Thanks for info.
my ATI vga wonder frequently stop at turbo mode. (12 mhz AT).
It seemed to boot only at 6 mhz clock speed, otherwise
it becme stuck at booting time.


I made a call to ATI tech. and one technicin told me to try to
insert the ATI VGA wonder card into the nearest slot to
the power supplier.


I DID, AND IT WORKS. NO MORE JAMM, NO MORE BOTHERING.


WHAT  A WONDER!!

So, the installation order of extension boards seem to
related to the performance of PC, doesn't it?

I have a 386sx with 4 megs of memory nad a trident video card.  Windows
3.1 runs real slow on my computer, and I am thinking of buying a speedier
video card for windows.

What I want to know is how much of a performance boost can I expect from
an S3, Speedstar 24X, or ATI Ultra card?

According to PC Mag, some of these video cards actually run slower under
DOS.  Can someone verify this for me?

What are your experiences?  Is the speedup worth the price?

Thanks

I would like to verify the following. Given a harddisk with those

average seek 12 ms

storage 200 Mb
brand BT BRAND

would I be wrong to exspect the transfer rate to be 800k/s or up?
The disk is IDE btw. I have a 85 Mb seagate that does 865k/s
and have seen several others that all have a transfer rate of 800k
and up, all with seek times of 16ms or more. Figures are btw all
reported be Norton SI.
Appart from this it also makes an annoying squeeking sound at startup
and continually exhibits a high pitched noise while operating.
If someone can assure me this is entirely normal or opposite, I would
like to hear as soon as possible since I would have to go back

Yes!  If you don't, data that has been written to the cache but not yet to
disk will be lost.  It is possible to corrupt whole files (not just lose
individual recods) this way.  Maybe worse, if the FAT needs to be updated.

A lot of defragging software directly accesses the disk at the sector
level.  Disk caches may hide this information.  May.  What they will 
_certainly_ do is prevent the safety features in most defragging programs
from working.  Supposedly, if a good defragger is interrupted (even by
power failure), there will be no data loss.  With a disk cache, however,
it is likely that the FAT will be left describing a layout that is only
incidentally related to the actual layout of your disk.  This is because
the software is _always_ busy, and caches typically write in idle time
(unless they are full).  This means you could have a[n almost] full cache of
unwritten data (including FAT changes!) that could be lost.

"Standard" was the name used by CompuAdd for a line of systems they

I have an Orchid Fahrenheit 1280 card. It does 1280x960x16 colors in
interlaced mode. I'm using it with a Sony Multiscan HG monitor.

The combination of interlace and the reduction in colors bothers me enough
that I never use 1280x960 mode, and I stick with 1024x768x256 colors. It's
certainly not unusable in the higher res mode, but I do notice some flicker
and a lot more eye strain.

I've read that there are several new S3 chips coming out soon, at least
one of which is supposed to handle a lot more than 1MB of memory, and which
should deal with higher resolution better.

The modem doesn't give a damn what characters are in the letter,
as long as they are printable. If what you say would be true,
you couldn't read comp.modems in the fear of someone complaining

Dear Netters,

I recentrly bought Viewsonic 5+ monitor and Diamond Stealth Vram card. 
I am genrally happy with this combination, especially the speed at

However, the screen is a little bit shaking, and it bothers me sometimes.  
If I am in 800x600 mode, (though I am not using this mode) the phenomenon

or with graphics card.  Does anybody have any comments on this ?

I would appreciate any comments.

Driver_s_, or drive_s_?  To answer the first, what drivers?  You don't give
enough information.  To the second, no.  IDE paddleboards that have floppy
controllers on them will work with your old floppy drives.

No.

Technically, the "controller" is on the drive.  (IDE = Integrated Drive
Electronics).  The "paddleboards" that go in your machine's slot is so
generic and stupid (real guts are on the drive) that this is probably a
safe area to go with lowest price.  Such a board ought to cost not more
that $39; $59 if it has a floppy controller and/or I/O ports on it too.

OK, I'd like to follow up on this, and see a comparison of the
Bernoulli 90 versus the Syquest 88.

Which is faster?
Which is cheaper?
Which has cheaper media?
Which is more likely to work with my Adaptec 1542B SCSI adapter?
Which is more likely to work with any arbitrary operating system?
Which is more reliable?

Thanks again.

Hi there,

I am currenting using a Maxtor 120 M hard disk. I got another Hard Disk
a while ago (which is a Segate 43 M) Both of them are IDE

Now I want to add the segate as a secondary HD but I can't figure out the 
neccessary jumper setting... 

I don't have the manuals for these HD , where else can I find the infomation?

If you do know... would you please email me at chan@en.ecn.purdue.edu
or post it on the group? 

I appreciate any of your help.

Billy.
