Subject: Laptops that Run UNIX?
Organization: The Off Beat
Date: Fri, 8 Jan 1993 17:07:38 GMT

Can anyone suggest laptops that would run a reasonable version of Unix?
It doesn't need to be incredibly fast (e.g., I don't need a SPARCbook),
but should run some version of Unix well.

Please suggest laptop and Unix system combinations, if you can.

The dual screen mode in Turbo 6 works probably only with a Hercules/MDA screen
and an EGA/VGA screen. The external display port on laptops displays the same
as on the LCD screen and cannot be accessed separately, IMHO.

Sorry. :-(

Date: 7 Jan 93 17:46:00 GMT

News-Software: VAX/VMS VNEWS 1.41

I've got an older Sharp laptop, the type with just two floppies and
no HD, only CGA graphics, etc. I can't get my serial port to work-
The built-in setup menu lists a COM1 and COM2 as "not present", and
it won't let me select those segments of the menu for changing. Every-
thing else works fine in the setup menu, and my Procomm + software
and modem work fine on other computers. Anyone have experience with these
machines? 
	My modem's "send data" light stays illuminated when the computer
is on, and the "receive data" light flickers when either floppy is in 
operation. The send data light only goes off of the machine is turned
off or the modem cable disconnected.
	I have no manual for this computer, is there something simple
I'm overlooking? I've spent hours trying everything I could think of.
My primary use for it was to be as a terminal, so I'd really like to 
ge that serial port to work....

			    Thanks for your thoughts,

My most difficult trip was to Canada (???!!!)  on entry, I clearly showed them
my notebook machine with no visible response, sort of yeah, yeah, we see 'em
all the time.  When I got ready to leave, they couldn't find where I declared
it on entry and went ballistic.  I had this happen 15 years ago concerning a
computer program listing that was about 15,000 lines of code.  Thought I was
trying to sneak something secret out of the country I suppose.  In any case,
beware of easy entry as the exit is not so easy......

If your entry inspector is thorough, I suspect it works better....

Greetings,

  I have a Z248 which lost it's floppy a while back.  For Xmas, my kids got
me a high density 3.5 drive.  Problem is that i'm still at msdos 3.1 which
I gather doesn't support the high density drive.  To test the new drive, 
my brother stopped by with a old 5.25 and dos 5.0.  We tried to run SETUP
and after about 10 clicks from the floppy, it said 

error r6003, Integer divide by 0.

  Also, after this error, all the disks appeared empty when a DIR was used.
Crashing the machine cleared this up.  Any of this ring any bells?

  Since I don't normally follow this list, i'd appreciate direct mail. Thanks!

Could you tell if the focus is good enough to show 1152x910 Linux/X when
you do not mind the flicker? Howabout 1024x1024? Can you adjust 1024x1024
to be a square?

Is the screen surface etched or coated?

I have been waiting to buy Compaq's or Zeniths Flat monitor if they are
good enough. The resolution question is one and the other is if they can
sync vertically high enough to achieve reasonable INTERLACED frame rates
in high resolutions. Eg. 1152x910 at 60 Hz (120 Hz frame rate) interlaced
is much better than 60 Hz noninterlaced. But I am afraid they have not had
enough thoughts to ergonomy (compare to Philips which pushes their 160 Hz
sync capability in their adds.)

One thing that I've noticed, under X, the display is quite steady at this

the display.  To be honest, I haven't tried ALL of the drivers for
Windows, but only the ZDS high-res ones and the 8514a ones. (This is on a

The Novaterm .SFX archives are stored in LZH format.  You can use the LHA
program (formerly LHARC) to test the archives on whichever host you're
downloading them to.  If they check out OK, then your problem is likely
in your transfer to the C64.  They self extracted fine on my machine.

Have any of you checked out the program "c64.zip" at ftp.cco.caltech.edu?
(/pub/rknop/INCOMING/c64.zip). For those of you who can display HERCULES,
this is ingenious! The guy completelt emulated the 6510, partially
emulated the video and sound chips, and then COPIED the ENTIRE OPERATING
SYSTEM (interpreter, kernal...) WITH LITTLE MODIFICATION! What does that mean?
It means it emulates a REAL 64! Even run ML programs on it! WOW!
He also went as far as to emulate a 1541 disk drive. The screen is all bitmap,
it emulates the REAL vic chip, exept it's b/o and can't really do sprites.
PLEASE! CHECK IT OUT! It even emulates a c64 keyboard! (ex. instead of
SHIFT-2 being @..its "!!!) Everyone MUST try this!!! Make sure you get
c64.txt, the translated docs, which are in the same directory. I found
this AMAZING!!!

Quite true, although the converse is also quite true... there are many
things that can be done with a PC that a C-64 couldn't dream about.
(Well... maybe it could... but telnet'ing from an Ethernet card on a C-64
emulating a VT102 doesn't sound like much fun!)

Of course, there are some games for the 64 that a mere 80286 could never
pull off, since AT's don't have VICs or SIDs...
