Subject: Help with RODIME Drive!!!!!!
Date: 22 Dec 92 00:25:21 GMT
Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J.


I am in desparate need of some info about RODIME hard drives.
More specifically, I have recently purchased the Rodime 3259T,
which is a 210MB SCSI drive.  Whan I posted an inquiry about an
Always Technology adapter, someone sent me a mail with horror
stories about RODIME drives:  he called them "Rodents".  I have
only had the drive for two-weeks, and the rep assured me that a
return for another drive would be possible, but this drive was
such a great buy.  I would like to keep it, however if there is a
high probability of failure I will trade it in for the Maxtor.
Someone please respond, and help me find the best resolution for
this "apparent" dilema.

Thanks for the help (in advance),

Roy F. Hardgrove

Summary: Help!
Followup-To: comp.sys.apollo
Keywords: DSP90, Systech, MTI

I was going through some old boards in my drawer here and came across
one that has me stumped:  It's made by systech, and is labelled as
MTI 900/1600  50-000004-9.  The numbers lead me to believe that it is
an old tape controller card.  It has a single 50-pin connector at the
top along with 10 LEDs, a 5-pin socket labelled J2, and a normal/diag
switch.  It also has 4 separate 8 switch DIPs on-board.  Anybody know
what this beast is?  The 800/1600 led me to believe low density tape
controller, but it's not a Pertec interface (needs 2 cables, not 1).
Help!

I have CC68k which works.
Except that it generates assembly code that's ALIEN!
That is it's entire coding scheme does not work with any assembler I
have.  I would load up an example butI would need to dig to many piles
of disks.  

Point is it has been impeding my progress toward utilization of a 68k
processor in an embeded application.  

I have 3 options.  Either write an assembler that acepts it output,
find and assembler that accepts it's out put, or get another compilor!

The assembler should generat motorolla s-record format.

Thanks

Dear Olaf:

Thanks for the positive review of our product. I'd just like to point
out that the actual list price (US) is only half what you quoted. For
around $2000, you get a PC-hosted toolkit that includes an optimizing
ANSI C cross compiler, assembler, linker, librarian, and other tools.
For just $200 more, you also get C++.


(Pardon the Plug!!)


Thanks and good luck with your development projects.

Subject: Xerox 1186 Questions
Organization: MausNet (Mitglied im IN e.V.)
Date: Sun, 20 Dec 1992 21:05:00 GMT

Hi everybody out there!

I got 2 Xerox 1186 machines. Now I've got the problem to connect one of them to
my PC. I need this connection, to transfer software for the Xerox, which I got
via FTP, from the PC to the Xerox. One of those disks contains the PCL, another
contains a pacman for the Xerox, so I really need them ;-)

Are there any possibilities to read/write the Xerox-Floppies in the PC? Or can
I connect those two machines via serial cable? What kind of cable (null-modem
or normal serial) do I need? I have only the Lisp-User-Files from Xerox for the
1186, so the only protocol for serial communication I have is the kermit
protocol. Can I transfer binaries with it?

And another question: I got the machines without manuals. Is there anyone who
has some manuals, he/she could send me? I need all manuals, I can get for it.
So if you have programming manuals or technical manuals or anything like that
you don't need anymore, please send me a mail, so I can get them. I have the
Lyric-Lisp system and the Executive 12.3 on my machine.

And the last question for today: one of the machines is running very well. The
other runs the base-system, but with every sysout I install on it, I get an
error "0935" - what does that mean? Any suggestions to repair it?

bye, Georg

Subject: Medley questions
Organization: Info-1100 Mailing List
Date: Tue, 22 Dec 1992 22:51:07 GMT

I have a bunch of questions about Medley that I had been meaning to
ask...

- Is Medley 2.1 for Sun shipping yet?

CAPS LOCK

- Does the Caps Lock key now work with OpenWindows on the Sun?

- Is the VIRTUALKEYBOARDS that doesn't clobber the Caps Lock key
  shipping with 2.1?

PRINTING

- I noticed that printing the "Hardcopy listing of directory" from
  FILEBROWSER to a PostScript printer doesn't work correctly.  The
  top edge and left edge appears to be cut off the printout.  Has
  this been fixed?

- Many _quotation marks_ do not seem to print "correctly" on PostScript
  Printers (From TEdit using CLASSIC fonts via POSTSCRIPTSTREAM):

    - The single quote (CHARCODE 39 decimal) appears straight up-down on
      Interpress printers and on the screen.  It looks like a single
      "right" quote on PostScript printers.

    - The single right quote (CHARCODE 185) appears that way on the screen
      and Interpress, but prints as "quotedblbase" in PostScript.

    - The double right quote (CHARCODE 8557) prints as an "m" on PostScript.

- Using the CLASSIC font, the vertical bar (CHARCODE 124) seems to be
  "extra-wide" (extra blank space on either side) when printed on
  PostScript.

