Forgive me if this is an FAQ, but what is the difference between IDE and
SCSI hard drives/controllers.  Which gives better performance under
ms-dos?  under unix?

The IBM's 386slc is an INTEL 386sx + 16KB on-chip cache. The SLC is
about 20-40% faster than a SX due to the on-chip cache. Therefore it is
totally compatible with the INTEL 386sx. But the licence agreement
between IBM and INTEL is that IBM can only market the SLC in a system or
on a upgrade board but not as a single chip. So, you cannot purchase the
SLC from IBM.

Summary: Can you have a XT-Drive and a IDE-Drive together?


My question must be a FAQ i think, but i don't know if there exist
any FAQ of this group. Also i am new here.

Can anyone answer my question?

I want to upgrade an 386sx (with AMI-Bios) with an IDE-Harddisk.
The computer has an XT-Drive (ST506?) installed.
1. Is it possible?
2. If it is possible, how do i make it?
3. If it is possible, how can i select, which drive is c and wich drive is d?

I installed an IDE-Drived a few times, but never a XT-Drive.

Thank you for your help in advance,

	Juergen.

The same as long as the system supported 4M parts (which this one
obviously did), but older systems may not properly refresh the 4M

Hi,

I have problems with a Hardcard hard disks, one of those that are thin
enough to slip in a slot. It does not start up anymore, and the sales
droid says that is because the oil in it dried (?) and hence the friction
that needs to be overcome at startup is too large.

Has somebody a solution for this? I thought of changing a ROM, that is, if
the ROM's contain info about the startup currents? Is this feasible? And
where can I get such a ROM?

Thanks,

Peter

I seem to have heard this from someone somewhere. What I remember is
that someone told me that there are two commands that are in the B that
are not in the A version. However, there exists almost no software that
uses either of these commands. BSD386 must be altered *slightly* to boot
from the A version.

(Note: I can't GET an ESDI controller because I don't have a PC. What

Any help would be appreciated.

  Let me tell you what I did. My two harddisks + stone age power supply
  made such a terrible noise together, I decided to shut the fan down 
  forever. I placed a switch between the power supply and the fan, so
  the fan could be turned on again when my PC starts to act strange. This
  was two years ago and nothing strange has happened; I never had to switch
  the fan back on...

In general, there is nothing free.  everything takes time and or money.  Always
be wary of FREE stuff, and changing prices in stores.  I always turn and leave
when someone says; "If I give you the lowest price on this ???? will you buy it
tonight?"

Look at what they are really asking, and what kind of promise they get out of
you.

"Just recompile" -- yeah, right.  "If it was written to the XXX API" -- THERE's
the key part.  You're STILL talking about the average user having to
replace all of their DOS software.  Therefore, Alpha NT "compatibility" is
still more myth than reality.

Oh yeah... this is not an easy one...
From my experience of importing stuff from the US to Germany:
- make sure the package contains exact value information
  (in your case you want to make sure the cuurent low value
  of the machine)
- declare it as a gift (this does not ensure your recipient does
  not have to pay customs --- in Germany about 15% of the value,
  but there is a better chance)
- the S&H depends on the weight and volume of the package
  (a package the size of a dictionary weighting say 3 kilo
  is about $150.- to ship with a carrier like UPS, DHL from CA to 
  Germany --- one week delivery)
- insurance probably is neglectable compared to the S&H
So to summarize I do not believe it is reasonable to ship that
box to the UK...

    I just had a weird thing happen today.  I was going through some old
3.5" disks that were 720 KB format and my drive couldn't read them.  I then
tried 1.44 MB formatted disked and they worked fine.

    As an experiment, I changed my CMOS settings to my Ami BIOS.  I set up
the 3.5" drive as a 720 KB type and rebooted the system.  Now the drive
reads 720 KB disks!  (But it doesn't read 1.44 MB disks)

    Does anyone know what my problem is??  My CMOS was cleared about a
week ago from a faulty battery, so it is possible something isn't set right.
Or maybe one of the cables has a problem???

I need to know if it is possible to put two different cards in one system
and switch between them when needed. One would be a high-res monochrome
for DTP/layout and one would be VGA color for everything else. Is there
any way to switch between them besides swapping cards?

Thanks in advance
