Hello

A friend of mine in South America wants to connect a PC to an X.25 
packet-switched network. He claims he needs a modem (I assume it must
be a synchronous one) and a special card for the PC of which he only
knows a particular brand, called MICROTROL CI X.25 X (HW+SW X@%/ASCII
UNIX/XENIX). (He plans to run SCO Xenix on the PC).

Can someone give me any information about all this? Specifically, where
can I find vendors for this type of equipment and exactly what to ask 
for?

Please reply by email, I can summarize if there is interest.

Thanks in advance.

Regards.
Jorge

I'm using what you want right now. A Paradise clone (@$100 2 years ago).
It has 512K vram standard (upgrade to 1024K "fairy" cheap @ $10 or $20).
It will run in both 8 and 16 bit bus.  
The extra memory is nice - but needed only if you want higher res. and more
colors. 512K is enough for 800x600 x16 colors, or 1024x768 x 4 colors (interlaced). 
It works great. There are also many other "cheap" svga cards with the same
features. You should have no problem finding one.  Since you're on a limited
budget, don't be fished in by the newer "hot" cards - they'll be dirt cheap in
a year or so.  Try something in the $50-100 range. Also, any decent dealer
will let you trade it for another it you don't like it after a trial run.
Just make sure it comes with the most recent drivers for AutoCad, Windows,etc.

Good Luck,

Hi, two weeks ago I read an article which said that there are rumours 
about a 586-Clone developed by Nexgen which will be produced by Fujitsu
and HP and distributed by Ascii. It should be available this fall (according 
to the mag).

The magazine is called ' PC Professionell' (german) and I don't know
whether it is  an international mag (PC Professional ?). It was its
9/92 issue.

They also said if this is true that the prices for the upcoming 586 should
be very low (just slightly above what you currently pay for a 486-50).

Now I would like to know if anyone out there has heard of this too (and
from another source) or if anyone has information concerning this clone.

So, which is better: a 50Mhz DX2 or a 33Mhz DX?  (Yeah, I know, it depends.)
And this is NOT an academic question, these kinds of systems are showing up
in the discount stores for roughly the same $$.  What you are saying would
seem to say that most of the time the 50Mhz DX2 will beat the 33Mhz DX,
right?

Well, my DMA saga continues. Several people told me after my last post that
vanilla MS-DOS does map virtual to physical as in real mode until you start
filling memory up (contrary to what I had claimed). I now have basic DMA 
working on a 386, having fixed the timing problem that had been causing the
virtual DMA to fail.

So far, so good, but I still need a `proper' mapped solution for general use,
especially under Windows. Several people (not least Ralf Brown)have drawn my
attention to the existence of the Virtual DMA specification (VDS) which sounds
like just what I want, but beyond the information in Ralf's interrupt listing
nobody seems to know much about it. Can anybody enlighten me, or point me some
documents?

Summary: Experience on Octec Hippo III motherboards, anyone?
Keywords: 486-motherboard, spurious reboot, hardware errors

The symptoms of this sick machine are that it reboots spuriously and 
spontaneously, whether running DOS or SCO Unix 3.2.4. The brand name
is OCTEC HIPPO III, and it's other cards include Racal-Interlan 6510
ethernet card, Adaptec SCSI card, hercules-clone display card and 16M
of memory. It also has 256 k of cache memory.

It has been observed to reboot while idling under DOS 5.0, and it has
also rebooted while in the process of a Unix shutdown. Furthermore, it
reboots about once a day under SCO Unix.

Does anyone have any experience with this manufacturer? Are there perhaps
BIOS settings, or I/O bus effects that may cause this behaviour? Any and
all clues will be appreciated... thanks in advance.

for example).  Claims such as "we load up all 8 drive bays without any

similarly configured EISA systems.  Anyone have any opinions on what is

Do they still follow that IBM things? Well, compatible is compatible! You 
did not mention that if you could boot from flopy. Your hard disk is not 
recognized by BIOS which means no boot from flopy, no boot from hard, then 
go to BASIC ROM. You just need to update CMOS, advanced CMOS set up is for 
better performance. Your computer should boot from flopy and hard, if set up 
is correct.

Firstly, you are given several DMA speed options simply because not all
configurations support High Speed DMA. So you can simply resign yourself
to the fact that you have to use a lower backup speed.

Otherwise, you have probably got one of the many floppy drives that
cannot stay off the bus for more than 7 microseconds, otherwise they
will report data overrun. In the case you can just try to lower the
Adaptec's bus on time from the default of 11 to 7 microseconds. To do
this you just specify a neat little parameter to aspi4dos.sys.

   Good test vectors are NOT cheap, and they allow for shorter tester
usage.
   Random, Pseudo-Random, and God forbid, sequential testing of all combinations
might be cheap but consume a lot of tester time.

Does anybody know anything or have any experience with this unit? I've seen
it for US$368 with 5 free discs which sounds attractive. Plus it is an
external unit with external play controls which makes it easy to use and
requires no caddy. However it is not MPC compatible (seek time is 700ms).
Is this a problem with multimedia or will it mean it will take longer
to find tracks. The Tandy CD ROM which is bundled with their multimedia
system has a seek time approaching 1s but it seems to be okay.

Yeah, it's built right into the BIOS PROM on the card :-)
Run the DOS debugger and do a g=DC00:6 assuming you left your PROM at the
default address.
There is also a DMA test utility at DC00:9, you should try it to make
sure your system is fully reliable with the 1542 card.

Somebody here was given an ATI Small Wonder Graphics Solution Card.
The card was dated 1988 and is release 2. Unfortunately, there is
no documentation with the card and this person is having trouble
getting the card to work with a Packard-Bell 80286 machine. 

If you have a brief summary of the jumper and DIP switch settings
for the ATI Small Wonder Graphics Solution Card, please forward a
copy to me. If there's enough interest I'll repost a summary to the
net.

Thanks,

	The Commodore 1084 will NOT support EGA, VGA or any SVGA.

	It will work great with your VCR, esp. if its the stereo 1084S.
