Unfortunately, you can't just brush of an obnoxious architecture by saying
"The compiler people will worry about this." Let's stay real, folks.
Underlying models matter, and the Intel model is about as bad as they come.
If this is what we have to live with, I suppose we'll manage somehow,
but if you think it doesn't affect you, you're wrong.

	Acorn's 32000 transistor cpu does not include cache.  It's also only
a part of a cpu.  The Acorn team will put this cpu on a chip along with various
goodies and extras.  This can include cache, mmu etc.  The cpu part takes up 
about a quarter of a 22 mm die.

	But still, being fast and cheap, why aren't they used in more places?

NeXT is not known for trying to get the hottest box possible out the
door before everyone else.  I think NeXT's goals are to have a really
hot box running really hot software at a PC price (i.e. way less than
a SPARCStation 10).  To do this you have to wait until stuff is cheap.

Thanks to some helpful people on Usenet, I've gotten my Suprafaxmodem
v.32bis working just fine and dandy for data communications. I know
that a number of Supra owners have had problems connecting to other
modems at high speeds, but it seems that most work just fine.

As for faxing, I managed to install the NXFax demo (which is supposed
to work with ZyXel modems), but wasn't able to fax anything other than
a cover page. Since removing the demo, I haven't been able to use tip
to call remote sites, but kermit still works fine. B&W is supposedly
going to come out with a Supra driver for NXFax in the near future,
and some other company is apparently thinking of doing so as well.

In short: I'm very happy with my Supra, and while I haven't quite
gotten faxing to work, I'm sure that it won't be long before that
arrives as well.

Boosting our NeXTstation Color Turbo from 16 to 48 MB sped processing

the whole process.

   Please note that the tiff file I have seen "kicking around" only  
applies to the *GRAY* ball LogiTech Bus Trackman, which I haven't been  
able to find in stores for a few months.  LogiTech's new Trackman products  
have *BLUE* balls, which, according to their customer service line, has an  
entirely different interface.  The old, gray ball Trackman (I have one on  
my desk) came with a plug in card for your PC compatible (which you didn't  
use with your NeXT) -- the new one doesn't, which implies to me a  
significant architectural change.  I would be very surprised if the old  
modifications worked with the new products.

   You may still be able to find gray ball Trackmen on the shelves of some  
stores, but you may have to hurry.

No, not quite.  There are *some* educvational discounts, but they
aren't anywhere near the usual 30%-40% range.  Talk in the Sun
newsgroup indicated that the basic Sparc Classic would cost about
$3,400 (i.e. 15% off list) and about $3,800 with 400 MB disk.

Otherwise yes, you're right, SUn isn't shipping these babies yet.
Still, at <$4,000 the Sun seems to be a great buy even if you have to
wait for a month or two for delivery.

>I hope NeXT never sinks to this level of marketing.
Well, I thought NeXT did, repeatedly.  There have been *quite* a few
gripes in the NeXT newsgroups about long delivery times, not only for
the NeXT CD-ROM bundle, but for NeXT computers.  Also NeXT has offered
capabilities they've never delivered (NeXTdimension) so I don't think
NeXT is better or worse than anyone else.

No, I didn't.  Please do tell.
And yes, $4K buys you quite a lot.  You certainly don't get all the
NeXT goodies (NeXTstep, devtools, bundled apps), but for all I know
most real-world *users* don't care much about how easy IB is.  

I hope NeXT will announce new hardware *soon*.  Sun has already
announced that they will switch to Display PostScript, and once they
do, the SparcClassic will become *very* attractive for DTP since it
will offer almost twice the power of a NSTC for half the price *and*
upgradeability.

Good thing I don't need all the latest and newest stuff because I'm
quite happy with my NeXT as it is.

For external floppy drives (e.g., Cubes), the proper device is /dev/rsd?a, in

I have a mono 25 MHz station with a NeXT-supplied 400MB
internal disk drive (Seagate).  Over time the noise from
the drive has been getting louder--it is a combination of
high-pitched whine and buzz--and is becoming a real 
problem.  (The sound is constant, not just when seeking.)
It is 16 months old and out of warranty.  Aside from the
noise it has functioned reliably so far.

Is it possible to have a hard disk *repaired* to fix this
type of problem?  Or is the only solution to throw it out
and spend big bucks on a new one?

Hi,

I have a NeXTstation Turbo with 8 Mb of RAM.  I would like to purchase 2 more
8 Mb SIMMs.  The problem is that I've contacted several vendors now who all
ask me the same question..."what type of memory do you already have, parity
or non-parity?" but none of them can tell me how I can check this.

In the FAQs, it says that mixing parity and non-parity memory will cause
the system not to boot unattended.  I'd really rather not have to deal
with such problems if it's as easy as buying the right SIMMs in the first
place.

Does anyone know how I can find out what kind of SIMMs came with my Turbo
so that I know what to order.

Any help on this is most appreciated!!

Thanks,

unlike some magazines seemingly content with printing

Glad you tracked it down.  The reason we #define VOID as void on some
systems and char on others is that one whole "line" of C compilers
barfs on "void *" as an argument type to a procedure.   If these see
	void abc(xyz)
	   void *xyz;
	   {
		void *zyx;
		zyx = xyz;
	   }
they tend to dump core, or claim that xyz is an undefined variable, or
just generate wrong code.

So, we learned back in 1987 that it was better to use VOID instead of
void all through our source, and #define VOID to be char on compilers
that don't correctly implement the C language...

Sorry that you ran into this problem.  Probably, we should rename this
type "ISIS_VOID" to avoid future encounters with the same thing.

Most distributed computing dialog of the generic variety shows up in
comp.os.research.  

I am not aware of Blanca, but would be interested in learning more.
As for other toolkits similar to Isis, I don't think there is anything
you can get ahold of, but the places to look are:
    - INESC (Delta-4 project).  Contact Paulo Verissimo  paulov@inesc.pt
    - Psync (U. Arizona).  Contact Larry Peterson  peterson@cs.arizona.edu
    - Transis (Hebrew U.)  Contact Yair Amir  yairamir@cs.hujl.il
    - Ameoba (Vrije U.)    Contact Frans Kaashoek frans@cs.vj.nl
    - (name unknown)       Contact Flaviu Cristian flaviu@cs.ucsd.edu

I doubt that anything out there is particularly similar to Isis, but
I am sure you can find other sorts of toolkits for other purposes.
I omitted from my list all the systems that are transactional or that
lack tools for things like replicated data; if one includes those you
would have a million things on the list...

In ISIS v3.0.5, the definition in isis.h of NULLARG is

Now when I compile this with an ANSI C compiler, gcc -ansi, the

Yes and no.  We usually put papers on ftp.cs.cornell.edu in the pub
directory, but the final journal versions are rarely put there --
in general, when we revise something the final time, we also sign
away copyright.  So, if a paper has appeared in print, we strongly
recommend that you consult the printed version, and cite that one.
Keep in mind that reviewers often point to problems that the final
revision corrects, so the differences may be substantial.

Email to Maureen Robinson for reprints of anything you have a problem
finding: reen@cs.cornell.edu.  Maureen is the person who periodically
posts an up to date publications list.
