Subject: My Video is Munged!!! HELP!!!
Date: 9 Oct 92 09:43:05 GMT
Organization: Sonoma State University

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Problem:
Some of my software does not run correctly.
The video is wierd on my PS/2

system:
PS/2 XT, 640K, bulit-in monitor.

MOst of my programs run okay, but about 10 do not.
The machine runs 320*200*256(MCGA) with no problems.
It runs 640*480 as well(I have ACTUALLY witnessed this)
(I have several of the "SIM"'s by Maxis, and they run in 640*480
perfectly well, if in B&W or 16 colors)

So..... why does it not run VGA correctly?
Here is where it gets wierd:  The games and applications out there
SAY "VGA" on the box, but the resolution is REALLY 320*200*256.
There are some exceptions, but this is generally the rule.

None of the applications say "needs 512K ram on video board".(that I have)
None say they need more than 640K.

One runs the intro fine, and bombs after 5 minutes of setup/intro screens.
(these scroll, etc.)The intros work fine.
One will NOT run , even though it plainly says it will(says PS/2 VGA/MCGA).
One runs the intro in VGA(real VGA), then bombs.
One scrolls so funny that the thing starts to play "catchup" and get ghosts.
One says "no VGA present"(It runs in 320*200, no less)-does not see the 
built-in video, I guess)

AG.
I wounder if someone can tell me why this happens?
The only thing that I can figure out is that the version of whatever controlls
the on-board video is either old, or just too "wierd" for the programs to run.

Is there any remedy for this?
BTW, Sim's, EA, Br0derbund, and others work fine, some in 640*480.
It is only a few that are wierd.

I am going crazy here.

Is there anyone out there who knows model 25's well enough to tell me what 
is likely/going on?  Is it bad roms?  Bad MB?  Old Bios?
Can I get a video upgrade/was there that option?

Thought:This screen DOES do VGA.  I can get a VGA card with 512K or 1 MB
on it, and put it in a slot.  Is there a way to conncet the built-in monitor to
this card to solve all my problems?  I figure it should be a matter of getting
the right wires to the right places.
(I could just get an ext. monitor, but that is WAY too expensive right now)

Well, thanks for any help,
Joe

Actually, ask your local IBM dealer or branch office to get you a copy of
the International Catalog of Micro Channel Adapters.  I think the latest
revision has over 1,200 adapters listed!  (I'd give you the part number,
but my copy of the catalog isn't handy...)

  I'm not familiar with all the models, but the model 70-E61 and
70-121 have slots for 3 2M SIMMs (6M total).  The 70-A21 has 4 slots,
so it maxes out at 8M.

Hi Everyone...

Being the lucky owner of a ps2 Model 50 (not 50Z), I was wondering what my 

options for upgrades were (or are there any)... this includes cpu/motherboard, 

video, hard drive, etc... the only thing that I don't want to change is the 

keyboard...

Are there any other companies (other than IBM) which produce compatible

hardware for this system ??

Any prices would also be appreciated...

thanks...

You can low-level format the hard disk on a Model 25/30/30-286 using the
Advanced Diagnostics diskette for that system.  It's not Ctrl-A... you
have to go through all the menus to get to it.

There is a way to do many low level system diagnostics and functions from the 
Starter Disk on the PS/2 30.  Instead of CTRL-A, you must use Debug to access them.  I seem to remember that the DIAGS.COM program on the disk has it.  I do not know how to go beyond the initial screen that appears when you run Debug on 
DIAGS.COM.  You can use debug or a disk editor to look through the file to see
what other things you can do.

Hope this helps.

If anyone knows how to use the advanced debugging on the Starter Disk, please post it.

Add

But I think you would do better buying the 9577, you get xga-2 and a 33-66

Jay,
   What machine do you have?  I have a 55SX with a SB (not pro)
card in it.  I too was told by Creative Labs to run windows in
standard then enhanced mode to get it to work in enhanced mode.
Unforetuneatly I have never beed able to get around this problem.
THe last time I talked to CL (about 6 months ago) they blamed
IBM for this problem, I suspect IBM blames CL too, sigh.  Funny
thing is though, my machine would crash IMEDIATELY upon running 
windows.

Well, I guess I didn't help much, but just to let you know,
you are not the only one.

Paul

PS A possible solution is to buy a SB-Pro MCV, it has recently
been released.

nfs is a lowest-common-denominator of filesystems -- you can only have
files and directories, but you can operate across many different os.
rfs implements complete unix fs semantics; this permits remote
mounting of block & character devices, pipes, and anything else which
can live in the unix fs.

another difference -- i think:
when you invoke a nfs-mounted program, it is run on *your* machine.
when you invoke an rfs-mounted program, it's run on *the*other*
machine.

I grabbed GCC 2.2.2 from erratic.bradley.edu and it works great on our
3B2/600G.  Now I'm trying to get the C++ portion of the compiler
working.  I snagged all the necessary .h files from prep.ai.mit.edu,
and a test C++ program compiles fine until the link phase where it gives
me undefined symbol errors.  If anyone out there has /usr/lib/libg++.a
already built for a 3B2, I would love to hear from you.  Thanks in
advance.

Yes, it is possible.  I've used an XDC on a 3b2/600 running SVR3.1.1 and
3.2.1, and I think it will run on all of the current releases.  No one
that I know of has made an XDC disk bootable on a 600, but I suspect that
no one would ever want to do that.

The NFS-on-a-3B2 story is in the FAQ.

The differences between NFS and RFS in a nutshell:

RFS: Developed by and supported by AT&T

NFS: Developed by and supported by Sun

BTW, SunOS 4.1.1 (and I assume versions after that as well) support
both RFS and NFS, although I can't get my Sun to talk to my 3B2
using RFS.  Bummer.
