Gary Schneider notes incorrectly that the NEC-95 is dependent on
an EEPROM to switch configs from hp to postscript by software
that will self destruct after 10,000 switches. The manual says that
this was so of EARLIER NEC printers, not this one.

Speak.exe is a SFX (Self Extracting File) that contains a PC Speaker driver,

Subject: CD-ROM question
Organization: University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, USA
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 1992 20:55:58 GMT


I have an opportunity to buy a CD-ROM cheap, but I have a question about
its usability in Windows and as an MPC unit.

It has a normal 150k transfer rate, but the current owner, while unable to
verify, assumes the unit has a very slow seek time (>700ms).

I know that is slow, but does that make it unusable as an MPC unit? 
Should I get it (the price is outstanding) and cope with slower seeks?

I really do not know very much about CD-ROM, so please forgive my
questions if they are silly.

Thanks for your help.

Subject:      Windows bug?

I am running windows 3.1 While using Filemanager, instead of getting
the size of the file (for example 12,345 bytes) I only get the most
significant digits (12 bytes). On the right side of the screen when I
begin selecting files, the total of all files selected reports the
same thing. My whole hardrive (162MB) is reported as 1 byte!
When I check for memory (under about Excel, Word, ...) It reports
9 kbytes free. I have verified using other packages than this should
read 9 thousand some odd kilobytes.
I reported this to Microsoft, and other installations in our group
do not report the same scenerio. Has anyone else found this?
One solution suggested was to exorcize the computer....

Sounds like you have a beta/debug version of the Speedstar drivers.  Debug
output messages under Windows are written to the AUX port which a developer
will have either driving a dumb terminal on a COM port or redirected to
a secondary monitor or window.  Unfortunately if you don't have the tools
to redirect the output and nothing on COM1 (where AUX normally goes) you
will get the message you describe.  You should get updated drivers, but
as a temp/kludgy fix you could get the ox.sys driver from cica which 
will redirect AUX output to the mono card memory range, exclude b000-b7ff
to be sure nothing gets clobbered and the messages will disappear.

 I am using an external 14.4k modem, and the manufacturer's recommandations

 I am using ProcommPlus (old DOS version) in a window, NO fifo in UART...

 I have also used this setting for a pc-to-pc connection to run LapLink,

we need to revolt against Microsoft!  (Unfortunately they have a grip on the

I don't know, but i would suggest you to try to edit the win.ini directly
so that the [fonts]-section also contains the local drive:directory\file

If you do not mind buying hardware/software (I think it uses HW) then
you might look into Watchdog.  I know it has SW for sure, but thinking about
it, is seems the system could be booted from a floppy.  BUT if done so
no files on the HD could be accessed, since they are encrypted by the
SW.  I am not for sure who makes it, but it does meet the DIA Security
Requirements. It hink it is able to go to C2, but not for sure.

It (Watchdog) requires user accounts, login/out, logs you out after
X minutes of inactivity, encrypts files, and of course has passwords,
etc. for user control.  I am not for sure if it will work with
Windows or not.  Hope this helps, Gary Jarrell.
(P.S.  I am not associated with Watchdog in anyway).

          Good luck.  You'll probably get what you pay for!  ^^^^^^^

Talking about this,

WHen I run a DOS application within a window, all goes fine.
When I run a DOS application in full screen, all goes fine.

BUT When in a full screen DOS app, I switch to Windows and Back to the DOS
app, the video works improperly, not only a corrupted screen, but any further
video accesses are incorrect. The problem is that I loose the characters and
have only backgrounds. For example in a Menu, I get just a gray box with a
solid green selection bar, but no characters. The program works OK but all
viedo output is like this. WHY????????????????????????

The same happens when I put the Full screen DOS app in a Window. When
windowed it looks good, I switch to Full Screen and I see just the
background, I return to a window and it looks good again !

Also, when I press CTRL-ALT-DEL to terminate a hanged app, the Windows
Screen that asks if you want to reboot, terminate the current app or
cancel the operation is also corrupted.

Any Help ?

Thanks

Shalom,
Memo.
