Hi all,
|
|
After all the discussion of CDI here I figure I better get
|
|
around to asking what kind of files are on a CDI disk? I do have a
|
|
CD reader hooked to my MM1 and Chris Hawk's utility to copy from
|
|
CDI. Are there sound files (iff) on those CDI disks that I could
|
|
bring to my MM1 HD and play? Are there images on those disks that
|
|
could be displayed on the MM1? I might go buy a CDI disk just to
|
|
explore .....

Greetings All!
|
|
|
|
I'm looking for a few brave souls to beta-test the first release of my new
|
|
CDRom File Manager (CDF). It works fine with all the utilities I've thrown
|
|
at it (dir, copy, attr, load (<from CD-i discs>). And I need someone(s)
|
|
to wring it old real good!
|
|
|
|
You need:
|
|
|
|
An OSK based computer.
|
|
a 33c93A SCSI controller chip (like the MM/1)
|
|
an NEC SCSI CDRom reader (others may work, maybe not)
|
|
|
|
I will supply the File Manger and descriptor. If you have the CDRom reader
|
|
then you probably have the driver (rbvccs and scsi_mm1d vr #27). If not, I can
|
|
supply them too.
|
|
|
|
Send me E-Mail if you are willing to try it out.
|
|
|
|
To whet your appetites, here is a dir of a CD-i disc:( 7th Guest )

Well I have -s which get's input from stdin, but pretty much

expects it from a non keyboard source? My plans so far are to work on

the tip Randy gave me, and get the program to figure out what device

stdin uses after recieving the -s option. I already have the -f option

which expects input from a file, but if my work with syscall works out

well I might kill off that option and incorporate -s and -f into one -

z. The method you gave is more standard and sounds more elegant. From

This is why I always get advice from here when it comes to

I might, IF it was a ring-ding. The VT500FT is a 4 stroker, 2 cyls on 54
|
|
degree angle with the crankpins offset 52 degrees. Kinda like a mini harley
|
|
but without the vibs. 2 plugs per hole, 4 valves from one cam per head.
|
|
" cv carbs=2, and fuel flow is gravity but just barely, it starves once
|
|
in a while at speed & I have to loosen the tank cap which does NOT have
|
|
a gasket, not since some monkeys stole it and pipe-wrenched the orig gas
|
|
cap off. so's they could ride it to the next 7-11 they were sticking up.
|
|
Finally got caught in Batltimore (Baltimore) and threw it in the bushes,
|
|
at which point the cops gave it back to us, as is! It now has a pinto gas
|
|
cap/flange in the top of the tank, & I haven't even painted around the
|
|
blistered paint from silver soldering all that into it. I mean, this is
|
|
an original "rat" bike! About 17k miles is all, so the walls s/b good.
|
|
I need to pull both plugs at once so I can see but they are about as
|
|
close to impossible to remove as theyc come, buried even deeper than
|
|
an old hemi mopar was. Takes 2 different sockets as each has its own
|
|
clearance probs to the top edge of the socket vs the access port in the
|
|
heads. Next summer maybe, in the meantime its under a roof for the winter.
|
|
Its taken me 2 years just to get the jets cleaned enough to actually
|
|
go out on the interstate without leaning out at 40 mph. Took a can of
|
|
injector cleaner, the kind you add 1/2 of to a 20 gal tank if they're
|
|
real dirty, only I put 1/2 the bottle in 2 gals & took it for a run out
|
|
of gas ride. Worked wonders! Saving the other half bottle for next time.
|
|
Right now, its problem is that it simply won't crank when hot, and it
|
|
has absolutley no provision for a kick starter lever anyplace. If the
|
|
battery won't, then you're dead right there because the clutch won't
|
|
hold well enough to push it once the plates are opened letting the oil
|
|
in between them again. Oil could be a prob, its 5w40 Castrol, but its
|
|
not THAT old, fresh last spring and <1k miles on it.