- [To John Sybalsky:] Has the diacritics accent support in POSTSCRIPTSTREAM
  been completed?

SERVING FILES TO 1108s FROM SUNS

- Using Medley 1.1 on 1108, TCP/IP communication with UNIX file servers
  on the Sun doesn't work too well.  (FileBrowser doesn't work with
  wildcards, TEdit GETs do not work- somehow finding the file
  "corrupt".)  Is there anything that can allow 1108s to work with UNIX
  file servers?

Many thanks and Merry Christmas to all.

We are trying to support the Xerox 4235 printer in XPPM (DJDE) mode
from an IBM compatible PC through the parallel port.  We would like
to imbed the DJDE's in the data stream.

However, it seems as if the Xerox 4235 does not support CR LF or FF
type carriage control in XPPM mode.  This, of course, makes it    
difficult to support standard PC type applications which imbed DJDE's
in the data stream.

Any information regarding how to get the Xerox 4235 to support CR LF 
and FF carriage control in XPPM mode would be greatly appreciated.

I have inherited an 8000 server from another department and have hooked it
on to my local 1186 network and it works like a charm but the power supply
makes a horrible noise-like a solenoid screaming. I replaced the power
supply with another from an old 1108 that worked fine but the new power
supply screams also in the 8000 server box. Does anyone know if there is
another power supply in the frame that drives the solenoid in the main
power supply? If so I could try changing that. Any advice would be
appreciated.
Better still, does anyone know of a way to download the server software
over the ethernet to an 1186/6085 box? The 80 MB harddrive and 3.7 MB
1186 box would seem to be a more reliable home for the clearing house,
mail, file, and print server than these old 1108 boxes. Ideas on this
front would also be appreciated.

Subject: 64180 question...
Date: 3 Jan 1993 00:34:57 GMT
Organization: Sun Microsystems Inc., Mountain View, CA
NNTP-Posting-Host: pepper
Keywords: internal IO

So this ones driving me a bit batty. I've got a single board computer
based on the 64180 chip (Vitrax IX to be precise) which has a built
in BASIC interpreter (buggy and slow) but a mechanism for calling
machine language functions (primitive but usable). To be honest I'm
not a 64180 hacker but know Z80 code quite well. So I put a machine
language function into RAM that is supposed to output a character to
the ASCI port that looks like this :
	PUSH BC
	PUSH AF
	LD	A,64	; Set up the ASCI
	OUT	0
	LD	A,2
	OUT	2
	LD	B,10
	LD	E,30	; "&" character
LOOP:	IN	4	; Read the status port
	AND	2	; And it with TDRE
	JR	Z,LOOP	; Loop if it isn't empty
	LD	A,E	; Get current character
	OUT	6	; Send it out
	INC	E	; Add 1 to E
	DEC	B	; Subtract one from B
	JR	NZ,LOOP	; Loop if not done
	POP	AF
	POP	BC
	RET

Pretty simple, should just send 16 characters to the serial port and
then it returns. NOT. 

Now the weird part is that if I use the "OUT 6,48" statement in BASIC
it works fine, out comes the character. If I change the OUT 6 in the
code to an OUT C0 (which is a parallel port hooked up to some LEDs) the
LEDs all change. Now the rest of the I/O space from 40H - FFH is decoded
so I don't believe the internal registers have been relocated, unless
the 64180 has a new 16 bit I/O address range that I'm missing.

So the questions are :
	1) Is there any I/O instructions that are specific to the
	   64180 (Z180) that I'm missing here?
	2) How can I figure out where the "IO" block is?
	3) What is a good 64180 reference? I've got Hitachi
	   sending me something (could be just the data sheet
	   though)

Sure -- that's what PenPoint on AT&T's Hobbit is.  It seems as though
the number of Hobbit-based PenPoint units will exceed Intel-based
(running PenPoint) perhaps by the end of 1993 with Eo's 440 and 880.
It seems like at least as much new HW development for running PenPoint
will be based upon Hobbit, rather than Intel.  A lot of the Japanese
HW companies have already said that they'll have Hobbit products by
the end of 1993 or soon afterwards.

As you probably know, a successful OS does not always come to be via shear
technical superiority.  However, the chances of GO failing have dropped a
great deal with AT&T's absolute committment to its success, and the belief
that it plays a vital role in the Personal Communicator vision.  Few know
it yet, but these are exciting times...

	Does the PenPoint operating system use 32bit pointers by default
or do they do the FAR/NEAR trick of Microsoft (just spent a couple of
days of misdirection, excuse the pun, on that one).

Also, anyone have a nice little program to make a Momenta talk to
a workstation....any workstation (Sun/SGI preferred)?  Just want to transfer
ASCII over the RS-232's (or parallels if that is an option for the SGI's).
