Jim, there's an a review of the Magnavox monitor in PC Sources, July
1992, p. 442. It's not a new product review, but a "durability test"
report. The review, by Jon Pepper, is extremely positive: some of the
details -- list price $1995, no coprocessor based mode memory or all
digital controls. Preset frequency settings for VGA, SVGA, Extended
VGA up to 1280x1024. Good report on dealing with support staff at
Magnaovox, blahsnoreblah, If you need a display this large, you'll
find the MagnaScan /20 is a reliable and reasonbly economical choice
. . . no major problems.

        Hi, I was reading about VGA (in advertisements, no less) that 
described their VGA cards as 16 bit color.  I though VGA was 18 bit, brokent 
down this was:  three "words" of 6 bits, each word being a number between 0 
and 63, one word for red, one for green, and one for blue, thus providing a 
pallette of 63^3 colors.  So why did those ad's label VGA as 16 bit?

This is probably a dumb question, but since Blue Dolphin is now
belly-up, I thought I'd ask the net before acting...  The Real
Time Clock on my 486/33 is not keeping up (it advances while
the computer is on, and then stays at last "on" time while
computer is powered down).  Assuming that the problem is a dead
battery, the question is:  will I lose the contents of my BIOS
CMOS when I remove the battery?  Or, a related issue:  if the
CMOS is dependent on the battery for memory retention, why
hasn't it already died?  On most of these motherboards, are
CMOS settings copied into an EEPROM section of the ETEQ chipset
when changes are made so that battery integrity does not affect
bootability?  Any advice/similar situations would be helpful
before I go tearing into my computer.  Thanks!

>I need to find out what

This reminds me of how I recently got 4MB of SIMMs fairly cheap. I was
ordering a computer for a friend from Comtrade Computer (in Comp. Shopper)
and, I figured that I might be able to get a better deal on the RAM I'd
been planning to buy if I just had the guy throw an extra 4 onto the
machine I was ordering. After all, he'd just sold a 386-40, you'd think
he'd cut me a deal on a few extra megs. At the very least, I wouldn't have
to pay for shipping, since they'd be riding 'stowaway' on the motherboard.

Now, IC-Express currently sells 1MB 80ns SIMMS for $35 each WHEN ordered in
lots of 12 or more. So, I figure $35 for a meg is a pretty decent price.
So, I'm expecting to pay about $140 for the 4MB. So I ask the guy at
Comtrade "How much to throw another 4MB on there?" and he says "Ninety
bucks". I exclaim: "NINETY DOLLARS!?!?! For *FOUR* megs?!?!?!" and the guy
says "Okay... I'll make it eighty.". So I go:"<gulp> Fine!" :-)

They were even 70ns! Cool deal!

So, if you know any friends who are ordering computers, you might want to
try the same trick. Make SURE that they are of the same or faster speed and
that they are, indeed, SIMMs and that they are 1MB ones. If you ask for a
gob of extra RAM, there is the chance the place would just stick 4MB SIMMs
on there which would have left ME with 4MB of RAM that I couldn't use in my
SX-16.

HELLO SCUZZY PEOPLE!  I'm looking for SCSI driver source code...

	We are looking for source code which will enable us to cause a
PC (the server) to pretend to be a CD-ROM drive on a SCSI bus
connected to a second PC (the client).  This emulation will occur as
follows.  The client PC will establish a SCSI connection with the
server PC and submit a read request.  At this point the server PC will
issue a disconnect to the client.  When the bus is free, the server
will establish a connection with a real CD-ROM drive which is on the
same bus.  The server will re-issue the read request, handle any
disconnects/reconnects which may be issued by the drive, and
eventually receive the data.  The server will massage the data,
reconnect with the client, and send the data over.

	I would very much like to obtain some source for a driver to
get started, as time pressure prohibits starting from scratch.  This
source wants to drive either a commercially available SCSI board, or
an available SCSI interface chip, for which parts data can also be
obtained.

	Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
	I mean, _e_n_o_r_m_o_u_s_l_y_ appreciated, because disassembling
	existing drivers is no fun at all.

I bought one a couple of weeks ago.  I bought it because my taiwanese 1MB
card AND my Orchid Prodesigner card both kept crashing with Windows.  I
returned the Orchid card and got the DS24 -- It works GREAT!

I know it's faster than the Orchid (how much I don't know, but by
*observation* it appears to be twice as fast).

I've got a 386/33 too.  The card works great.  I highly recommend it.
However, I tried it with Wing Commander and the graphics speed was such
that it took me several attempts to get past the first mission again.

Plus you get an excellent paint/draw program that works only with the
DS24.

We have a dead SUN 386i system with a nice large HiRes monitor. It has an RGB
input - has anyone ever successfully connected one of these to a PC, it
sounds great in theory?

Cheers, Jon.