Gene,

The clutch is easy, it is the oil! Modern multi-vis oil is

|
_way_ to slick for an oil bath clutch. These oils save fuel by
|
|
being 'runny', and get their summer ratings with exceptional film
|

strength rather than simple viscosity.
|
|
Good film=bad clutch, and the hotter the bike the worse the
|
|
problem. Racing clutches (at least in the 70s) had very hard
|
|
plates and ran in straight 30 (or 50) weight oil. Street bikes
|
|
got away with 10w40, but this was the old 10w40, not a super oil.
|
|
|
|
Hot start thought- not enviourmentally correct, but you
|
|
might try a leaded additive (Klotz 'Real Lead' or similar- not a

simple octane booster)
|
|
Would go a long way to keeping the top end lubed for a hot
|
|
start- and you could probably skip a few tanks between
|
|
treatments, till the lead deposits wore off the cylinder walls

again.

Oil in the plug holes works for poor compression on anything. I'm at least
|
|
vaguely familiar with the VT500... a friend had one with a water pump leak!
|

Gasket got hard with age and it is a bit** to change! Just pull

carbs. What you did was a quick fix, they really need a proper cleaning this

Well, yes I spose. They was soaked in Yammies recommended cleaner for
|
|
about a month a year ago, without any real effect. One has a busted

diaphram, but I've been patching those with a rubberised type winshield
|
|
sealer and saran wrap, the sealer holds the saran wrap in place for
|
|
years! This isn't my first go-round with cv carbs, I date back into
|
|
the early '70's and the old CB-350 twin on those. Now there was a hot rod!
|
|
38 ponies outta 350 cc, 11k redline (& a 15k miles crank too, all roller)
|
|
Wasn't paying much attention one morning, had 140lb son on back, pulled out
|
|
behind northbound truck doing around 60 & darned near ran us under him
|
|
before I got outta 2nd! But all good things must end, and I found somebody
|
|
who wanted to administer the coo-de-ta on the crank for $200, so I let
|
|
him. Those carbs both had the saran wrap patches, response was instant
|
|
even so.

Gene,

|
|

Another 2 cents worth I will add is to make sure that the gasoline you are
|
|
using is high octane. Todays' lower octane fuels burn hotter and longer
|
|
raising cylinder and head temps. Rick's advice about the lead additives also
|
|
addresses this. If I were you, I would run the highest octane fuel I could
|
|
find. Retarding timing very slightly to shorten the burn time might provide a
|
|
clue that this is the problem.

