The GW tech rep I talked to last night said they are waiting for a new 
facility before they hire ~300 new tech reps (to add to the ~200 they have 
now).  Some things just take time.

BTW.  I my 66V was shipped two tays after the 3 week time they specified.
The only problems I have had so far were a HD cable which had come 
unplugged and a problem with extended memory, which was fixed by removing
and reinserting the SIMMs.				--gary

Many of the newer svga cards, accelerated or not, are compatible with the
VESA standard video BIOS calls when used in DOS applications.  Could someone
post or email a brief summary of the VESA extended mode video BIOS calls?
For example, what values are loaded into the AX and BX registers to set the
mode to 1024x768, 256 colors for a video card which claims to support the
VESA modes?  If you know of an archive site where a doc file can be found,
this would also be a big help. (I didn't see anything like this on SIMTEL.)

Organization: CS Dept, University of Texas at Austin

NNTP-Posting-Host: boogie.cs.utexas.edu

I want to add another parallel port to each of a couple of [3,4]86's
that already have COM1, COM2 and LPT1 in use, and have IRQ5 (normally
reserved for LPT2) in use by another device.  One of them also has
another device using IRQ2.  (Where) can I find a parallel port card
that doesn't use one of the first 8 IRQ's?

In looking through Computer Shopper, I see lots of places selling
cards with serial, parallel and game ports on the same card.  Are
these intended for folks who are rolling their own system from
scratch, or can I use one of these cards to add several more ports
while I'm at it?

Organization: Telecom Research Labs, Melbourne, Australia

G'Day,
	We've got a little problem in that we require an extremely fast
floating point accelerator for a PC based system, but one that doesn't
cost the earth. I've seen i860 plug in cards, but here in Australia,
these retail somewhere around the $8-15k range, more than we can afford.
I seem to recall that a company named HAUPPAGE (if I remember correctly)
used to sell a 486 motherboard with an i860 built into it. Further, I'm
sure I saw a PC on sale in the UK with this board for around 3k pounds
sterling. So does anyone have a contact for an Australian supplier (or
failing this, the US suuplier) of these motherboards, or any comments
generally about them ?

Thanks a lot,

I've seen ads mentioning ISA and EISA controllers from Legacy, Altec, Zenon
and Comtrade. These are system vendors who may or may not sell components
seperately. They'll probably mention what manufacturers were used. Hard
Drives Intl. is probably a good bet for a source. I think Edge uses a caching
Mylex controller which is SCSI-2.

My advice. Go spend $2.95 and a couple of hours with Computer Shopper
and you'll find what you need.

Here is my test result of SS24X with new driver 2.03b.

software: PC magazine Winbench 3.1

hardware: 486DX-50 EISA with Award 486 EISA BIOS
          8 MB RAM  212 MB HDD

  It seems OK now fro Microsoft Word 2.0 & Work but there is still some

As far as I am concerned, if I cannot purchase what they

ZEOS *is* up to subtle incorrect business behavior.

I have also heard that the US Army has a lock on all supplies

I must assume that *someone* in the USA is making these chips.

If you use real OSs instead of DOS, then sharing IRQs is possible,
if you use a serial board which supports it.
Sometimes there are even Taiwainian boards which use only 1 IRQ
for 4 or 8 serial ports. These boards are more expensive than
the dumb ones, of course. They cost about 120 DM (ca. $70) here
in Germany (4 ports). But these ones are sometimes 
difficult to get. Not all  dealers who sell the real cheap stuff understand what you want :-)

Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1993 20:56:34 GMT

I can't seem to get Microlink to work properly and I haven't been able to figure
it out (I'm obviously missing something simple).

I want to be able to dial into work.  The sequence I would type in in "dumb
terminal" mode would be...

  ATDTxxxxxxxWyyyyy#Wzzzz#

where

  xxxxxxx  is the phone number I want to dial
  yyyyy    is a code number that you dial in when you get a short dial tone
  zzzz     is a second "service" number to dial in again when you get another
             dial tone.

After this, you would get a standard paragraph (blah, blah, blah) and finally
a service prompt, say,

  tty1234a>

at which you would type in the unix nodename to connect to, say, "mynode"

then you get the standard UNIX login prompt.

My problem is that I have be unable to get any portion of this to work either
from a script or from a "dumb terminal" mode.  When I use the "disconnected"
mode, I can type the "ATDT" string but as soon as I get the service prompt
(tty1234a>), Microlink drops the carrier!

Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong or have a script that
may enlighten me as to what I'm doing wrong?  I do have the modem selected
(correctly) as a Microcom 32bis.

Any help would be appreciated.

BTW, if someone has a 800# or an email address for the Microlink vendor, could
you please let me know via email?

Thanks,
  Norm.

I am looking for a replacement motherboard for an IBM PS/2 Model 80-071

IBM's price for a replacement motherboard is higher than its price for a

are only marginally less expensive.

I would appreciate suggestions on where to turn for a replacement.

If I am unusccessful in finding a replacement, the entire system will be for
sale on an as-is basis:
	IBM PS/2 Model 80-071 (tower model with lots of empty slots and bays)
	386DX 16 Mz (functioning fine)
	2 MB additional memory on daughter boards
	70 MB hard disk (ESDI)
	3.5" diskette drive (1.44 Mb)

$250 was _wwwaaayyy_ too much to ask for a mere 8513.  one can probably
get an 8515 for that money.  so the price was lowered to $150, which i
sincerely believe is a very attractive price.

Steve is right.  The RU2 is supposed to be the Cyrix DLC running twice the
speed internally.  I was told the speed improvement is about 75%.  I
think the Dec issue of BYTE has an article about this chip.  By the way,
has anyone try this chip on a PS/2?  --Ron
