Actually it isn't so bad... 60ns DRAM have a page mode access of 30ns,
Since the 0ws cycle has about 40ns of time available, it is possible
that some designs might try for 0ws page mode (although 1ws is more
realistic).  Using interleaved memory and burst mode (486) it is
possible to do the x-2-2-2 cycles without much difficulty.

UPDATE ...

I found that by disabling the 32-bit fast disk-access method in
Windows 3.1, the problem above "went away".  I guess the controller
is NOT 100% compatible with the 32-bit disk option (yet).  I haven't
really noticed any great performance increase with the option anyway
so that's no big deal to me.

Look for another UPDATE post hopefully this week regarding my initial
problem:  failures of buffer cache flushing after an XCOPY.

  Did you try messing with the tvgacrtc program?  My cheapo trident
8900 came with it and it allows you to set vertical spacing and
other settings for individual resolutions.  Much better than the

  I'm using a Viewsonic 6 with my card and am VERY pleased.  I run

Subject: AMI CMOS Setup Questions
Date: 8 Jan 93 10:04:23 -0400
Organization: Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

In the AMI BIOS SETUP PROGRAM - ADVANCED CHIPSET SETUP, please explain what 
these configurable parameters are supposed to do on my 486DX/33MHz system:

								CURRENT
PARAMETER			OPTIONS				SETTING
------------------------------------------------------------------------

DMA Address/Data Hold Time	1-2T, 2-3T			1-2T

AT BUS Clock Select		CPUCLK/2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8		CPUCLK/4

I/O Recovery Time Delay		2, 4, 8, 12BCLK			4BCLK

Cache Read Hit Burst		2-1-1-1, 3-1-1-1, 		3-2-2-2
				3-2-2-2

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have figured out most of the other CMOS settings, but these are still
somewhat elusive to me.  I believe that AT BUS Clock Select affects the
speed of the AT BUS by dividing the master clock frequency by the selected
parameter, eg, a 33MHz system would have a BUS speed of 11MHz with an AT
BUS Clock Select setting of CPUCLK/3.  Is it adviseable to increase the
AT BUS speed beyond the standard 8MHz?  Any advice, anecdotes and other
pertinent information would be greatly appreciated.

As a final query, is it adviseable to enable memory remapping if my system
has more than 1Mb of RAM?  I have 4Mb.  My crappy manual says "no", but does
not explain why.  I have enabled it and acquired an additional 256kb of
extended memory.  I assume that the other 128kb (384k-256k=128k) is in use
as shadow ROM which is enabled also.  I have experienced intermittent/random
crashes at times and I am wondering if these are related to memory mapping?

Thanks...Francis

Gidday all,

I was wondering controls the speed the floppy drives are accessed. Ever
since I changed my motherboard from 386DX-33 to a 486DX2-50, I noticed
that it takes me 10 sec. to get a response from a simple dir/w a: or a:.
My motherboard is a UMC chipset, I don't think it's the floppy/hdd
controller because I haven't changed it (from my 386DX - floppy access
there was fast!!). Are there any settings I can do in the AMI BIOS to
speed this up??

Another question, what's "Auto Configuration" from Advance Chipset Setup
of my BIOS?? If I disable it, my CPU runs much faster, but has problems
warm/cold booting.

Any info is greatly appreciated...

	The method for growing Si wafers is called the Czochralski process,
commonly abbreviated as the CZ (pronounced see-zee) process.  In this       
technique, a small seed crystal of a certain orientation is placed at the 
end of a mechanism that dips it into a melt of Si and the appropriate dopants
and slowly raises it while turning it all the time.  This produces a long 
cylindrical ingot of Si, which is then sliced into thin wafers, polished
and sent to the epitaxial process.  Here, a thin epitaxial layer, typically
just a few microns thick is grown on the wafer by vapor phase epitaxy.
	This is the start material for a wafer production line.  I would 
recommend the book "VLSI Technology" by Simon Sze.  It explains the various
steps in chip production, like epitaxy, diffusion, lithography, etch and
thin film deposition very well, and is eminently readable.

I think the price on the card is about $25 or $30.  And if you plan on playing games, some sound cards such as the Soundblaster Pro have a built-in joystick port.

	If they're still shipping with the WD multi-port HD controller, the 
game port is built in. You just need to have them send you a joystick connector
to plug into the card and you're set. You could also probably pick one up at
a decent parts store for about a buck. If none of these workd, I'd just go

I have one and agree with just about everything said in the PC MAG review of
it.  Monitor judgments are very subjective, and unfortunately, often vary from
sample to sample of one monitor brand and model.  Often, the image quality is
greatly affected from such trivial thinggs as rough handling in shipment.

Please, please, please:

One bank, in a 286, is only 16 bits wide, so he could do it if he had simms or

This brings up a question.  Why is it that even on those systems that allow
recovery of some of the unused shadow ram, they can never readdress more than
256K?  This is curious because there is only 96K of ROMs to shadow on most
systems (C000-C7FF and F000-FFFF). 384K - 96K = 288K.  What happens to the 
other 32K?

I have an old CDC Wren V model 94186-383H ESDI interface, and I would like 
to use it as a second drive. Therfore, which jumper have be to set to get 
drive #1 instead of 0.

Looking underneath the drive, there is 2 sets of jumpers. One at the left of 
the terminators resistance and a second one at the right just underneath the 
power connection.
                                  -------
                                / * * * * \ power connection
                                ----------
    ||||| ............   ||||||| 
     ^ ^  Ter. Res.            ^

^ = jumper ON

Thanks in advance.