|
Gene,
|
|
|
|
The absence of pre-ignition knock at the std spark advance setting was the
|
|
criterion for leaded fuels, but today's gasoline chemicals react differently
|
|
than tetra-ethyl lead did. As I stated in my last post, gasoline today is
|
|
formulated to burn hotter and LONGER to try to reduce unwanted emissions from
|
|
the exhaust. The Japanese and Chrysler Corp. in the U.S. developed the "lean
|
|
burn" engine design in the 80s which consisted of a conical combustion chamber
|
|
designed to extend the length of the "burn" cycle in the 4 cycle engine.
|
|
Gasoline was redesigned at that time to accommodate this design change
|
|
replacing tetra-ethyl lead with a gaggle of chemicals designed to lengthen the
|
|
"burn" time of the fuel. This change resulted in fewer emissions from the
|
|
tailpipe, higher gas mileage AND higher head temperatures due to the extended
|
|
length of the combustion phase. In addition, as Rick Ulland has pointed out,
|
|
gone also is the lubricity of tetra-ethyl lead which used to coat the valves
|
|
and valve stems, spark plugs and everything else in the combustion chamber.
|
|
Since the "burn" cycle is longer, and since the fuel octane is lower, the
|
|
initial combustion of the fuel (ignition) takes place at a higher temperature.
|
|
Thus, there will be no "pre-ignition" in most cases. The engine just runs
|
|
much hotter. Pre-ignition was caused because higher octane fuels would ignite
|
|
due to the heat developed from compression alone when the combustion chamber
|
|
temperatures or glowing tetra-ethyl lead deposits were heated beyond the
|
|
ignition "flash" point before the spark actually occurred. This condition is
|
|
much more rare today because there is no lead, and the effective octane of
|
|
gasoline is significantly lower.
|
|
|
|
I am an air-cooled Volkswagen nut, so I am very well educated regarding the
|
|
effects of today's new fuels on small air cooled engines. The two significant
|
|
measures for reducing excessive head temperatures and preventing premature
|
|
wear on valves and valve guides due to high temperatures are: to use at
|
|
least the octane rating of fuel for which the engine was designed (in the case
|
|
of the air-cooled VW that is 91 [ I use 93]), and to use one of the new
|
|
super-lubricating oils such as the synthetic Castrol "Syntec" or adding a
|
|
super-lubing additive such as Dura-lube (the best) or Slick 50. (I use both
|
|
Syntec oil and Dura-lube in my engines - outstanding performance and mileage.)
|
|
Retarding the ignition timing slightly may also help, but is far less
|
|
desirable due to loss of performance in a small engine.
|
|
|
|
To summarize, every motorist should take advantage of the new "molecular
|
|
bonding" oil formulations, because they not only lower operating temps, but
|
|
also sharply reduce engine wear which is greatest at startup before the oil
|
|
has circulated through the engine. This applies doubly for cold weather
|
|
operation. Not everyone should use higher octane gasoline, however. If your
|
|
engine was designed for the new lower octane gasolines, you may experience
|
|
reduced gas mileage, may see very little difference in performance and
|
|
effectively throw money away using higher octanes.
|
|
|
|
Wow! Got carried away, but there it is. All you ever wanted to know, but
|
|
never asked.<grin>

Cheers to you, Gene.

I have a hard time keeping my recently rebuilt 1963 Rambler engine from using

much oil! In the summer, it is bad! Run a little hard (like cruising interstate

Excellent text, but one caution- bikes often use the
|
|
engine oil as clutch coolant! Under no circumstances should a
|
|
'Slick50' type additive be used with an oil bath clutch! Doing so
|
|
is an invitation for repeated clutch failure until all that crap

finally rinses out 20 plates down the road..

yeah, seemed to me the 350 crank was being quoted at the $375 level plus
|
|
installation to match. I opted for a 350 4 instead at the time, not near the
|
|
power, and a continuous oil leak for a head gasket. But I tossed my leg
|
|
over it the first time at the 31k miles mark, 14 months later I handed the
|
|
keys to the next owner, made $50 on the deal, and the clock said 57k miles!
|
|
Like I said, I used it as a chair car (with air conditioning, even in 10"
|
|
of freash snow. Ahh, those were a little closer to my "salad days", immortal
|
|
and all that. I recall one frosty morning headed over FreyDonnier pass out
|
|
of SusanVille, headed for Chester ca, middle of a big 3 lanes each way
|
|
sweeper, left peg an inch off the deck leaning into a serious sidewind.
|
|
At apex of corner, 9k in 3rd gear, the wind switched sides. I put that peg
|
|
into the blacktop and used all three lanes on my side and 2 on the other
|
|
side, but I saved it! Things like that make ya think yer the best, and
|
|
then 5 years back I throw away a GS1000G missing a deer at 30 mph and
|
|
break a rib, collecting $500 worth of road rash too. Oh, and $300 for
|
|
new glasses, couldn't find more than s sliver or so of the old lenses.
|
|
All told, I figure I've probably hit the 500,000 mile mark on 2 wheels
|
|
over tha last 45+ years of riding. One busted rib, one broken ankle,
|
|
lost track of tha hard hats etc tho.

