I have seen a few posts in this group where the poster refers to levels of
BIOS.  "AMI" or "Phoenix".  What is the main difference between the
different available levels?  And, what is the state of the art BIOS?  What
is the minimum level one should accept in a PC?  Sorry if these questions
sound naive...

Hi all..

Could any one provide me more information about V-COM computer system.
I looked up the Computer Shopper Guide and it has a GREAT
advertisment. The ultimate 486/50mhz EISA package has every thing that I
am looking for. My question is how reliable that V-COM company? are
you satified with their products, customer services, prices..etc?
 V-COM claimed that their Gold ProSpectra graphic card can produce
about 16.2million colors? and their 17" color has .26 dot pinch..etc.
Are these number correct? are you satisfied with the graphics? speeds?
They also said that their IDA controller is faster than others? and
the tower has a good cooling design and so forth? so are these facts
correct? E-mail please. Thank you.

there is no "best match" when you're talking about chipsets and bios
compatibility.  The hardware chipsets are always so radically different 
from one another that you can never simply "re-use" or substitute another
set of BIOS.

i hope you're not confused about what you need. your post indicates
an interest in CD(typically considered to be a compact disk, a 3 1/2"
media usually produced in quantity) and WORM(typically used to refer to
write once read many, and that generally a 5 1/4" form factor).
there is also a cd-wo that ocean (bering) in campbell, ca. is selling.

if you really mean CD, there are cd writer units(phillips, jvc, etc), but
software to drive them on some platforms may be achallenge to find.
if you meant WORM, i would suggest you consider multi function drives.
they will write worm or erasable(only the media knows/cares). units
of this flavor are available from hp, pioneer, etc. again software/os
choices should be made with care as standards are in a state of flux.

just my 2 cents worth...

Date: 13 Sep 92 09:45:13 GMT
Article-I.D.: CS.1992Sep13.094513.12019
Organization: Oregon State University, Computer Science Dept.

I have been scanning this and other groups for related information, and
I have yet to see anything that has helped me.  I am at the end of my
rope...

Anybody who can sort through this has my deepest admiration--it is a mess...

Currently I have:
- A 286 motherboard with AMI BIOS.
- A WD1003E Ethernet card (IRQ 2, IO address 0x340, RAM@D8000--all are
	configurable)
- 4 serial ports (shared IRQ 3,4, standard IO addresses.  I can live with only
	two ports, however)
- 2 parallel ports (IRQ 5 and 7--I can live with only one if need be).
- An el-cheapo 8-bit Oak VGA card (The docs are sparse--I don't know if IRQ 2
	is used here)
- A generic IDE controller with a ST157A drive.  The controller only has the
option of disabling the drive.  The IDE controller is also a floppy controller.

Ok (is anybody still reading this?), I would like to add a WD1004-27X
controller with an ST138R drive to this system.  I have been completely 
and utterly unsuccessful.  Even after removing the ethernet card, COM3+4, LPT2,
and disabling the IDE drive, I can't get the beast to see the drive.  I've
tried various combonations of drive numbers, BIOS settings, and jumper
settings, all with no luck.

If somebody could sort through this, keeping in mind that I can be flexible
with the other cards, I would greatly appreciate it.  I will buy the first to
respond the beverage of his or her choice if that person is ever in town. 

Thanks,
Dave

I will soon be getting a 486-33 and I am trying to settle on the best
graphics card for my needs.  I plan on running my new system under
OS/2 2.0, and I am a flight simulator freak, so I want fast graphics.
I do NOT plan on running Windows, so I will not benefit from cards
that only accellerate Windows.

I am currently looking at getting something in the Diamond
Speedstar/Stealth line, but I want more info.

Are all the "accelerated" graphics cards simply VGA cards with Windows
accelerators on them?  Are there any cards that accelerate graphics
overall?  Which ones are they?  I have heard rumors that the Diamond
Speedstar 24x will accelerate all graphics (not just Windows); is
this true?


Please email any info or suggestions.

Thanks

the nec 5fg has only a marginally larger viewable area than the 4fg.

a recent posting quoted the 4fg documentation as claiming a viewable
area of 210mm x 280mm, which is 13.8" diagonal, or about 91 sq. in.

a recent review in pc mag measured the 5fg at 15.3" diagonal, which
is about 112 sq. in., or about 23% larger than the 4fg.

are these numbers correct? if so, has anyone found the 5fg to be worth
the nearly 2X difference in price over the 4fg? if so, is it because
you're running it at 1280x1024, which isn't available on the 4fg?

Make sure that everything is plugged in like the disk drives and stuff

I remember having that problem, but I can't remember specifically what

I have had a few problems with the stealth driver.  Try the s3 driver:

Subject: How to change sectors-per-cluster?
Date: 13 Sep 92 20:29:58 GMT
Organization: U of Arizona CS Dept, Tucson

My hard disk is formatted with 4-sector (2048-byte) clusters.  I want
to use 16-sector (8192-byte) clusters.  How can I change it?

The details:
I've just received a new Compudyne 486-33 notebook, with a 124MB hard disk.
That's not quite enough for my needs (it's the largest disk they had), so
I planned to install Stacker 2.0.  Trouble is, Stacker only works with
16-sector clusters (except for an XT fix that doesn't apply), and the
notebook's hard disk is setup with 4-sector clusters.  So I need to
change something.  The BIOS is Phoenix.  I'm not sure what kind of disk
drive I've got.  The BIOS came with it configured type 23: 934 cyl,
16 hds, 17 sec, no pre-comp or landing zone.  Norton reports the same,
except says there are only 933 cylinders.

I've re-formated the disk, and even re-partitioned the drive, but
it always comes up with 2K-sized clusters.  Apparently, I'm missing
something.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Why won't the BIOS care?  Wouldn't any timing loops it may have run at the
cpu speed (i.e. 66 mhz)?  Such a loop is quite likely to fit in the on-chip
cache.

Add to those choices:
	ULSI Systems
	Chips and Technology

A couple of PC vendor chains (CompUSA [new] and CompuAdd) sell a coprocessor
by ULSI Systems, at a much lower price than Intel, slightly lower than
Chips and Technology, Cyrix or IIT.  Has anyone had experience with the
ULSI chip?  Or with the Chips and Tech. chip?  Is the low price a warning?
What about functionality?  Binary compatibility?  Speed?
The ULSI chip has "copyright 1989" in its documentation, so it may be
relatively new.

Any info. greatly appreciated, thanks.
