That is an advantage, but it's not the only one.  6309 native mode executes
almost all instructions common to it and the 6809 in fewer clock cycles than
the 6809.  (Almost all because, of course, since the 6309 has more registers
than the 6809, interrupts have to save more registers and thus take longer.)

The sticky part about running OS-9/6809 on a 6309 in native mode is that it
means the format of the "register packet" changes, so that device drivers
(among other things) all have to be modified.  Does someone know what
device drivers Gale Force has patches for?

I am looking for a disk controller for a Tandy Model III.
Does anyone have any idea where I might locate one??

Used or new, I am open to all suggestions.

The subject pretty much says it all.  I have a Tandy 3000 HL computer
that I recently purchased and it came with some new BIOS chips, (from
1987 I believe).  It came with two difference CMOS programs.  (The
original one and then one to support the extra features of the new BIOS
chips ... features like 1.44 floppy, hard disk table with more than 15
entries, etc).  Anyway, the new CMOS program was accidently corrupted
when I was doing some work with the floppy drive and I need to fine some
one that may have a copy.  HELP!

Ok, almost sounds like an MMU problem on the 68000 CPU board.  Do you have a
spare? (If not, you need to get one....)  Try another CPU.  I had similar
problems with an old 16B CPU (with the PAL upgrade) getting spurious IRQ's.
The problem was traced to a chip on the CPU card.  A new chip solved the
problem.  Then I upgraded to an 8MHz 6000 CPU (which is now idling at a modest
12MHz :-).).

It won't.  High Density drives (1.2 and 1.44 Meg) require a different data
rate which your disk controller has to be able to handle before you can use
one.  That's why I'm not using an HD drive on my CoCo yet.  ;-)

The 360K 5.25" and 720K 3.5" drives are pretty much interchangable, from
the hardware viewpoint.  From the eyes of the software, they are similar
but the 720K has 80 tracks where the 360K has only 40.  (Yes, a 3.5" 720K
drive looks, from the software's view, just like an 80-track 5.25" drive.)

Installing a 720K drive with MS-DOS is often just a matter of setting the
right SETUP options or DIP switches.  On some older machines, like the one
genuine IBM XT we have here, it takes a DRIVPARM= or DEVICE=DRIVER.SYS line
to make it work.

I don't know enough about the Tandy 1000 to know of a replacement drive
controller that will work, but you might want to call a vendor to ask.  For
example, one vendor I've bought from (JDR Microdevices, to be specific) sells
several high-density controllers designed for upgrades of older computers.
Make sure the vendor has a favorable return policy, just in case!  :-)

It is a set of patches and an optional 6309 chip that you put in your Coco. 
It patches the kernal, drivers and managers to give you faster performance.  I

Okay, I have already had my hard drive installed and it seems to work fine

I have a 8-bit Western Digital controller, and a SEAGATE ST-238R 32 MB

screen would flicker. And it does it every time it reads the hard
drive, therefore I can't catch what it's saying.

Could someone help me out here? Do I need a device driver? Does anyone

Some questions:

1.	It has a monochrome composite monitor connected to the RCA Jack

2.	Can a RS-232 port still be got for this beast?

3.	Can a hard disk be had for this computer?  How much $$ and from

While you can change the digital TTL signal level to analog 1 Vp-p video
signal level by using resistor network, the resolution of such a setup
will never be better than CGA. Also, the video monitor may not have a 
wide enough bandwidth to pull all information out of CGA signal.

For better CGA results, find a monitor with small dot pitch CRT, like those
used in IBM CGA monitor. Anyway, a CGA is a CGA. RS guys seem like the
regular TV CRT very much, and even use them in their low end VGA monitors.
But the price never better than mail house.

Two of the best are XT4 and FastTerm II.  XT4 is public domain, and
FastTerm II is shareware ($15, I believe).  Sorry, I don't have any
addresses for requesting these handy, but any decent TRS-80 computer
group should have them.  They are both probably in the public domain
libraries of TRSTimes and Computer News 80 as well.  See previous

and XMODEM CRC, and FastTerm II has those as well as XMODEM 1K and YMODEM.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could provide a tiny example
with any documentation on how to use assembly language to do

   file open
   file read
   file write
   file close

on the Tandy Model 100.

(making a dummy file filled with characters in BASIC and
then having to search memory in assembly to find those
characters and write over the top of them is no fun anymore)

Please reply by email if possible

Thanks

	Help help help!

	I own a WP2 with a 2400 bps modem.  I use it to communicate with
the school computer, which runs under Ultrix.

	I'd like to send files from the WP2 by way of the built in
CRC-Xmodem transfer protocol, but I have had no luck at all using the 
mainframe's xr/xs commands.  The terminal asks me to type a command into
the "modem program" like "zsend {filename}" and when I engage the upload
command in the WP2 everything locks up.

	I am using the modem at 300 baud right now just to read mail
since I can't get the setup to use flow control at all.  (Any remedies
for that are welcome as well.)

	But I suppose I am mainly wondering if there's a program out
there that would facilitate xmodem transfers between a Unix machine and
my lil' old Tandy.  Or if I am missing a major clue in using xr.  Our
machine has no man entry for xr.

	Much thanks in advance.