From: MIKE_GUZZI To: WAYNETHOMPSO

The pin out for the 74LS133 is as follows
|
|
|
|
pin 16 VCC, pin 8 GND, pin 9 output, all other pins are inputs
|
|
|
|
The DB 25 was chosen since it has enough pins for two printers and I had them
|
|
handy. I didn't include those details since others might choose a different
|
|
route. you need 10 pins plus ground plus reset (optional) so there is enough
|
|
there, I chose to make the cable MALE to distinguish it from the rs232 ports
|
|
and it makes it easy to disconnect the cable from the cartridge.
|
|
|
|
The PIA's can be bi-directional, the PPIA driver from the eliminator programs
|
|
the PIA to be output only. but with info about the 6821 you can program them
|
|
for inputs. (or change at will) I do not know if the speed would be enough
|
|
to make it truely bi-directional since it would take three pokes to the
|
|
PIA to change it from output <=> input. (ok three store commands for
|
|
assembly users)
|
|
|
|
as for a parellel modem, making a driver would be easy since you have no
|
|
baud rates and probably no parity and such. Ive never seen these modems
|
|
so I couldn't comment on how feasable it would be.
|
|
|
|
The only problem I have with PPIA is it doesn't sense for #246 errors,
|
|
that would be easy to patch in, the driver is rather simple.

PGP ver 2.6.2
|
|
From: MARTYGOODMAN To: ALL
|
|
|
|
In the Color Computer SIG data base, in the GENERAL section, is
|
|
a 14K long text file I just wrote that gives the history of the PGP
|
|
public RSA encryption software, AND tells you how to use Delphi
|
|
(assuming you are at a site in the USA) to obtain a copy of the latest
|
|
(and now legal) release of PGP, version 2.6.2. (You do have to
|
|
be a member of the Internet SIG, with acess to FTP and Telnet capabilities
|
|
of Delphi.)
|
|
|
|
While PGP is available only for the PC compatible and Macintosh platforms,
|
|
there IS available from the same FTP site that has the program
|
|
SOURCE CODE for the program, which might allow OS68K types to port
|
|
it to their machines.

If you can supply me with the mgs number it would help greatly.

If U can believe it I get the same thing with the old shell too. It must

have something to do with memory boundaries. I start with 344k free, no

Interesting. In that case, the info in 90625 probably won't help fix

I'll keep at it. But I think my system is bad. Do you know if we have

It could be that the "-" key is not working properly.

Signals in UCC
|
|
From: PAGAN To: ALL
|
|
|
|
I recently posted a request for information re the signal() and
|
|
_os_intercept() functions in UCC. Here's what I learned:
|
|
|
|
It's not necessary to _os_sigmask() unless you need to clear or increnment
|
|
the signal mask.
|
|
|
|
To second parameter should be _glob_data which is initialized in cstart just
|
|
for this purpose. Microware overlooked this in it's documentation :-)
|
|
|
|
The process becomes:
|
|
|
|
void SignalCatcher(sig)
|
|
int sig;
|
|
{
|
|
/* process the signal */
|
|
_os_rte()
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
main(argc,argv)
|
|
int argc;
|
|
char *argv[];
|
|
{
|
|
extern void *_glob_data;
|
|
|
|
_os_intercept(SignalCatcher,_glob_data);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
BTW, using debug it looks like _os_intercept has less overhead than the old
|
|
intercept() function in the 3.2 compiler.
|
|
|
|
Thank for the information goes to Peter Dibble, A.B. Cohen Stuart and
|
|
Ruediger Nahm-Elstner (PEP Modular Computers).

