We will allow you to buy a system without the hard drive. The amount of the 
credit would depend on the size of the drive.

You will need to switch the floppy cables around so that A: is B: & B: is
A:. The red stripe on the side of the floppy drive cable (grey ribbon)
cable is always on the side that the power connector plugs into the 
computer:


Check the floppy cables to make sure that they are on correctly.


      < Floppy Power Connector >  < Edge/Pin Connector on Floppy > 


				   ----------------------------
				   |  Floppy Cable Connector  | 
				   ---------------------------- 
				   |	Grey Ribbon Cable     | 
				   ^^^^ 
				   Red Stripe

Once this is done. You will need to go into the CMOS/Award Software Setup
to change the floppies around so that A: and B: are swapped.

   Yep! If my memory is correct, Zeos will give you a $150 rebate if you do
not intend to have WD 340MB HD on your system.  And, if my memory is correct
again, an average mail-order price for a 340MB HD is approximately $950.

   Two more questions. First of all, can somebody from Zeos answer if their
new Local bus systems are compatible with OS/2, SCO Unix, and Windows NT?
Secondly, what kind of VESA Local Bus IDE/SCSI host adapters are to be re-
leased and are compatible with Zeos's systems.  Thanks in advance.

The Wang Integrated Imaging System (recently ranked as the number one
document imaging system by Computerworld) has been ported to AIX, with
equivalent or better functionality, and named OPEN/image for AIX.
Customer shipments began in September.

While "many vendors have been mimicking WIIS...., Wang has stayed ahead
by adding color and gray-scale support.  Wang is the only major
document imaging vendor to have achieved this," said Rich Barrett, manager
of the client/server component of the product.   The development group
also significantly improved the speed of black and white images.

Full information and demonstrations are now available from any
Wang office or Wang imaging business partner worldwide.

Hi All,

Let me appologise in advance if this post does not belong in this newsgroup.
If this is the case, could you please suggest where I might post this.

My company has orderd some NCD Xserver terminals with vt220 keybards.
These machines will be used off site.  Users will phone in, logon to a
UNIX machine, and run Xwindows.  From here, most users will want to open
a window to our VMS machine and this is where the problem is.

We apparently do not have a UNIX to VMS keyboard map.  When in VMS ( from
UNIX ), regular letters and numbers type correctly, but PF keys, control 
keys, Do, Find, Select, Replace, etc., do not.

My question is: Does there exist, or does anyone know how to create, a
UNIX to VMS keyboard map to solve the problem described above?

Please send all reponses via email as I have cross posted this to several
newsgroups and won't have time to peruse them all.

thank you,

I have a configuration that I am having a hard time getting to work 
without dropping bits at over 19200.

My configuration:
	PC clone with Intel 486 DX-50 (not DX2)
	Telebit WorldBlazer Modem with LA 5.01 firmware
	Crosstalk Mark IV
	RS-232 port (DB-25)
	Cable between the modem and the PC is passthrough for all
		25 pins.

When doing XMODEM (or other protocol) transfers any rate above 19200
drops bits and causes lots of transmission retries.  

I have set the XTALK program to use hardware flow control.

The revelent features of the modem are &R3, S58=2, S68=255, S50=0.
S51 has been tried in both locked mode and autobaud mode.

The interface seems to work even at 115200 for short bursts but not 
for long.  I get many garbled characters.

What should I be doing or changing to allow me to use speeds at
a higher rate.  My ideal would be to lock the interface at 115200
and still let the modem do the auto speed ddetermination.

Any ideas wuld be helpful.

Am I just seeing a problem with the Serial port not being able to 
handle any higher speed than 19200?  or a system that cannot sustain
over 19200?

I'll admit I'm confused.

Thanks for your help.

Mike
