Hello:  I tried to reply by email twice, but it bounced (twice) so I'll
try posting.  
Mike:
 
The adapter is available from Logitech.  They told me it would cost
$25.  I picked up the mouse for $15 as a demo.   I doubt that there would
be electronics inside the adapter, but maybe some of the pins are connected
together on one side or the other.  My other mouse, a 6 year old Logitech
C7, works fine with just gnd, rx, and tx lines.  Did you try the adaptor
with your mouse?  Did it work?  

I tried swapping the cable from a series 9 serial mouse (model cc-93-9f)
onto mine, but it didn't work.  It had a different circuit board from my
rodent.  
      
For what it's worth:
       
red ... ground/common
yellow  ... data probably
black   ... data clock on ps/2 port
brown   ... who knows
orange  ... +5 vdc on ps/2 port
shield  ... like it says
	
These are the wires on the connector inside the mouse, in the order in
which they appear.  I'm kind of tempted to just hack off the ps/2 
connector and see what happens if I use the yellow wire as TXD, red as
common, and black as RXD. 
	 
I haven't had any email replies to my question.  I was afraid that
thousands of good samaritans would be going to a lot of trouble on
my behalf, measuring their adaptors with ohmeters and test lights.
Evidently not.  
	  
Anyway, thanks for the reply.  I always wonder if my post made it out at
all.  I guess if I want more replies I should ask FAQs.  :)
									 
regards, 
Dave

I heard a fair while ago that the 68060 was going to be 128 bits.
That would justify it having a name that is seen to be generation in front of intel.

Date: 16 Nov 92 18:24:59 GMT

            I  have a friend in NYC who purchased a Premier 210 (an AT 
        compatible)  package from JR Music two years ago.  The machine 
        came bundled with a NowTalk voice synthesis package. I suspect 
        the bundling was done by Premier because all the documentation 
        carried the Premier logo. 
            
            Her  problem is she lost the manual.   She called  Premier 
        but   they  were  unable  to  help  her  because  they're   in 
        bankruptcy.  She asked if I'd post to the net to see if anyone 
        knew of a source for the manual or would be willing to make  a 
        copy for a nominal fee.  While I'd never agree to such a thing 
        for  a software product,  hardware  seems  to  be  a different 
        matter  since it can't be replicated illegally by  the  casual 
        end user. 
            
            Any suggestions?

Organization: The College on the Other Side of U. S. 1

I have a no-name 486/33 motherboard that has run flawlessly for 7
months. I left the computer on when I left the house at around 11 AM
today and when I got back at 4 it was dead. No raster on the monitor, nothing.

I powered off, waited, and powerd up again. The three LEDs on the
keyboard come on and stay on, and the HD drive emits random "clicks."

I pulled the power supply and checked the voltages at every connector:
all OK.

I put the power supply back and checked the bus voltages between B1 and
B3, B5, B7, B9 and B29: all OK.

I pulled all boards but left the 5/15V power connected to the HD and 2
floppies. Same clicks from the HD and still no raster. Ditto after I
reinstalled the VGA card, and also after I swapped it for a spare VGA
card.

I even tried disconnecting the keyboard to see if the response would be
better. It wasn't.

Sounds to me like something on the motherboard has gone belly up (don't
say "the 486", please!!). What do you think?

Thanks,
Pete

These lines are inherent in the nature of Trinotron monitors.  I think
that they are some sort of guide wires.  Apple's 13" color monitor has
one of these lines about 1/3 the way up the monitor.  Large monitors
are most likely have two of these wires.

Any comments on Diamond Speedstar 24X vs. the Stealth?
I have a 386SX/16MHz PC and would like to improve the speed
of Windows.  On the boxes, they claim that the 24X would 
speed-up Windows by 15 times and the Stealth (which costs more) 
by 25 times.  Would the Stealth be that much faster, or would 
it be an "over-kill" on my PC?  

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

   It depends mostly on how your motherboard is built.  Most require a full
bank of memory to be filled at a time.  If this is the case with your
monterboard then it depends on how many MEGS a bank holds.

The Tech Support person at the dealer where we bought our 486/50DX machines
with Quantum 240MB HDDs says they have heard of a number of cases of 
interference between lines 31 and 32 in the IDE ribbon cable connection 
causing sub-standard behavior of fast HDDs, in particular Maxtor drives.  
Usually, the effect is just poor performance, but I think he said in some 
cases data was not getting written to the HDD.  He recommended that we 
separate lines 31 and 32 of the connecting cable, and might see a 10-15% 
improvement in HDD access times as a result.  We aren't aware of any problems
with the our Quantum drives, so haven't done as he suggested yet.

Since I'm not a hardware maven, can anyone out there confirm, deny, or explain
this phenomenon?

It should be easy to upgrade an AMI BIOS. I ordered and received an new
AMI BIOS last week from Upgrades, Etc (805-650-2030 or 800-955-3527). The
person who took my order first asked me which version I had and why I wanted
to upgrade.  He verified that the problems I was experiencing were known
problems before taking my order. He also told me that I needed to order a
new AMI keyboard BIOS. Total cost was $82 ($50 BIOS, $25 keybd BIOS, $7
shipping). I haven't installed the chips yet.

I'm trying to add a secondary IDE hard drive ( Conner CP - 3044 ) to a no-name PC

Are the two drives' IDE interfaces incompatible ( both modern drives 91&92 ) and

having two seperate cables?

I think I have a Quadtel 386 BIOS (in which the CMOS info disappears just
about weekly).  Anyway, hit a key during the memory check (or hit escape to
bypass the memory check), and then hold down a key.  You should get some
"keyboard error" and you'll be prompted to hit F2 to enter SETUP.

At least that's how it works for me...

	I started having strange problems with my 386/33 Gateway
computer the other day. When I boot up the pc it goes through the memory
test 640/16meg then NOTHING!!!
If I hack my config.sys I can get one of three things to happen:

	1. Nothing
	2. System boots (not configured the way I like)
	3. Error message ---	internal stack overflow
				System halted

If I delete my config.sys and create a new one containing only
the following line:

	lastdrive=e

I consistantly get #3 above. Infact, any command (in config) that
tells DOS to do somthing in memory gives me #3. For example:

	dos=high (in place of lastdrive=e)

I get the system to boot by removing all of the following from
my config.

	lastdrive=e
	dos=high
	stacks=9,256
	files=8
	buffers=1
	break=on

I can leave all device drivers alone (including qemm and stacker)
I ran a prgram called PC PROBE and it found NO PROBLEMS with any

Hi !

I've a problem. I like to use the Streamer GiGa 1200 (Giga Tape Corp) with
my Adaptec 1542 B. The Streamer should manage 1.2 GB Bakups onto a
120 min DAT Tape.

We only came up to 600 MB (Data Transfer Rate 6 MB/min). Where is the
Problem. Which Software could manage this ???

We tried NOVA, and Sytos. Are there better Programs ? Does anybody
know good parameters for NOVA Backup with such DAT Streamers ?              

We also have no manuals for the Streamer ! Is there anybody, who has worked
with it up to now ?


       Please answer via elm  toddy@uni-paderborn.de

I have a brand new Epson 3.5" 1.44MB drive.
I need to know what the various jumper settings are.

There are at least 3 jumpers, one seems to be a "drive ID select",
but the function of the other two jumpers has me confused.

Could they be...  Disk change detect modes?  What modes?

There must be something else besides...

(Please EMAIL replys, post as well if you wish!)
