Date: 4 Oct 92 17:27:02 GMT
Organization: The College on the Other Side of U. S. 1

I have a 6386 running AT&T SV/386 R3.2.2 with StarGROUP 3.2 software on
a LAN that services 21 PCs running the StarGROUP DOS client program. 20
of these are in a student lab and one is in my office.

Frequently after a lab session, I do a ps -ef and find that several
students are running "-ksh" over the lan. However, "who" doesn't see
them. Each has a process ID number and each is piling up humongous idle
time numbers.

Is this a potential problem? Why are they still "there"? Why doesn't
"who" see them?

Thanks,
Pete

AT&T just sent me a couple of very used 630 terminals with no docs. I

have no idea how to get any of its features (windows??) running.

it should be on erratic.bradley.edu(136.176.5.253) becase it's my

but plan on it here (if I get time).  The X has a program with xauth

I'm a sysadmin at this site, and I believe the correct amount of RAM is

Aside from that, I'm curious to see what response we get from this.

I'd be interested in hearing from anybody who's been able to get a 4425
to scroll more than 3 screens of text without losing flow control.  We have
about half a dozen here, but unfortunately they're not for sale :-)
4410 is a good, basic, bulletproof terminal.  Only drawback is they don't
have a "real" 10-key pad.  Anyway, these have been the idle musings of a

I am trying to reformat a Micropolis Model 1335 hard disk, but do
not have the specifications for its internals.

The disk is out of a 3b2/400, and is an ST506 type interface
disk. Other information that I have, from the case of the disk:

Model		1335
Type?		ST506
Capacity?	85MB
P/N		900435-02-5A

The type and capacity are my words for numbers written on the
defect map sticker that do not have headings.

I took a guess that it might be very similar to the Micropolis
1325 Hard disk, but it would not verify.

There is also the possibility that it is busted     :-)

Thanks in advance,

Date: Tue, 29 Sep 1992 13:30:30 GMT

The lithium battery on our 3b2/310 failed a week ago. I replaced the
battery, and now cannot boot the system.

When the system is powered up, it goes through the normal "SELF CHECK" and
"DIAGNOSTICS PASSED" sequence. I then get the copyright notice, but
nothing happens after the line of asterisks at the end of that notice.
However, the console port appears to be "open" in that whatever I type
is echoed back, and typing several characters followed by an at-sign (@)
results in a carriage-return linefeed from the system as if something inside
the box was listening.

The machine has a 70 meg hard drive, an internal floppy drive, two meg of
RAM, 1 ports card and a MAU. The version of unix is 3.1.1. Any suggestions
will be most welcome.

    Yup, it works pretty well, the only thing that bothered me about this
is shl does not remember and restore the state of the previous screen.  What
I did to overcome this problem is:

   Hunted through the my DOCUMENTATION for a command in the terminal emulator
software that writes/dumps the current screen to a disk file.  Then I hunted 
for a script command that will read a screen from a disk file and re-display
it.  Next, using these commands and the powerful script language available
in most emulators, it is possible to write a script file that will SWITCH
you between each of your SHELL LAYERS, without losing the state of the screen.

   This type of scripting system works great over modems and the like..  I
often use this on 2400 baud modems, and find the speed is most acceptable.

   The other final thing worth noting..  shl (shell layering) does not let
you run conncurrent sessions properly.  EG: If you start a compile job in
session #1, then switch to session #2, then session #1's output will
appear in session #2 where it is not wanted..  

    You can (I forget the exact stty command) force session number 1 to stop
compiling, and wait until you switch back to the session to clear,read the
pending output.  It's not awsome, but that do you expect for something that
runs on most SYSV implementations.. <GRIN>

    Hoping this helps....

Cheers....

Subject: Still can't get second drive to work ...
Date: 25 Sep 92 23:39:56 GMT
Organization: O.U., Harvard on the Hocking, Berkeley in the Boondocks!

Well, I managed to get the jumpers on the drive set correctly so that
it is now definitely calling itself drive #2.

When I boot up with the drive disabled (i.e., no jumpers in), everything
boots just fine.  But with the drive enabled I still can't get anything
to work.  Maybe someone can help?

This is what happens ....

First off, I get FW ERROR 1-02: DISK SANITY FAILURE.  Okay, I sorta
expected that.

Next I go into firmware mode to try and boot Unix.  When I enter "edt",
it tells me that neither drive exists.  So I run "filledt", telling it
I want to use option #1, slot #0.  This gives me my hard drive back.

Now I can boot Unix, but it doesn't give me any devices in /dev other
than what I already have.  Obviously I'm doing something wrong here;
what I AM doing wrong is far beyond me.  But the way it looks, I can't
format the hard drive without having it recognized, but I can't get it
recognized.

I've read and re-read the manuals and the 3B2 FAQ list (I followed the
instructions ... they didn't work ...).

Any hope for me?

You've got to be kidding.  One of the worst mice ever made.  It's

I don't know it at the moment: does the PBI have the processor's
HALT - line?
If it is the case, I wonder for how long the processor can be stopped
with this? What can you do during that time?
Would it be possible to access the DRAM within the HALT-period?
How often?

Another question: Would it be possible to change more than one RAM
address of the Atari's internal DRAM during one single clock cycle
of the 6502C CPU?
Is it very complicated to accomplish an external DMA on the system?
How does the DMA work on systems like the ST or Amiga?
Any ideas how to implement this kind of DMA on the 8bit?
