I have heard about software which cannot co-operate with the Cyrix, because
the chip is too fast and the software doesn't expect the results that soon :-)
I guess this only goes for badly written software. I have never had any
problems myself.

Anyhow, I don't expect the Cyrix (or any other co- or microprocessor) to be
completely free of bugs. They're just too complicated. If there aren't too
many annoying bugs then it's close enough to perfect for me.

				i called diamond tech support about this
. the problem is that the hicolor ramdac is not as fast as the regular
ramdac , and cannot support a 72Hz refresh rate in hicolor mode . if
your monitor does not support the slower ( 66Hz ? ) rate , or is not a
true multisync , it will use the 48 Hz interlaced mode instead .

It isn't that simple. They don't have a formatting ROM on them.
You use debug, but it's a series of port OUT commands to get it
going. I used to have a printout of this somewhere, but ...

Franklly, it's simpler to just use a disk prep program like Disk Mangler
or SpeedStor to do it for you.

I think it's something like 1mb/minute; I've never had a problem with a
mere 30mb free on my system.

Which local bus standard is worth waiting for, VESA or Intel's PCI?
What pros & cons for VESA over PCI and vice versa?  Please

I just had the same problem installing a western digital controller in a 286
motherboard.  After countless hours of messing with unmarked jumpers on the
mother board, I found the problem lies in the multi i/o card.  For some stupid
reason, the HDD controller jumpers must be set to enabled.  I don't know why
since there is no IDE drives connected, but this is the way it is.

Hope this helps...

Chris.

I have a 16 bit SVGA card Im trying to upgrade to 512K so I can use the 
800x600x256 mode. The card currently has 4 44C256 drams onboard. The IC's 
are of the 20 pin DIP variety. Are these 256x4 chips?  I also have some
Intel DRAMS (also 20 pin dips) which, when installed in an AT, give me 1meg
memory from 8 IC's. Are these 1024x4 chips? I want to install 4 of the Intel
DRAMS to get my 512K. I tried it and the board worked, but nothing recognizes
the (apparent) added memory. There are dip switches and a jumper I have not
tried fooling with yet.

The Intel DRAMS are marked P21014 and I can find no references to theses IC's
anywhere. Is my logic correct, and I just need to fool with these switches, or
have I completely made a fool of myself?

Subject: Having heat-related(?) problem on DTK, *HELP*
Organization: Med-Systems, Kingsport, Tennessee
Date: 10 Sep 1992 00:08:08 GMT
Keywords: heat dtk problem dtk

I'm having a real wierd problem on a DTK slimline case 286 system I 
thought someone on here might have seen before. I suspect somewhere 
there is an open that is making connection because of the heat, but
haven't discovered anything yet.

System:
       DTK 286-12 in a mini desktop case (sideways mounting cards)
       1MB ram, MFM hard drive off built-on controller (ST251)

Symptoms:
       When things are working normally, flipping on the power switch
       causes a quick beep and the system boots normally. When it's
       acting up, there is no beep right after power-up. The reason
       I say the problem is heat-related is that the system only
       seems to work fine when it's warm! When it's cool, turning it
       on causes the PS fan to spin up, the HD spins up and the 3 
       kbd lights flash once. If at that point I touch nothing, the
       system will finally _beep_ and boot up normally after about
       5 minutes.                

By the time it gets warm enough to finally fire up the CPU is VERY
warm. It will just about remove skin from a finger. After it's on and
warm a CTRL-ALT-DEL greets me with a quick beep and reboot every time.

I know it's probably just an open somewhere, but figured someone on here
might have possibly seen something very similar to this before and may
be able to point out a good place to start. I don't read this group too
regularly, so please E-Mail any help you may be able to give! Thanks...

I too bought the CS1024 in 1990.  I was told by Gateway that it was the same
as the MAG monitor.  I also saw in one or two reviews that Gateway monitors
were made by Tatung.
  It seems to me that people in this thread have been assuming that MAG
actually manufactures the monitors.  I see no reason to believe that this is
true.  It could very likely be the case that MAG and Gateway monitors come
from the same source manufacturer, namely Tatung.
	In any case, my monitor developed three serious problems in two years
(most recent: no picture, a crippling defect).  When I called Gateway, they
gave me a (714) area code number.  Turned out to be MAG Innovision.  They do a
flat rate repair: $125 including return shipping.  My monitor never seemed
quite bright enough when it did work, but the image was otherwise of very good
quality (excellent convergence, no pincushion, stable).  So I will repair it.
I've had nothing but good experiences with the rest of my Gateway system.

72-bit SIMM?  Where can I get one of those?  The SIMMs I think you're
thinking of are 9-bit SIMMs; those are the "old" SIMMs and the ones
now in wide use on PC-class machines.

There's really nothing "new" about the 36-bit SIMM, anyway; IBM has
been using them on PS/2's, and workstation vendors (Sun, DEC, etc.)
have been using them for years.  It's just their entrance on the PC
market that makes them seem new.

As for the advantages, the primary ones are board space and
fabrication cost.  You can cram as much memory onto one 4MBx36 SIMM as
you can on four 1MBx9 SIMMs.  It eliminates the need to have multiple
SIMMs for a bank of memory.  (Yes, it is a bit odd at first to watch a
machine actually *work* with only one SIMM in it, but you'll get used
to it.)  And I would imagine that one 4MBx36 SIMM is less expensive to
manufacture than four 1MBx9 SIMMs.

I'd be more than happy to see the industry move to 36-bit SIMMs.
There is really no disadvantage, and it would keep me from having to
explain to customers why they need to add memory four SIMMs at a time
in their 386...

There will be timing issues that need to be addressed. They are
simpliefied with only having two Local Bus Slots.

There is an article in the Computer Shopper this month that talks about
the Local Bus standards and the number of companies that have accepted
the Local Bus Standard. The Computer Shopper issue is the one with

Subject: Advice Requested On HP D1187A 20" Monitor

I have an opportunity to get the HP 1187A monitor at a good price.  Has
anyone used the monitor, and is it recommended for use as a multisync
going between standard VGA resolution and 1280x960 under Windows?  I'd
like to use it with a Diamond Stealth or other S3-based card.
Supposedly the HP monitor switches between four pre-set resolutions, but
this should not pose a problem should it, as long as those resolutions
are PC-standard ones (e.g., 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x960)?

Thanks,