I don't remember having the problem with multiboot but when I have
|
|
Stack Overflow errors they can be corrected usually by specifing
|
|
more memory on the command line. Try multiboot#16k or multiboot#32k
|
|
for example.

mini expansion bus
|
|
From: WAYNETHOMPSO To: DISTO
|
|
|
|
Tony,
|
|
I am thinking about building a PIA based parallel port using
|
|
the mini expansion bus in my SC2. My question involves the Chip Enable
|
|
__
|
|
(CE) pin [#13]. What state is this pin in when address $FF50 is selected
|
|
on the coco bus? I think that it would be low, but I want to make sure.
|
|
I plan to map the pia into $FF50-FF53. I am using Mike Guzzi's PPIA.AR
|
|
as a guideline. In that file he decodes the pia into $FF70-$FF73 and
|
|
builds a separate pak to plug in his MPI. After studying his guidelines
|
|
I started looking at my SC2's MEB since it is already decoded and should
|
|
be relatively easy to use for the project and end up saving a slot on my
|
|
MPI to boot!
|
|
To clarify, let me restate the question:
|
|
When $FF50 is shown on the coco bus, what is the state of pin 13
|
|
( chip enable) of the MEB?
|
|
Thanks,
|
|
Wayne

The Chip Enable pin of the mini bus on a SCII is normally HI and when the CPU
|
|
does a read/write the pin goes LO. From what I read in your message, it should
|
|
work just fine. -Tony.

If the linker can't find "strtok," "strchr," and "_envrion," what do

I have to do to compile the program???
|

As it is, one portion of the source code - termio.c - generates several

send me his version of termio.c which appears to be much better.

Looks like you're compiling code that is expecting ANSI C library routines
|
|
(strtok, strchr). Your options:
|
|
|
|
1. get Ultra C
|
|
2. see if someone else has written an ANSI C library you could use
|
|
3. roll your own ANSI C library

Boisy,

Well, I've been told I need os9lib.l. As for compiling Palm for OSK,

it just won;t happen on my MM1. James Jones replied to I forum
|
|
message that I left here several days ago with the error output from

the compile. He said that unresolved references such as
|
|
strtok, strchr, and _environ mean that the program was written for ANSI C
|
|
and as such require an ANSI compiler or Ultra C. I have neither.
|
|
|

If you can compile the source with C 3.2, then it means you have something
|
|
compiler-wise that I don't.

Might mean that there's some macro one can define to conditionally compile
|
|
either for ANSI or for pre-ANSI. (I'm just guessing at all this, since I

haven't seen the source.)

Easy! It repeats the lies I told it to tell the user! Actually the only

Memory Shortage
|
|
From: 2NIBBLES To: ALL
|
|
|
|
Sometime, long ago--I read some cocolist mail concerning someone's
|
|
homebrew 2 Meg simm board for their CoCo. I just happen to have 2 Meg's
|
|
worth of 256 X 8 simms laying around, and would like to fabricate an
|
|
adapter board for MY CoCo. In order to prepare for this task, I ordered
|
|
NEC's Memory data book from JDR Microdevices out here in CA, and now have
|
|
a pinout for these simms, but I DONT have a schematic that I'll certainly
|
|
need in order to assemble the desired memory board. I could make a 512k
|
|
board easily, but if some very kind CoCo-ist out there would oblige me, I
|
|
will assemble a 1 or 2 Meg board that I would much prefer. At this moment
|
|
I have sockets, memory, a suitable protoboard, a little time, much desire,
|
|
a lot of patience, and much hope.
|
|
|
|
Please, someone HELP!! I'd very much appreciate it, and if an SASE and
|
|
some valuable consideration within the means of the typical married CoCo-nuts
|
|
limited budget will help, I'm game.
|

It sounds like you are getting line noise. Is your Modem Error Correcting?
|
|
If not, this might be your trouble.. I've experienced the same thing,
|
|
but not lately, maybe since I went to error-correcting modems. I suspect
|
|
it is little low-volume noises that don't show up when you are getting
|
|
activity, not sure.

