For the benefit of you folks that are not on AFS, the X version (Andrew
implementation) of zephyr has  a source tree >8.6 Megabytes.  Conversion
to NeXTStep may be worthwhile, but will most likely be extremely
non-trivial.


Now, why can we simply write a 10 line program that uses NXRunAlertPanel
to run a alert-panel with an OK button, and then arrange to have it run
remotely on whatever machine you wish it run on...  (Net-gurus, is there
any way to have inetd run it on demand?  Or would we need a daemon
process on each machine?)  (For that matter, will it (the daemon or
whatever process) need to be owned by the current user to access the
workspace?)

I have no such user.  I deleted the 'me' user, but I believe

Hello,

I got a Mikropolis disk model "Mikrodisk 1030" 
(Drive type: MICROP 1598-15MD1066701).

How I could attach it to NeXT and say builddisk to it ?
What should I to do ? If you have attached the same kind of disk to NeXT  
or you know how to do it, could you help me. Thank you.

It seems to be formatted and scsimodes says:
	SCSI information for /dev/rsd1a
	Drive type: MICROP 1598-15MD1066701
	512 bytes per sector
	71 sectors per track
	15 tracks per cylinder
	1928 cylinder per volume (including spare cylinders)
	8 spare sectors per cylinder
	45 alternate tracks per volume
	2031553 usable sectors on volume

I have no disktab entry for it.
What kind disktab entry should I build for it ?
Should I do something more ?

As you see I am a novice in these kind of thing.

Hi all!

We got our 3.0 cube yesterday (all other machines are still running
2.1) and I noticed the following problem: If you try to mount the
3.0 machine's disk from a 2.1 host using the 'net' option, the 2.1
host will hang till rebooted, as soon as the mount directory in
/Net is accessed the first time. If you try to mount manually (as
opposed to mounting at startup) by saying 'mount -o net moolah:/ /Net'
it will keep trying until interrupted by ^C.
The export parameters are:
/       -access=fml,root=cabbage:moolah:ruble:wampum
'fml' is a netgroup containing the four NeXTs and a bunch of PCs.
We are using pcnfsd (the one that comes with PC-NFS, not NeXT's)
and NetInfo (not NIS). All the 2.1 machines are using the same mount
and export parameters without any problems. Mounting the 2.1 hosts
from the 3.0 host works too.

Has anybody noticed something similar and found a fix?

Thanks,

I got few ansers. Thank you all.
It was so simpel !!
Now it works fine.

Here is David Apfelbaum's answer:

====
Attach it to the NeXT (while the NeXT is powered down!!!), boot the
NeXT, log in, the workspace should try to auto-mount it.  If it needs to
be initialized the workspace will offer to initialize it for you -- you
say YES.  You can also select the disk and run builddisk on it.  No big
deal.  (If no disktab entry exists, one is automatically figured out
(for SCSI disks only!))

Problems arise when this system doesn't work.  (Usually bad terminators
on the SCSI cables, or a hardware incompatibility problem...)  If this
occurs, please send another post, or email me...

Good luck.

ZyXEL had a few ROM versions that didnt fax correctly with NeXT computers.
If you are a NeXT owner, they will provide a free ROM upgrade (I believe) but
even if not free, its cheap (around $25).
you need version 5.01 or higher.
use the ati command to find out the ROM version.
call tech support at (714)693-0705 in the US for the upgrade

It produces the startup messages next to the picture of the

It also does the necessary localization of the message (though on my

The '*' mark the line breaks. I don't know the meaning of the options.

Help! I seem to have a problem. I just upgraded to 3.0 last week, and now  
HostManager.app and UserManager.app do not work. They start to launch but die  
near the end. The only thing that I can think of is that my SLIP software (BTW,  
I'm using Marble's Teleconnect) is causing the problem. When you configure the  
SLIP you use a Non-NetInfo network. So since NetInfo is disable on my machine,  
would that cause the problem?

Also, when I launce NetInfoManager.app it brings up my SLIP connection. Why?

If anybody has any ideas or hints; drop me a line.
All help is greatly appreciated.

Do some timings, then a fresh virgin install, and tell us all how
much difference it makes.
If "Upgrade" causes slowness, then I would rather do it the hard way.

I just doubleclicked this in 2.1 and then clicked on "Make".
Boom! There I was looking at a Login window.
Perhaps that is why it is gone.

Using "Workspace" in 2.1, with the new CDROM driver and a Sun CDROM drive,
I copied the Q2 1992 Demo CDROM to an empty hard disk.
Both locally attached. After the copy:
/dev/rsd3h            630000  630000       0   100%    /Q2_92_2 (CDROM)
/dev/sd1a             667719  292099  308848    49%    /Q2_92   (HD)

It took 4 1/4 hours for the actual copy to start,
and another 20 hours before it was finished.
This does seem a tad slow.

I have used the command line to start up root apps such

No, you don't have to make a note of anything.  That information also
goes into a special file at the end of the tar file, and that information
is used automatically by gnutar to rename all the mangled names to their
correct, > 100 character names.

The gnutar in 3.0 is an older version, and it is true that the newer
versions work better, since they store that name closer to the file
instead of at the end of the tar file, which facilitates extracting
individual files.  But for entire archive creation and extraction, the
gnutar in 3.0 works for long names.

carefully convert the Internet style address user@site to UUCP style, in my

error prone.  I also sometimes don't get the chance to convert, for example,  
if I try to regester a program by email or if I run a program that emails  
something back to the author (I'm thinking here of the results from running  
the PsyLog program, NOT clandestine usage reports).

Is this standard procedure or is there something that I can do to get the  
address conversion to be applied, when necessary, automagically?

Would procuring an Internet style address for this site help?

I'm willing the RTFM if someone would tell me what FM to read! :-)

the fax itself is crippled, to be exact: it seems to be downscaled with

I have tried to set NXMeassurementUnit to Inches and Centimeters but that

Has anonye an idea, what I'm doing wrong or what's going on?

I posted 3 weeks ago a question to the net concerning the question why my NeXT

If you have a program installed which works with Mac floppies itself (like  
Floppy Works or Executor) then these programs disable the Mac floppy read  
capability under system 3.0. They have to do that, because otherwise the  
workspace mounts the floppy, before it is accessible to the program itself.If  
you have the same problem, check the /usr/filesystems.

Yes.  Don't use it unless you have to.  There are all kinds of bugs in it

a) Try telneting in and cd'ing to /Net/Appleshare, then to a Appleshar server.
The person working on the console at the time will get a box asking for a user
id and password for it.

b) Anyone can access the the Appleshare volume once mounted.  All they would
have to do is chown the top level dir to the person mounting the files, and
set the permissions on the dir, and this wouldn't be as bad a problem.

c) It keeps the Appleshare volume mounted after the user logs off.

e) It seems to have some problems with unmounting Appleshare volumes.  It
would claim I was still using a volume, when I wasn't.  Only solution was to
reboot the NeXT.

d) I have yet to be able to set up an Appleshare Printer using PrintManager.
Everytime I try and get a list of Appleshare Printers, it goes into La-La land
and spins the cursor until I kill it (I think 30 minutes was enough time)

That's what I can think of, off the top of my head.  Phase I Appletalk Network,
not real large, but once we go Phase II it will be huge as we connect to the
rest of the company...
