I'm looking for some technical info on joystick connection to a PC game 
port.  I know the game port pin out, but it is somewhat cryptic as to the 
actual hookup.

What I want to do is use an analog joystick from an old computer system on 
my PC.

I know, joysticks are cheap, why bother.  Well, I like this joystick 
layout, plus, being a hardware hacker, I can't resist.

The joystick I want to use contains 2 potentiometers and 2 pushbuttons.
How should they be connected to the game port?

Thanks,

I saw a topic here on Cyrex vs Intel, but it faded before I saw
any discussion.

The question is, I nkow I can save about $300 ny choosing a Cyrex
486/87DLC-33 over an Intel 486-33. What I don't know is what
I'm giving up, besides maybe 10% performance penalty.

I've also heard that there's an incompatibility with PCTools
Backup.

Anyone have any insight?

Thanks.

I've been seeing the same ad in the business section of our city newspaer
(The St. Louis Post-Dispatch) hyping the new IBM PS-1 for about a month now.
IBM claims that their going to give you dual floppy drives, a 211 MB hard,
a modem, in addition to their standard package(14 in. VGA color monitor, 2MB
RAM, mouse, Microsoft Works, Prodigy, etc.) starting at under $1200.  And it's
available as a 386 or 486.  Has anyone seen this machine/own this machine/know

It just doesn't add up.  An IBM 386 PS-2 running at 20 MHz possessing an 80 Mb

	Don't forget, one of the most important features of 
	Stacker 3.0 is it is supposed to have a "UNSTACK"

Has anyone ever heard of a program called SLIM110A? It does on-the-fly
compression transparent to all programs.  I tried it a little using a 486DX50
so I can't tell you how it would do on a 286.  Another feature it has is to
allow the user to set the compression ratio, based on if you need speed or
space. It works best if you only compress files you only read from though as it
does not recompress on writing.  But for shareware what do you expect - It
works.

Do you want to detect the hardware and run the appropriate ipx and netx
depending upon the results of this check?  Or do you know what hardware
(net card) they will be installing?  If you know what they're installing,
then you can try assuming the cards are installed in autoexec, run ipx and
if there is no errorlevel run netx.  Again, if netx doesn't give an error,
then you can use a utility I've seen in the form of isnovell.zip (it came
on disk with _Building_Local_Area_Networks_ from M&T Books) to see if
you're connected.  Another utility I found in netdrive.zip (again, on a
disk that came with the book) will automatically change drives to the first
available netware drive (if there are none, it does nothing).
But if you need software to probe what type of hardware is in there, I
don't know of a way to do it.  I don't think that would be too efficient
either -- having to store all sorts of copies of ipx and netx on the HD.

I hope I have helped.  You might want to check your favorite network admin.

I ran into a problem today, upgrading a machine to MS-DOS 5.0.
AutoCad v11 ran fairly quick on the system with MS-DOS v4.01
installed - upgrading to DOS 5.0 caused a tremendous slowdown
in performance (about ten minutes before the acad menu finally
showed up).

What's the hitch? The were no changes in the config.sys or
autoexec.bat files aside from the usual additions of the
SETVER.EXE and other, DOS 5 device statements. I am versed
in configuring DOS (maintained 597K in conventional mem after
the upgrade), and maintained the same SET= commands for
acad.

Given the missed-it-by-one-day case, I think I'd return it for a refund
since it "doesn't work with your system".  I'm sure STAC has some kind
of return-no-questions-asked period for their software (an assumption
on my part).  Most manufacturers do these days.  I have Stacker 2.0,
but it has worked flawlessly for me so I haven't searched the manual
for anything about return periods.

After obtaining your refund, I'd go down to the store and buy 3.0.

Stacker is supposed to work with QEMM.  There are several Technical Notes
on STAC's BBS dealing with the using the two together.  You might want
to download them.

Since I purchase 2.0 on 10/25 I immediately called their BBS to see if
I qualified for a free upgrade.  The free upgrade window is 10/26 ->
11/30.  I missed it by a day.  What a bummer.  I am not even using the
2.0 version because the first time I tried to stack an existing disk
it destroyed all my info.  The second time on my newlly formatted hard
disk the stacked partition upset chkdsk very much.  I think the
problem was with QEMM386.  They say they support it and everything,
but I quit using QEMM and my third attempt to create a stacked
partition was successful.  Unfortunately, after I loaded a 80 MB
stacked partition with a lot of my data (compiler, games, mathmatica)
I only got a 1.3 compression ratio and it wasn't worth the trouble.

The new version supposedly improves the stack compression by 10%,
speeds up the disk optimizer, lets you choose between space or speed
for optimization preferences, supplies easier installation tools,
windows stackometer, password protection, stackable floppies, compress
larger drives and enhanced transparency.

We use stacker on a few of the laptops at work my problem was the
first anyone of use had ever heard of.  I decided that it was just not
worth the trouble though.  I like my 607K of conventional memory.

I'm not sure if they will allow this.  As a recent (three or four
months) purchaser of Stacker, I got the Stacker 3.0 upgrade notice
with a cost associated with it (only about $50.00, I think).

Believe it.  Just because it has a SCSI interface does not mean that
the physical device is fast.  Lots of CD-ROMs are SCSI.  Does that
mean that they are fast?  No.

A floptical uses floppy disk technology, which means direct contact
between the media and the read-write head.  It only uses the optical
track for aliagnment precision.

Direct contact means that the disk cannot rotate at the high speeds
of Winchestor or Bernoulli technology drives.  The friction would
destroy the media at those speeds.

So you see, it is the physical design of the drive mechanism that
determines the maximum speed at which it can operate.  The interface
can restrict this speed, but it cannot give you faster access than

I could probably write all day about common IBM viruses, and still not

anti-viral software, and read the virus information that comes with it.
As for a good virus scanner, try F-PROT 2.06a ... It is available from

with SIMTEL20) in the pub/msdos/trojan-pro directory.  Filename is

Except if you have an old 5.25" DSDD drive.  Each time the motor
starts up you have to wait 4 seconds instead of 2.5 seconds.
If you can type the next command before the 2 second motor off 
timeout expires it does work quickly!
Despite this I still prefer DR-DOS because it's memory management
works better than MS-DOS.

My guess is that it is an attempt to save time if the floppy is actually
needed on a later transfer.

Hello netland!

Some time ago I bought a Archive (it has number 40 somewhere, uses 
DC2000, (40 MB) DC2120 (60 MB) tapes) streamer, which worked OK. And still 
works, but..

Now when I'm using it with Adaptec 1542, I get a lot of errors, lock- and 
hangups, and I have even stripped all TSRs, caches and stuff off. The 
program that I got with it, QICstream 1.9?? by Archive corp. is dated '89. 

Are the later versions of the (or some other) program available, which would 
help making these backups safer?