I, too, have a "B" version.. I suppose the "C" is supposed to be a CMOS
|
|
version, which consumes less power. Then I heard that all 6309 chips
|
|
are CMOS, so I dunno.. I'd just go with the flow <G>.

|
|
|
|
Yeah, I know what you mean.. If they are persistent, and you don't
|
|
have an error-correcting modem, if you could borrow one to try, might
|
|
help you see if it is line noise.
|
|
|
|
OH, I just remembered, I had a modem one time, a Smart Team (NOT Smart
|
|
One), and it began sending garbage... I cursed my phone co to no end,
|
|
but found out it was the modem. Could be your problem, too. I'd
|
|
try another modem.. If another modem cleared up your problem, you might
|
|
try your modem at a location that was not getting errors and see if the
|
|
garbage occurred there. If so, then it would look like the modem was bad.

James,
|
|
|
|
I have a CoCo III and an MS-DOG machine, and I tell Delphi that I am a VT-100
|
|
too. I don't have IX for the CoCo, but I use Win-DLite on the DOG. The DOG
|
|
also goes into boldface and large characters in Win-D sometimes after a mail
|
|
response and sometimes after a forum response. I would guess Delphi's VAXes
|
|
are getting a character sequence that makes them burp.
|
|
|
|
Any opinions out there?

Hi Tim,
|
|
In this CoCo 3, which is one of three or four, is a HD63B09EP not a
|
|
6809. I saw a refference to a 63c09 processor and wanted to know the
|
|
difference between it and my HD63B09EP. I replaced the MC68B09E Mot-
|
|
orola processor in 1992. That is when I entered in my logbook. Just
|
|
in case the next four messages to me say the same thing, I want to make
|
|
it clear on that point. I have a logbook in my dd/sys directory that
|
|
I use to keep a record of any and all modifications, whether hardware
|
|
or software. This way if I need to have a certain modification done
|
|
in order to make a wanted modification, I can see in my log if I have
|
|
done it or not. Or, I can use it to see if a wanted modification is
|
|
going to be in conflict with one I have done in the past.
|
|
About that noise, I have come to the conclusion that what you say
|
|
may be true in my case. I have noticed that if I log off and log back
|
|
on that this will help in most cases. I am having no problem with it
|
|
right now in this session. I did switch back to my Disto RS232 Pak.
|
|
Thank you for the reply, Tim. See ya.
|
|
|
|
P.S. Oh yeah, one more thing. Is there any reason you can think of
|
|
as to why I am losing my cursor when I leave MAIL? I am using OSTerm
|
|
Version 2.08 and have been for the last four years. Going into MAIL
|
|
is the last thing I do before logging off, obviously since a cursor
|
|
is a neccessity. See ya.

Hi James,
|

Long time no speak. I think the last time was when Paul Ward was still

|
|
only the infamous disappearing cursor. I have come up with a quicky cure

for it, I do MAIL just before I log off. Oh, I am using OSTerm V2.08 and
|
|
terminal set to VT-100. I do have a small startup file that does some
|
|
palette manipulation before firing up OSTerm. Makes the colors better. I
|
|

No, there are 63b09's. That's what mine is. I was surprised that it
|
|
WAS a "B". But it is a 6309, because it accepts 6309 codes, or at least
|
|
it works with PowerBoost. It was my understanding that all 6309's WERE
|
|
CMOS, so not sure. I wonder if any are labeled as "C"?

Hi David,
|
|
Well, I can tell you that I have learned the difference between the
|
|
63b09 and the 63c09. The "b" runs at 2Mhz while the "c" runs at 3Mhz.
|
|
I got a few replys that explained it to me. Anyway, I have come up
|
|
with a quicky cure on the disappearing cursor, I do MAIL last, before
|
|
I log off Delphi. As for the random characters, I think it may well
|
|
be line noise. If I get them really bad I can log off and log back on
|
|
with good results. I am not to sure about the modem being self-cor-
|
|
recting or not. I was a cheapy that I got at a warehouse type compu-
|
|
ter store. It came with some "ProComm" emulating software that I only
|
|
use at work of the 486. It is a lot like the TelStar program for the
|
|
MIGHTY CoCo. Anyway, thanks for the reply. See ya.

