a blank line to be a sign to end? Of course
|
|
this wouldn't work for the case you are doing a direct directory reading..
|
|
|
|
Shouldn't trying to read past EOF generate an error? Do you have ON ERROR
|
|
GOTO in your program? You might put in an ON ERROR, then let it check
|
|
for errno, and let EOF be end of read..

in a TODAY directory on his /dd and the command module in his exec dir. The

My cursor!? Those darned dots!
|
|
From: 01GEN40 To: ALL
|
|
|
|
Hello everyone,
|
|
I have been experiencing these little anomolies that drive me batty.
|
|
First of all, does anyone know why I am losing my cursor every time I
|
|
leave MAIL? Working without a cursor is like driving a car at night
|
|
with the lights out. Another thing are these random characters I
|
|
get when I sit idle as in reading a message here. My cusror
|
|
moves of its own accordd and leaves random characters behind. In pairs.
|
|
Most of the time I get ".." but other times I get characters That I do
|
|
not think the CoCo is capable of generating.
|
|
|
|
I read in a message that someone has a 63c09 processor in thier CoCo.
|
|
I have a HD63B09EP. What, if any, is the difference between the "b"
|
|
and the "c". These random characters are driving me crazy! I
|
|
have a hard time determining where I am in this text. If I have to back-
|
|
space, I have to take into account that I have X number of characters I
|
|
did not type. If I backspace I need to backspace -X number of random
|
|
characters. Anyway, back to the processor. I would like to find
|
|
out anything about the difference, please. Thanks for any input, in
|
|
advance. See ya.
|
|
|
|
LONG LIVE OS-9! <FOREVER> ** In whatever form it is in!

Re: 63c09.
|
|
You probably have a 68B09 in your CoCoo, note `eight', not `three.'
|
|
The Hitachi 63C09 is a CMOS replacement for the Motorola 6809.
|
|
It's a bit faster and has some `interesting' new instructions
|
|
in it that a few people have managed to exploit. (Reminds me
|
|
of the difference between the 8080 and Z-80 in some regards.)
|
|
|
|
Re: garbage characters
|
|
Probably modem noise. If you don't have an error-correcting
|
|
modem, then telephone noise will often show up as garbage characters.
|
|
Sometimes, hanging up and re-dialing will clear up some or all of the
|
|
noise, sometimes not.

The 63B09 is rated at 2Mhz while the 63C09 is rated at 3Mhz.
|

Either one will work in a CoCo3 - native or regular emulation.

63b09 is 2Mhz, 63c09 is 3Mhz, a little overkill on CoCo.
|
|
|
|
The random characters could be line noise, or you could have
|
|
changed the terminal emulation somehow? Which will generate
|
|
junk control chars to OS9. Besides . (dot- unprintable flag)
|
|
you can get display codes! From another window, bang
|
|
display 05 21 >/w# (# is comm window) and see if the cursor
|
|
comes back.

I'm putting the final <?> touches on a single program that steps you thru

the directories and copys files from BOTH CD-i and CDRom (MS-DOG type) discs.
|
|
|
|
Also have a working version (some-what) of a file manager for CDRom disks.

Reads CD directories with the STOCK DIR command! Attr works too!!

Gene, you should know to run a compression check or squirt a little oil in
|
|
the cylinders to check for weak rings/low compression! Can't be wall damage
|
|
if it cranks fine cold... I guess you could have taken just enough temper
|
|
out of the rings so that you lose compression just when hot, but I never
|
|
ran into anything like that. Try a different heat range plug.... maybe a
|
|
little cooler. Also try some Champion Copper Plus plugs. I HATE champions...
|
|
my old Rambler eats them up, so did my 2-stroke bikes. But those Copper Plus
|
|
plugs made a NOTICEABLE difference in the performance of the 2 strokes!!
|
|
They have the same spark but run at a cooler temp than normal plugs. They still
|
|
don't last as long as a set of Bosch or NGKs (run ACs or Autolites in the
|
|
Rambler!!), but the noticeable power difference was worth changing the plugs
|
|
more often.

ppia.ar
|
|
From: WAYNETHOMPSO To: MIKE_GUZZI (NR)
|
|
|
|
Mike,
|
|
I am in the process of building a parallel port as described in your
|
|
ppia.ar file and have run into a slight problem. The 74ls133 is not in
|
|
my ttl databook, (it says to look in the supplement, which I don't have)
|
|
and I need pin-outs. Could you send me the pin-outs? My other question
|
|
is regarding the db25 connector you talk about in the text file.
|
|
I have a pc clone type printer cable laying around and was wondering if
|
|
you knew the pin assignments of that particular cable? (It has a male
|
|
db25 connector at one end and a 36pin centronics at the other.)
|
|
Now for some opinions. :-) After reading your file (very good work, I must
|
|
say) I can see that with the correct driver, these 2 parallel ports can
|
|
be bi-directional, now I wonder what kind of performance is possible
|
|
in bi-derectional mode. ie. Is it fast enough to utilize some of the
|
|
pc compatible parallel port devices such as hard drives and tape backups?
|
|
Also, I have seen a few external modems that have a parallel port to
|
|
hook up to a pc parallel port for VERY high speed comunication. (28.8k and up)
|
|
I know that these types are extremely expensive at this time, but how
|
|
difficult would it be to utilize (ie. write the proper driver) one of
|
|
these modems with the Eliminator style parallel port?
|
|
Thanks,
|
|
Wayne

Eprommer update- Awhile back, Br.Jeremy posted a question about
|
|
an 'Aval PRW1000' programmer (no docs). The repost is needed
|
|
because I've figured it out (close, anyway) and this ain't yer
|
|
average programmer.
|
|
It's a very pricey looking (actually, looks like an Apple
|
|
][e with a calculator stuck on it) just add modules job, with one
|
|
included that covers 2716 to 27c256 (and the a's) (in intel,
|
|
fuji, and std). Using just the hexpad, you can read two decb
|
|
eproms (moving one up 8K), and rewrite the dual version- in about
|
|
3 minutes flat if you don't bend any pins. You can shrink big
|
|
endians and flip the bits _in_the_programmer_! But the crux of
|
|
the biscuit 'rip is it rts/cts 3 different formats right out the
|
|
serial port without a host program. (With OS9+DevPak to do the s
|
|
records...wow! they were right, it is a DevPak! Might have a
|
|
product here- OS9 burns, the ROM)
|
|
|
|
So now I'm _very_ eagerly looking for any more pieces, docs,
|
|
etc. PALS and so on ought to be in this boxes range- be thankful
|
|
if you'd take a second look at any beige hi-end programmer
|
|
modules you run across festing- there is a bounty;-)

Thanx Keith, reseating the CPU board did the trick. I'm back in business.

Delphi Connect Speed
|

From: JMICHELSON To: ALL

Anyone notice that you can log into Delphi (at least on Sprintnet) at 14.4k
|
|
baud recently? I normally call in on my Coco at 9600, but have the PC fired
|
|
up tonight and lo and behold...CONNECT 14400/MNP COMPRESSED. Maybe I missed
|
|
something somewhere, or maybe Sprintnet is finally starting to upgrade!
