	This box was designed to house Voice Power Cards for use as an
automatated receptionists.  The "Touch '1' for Sales, touch '2' for
accounting, touch '3' for Service, touch ... etc." concept.  After the
3b1 was discontinued and the 'fire sale', the System ( 25 ? ) PBX group
had to go out and buy some of them back so that they could provide them
with their system.

Your right.  I did a little experimenting in this the other day and determined
this to be true.  However, thanks to you, I hopefully found a way to correct
it.  Then there is the problem of running programs that react in the same
way as 'exec $PROGRAM' in that the shell no longer exist when you get back to
it.  I can use fork (I think) to get around this.  I don't really think trap
will fix it.  Is there another way?  At least my main concern is solved.

Thanks to all who help me with the Packdisk.....
I haven't tried it yet, but I will after I get off line.
Now to other subjects.......

1)  I am trying to connect an AT&T 4024 modem to my 3b1 and I have had
    no such luck.  I am running UNIX 3.51m which has the fix for the 
    4024 but the problem seems to be in the dip switch settings.  If
    anyone else out there is using one of these, please email me about
    how the modem and the 3B1 are set up.  I have tried the different
    modes of AT&T Protocal at 2400 for the modem, but I can't seem to get
    it to work.

2)  I am looking for WD2010 chips to replace the WD1010 chip in the 3B1
    I need one for a friend, and hopefully 2 more for my other 3B1's.

3)  While here on Christmas Break, I connected both of the 3B1's via
    the serial port and a null modem connector.  I lhave set them
    up doing uucp transfers, but I would like to know if there is any
    way to configure a serial port to be Caller and Host instead of
    just one.  I Have to send mail from a certain 3B1 before I can
    get a connection via uucp.  I would like to be able to start a
    uucp transfer from either machine instead of just one.  I have
    type the uucp command on one machine and then mail from the other
    one or physically run the uucico program to get them to connect. 
    Any easier way to do this without reconfiguring bother serial
    ports?

Has anybody put together a set of 3b1 man pages?  I just grabbed
Brant Cheikes port of a 'catman' style man page reader from the
osu archives, and it works very nicely, though I did a slight
mod so it would use compress instead of pack.

But now I need some man pages.  I paid top $$ a few years ago
for the development set software, and it seems like they could
have includes a few disks of man pages!

Does anyone have 'real' 3b1 man pages, or something close, e.g.,
from a miniframe?  Does buying the foundation and development
sets from AT&T make it legal for me to scarf and install man
pages?

One of the 7300's major flaws is its power supply. In the world of switching
power supplies, this one's a real wimp. If possible, upgrade to a 3b1 power
supply. Alas, the 3b1 power supply is not THAT much more robust, as I have
had the same problems with large drives which require say, greater than 4amps
of current drain. I finally opted for an external drive supply, and take some
of the load off the main supply.

Anyone heard of a power supply retrofit for the 3b1/7300?

I could be totally off here, but if you were to type the interrupt key at
any time during $PROGRAM, the script would break.  $PROGRAM might still
finish (if it catches the interrupt), but the rest of your parent script
won't run.  You could use echo statements to verify this.

Then, if it turns out that that's the problem, just add
	trap "" 2
to the beginning, and
	trap 2
to the end.  That way, you're ignoring interrupts.

That "something" that happened may have been a static hit.  When this
happened to me, I had the exact opposite problem -- that is, the port could
send but not receive.  Replacing the "rs232 line receiver" chip fixed mine.

Perhaps your "rs232 line driver" (part number 1488) is fried.  Radio shack
has these for $1.29 (cat no. 276-2520), so you might as well give it a shot.

	The only dev manpages I know of is the programmers guide manual.
	They didn't have online manuals for the unixpc mainly because of

	Like I said if you BOUGHT the foundation set you SHOULD have manuals
	as in books manuals :-). Who care about online manuals, they are

I have written something like what you want.
It's called "win" and I wrote it to (hopefully) get through when there are
radio contests.  The thing is... I wrote it to use the voice power board.
If you don't have one of these, you'll need to try another approach.
Just email me your request if you're interested in "win.c".

I am in the process of doing a complete run through of MyBASIC 3.00 for
the Myarc Geneve 9640. I written many test programs (I was one of the
original beta-testers) for this language. If you have any programs you
would liked tested please put them on comp.sys.ti as an ascii file. It
can them be loaded into memory as a program ( a neat feature ). I want
to report any bugs back to Berry Miller asap.

Also, Steve Clarke has written a basic program that will convert all of
the sound routines in BASIC to an assembly sub-routine and Barry Traver
has written a basic program that will convert all graphic routines in
BASIC to an assembly sub-routine. They are both willing to give away
their programs with it's source code to anyone or group of people who
would like to continue the work and complete a BASIC COMPILER. With most
of the graphics and all of the sound work done, the 9640 has the memory
space to run a BASIC COMPILER! Is anyone out there willing to join this
project and add the necessary program to convert the I/O to assembly
from a basic program? 75% of the work is already done, these guys just
don't feel that they have the coding ability to take it to the next
step.

The RAMBO modification might be able to do it on the 4/A too!!!

A short background-
even if you are using the TI disk controller card, you can use double sided
drives for a total of 180K per diskette.  The TI controller will perform
double sided, it is only the TI disk drive that is single sided.

I have some double sided drives that will work either as a direct replacement
of the TI disk drive (drive #1 or DSK1) or as an addition of drive #2 (DSK2),
can be used either inside the PEBox or in an external case with their own
power supply.  In case anybody is interested, please let me know.
This will allow a lot of flexibility in many applications.  You can put
all your F'web or C'99 or TI-Writer files or a complete Infocom game etc.
on a single diskette and you won't have to swap disks so often.
I will include, with every drive that anybody might buy, a couple of diskettes
with PD programs that require DS drives (E.g., JP-Drawing, some PD assembly
music from Harrison Software).

Nobody has expressed interest so far in tarding for the MG/Triton Super Extended
BASIC and the CorComp controller (DS/DD 360K)...  Any takers?  :-)

You are mistaken, PICTURE TRANSFER allows you to
convert to G.I.F.!

The command for picture transfer is (GSAVE DSKx.(filename))
All you have to do is load in any of the three formats into PICTURE
TRANSFER and then save it out as a G.I.F. file. Of course you need a
MYARC GENEVE 9640 in order to use this very nice program.
