 According to the November 1992 issue of Byte which I just bought, at least
the PS/Valuepoint 386SLC model uses a Cirrus 5422 chip for the video.
This same chip is used by AST and Digital for their low priced models.

 I've never heard of this Cirrus chip, but it's reported by Byte as being
fairly fast.  Gave speeds similar to the Compaq 386/33, which I believe
uses the Tseng ET4000.

 Also the Byte article did not mention if they use this same Cirrus chip
in the uppper end 486 PS/Valuepoint models.  It is quite possible that they
do use a Tseng ET4000, which would explain why IBM wrote the drivers for
OS/2 first for the Tseng.  OS/2 does not come with the 386 model, only
the 486 model.(because of RAM, not processor speed).


We're going to be submitting an order for a 486/33 PS Valuepoint with the
15" flat screen monitor this week.  I will have a better idea of what's
actually in the computer when we receive it.  I'll post a summary at that time.

Date: Sat, 21 Nov 1992 21:37:30 GMT

I'm trying to resurrect a stripped-out GRiD 386DX/16 without a manual or
any other clue.  Of the original system, I have only the case, PS,
passive MB, processor and memory.  No video card, no keyboard, no
manual.

At power-up with a monochrome board installed I get low-pitched beep
code as follows: 1-3-3, pitch and duration seem constant.  The monitor
never displays even a hardware cursor.

Same code reports with mono board removed.

I do not see any switches on the motherboard, but there are many
jumpers.

If you have data for this system, could you e-mail the jumper settings
please?  Also, if you know what that code means, I'd like to know.

Can anyone tell me if the tiny keyboard jack is standard?  Could I use
an adaptor (PC to PS/2) to connect a keyboard?

Also, could this BIOS be password-protected?  If so, what do I do to
reset the CMOS?

Any hints about dealing with GRiD would also be welcome.

Thanks for reading my request and for any help yoou can give.

That's a hard question to answer without knowing what you're powering!
The CPU board, especially if it's a very recent one, should use far
less than 150 watts (60 watts would be on the high side for a lot of
new boards).  But you've undoubtedly got memory, disk drives, and
a number of peripherals plugged in too.  I have some 10 mb hard
drives that use more current than much more recent 1.2 gb drives.
You need to look at the specs for all the devices in your machine,
add up the worst case current draw, and take it from there.

Quickly put, SVGA is a dumb frame buffer approach to video.  You put more
memory out there on the card, some additional modes on your chip and call
it SVGA.  There's some move in the industry to try and standardize these
modes, but right now there's not much standardization.

XGA is a coprocessed video card, which means that there's some additional
support for processing graphics primatives.  This offloads some of the CPU
load and allows for a larger utilization of the system bus by the processor,
in general.  It's also more expandable within the standard (for example, 
right now our chip allows up to 4Mbytes of VRAM on a card, but nobody has
made a commercial version with more than 1MB that I'm aware of).

There's a book "Power Programming the XGA" that goes into more depth if
you want it.

This is not a memory error!!!
I have the same location appearing with trap 000d and 0006 when a boot sometimes
I had two different types of memory 3 chip and 9 chip simms.  I thought this
was my problem, but I just upgraded to 16 Megs of memory all the same type of
memory and I am still geting the same error when I boot.  For my it only
happens every forth boot or so.  I am sure that this is a problem with the CSD
since my OS/2 2.0 booted and ran solid without problem.  The trap only occures
during boot.  I never have a problem once OS/2 is up.

Hey IBM,
	Do you know about this boot problem with the above location.

It's easy. And you can do it in the same vay on the VGA, not
only EGA.  Atribute Controller Register (3C0h/3C1h) number 13h 
bits 3-0 is horisontal pan 
                 value
            Mode      0-3,7 others  13h
                   0    1      0     0
                   1    2      1    n/a

Changes of this  register allow you to pan screen on 8/4 pixels left or
right without changing a video memory, If you want to scroll more then
8 pixels (or 4 depend from mode) you should change the start addres of
the video buffer.

That's all. If you have any question you are welcome.

Just quick note: the faq listed the Diamond phone # twice. The first one was
wrong and the woman who answered (a private home I think) didn't appreciate the
call.

Use the second listed voice phone number. It is correct.

How fast is this drive?  I have both the SB Pro and an Always SCSI card, and
I'm leaning towards getting a SCSI CD Rom just because they're faster...
any comments on this?

I have 2 IDE Western Digital drives on my system.  The first drive is
a WD AP4200 (Pirahna) and the second is a WD 2200 (Caviar).  The
Caviar sometimes pauses for a second causing my system to wait until
the read/write (or whatever it is doing) is finished.  I haven't
noticed the Pirahna do this.  Could someone tell me what the cause may
be and how to eliminate it?  Any information would be appreciated.
Please reply to me in Email.  I will forward and replies if people
ask.
Thanks.