Those letters indicate the highest clock rate that the manufacturer is

willing to guarantee the chips work at. B indicates 2 MHz, C 3 MHz.
|
|
Yes, all 6309s are CMOS...which is why they suck down a LOT less current
|
|
than the 6809s and thus run way cooler.

Yes, I saw them.. and I learned, too. I actually wondered why some

referred to their chips as "C" and others were "B", I wondered if

I might have come up short with my chip, but I would suppose not.

I'm not trying to run an ad or anything, but I'd strongly recommend
|
|
"infoxpress" for your messages and mail.. It is really fantastic. You
|
|
just log on and "leave the driving to us". It will even automatically
|
|
download files you receive in mail (if you specify a protocol). Really
|
|
neat. I have it for the CoCo (well, you can tell that by my tagline :-)
|
|
|
|
I've also got an order in for the OSK version.. It really saves lots
|
|
of time..

|
|
|
|
If it's Hayes compatible, you might issue the command "AT&Q5".. If you
|
|
don't get ERROR back, It would probably be error-correcting, as this is
|
|
one of the commands related to the error-correcting modems. But if line
|
|
noise is causing garbage, I'd say it isn't.

Thanks for the info, James. I'd read all the replies to the original
|
|
post.. Really makes you proud to be part of a group that can respond
|
|
so well to a question.
|
|
|
|
If I had ever heard about the difference between the designations, it
|
|
had passed on to /nil. It's good to know.. as I'd said to 01Gen, I'd
|
|
wondered if my chip was less than the "C"s. Maybe so, but I suppose
|
|
that for the application, it would be of no concern, since my computer was
|
|
not stepped up in clock rate or anything.

From: AJMLFCO To: DBREEDING

David,
|
|
Regarding the "B", "C" in the various '09 cpu's, I recall that
|
|
Motorola used something like this:
|
|
|
|
68A09 was 1.0 Mhz.
|
|
68B09 was 2.0 Mhz.
|
|
|
|
If Hatachi followed the same numbering system their chips would
|
|
be as follows:
|
|
|
|
63A09 = 1.0 Mhz
|
|
63B09 = 2.0 Mhz
|
|
63C09 = 3.0 Mhz
|
|
|
|
I guess I can't prove any of this since I have long
|
|
since disposed of all of my 8-bit Motorola books.

Kermit's had that for about 8 years. (Now, if only Delphi could be

_gs_rdy() Question
|
|
From: DBREEDING To: ALL
|
|
|
|
Hey, Gang, I have a question. Why doesn't the following work?
|
|
|
|
I have tried this both on my OSK and CoCo, and get similar results.
|
|
The program as written will continue to loop, keeping getting the "AT"
|
|
and "OK", with some other gibberish. It seems to keep writing and reading
|
|
the modem.
|
|
|
|
If the while{} statement is not used, and The Alternate Method, commented
|
|
out, here, is used, if you write something to the modem, then you keep
|
|
getting a positive value returned from _gs_rdy(). If you do the for loop
|
|
without writing to the modem, you keep getting a -1 returned, which is
|
|
correct. But if something has been written, it looks like the pointer
|
|
is not getting updated, and, in fact, it seems that it keeps getting rewritten
|
|
to the serial port.. strange.. or am I overlooking something?
|
|
|
|
Note: this is the coco version, but, as I said, OSK seems to act the same
|
|
way. This here is just a test program.. but it still looks like it SHOULD
|
|
work. I've also tried time loop delays between reads, etc, but still
|
|
no luck.. I can't see why it keeps sending to the modem..
|
|
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
|

|
|
|
|
int mdm;
|
|

|

|

|

|
|
state, read( mdm,buf,state ) );

|

}

You need to zero out the path options. Under 3.2 you will use _gs_opt()
|
|
twice (one to change and one to save), zero out everything but the baud
|
|
rate and use _ss_opt to set the new options. Since switching to UCC for all

anything I can convenirntly send you.

