Hmmm... There are two major RAMDACs for the mach32 cards:

	ATI68830	up to 80MHz  PCLK
	ATI68875	up to 135MHz PCLK

I would gues you are using a card with the first one (just look at
your board and read the number on the second big IC). To get 1280x1024
non interlaced you would need a PLCK of at least 110MHz. The 68830
won't do that. Hence they recommended you to upgrade to the 68875.
But I don't know whether this is possible (these RAMDACs might not
have the same pinout ...).

Btw, the Ultra Pro is running fine in 1280x1024, althought I'm a
little bit disappointed by the image on the screen. It not very sharp,
at laest not that sharp how other 1280x1024 boards ...

Also I'm a little bit surprised about the performance of the new
boards. I did expect quite a bit more from the new mach32 given the
time ATI had to do the chip. I'm running X, and the mach8 gave me
85k xstones, while the mach32 gives me around 100k xstones ... Hence
let's wait for new faster boards ...

Hello, everybody.

I am looking for information on the above item.	
I think it is comparable to the BERNOULLI boxes.

How fast is it ?
Is it reliable ?
Is it better (cheaper) than buying a new harddisk ?
                 (mine is full ;-})
Can I use it for different OS (e.g. UNIX, OS/2, NeXTSTEP)?
		  (each on a seperate disk).
Can I boot from it ?


I would not use it primarily as a backup facility but as an additional
hard disk drive. Any comments on that ?????

Are there any drivers for OS/2 2.0 ?



Please e-mail direct to me or post to the net.
Thanks alot for any input

Don't know if its the same Micronics motherboards which you can get "off-
the-shelf" from the mail order houses - it might depend on what you are 
specifically looking for (processor, speed, bus type, etc.).

I know that they will sell just a motherboard to _an existing Gateway 2000 
customer_ (they tried to sell me a new motherboard for my 386DX25 when I 
wanted to upgrade the BIOS), but I don't know if they will sell just a 
motherboard to the general populous.

For the T1000 I know you needed a little utility to switch b/w

I have a Colorado tape drive on my PC, and it's adequate, but what I'd

Stores 2.0 (or is it 2.6) Gbytes on a tiny, tiny 4mm tape. I know they're

  I have seen much higher capacity drives than 2 meg in a 5 1/2 inch

  Some laptops have the 2.5 inch drives that are also low power.  HP has
  a 1.5 inch 20 meg disk for palmtops but I don't think that it's in anything
  yet.  Post or email some more data and I'll think some more.

and seems to be a good buy at $459.  Does anyone have one of these monitors?
How does it perform, especially in the higher modes (800x600 +)?  How are the
picture controls (number, location)?  Any complaints about USAFlex in 
general?

If you don't like this one, can you recommend another (1280x1024 is a must,
as is cost-efficiency)?

The CTX 14" SVGA monitors (5468A or 5468NI, right?) do not have a
built-in degausser.  Looks like our friend is in for a trip to the
local computer repair place.  I suppose you could also try degaussing
it yourself with a bulk-tape eraser, although you should probably get
somebody to show you how to do it properly lest you damage your

Either set the modem to port 4 or move the mouse to comm2.
Comms 1 and 3 share the same irq as does comms 2 and 4. You must use alternate
IRQ's for it to work.

Hello.

I have several tape drives/interface cards that I would like to try

DRIVE: ARCHIVE model 5945c

Interface Card:    Mfg: Archive
		   labeled assy 80147
		   one of the chips has a label - 80234-003

		  I can identify some of the jumpers: 

			drq/dack jumpers are labeled
			irq jumpers are labeled

		there are 3 sets of jumpers I can not identify from
		the info on the board: 

			a set of 7 jumpers labeled a3-a4

			a set of 4 jumpers label kk,hh,ff,nn

			a set of 3 jumpers labeled cc,y,dd

the card is an 8 bit card, with a ribbon cabel connector on the top, 
and a 25-pin connector on the back plate.  the board also has 5 leds
labeled ds1-ds5 that are next to the jumpers labeled cc,y,dd


The cards originally used a software called sytos - but as the drives
were removed from pc's, the software was deleted, and our tech shop
does not have an copies (we only had 4-5 of these tapes total).

any help on what the above sets of jumpers do would be appreciated

Date: 11 Nov 92 11:24:13 GMT

I would be grateful for advice on the following problem.  I have tried
to keep this short-ish, if you would like any additional information, 
please feel free to mail me.

Back in the summer I was getting intermittent error messages, such as
	Cannot write to Drive C:
        Data error reading Drive C:
and, from WordPerfect,
	Disk error 23 reading drive C:
Appearances were, as stated, intermittent and not consistent - i.e. it
would give the error but on an immediate repeat of the operation be O.K.
However, it gradually became more frequent.  After a bit of (admittedly
ill-advised!) fiddling by my partner and myself, I took the machine to
the Computer Unit support group.

They restored the machine to usability.  To do this they used "wdformat"
(I believe this is a LL formatter?).  They told me that the
logical->physical translation had got itself confused.

I have not used the machine much since, but this week I it started it
again, but with drive F:
	Sector not found reading Drive F:
as well as the WordPerfect "Disk error 23" msg.
The "Sector not found" was while copying a file from F: to floppy.
However, the 2nd attempt to copy the same file was successful.

The drive is a Seagate ST1239A, the PC is an Elonex 386/B25, and I am
told that the controller is on the motherboard (I don't know whether
this is usual or not, so please don't flame me).  The machine was bought
in December 1990 and has been lightly used (I estimate about 170 days use
to date).

This is not the the first hardware related problem -  had one with cache 
memory board just after the 12 month warranty expired :-(.  The board is 
now out of machine - if it is in the machine boots sometimes but not 
other times (and yes, the BIOS option has been reset).

So, have I just got a Friday afternoon machine?  Or is it a problem 
"upstream" of the disk and cache perchance?  Possibly the motherboard?  
Or have I just been unlucky with the cache and now with the disk or 
controller (the one on the motherboard)?

I would be grateful for any advice on the possible source of my
problem(s) with the machine, and pointers as to what to do about it all.

Many thanks,

Stella

Are you sure you got the right drivers installed?
I have the 14" and ran 800x600 no problem now currently running
1024x768 with no problems. but I hade to use the latest drivers from
gateway. Contact their tech support and ask.
