US$8,000 ? I think that this is not the case. Consider contacting a
distributor of the product for a quote. $8000 sounds like 3 floating

Until this standardization effort is complete, I wouldn't hope for too

To be honest, I like Xerox Imaging Systems' ScanWorX, but the
price tag of $14,000 is still a bit too expensive (I heard $8,000
for the software alone).
And the apparent alternative seems to be Aurora's OCR which I heard
over the telephone uses Carrera's engine. Has anyone heard or experienced
any OCR based on that engine? I heard it is widely used on PC and Mac
platforms. Any info about its accuracy is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

If you are not bound to develop this driver yourself, I suggest you
get Brixton's BrxBYTDVR (or BrxBITDVR for bit-synch protocols). The drivers
cost $950 each, single license.

You can use NDIS (see advanced installation options in the manual) instead. It will
eat some more memory, but there are no LLDK (Link Level Drivers) for other cards
than the ones listed in NFSCONF available at this time.

>Does anyone know where to get it ( via ftp or so ? ).

The files needed for NDIS (protocol.ini,elnk3.dos) are on the 3C509 floppy :

(read slash as backslash)  /mslanman.dos/drivers/ethernet/elnk3

With PCNFS 4.0 refer to the QUIKNDIS diskette for more info on NDIS and how to do
a quick installation.

  No it won't run 4.1.3. Not only because SUN says so, but it gives a
  'data exception' when starting the generic 4m kernel after booting off
  the 4.1.3 CD. It runs the boot program OK though, both from CD and from
  network.

Would someone elaborate on this?  We haven't upgraded to Solaris 2.*,

I believe that is not quite correct.  Sun will only sell and
support Solaris 2.1 for the 'Classic.  	I don't believe that it
will not run SunOS 4.x (Solaris 1.x).  In any case I am a bit
cheesed off by the fact that all the mags are touting the SPARClassic
as a "fully-configured" system.  It damn well isn't, if Solaris 2.x
is the only thing that Sun will "allow" it to run.

You can call a sun FE and get one for $55.00 or you can order one from 
Arrow Electronics for about $10


unfortunately arrow has a rather large minimum order.

| In my experience, the power-up diags will almost *never* detect bad memory.

But the diags WILL detect an improperly-seated SIMM module, which is the extent
of problems I've ever found with SIMMs.

One of the funniest (depending on point of view :-) problems with SIMMs I've
seen happened to a colleague who pushed his SIMMs in without checking if the
sockets were clean ... so he inadvertently squished a spider ("bug" :-) into
the socket.  Yucky-poo.

	/corp/apps/share/frame.3.0.x/bin/bin.sun4/maker3X.exe: statically linked

As it's statically linked, it won't work on 5.x - being statically
linked, it has the library routines that it calls bound into its
executable image, which means that when it tries to execute a system
call, it does a trap into the kernel; unfortunately, the 5.x kernel
doesn't understand most 4.x system calls, so it blows up.

Had it been dynamically linked with "libc", it would have executed code
from the "libc" shared library, rather than doing the trap itself; the
code in the appropriate binary-compatibility shared library in 5.x makes
system calls and other calls appropriate when running under a 5.x
kernel, so it is more likely to work.

Specifically, are they

- 4x9?		(I assume so; as opposed to 4x8)
- 70ns?		(Faster, same speed or slower?)
- 36 pin?	(Or 32 pin or ?? pin?)
- 9 chip or 3?	(I assume 9 chip)

Another question; this motherboard supplies two serial ports via 8-pin DIN
connectors instead of standard 25-pin DB connectors.  I bought a cable at a
Mac dealer that has the right connectors, i.e. male DIN to male DB-25, and it
purports to "support hardware flow control", but when I hook it up to my
Telebit, the WorldBlazer never sees DTR.  This sucks big time, as it prevents
the ability to change WB settings on the fly and have them reset when the
connection (and DTR) is dropped, as well as other nasties like not dropping
out of "tip" on connection close, and (the worst) the potential for a program
that uses the port to quit, perhaps due to timeout, while the connection itself
(i.e., CD still present) stays on.  I fear leaving home in case I return to
find the modem still connected and a humoungous phone bill the next month ...

What signals are presented on the serial port DIN connector pins on IPCs?

There seems to be several different versions of Frame out there... we run
3.1X here, and it is definitely dynamically linked:

% file /usr/frame/bin/bin.sun4/maker3X.exe
/usr/frame/bin/bin.sun4/maker3X.exe:    sparc demand paged dynamically linked executable
% ldd /usr/frame/bin/bin.sun4/maker3X.exe
        -lc.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1.7
        -ldl.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1.0

>Yup.  3.1a definitely runs under Solaris 2.  3.0 doesn't.

Then they presumably fixed the ".wrapper" script as well, to realize
that something may be a Sun even if it doesn't have "/bin/arch", and to
appropriately munge the result of "uname -m" in Solaris 2.x ("uname -m"
returns the kernel architecture, not the application architecture, so if
you try running the 3.0x "maker", it whines about not finding
"$FMHOME/bin/bin.sun4c" or whatever).

Another reason to upgrade to 3.1, I guess....