New CD-i Stuff
|
|
From: BOISY To: ALL
|
|
|
|
Hi all,
|
|
|
|
I thought I'd let everyone know about my latest CD-i acquisitions :-)
|
|
|
|
o Naked Gun 33 1/3 -- The MPEG encoding on this movie is *VERY* good.
|
|
I was very impressed. Like other movies, this one came on two discs.
|
|
This movie has VIDEO CD across the bottom; I presume that this movie
|
|
would be able to be played in a dedicated Video CD player. A very
|
|
good job on this one.
|
|
|
|
o Sargon Chess -- Very very cool! I'm not a great chess player, but
|
|
thought this classic program would be cool to have. It has a very
|
|
nice tutorial on chess playing and strategy for beginners. There
|
|
are three modes: Novice, Beginner and Expert. You can play against
|
|
"Sargon" as white or black, or let Sargon play against himself. You
|
|
can also edit the board with pieces and locations you want. This
|
|
feature is great to examine strategy. Again, Sargon can play against
|
|
himself even in this mode.
|
|
|
|
You can select either a 2D or 3D chess perspective. 3D has several
|
|
chess sets (marble, wood, etc.) There's nice music or comment by
|
|
Sargon when making a move, or you can opt for silence. You also have
|
|
the option of timing moves and viewing elapsed or cumulative time, or
|
|
no time at all.
|
|
|
|
I ordered Clue (based on the Parker Brothers board game) but haven't gotten
|
|
it yet. As soon as I do I'll post my observations.

It's an amazing game. I personally don't go in much for games, but

I liked Burn:Cycle too... itis visually spetacualar, and quite entertaining,

BUT itwas not nearly dificult enough. I completed it in less then two evenings
|
|
of playing... I think it could have used more action shootouts, and more

puzzles init, with "wrong" turns that could lead you down the wrong

for the PowerPC. OS-9000 is Microware's "portable" version of OS-9, being
|
|
that is is written primarily (entirely?) in C. It hassome differences then
|
|
"normal" OS-9, but in general, it acts and feels like OS-9...

OS-9000, which is a lot like OS-9 but instead of being written in assembly
|
|
language is written mostly in C, has been ported to 68xxx and 80x86, for
|
|
x >= 3. Microware has committed to doing a version for the PowerPC.

Mac,
|
|
|
|
I think that would be called OS-9000. Very expensive from Microware Corp. as
|
|
I understand. I don't know of any word on the Power PC.

CDRom stuff

From: HAWKSOFT To: ALL

|
|
Hi All!
|
|
|
|
Just a quick note. My new utility for reading directories and copying files
|
|
from BOTH CDRom and CD-i discs (one utility) has been uploaded to delphi
|
|
and should be available soon. Requires a CDRom reader, driver, and decriptor
|
|
(anyone's should work, mine included).
|
|
|
|
BUT my CDRom File Manager (CDF) will make it obsolete very soon!!!!
|
|

Good grief! I've no idea how this msg sat from the 12th till the 21st
|
|
without getting my attention. Please accept my apologies. I have been online
|
|
many times in that time frame, but with the coco, not the amiga that captures
|
|
this stuff via a script. Its late tonite, but look in your mailbox late tomm.
|
|
nite for some helping hand. One thing bothers me tho, all the "boot" modules
|
|
I've played with have all been the same length, $12A bytes. I think that may
|
|
even be carved in fairly hard marble, alltho I can't think of a good reason
|
|
for it to be so. As far as putting track 34 back goes, the instructs in my
|
|
earlier upload called "krnlutils" should make that pretty easy. That upload
|
|
has several items thaT make moving kernals a piece of cake. That set of
|
|
utils, and my vfy14.lzh + vfy12.lzh give you enough tools to handle that.
|
|
And theres a set of instructs with each. I hope this helps, thats the
|
|
help in a nutshell.
|
|
Again, sorry I missed it, Cheers, Gene Heskett
