Subject: CD-ROM --- trying to cache...
Organization: Texas A&M University, College Station
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 1992 15:49:27 GMT


Hello all,


 I've just purchased a CR-ROM drive (Chinon 435). It is a SCSI drive
with a _non_caching controller. So... I want to cache the drive. None
of the commercial programs will cache it. They all return errors like...

1. Invalid drive
2. Cannot cache network drive
etc...


I tried Norton DiskCache 6.01, SmartDrive (the one with Win 3.1). I am
using the CHINON2.SYS driver with MSCDEX.EXE 2.1. The drive letter is
'I:' and the LASTDRIVE=I is in my CONFIG.SYS.  I suspect that the drive
is being seen as a network drive (I see this from the errors and from
the documentation that was included with MSCDEX). What I need is a
caching program (either commercial or PD) that will handle a 'network'
drive.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I would be very greatful.

Thanks,
Cedrico.

NANSI.SYS has few advantages compared to ANSI.SYS - quicker display due
to writing directly to screen instead via BIOS, one (?) more escape
sequence recognized. NNANSI emulates VT100 (?) - having it loaded I was
able to connect to machine requiring at least VT100 using dumb terminal
program and have good full-screen display (probably the machine doesn't
use all VT100 capabilities, so I am not sure if NNANSI really emulates it).

Only one thing is allowed to use the HMA.  If you put DOS up there
(which uses about 48k of it, I think) then nothing else can go there.
What you really need to do is pick the biggest thing that can be put
into an HMA and put that there instead of DOS (assuming that it is
bigger than the 48k that DOS uses).

Date: Thu, 15 Oct 1992 01:43:56 GMT

Greetings:

We are developing a high-speed, multi-processor switch.  The
master processor is an 80386 and the network ports are slaved by
80186's (4 ports per 186).

Currently, as the product is still in it's early development
stage, we are surviving by running MS-DOS as the operating
system.  DOS simply does not suffice for the tasks we require
of the O/S; it's not fast enough, memory problems/limitations
etc.  Ideally, we would like to write a customized O/S for
the product but at the same time do not want to re-invent
the wheel.

The requirments for the O/S are very minimal -- bootstrap,
loader and rudimentary file system.  There is (or will be)
some sort of secondary storage (hard or floppy disk most
likely).  The only specification is that the O/S needs to
be as fast as possible. Questions I pose to the net, then, are:

1)  Is there a commercial 32 bit BIOS available for the
	386 architecture?

2)	Any sort of 32 bit 'stripped down' file system available?
	Even 'code snippets' at ftp sites would be helpful.

3)	Even better than 1) or 2) would be an actual 'bare-bones'
	32-bit OS as detailed above.

Any info/comments would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards,

Mike

PS Yes we have considered different Operating Systems (such as
OS/2 and Unix based systems) but have rejected them primarily
due to excessive overhead and royalty/licensing headaches.

*----
What kind of head-mapping does your SCSI controller do?  Chances are
that you have reached the 1023 cylinder limit of DOS, due to the
remapped geometry that your controller supplies.  This is just a
guess.  If it's correct, then it might be upgradeable by replacing
the controller firmware.  Adaptec has supplied BIOS and microcode
hex dumps to support a 128 head remapped geometry.

I have used Sigmaplot pretty extensively. While I wouldn't say that it
is the easiest program to learn, once you learn it all the power you need
is there. They have version for DOS, Mac and soon (or maybe already) for
windows. I have yet to find anything I can't do with it. I recommend it
highly. Having had no experience with the others I can't compare. But the
learning curve isn't too bad, everyone in my lab can use it, and some
were quite computer illiterate when they started.

Hi,

With MS-DOS 5.0 you can have partitions upto 2Gb (with a cluster size of
32 K!).  I have successfully FDISK'ed and FORMAT'ed a 1.2Gb drive without
any problems (other than the time it took to format !).

   The message "access denied" indicates that the item you are attempting
   to deleted has the attribute flag set as read only.  Normally this 
   applies only to files, but there are utility programs which can set
   and clear attributes for directories.  I think something like PCtools

DISKCOPY in DOS 1-3 will make an EXACT duplicate; DISKCOPY in DOS 4 & 5
will only change the volume serial number, everything else is EXACTLY
the SAME :-)

Make the DISKCOPY and go for it.  Norton's TextSearch utility can be
handy in such a case. You also might want to call the First Choice
folks to find out what they can tell you about how the data is stored.

Save the original...work from the diskcopy. A professional data-recovery

Why not make the primary partition just big enough to hold the boot
code?  Boot from it and immediately switch to the second partition.
I've seen this approach on smaller disks.  Don't see why it wouldn't
work in your friend's case.
