I have an upgradeable 386/486 motherboard that has one "EISA-local bus"
slot, and wonder if this is supported by anyone besides the manufacturer.
It's an OPTI-chipset based board, with AMI UNICHIP (U4800) bios.
  Anyone know where to get (if possible) third-party boards?

Does there exist a card or external serial device that will take the

I am looking for a cheap solution for multiple PC's.  If you know of

I recently resubscribed to PC Magazine, and after having received the
January 26 issue, I must ask myself why.  The columnists are total
morons, the hardware reviews are wrong, self-contradictory and biased,
and the ads are not as good or plentiful as the Computer Shopper.

Seriously:
Page 164: data for G2000 wrong... but page 193 its correct.
Page 193: G2000 as Editors choice, but the review was mediocre and the
chart nothing special.  The stuff they picked on, e.g., 64 kB cache is
a simple and cheap problem to fix.
Page 232: Tangent has 4 dots for upgradability, but the review
specifically says it has limited upgradability.

Need I go on?  As these people on drugs or just plain stupid?
Needless to say, of course, that these "reviews" are written so far
ahead of press time, that by the time htey come out, most companies
have changed their product line. 

Also, how about this.  The G2000 and the TriStar are basically
identical machines.  They have the same graphics card and the same
mother board.  So, why do they show different performance figures?
Also, why do none of the reviews shows a WinMark benchmark for the ATI
VLB of greater than 22 when it is advertised as 28 and people here
have reported 29+? 

Sorry about the tirade.  However, I know that there are at least a 
dozen readers of this bboard who could team up to produce a vastly
superior journal.

First off, is it correct to call the HP Deskjet an inkjet printer?

What I'd like to know is if these printers use indelible ink now yet?
I had heard that the ink tends to run if it gets wet or can just be
smudged easily.  

I'd like to be able to get a printer that can give me near-laser
quality but be affordable.

  I have a Vega 486 motherboard with a new version of AMI BIOS. One
selection in the setup program is "Bus Clock Selection", with the
possibilities of 0-7, and AUTO. Apparently this is a new "feature" of
the bios since it is not, along with a few other things, documented
in the manual. What does it do? I seem to get slightly differing
winmark and disk i/o ratings so I assume it is changing the bus speed
from 8.33 Mhz upwards. But does anyone know which clock ratings are
associated with which number 0-7? Or I am completely off the mark?
Thanks.

It specifically says that this slot is for a NEC modem card.

Does anyone know if this is actually a proprietary slot? If so,

Hello.  I have a NEATsx 386sx/16MHz motherboard that uses a
combination of DRAMS and SIPP memory cartridges.  I have it configured
with 4 1Meg/80ns SIPP cartridges.

My situation: I would like to upgrade the motherboard to something
that's a little faster, but I don't think I'll have enough money to
buy a motherboard and new memory.

Question 1: Are there motherboards (386DX/any 486) that use SIPP
cartridges that I might be able to purchase?

Question 2: If not, can I remove the pins from my SIPP's and use them
as SIMM's?

Thanks a million!

Please forgive any technical blunders, I'm a systems guy, not a hardware
guy.  I've done a lot of testing of SCSI, ESDI, IDE, Etc.  My conclusion
is that right now, SCSI-II is pretty much the hottest thing going.  This
conclusion is not from any theoretical study of the standards, but from
real-world observed performance.  The reality is that the best hard drives
are all SCSI hard drives right now.  I'm thinking of 5400 RPM high transfer
rate drives like the Quantum Barracuda series.  When I can get a 3 1/2"
2 GB, 8ms drive, I don't ask too many questions about why it's so blindingly
fast.  On the controller side, SCSI wins again.  My current mainstream
favorite controller is the DPT SmartCache EISA SCSI controller.  Put a Meg
or two of Cache on that puppy and it even makes DOS fast.  I haven't had
any experience with local bus SCSI yet, but I'm assuming it will be even
faster.

So if speed is your concern, I'd say SCSI is your answer.

How about

comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.components
comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.systems

It seems that most threads discuss complete systems (should I buy Gatenorth or
SOEZ?) or various questions about components (modems, drives, monitors, etc.)
I think that special groups for only one kind of component would be a bit
restrictive. I might also suggest dropping the .ibm.pc and replacing it with
.pc (or even .intel).

     No, both the 1542A and 1542B are DMA bus-mastering cards.  I
imagine that Adaptec came out with a "B" card because it was cheaper to
produce (hence, more profits).  I've heard that a 1542C is in the works,
but I haven't heard much about it.

     The cards (1542A vs 1542B) are not 100% identical, though.  They're
the same as far as MSDOS is concerned, but they're not 100% hardware
compatible.  For example, an old version of BSD368 (a PC Unix) would not
boot from a 1542A, due to some minor difference.

I have a Scanman 256/Logitech.  If you want to do OCR, don't bother with

	I have one. In general I am satisfied with it. However, because of the
coating to cut down glare, the color is not as vivid as the NEC 3FGX. If I were
to buy again, I definitely will go with NEC for about $70.00 more. The coating
gave the images a dull appearance as compared with the much more livelier
NEC 3FGX. The best thing is to go to local shop to have a look and compare it
yourself.

I missed the earlier postings in this, so if I'm duping other suggestions,
please be gentle with me.....

I've been using a tape drive with dcc2120 tapes for some time now, and
have also had occassions with high error rates.  A few things to watch for:

1) MAKE SURE THE TAPE DRIVE is grounded!  LOTS of static is developed as
the tape runs past the heads, and this will cause all sorts of nastiy
things to happen.

2) you can probably set the software to do a tape/disk comparison
automatically after it does the backup.

  We have 2 old IOMEGA 20MB removable cartridge drives in our lab.

They are SCSI interfaced and use IOMEGA Host Adapters. I've tried to

attach those drives to Adaptec 1542 SCSI adapter and they can be sensed.

But we have only those drivers from IOMEGA originally.

So I wnat to know if there are any drivers for IOMEGA with Adaptec or

SmartConnex SCSI or SCSI-2 adapters? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
