I am considering buying a monitor from the mail order outlet "USA Flex". Since
they charge a 20% restocking fees, I like to ask any one who has had experience
buying from them. Are they a reliable source? Do you have problems with the
delivery and product they sell? And are they responsive if the product shipped
turns out to be defective?

Thanks -- John

Does anyone own or have any knowledge of the Mitsubishi Diamond Scan 16
monitor?  How does it stack up to other monitors (NEC, Mag) in picture
quality, reliability, etc?

Any info would be appreciated.

Does anyone have any experience with the Mitsubishi 16" and 17" monitors?

According to the October magazines, the Mitsubishi's are as good as the
equivalent NEC's, a couple of hundred dollars cheaper, and come with a
non-glare surface (for better or worse).  The 17" is a trinitron tube.

The speedstar 24x does not have drivers for os/2 2.0.  They are promised

The advantage of a Trinitron tube is not evident in the preformance
that it gives when new but in how it ages. Any tube can be adjusted to
align the red, green, and blue guns correctly, but as it ages the
alignment degrades. With its single gun, a Trinitron is said to be
immune from this problem.

>Most color monitors are pretty bad stuff, and seem to be the second

Yes. I never got headaches from my computer, although I work at a
terminal much of the day. After we switched to color Unix boxes, I have
to set limits on my terminal time or pay the price. And I am fortunate
to have an expensive 19" monitor and work in 1280x1024 resolution.
I've tried using colours that activate only one gun, I've tried using
green on black instead of black on off-white, and these have improved
the situation somewhat. I suspected that the mono tubes were higher
persistence since they are primarily used for text applications and
that the colour tubes flicker more. But I don't detect flicker from my
monitor. Could it be that 19" tubes are *too* large to be used from
close proximity? I understand that the eye is only hi resolution across
a 5 degree arc.

If he is using an HP compatible laser printer (PCL4/5), does he
have sufficient RAM for 300 dpi full page graphics.  Most of these
printers are sold with just 512K RAM which is sufficient for half
page of 300 dpi graphics.

Er, well, actually two:

(1) Can Diamond's "programmable" clock synthesizers generate
_any_ frequency?  Could they thus be used to drive a fixed-scan
monitor?

(2) Has anyone considered trying to reverse-engineer Diamond drivers
to discover the interface to the clock synthesizer?  It doesn't

    A quote from VSUM by Patricia M. Hoffman (quoted without permission -
sorry):
	     When Stoned infects that system hard disk, it copies the hard
	disk's original partition table to side 0, cyl 0, sector 7.  A copy
	of the Stoned virus is then placed at side 0, cyl 0, sector 1, the
	original location of the hard disk partition table.  If the hard
	disk was formatted with software which starts the boot sector, file
	allocation table, or disk directory on side 0, cyl 0 right after
	the partition table, the hard disk may be corrupted as well.

	In order to disinfect a system infected with the Stoned virus, the
	system must be powered off and booted with an uninfected, write-
	protected boot diskette.  If this is not done, the virus may
	re-infect diskettes as soon as they are disinfected.

	There are many programs which can disinfect Stoned infected
	diskettes and hard disks.  To successfully use one of these, follow
	the instructions with the program.

	To remove Stoned manually, the DOS SYS command can be used on
	5.25" 360K diskettes.  On the hard disk, the original partition
	table must be copied back to side 0, cyl 0, sector 1.  This can be
	performed with Norton Utilities, or other sector editors.


Since it copies itself to the original location of the partition table it
must redirect any calls to that table in order for your computer to
function. This is just a logical assumption so if it is flawed, please
correct me.

Isn't this the one that has things like 20% more expensive than if you bought

Bob (et. al.),

The VL-Bus (tm) operates up to 66MHz, but the connector
technology limits it to 40MHz.  Therefore, if your motherboard
has VL-Bus (tm) slots, then it will be a max of 40MHz.  For
all-in-one type boards, they can go as high as 66MHz.  Since
the only real processor which runs over 40MHz is the 64-bit
P5, this should not be much of a problem.

Also, be aware that at 40MHz, only ONE slot should be
available.  Up to 33MHz, TWO slots should be used (three, if
they are buffered... read as have more waitistates).  Even
with one slot, you could still have video or IDE on the
motherboard (ie. you can have two devices... one on the
m'board and the other as a slot card).

		I currently have an 80mb hard disk and have found this about 
	5 times too small. So when I buy my next pc I plan to get a larger 
	one so that I have greater than 400mb. 	
	What I want to know is,
1/  is it better to get two fair sized disks,(say
    200 mb each) or to get one large 400-500mb disk.
    Does having the two disks make more sxnce as if an
    error occurs, you still have one disk? What I mean is 
    that if track 0 goes bad on the large disk, the disk is
    stuffed. Whereas on a smaller one you've only done half
    your money?

2/  Does it work out cheaper to buy a large disk rather than
    two small ones or just partion a large disk?

Can anyone out there give me any advice? And I would be greatful for any
experiences good and bad with really big disks ( > 500mb but < 1500mb).
Thank for any replies

Check out the October 27th, 1992 issue of PC MAG (it just came out on
newsstands here in the US).  They have a good article on local bus
video and it also discusses the relative merits of VLB, EISA, MCA and
the forthcoming PCI.  An interesting point they make is that the
S3 86C911 is inherently a 16-bit card and can't take advantage of the
the 32-bit path of local bus designs.  I imagine the same would be
true of a EISA S3 card, so this is something you will want to check
it out.
