Jeremy,
|
|
It seems no one has replied to you, so I'll give it a shot:
|
|
I DON"T have a RamPack for sale, But (somewhere around here)
|
|
I DO have the Tony Distefano Book that describes how to build it.
|
|
As for the software, Can't help there, but maybe SYSop can point you to it.

OS-9 is a real time operating system. It is used quite a bit in industrial
|
|
controllers and
|
|
is apparently more popular with European manf than U.S. firms.
|
|
|
|
It runs primarily on Motorola processors (6800 series, 68000 series) but has
|
|
been
|
|
ported to Mac and Intel (PC).
|
|
|
|
The originator is Microware, Inc. in Des Moines, Iowa.

OS9 is a UNIX like multitasking operating system that will run on just about
|
|
any computer. It was the operating of the Space Shuttle (don't know if it still
|
|
is). I was first intruduced to it with the Radio Shack Color Computer 3. That
|
|
"toy" computer when ran under OS9 level 2 was a true interrupt driven
|
|
multitasking platform during the days of $2,000+ 8088 PC that couldn't even
|
|
dream of multitasking.
|
|
|
|
Today OS9 lives in PC's, Ataris and any other computer that wants to use it. It
|
|
was written by and still supported by MicroWare. The operating system is
|
|
primarily used in automated manufacturing environments, places that aren't
|
|
glamorus (like the Space Shuttle) but necessary.
|
|
|
|
That is an overview. Hopefully some techie will be able to fillin some of the
|
|
details 8-).

Hi all. As much as I would like to keep this account I have decided that it
|
|
was no longer worth $10 a month. There are so little activity in this forum
|
|
that I barely use 1 our of (one out of) the five hours per month. And
|
|
Compuserve is now moving all their services to the GUI based system that I
|
|
won't be able to access with eithor my CoCo or my Amiga.
|
|
|
|
I enjoyed my visit here to past few months and if this forum is still here
|
|
later in the year I may come back for a short visit.

Bill,
|
|
|
|
It's me, again.... :-)
|
|
|
|
I'm still fretting over dropping carrier in the midst of a telnet session.
|
|
|
|
I wonder if perhaps in your next release you might incluse an option whereby it
|
|
would issue a "bye" command on CIS, it already does on Delphi, and then close
|
|
the path without hanging up the modem, or possibly allow a logoff script?
|
|
|
|
I normally iniz my serial port in startup, and this will keep the connection
|
|
after the path is closed. With my first suggestion, I would be able to stay
|
|
online with the server, or with the former, could log off from the server
|
|
gracefully. I don't know how they handle dropped carriers, whether they
|
|
continue your time till a timeout or what.

Hallo Jost,
|
|
|
|
wir hatten bis jetzt die Palette von E5-E17 unter OS9 2.4 mit OS9TCP laufen.
|
|
Vor kurzem habe ich eine BAB-40 (Prozessor wie E17, aber andere Architektur)
|
|
mit Version 3.0 (3.0.1 oder 3.0.2 weis ich im Moment nicht) in Betrieb genommen
|
|
und hatte den gleichen Effekt, es ging nicht mit OS9TCP. Dafur funktioniert
|
|
aber ISP von MW bis jetzt ohne Probleme (OS9-Net von MW vertragt sich nicht mit
|
|
OS9-Net von ASS, aber wir setzen sowieso NFS ein). Info von Eltec war, OS9TCP
|
|
sei fur die Version 3.0 noch nicht freigegeben. Da NFS, TELNET und FTP
|
|
funktionierten, mein Programm (VME-PC-Kommunikation uber TCP-IP) auch mit
|
|
kleinen Anderungen lief (Verkleinerung der Puffergrose beim Ubertragen), habe
|
|
ich die Sache nicht mehr verfolgt. Ich nehme an, das irgendwann ein Update
|
|
kommt oder so. Ich verwende noch SS_SEVENT aber werde es demnachst mit SS_SSIG
|
|
versuchen, muste laut Dokumentation von MW funktionieren, aber man weis ja nie
|
|
;-).

Hi Alptekin,
|
|
|
|
Danke fur Deine Info.
|
|
|
|
Hab ich mir schon gedacht, das OS9TCP nicht mit OS-9 3.0. Dasselbe ist mir
|
|
schon mit verschiedenen seriellen und Grafiktreibern passiert. MW haben irgend
|
|
etwas in der Speicherverwaltung fur Geratetreiber verandert, so dass viele alte
|
|
Treiber nicht mehr funktionieren. Es ist aber erstaulich, das nach uber 2
|
|
Jahren, in denen 3.0 auf dem Markt ist, immer noch nicht alle anderen
|
|
nachgezogen haben, und ihre Software angepasst haben!
|
|
|
|
Wir haben von Dr.Keil ein patch fur den 3.0 Kernel bekommen, mit dem sich
|
|
einige Probleme erledigt haben. Nur dass send() bleibt leider immer noch
|
|
hangen. Naja.
