David,
|
|
That news about development of OS-9 for the visually impaired
|
|
is really exciting. Would there be any objection to posting the
|
|
addresses and info on the company that's doing the development (without
|
|
of course, doing any "solicitation" in the echo)?

Clyde,

Certainly you can post anykind of info. Main thing is posting
|
|
commercial adds and pricing that is frowned on. However announcements
|
|
of any new software/hardware related to the MM/1 is welcomed. Just so
|
|
long as prices are not quoted. It is up to the vendor to contact the
|
|
potential customer or the customer to contact vendor direct.
|
|
Personal forsale and wanted msgs are permitted as long as a seller
|
|
at least includes an asking price and his tel. number.

Subject : Moving to a minitower case
|
|
Date : 95/01/05 18:17:16
|
|
|
|
Recent experience (moving to a new hard drive) tells me that life would
|
|
be a lot easier with a tower/minitower case, so that even a klutz such
|
|
as myself could insert/remove devices with minimal disturbance to the
|
|
other stuff in the case. So...once I add up how many of how big devices
|
|
I expect to end up with, and measure the slot in the desk that's
|
|
intended to hold such cases, I'm going to order one.
|
|
|
|
Here's the thing: I also plan to set up to run UUCP here shortly, and
|
|
once I do that, it means that to be a good boy I need to have my system
|
|
up reliably at night to keep batched news and mail from accumulating on
|
|
the site nice enough to feed me. (Hmmm...perhaps "audrey2" would be a
|
|
good name... :-) So, the plan is to get everything prepared, holes
|
|
drilled and all, so that the actual move can take place in a jiffy and
|
|
the nighttime scheduled uucicos can occur undisturbed.
|
|
|
|
So...any advice on how to do this would be welcome. Of particular use
|
|
would be the info on the spacing of holes for the standoff insulators
|
|
that support the boards, the spacing between the boards, any stuff I
|
|
need to look out for in buying a case, will I need to snarf ribbon cable
|
|
and connectors to extend paddleboard cables, how to extend non
|
|
paddleboard connectors. (Am I overlooking anything? :-)
|
|
|
|
Thanks!

Subject : RiBBS_OSK beta release
|
|
Date : 95/01/06 12:00:34
|
|
|
|
|
|
For all those that have expressed an interest in getting the
|
|
RiBBS_OSK beta disk, it is ready !.
|
|
|
|
To get this BBS software just send me a 3.5" floppy, preferably
|
|
formatted for 5920 sectors (dmode sct=37, t0s=37). In a returnable
|
|
mailer with return postage included (I am retired and have limited
|
|
income). It is currently working on the MM/1 w/3 meg mem. 68070 CPU
|
|
and Kwindows specific. Current testing is with the windio53 but also
|
|
works with windio52.
|
|
|
|
John A Donaldson is the programmer and Randy Wilson is doing the
|
|
assem. parts. Calvin Dodge and myself are the only beta sysops so far.
|
|
|
|
Future plans are for converting to C and it will become a commercial
|
|
package by Blackhawk Enterprises. It should also be able to incorporate
|
|
the latest Fido compatable mailers when converted to C. Additionally
|
|
it will be able to incorporate a shell out to the UUCP login which is
|
|
currently working on the MM/1 (using it now).
|
|
|
|
'RiBBS to Go' for the CoCo OS9 is also available from me. If interested
|
|
send me E-Mail.
|
|
|
|
Warren Hrach, RiBBS/RiBBS_OSK beta sysop.

David,
|
|
Yes, you have the program so far. I have been spending all my time
|
|
on that screen print program, and havn't done anything more with the
|
|
Battleship game. Now that I have the screen print working, I'll get
|
|
back on Battleship. Any ideas on things you would like to see in the
|
|
program ? I would really like to add sound effects to it, but I will
|
|
have to search around for some battle sounds already recorded, I have
|
|
some sound effect cd's, but I wasn't getting clean, noise free copies
|
|
when trying to record them on my MM/1.

To add : Clyde - I never received the original message here - just
|
|
Warren's reply, so it seems apparent we have another FidoFault in action.
|
|
The company responsible for the development is BlackHawk Enterprises, Inc.
|
|
We are working in conjuction with the Computer Science Department of
|
|
Oklahoma State University in Stillwater Oklahoma. Dr. Blayne Mayfield is
|
|
the department head. You may diseminate this information where and when
|
|
you please, and I am looking for other investors.
|
|
|
|
Thanks!

David,
|
|
I'm replying again to this message about developing OS-9 for
|
|
physically challenged people. OS-9 developers along this line should
|
|
take a look at the group of programs in the DOS world called AccessDOS,
|
|
which include very useful utilities for people with hearing or movement
|
|
impairments. Included in this package are all three Dvorak keyboard
|
|
templates, left-handed, right-handed and two-handed, to be used with
|
|
the MS-DOS KEYB.COM .
|
|
|
|
<begging and pleading mode on>
|
|
|
|
PLEASE pass along this challenge to developers to write an OS-9
|
|
driver, or program, that would allow command-line configuration of
|
|
"standard" hardware in the setup file, and also specific keyboard input
|
|
that would switch the console keyboard from the remapped arrangement
|
|
back to the Sholes ("standard Qwerty") arrangement. The DOS Dvorak.SYS
|
|
does this with Ctrl/Alt/F1 = back to Qwerty; Ctrl/Alt/F2 = Dvorak.
|
|
From within DOS, this free remapper works better than some
|
|
shareware programs that want registration, and on machines that belong
|
|
to me but that a non-Dvorak typist might need to type on, my present
|
|
KeyTronic KB101Plus Professional Series with Dvorak Keyboard firmware
|
|
is a BEAR to get in and twiddle the dipswitches. (Brian White's
|
|
KeyTime keyboard with a hardware hot-button was much nicer.)
|
|
|
|
I can't (won't) switch back, and I really NEED the remapper
|
|
programs.
|
|
<begging and pleading mode off>
|
|
|
|
Fooey, outta time!
