Sticton is in 2 flavors, 2 spindle sticton, and head actuator stiction.  
Basically, the lubricant -fails- sortof.  It either got to hot, and becomes
waxey, or the lubricant carrier evaporates, drying out the oil, or the oil
eventually just leaks out.
When you have head actuator stiction, (less common in my experience) but
this was the quantum problem, a common solution is to run the drive to hot,
and run a head random exercisor program for several days straight. This tends
to -spread- out the waxy lubricant, eventually scraping it out to the outside
ends of the travel.  At this point, stiction mostly and generally stops being
a probl.
Spindle stiction (more common in my experience) and commonly the seagate 
problem. Is a problem with the spindle bearing.  Replacing the bearing is
the only -fix-, although, I have had good luck putting 3 - 5 drops of good
sewing machine oil on the bottom dust cover to the bearing, with the drive
laying face down, letting the oil -soak- in, and spining up the spindle a
bit to help -work- the oil in.  After this fails, (or when this fails again
because it will, eventually, probably sooner than later), I have then had
good luck peeling off the bottom dust cover, remounting the drive
upside down (VERY UNRECOMMENDED -but- hey it's junk at this point anyway)
and if you stand the system unit on end, the drive won't be upsode down anyway
(either way, be sure to backup the drive, and I recommend a LLF fur sure)
Then in a flip top system, it's a trivial task to use a tool like a screw
driver on the exposed  end of the spindle bearing to -break- the stiction
lose, without doing any more than popping open the top....

I've hooked up a VT220 to my COM2 port, with the hope of sending some
debugging information to it, and maybe even a remote terminal under
Windows.  The problem is, if I even do something simple such as

dir >COM2

I get a write fault error on COM2.  The same thing happens from C.  This
is before and after loading Windows, and with or without SHARE loaded.
I've used MODE to set it to 9600, 8N1.  It works from a terminal program
or the DIAGS program, so there must be something simple I'm overlooking.

If you know what that something is, please email me!

Thanks.... Dave

Hello there,

I have some questions about the Chameleon network software by NetManage Inc.
If you have experiences with any of the Chameleon software, I'd like to
hear your opinions on the following:

- Chameleon TCP/IP application package (for Windows 3.x).
How do you like the applications it provides such as Telnet, FTP,
SMTP/Mail, etc?  For example, can you open multiple telnet sessions? when
you open an application like telnet, do you simply click on the icon?
Any features that you like/dislike in particular?

- Chameleon32 for Windows NT is the developer's release. Has anyone used it
already?  Is it good (adequate and efficient) for developing software that
makes use of TCP/IP?

- Is Chameleon TCP/IP software reliable? If you're using one, are you
satisfied with their tech support? (competence, efficiency of the technical
personnel)

- Anything I should know besides these?
The price tag on Chameleon is a little high. I'd like to hear from its users
before I decide to purchase the software.

I appreciate your help and am looking forward to hear your opinions!

Well, I looked at the literature and considered it for my model 80-071 and
decided to go with AOX. BTW Kingston just anounced a similar board but
somewhat cheaper.

The reason I'm getting the AOX is the recent price reduction. The 486-33DX
is now $1095 (education price) Last time I checked it was $2700! AND the
fact that it has on board memory of up to 16MB. THe Sigma is $925 and is
stuck with the memory on the bus. Even though this may be 80ns I've been
told this acts like 300ns becuase of the bus.

AOX is a busmaster board. The original 386 is utilized for I/O. The AOX
memory can be accessed by other busmasters and the original 386. Its
compatible with OS/2.

I think the performance on the  AOX will be much higher than the SIGMA or
Kingston for that matter. 

AOX wants $285 for 8MB SIMMS.

Does anyone know of the XGA-2 for ISA?  I'm curious to see how the ISA version
works in comparison to the MCA.  Also how much does the ISA XGA-2 run, and
where can one get the XGA-2 for ISA?

I'm currently running a Trident 8900B. :(

Well, what you want is to get a copy of the datasheet for the Intel
82077 chip.  This is a single chip 100% PS/2 compatible floppy controller.
The data sheet tells you all about what the registers are and how to
use them.  You can find the data sheet in the "Peripherals" data book
from Intel.  The date on mine is 1990, so presumably anything later
should have it; I don't know about earlier.

You should also be able to get some sort of Programmers reference thing
from IBM which details the ports on not only the floppy, but also all
of the other "public" ports in the PC and PS/2's.

Hope this helps....

Yep.  IBM in Europe will be selling the Radius card directly.  On this

be directed to Radius.  At least they should be if our marketing guys

You'll have to talk to Radius about that. Still, it's a very nice and

Really?  I didn't know they were running that late.  The 9517 is a very,
very nice monitor to have if you're going to work on a computer all day.
It sure beats my 8515!  Still, if you don't need ISO, I like a good 
multisync monitor with the board, since I really like the 800x600x64k
mode on a 15" monitor.

I developed an RS232 driver for use with the IBM PC/AT/386 family, and am

Has anybody else ever experienced this problem, or found communications

If it helps, the problem seems to occur when I initialize the port and reset

I know it's bad form to follow up on your own post, but what the heck.
I think that I have now sucessfully screwed up the PS/2 beyond
recognition.  I tried a low-level format and then booted the DOS 5.0
installation disk.  It started up fine, but as soon as it tried to run
FDISK the computer restarted, and I got the message "Operating system
missing" when it tried to boot from the floppy.

I'm doing this for a friend, and I'd like to get the system back (at
least) in the condition it was when she bought it.

Can anybody get me out of this jam?  The people at the computer store
helpfully told me "Sounds like floppy trouble, bring it in for
servicing" and I couldn't find a half decent book on the subject.

I believe what's stated is that additional memory isn't supported,
not that you can't add it.  IBM said that 16 megs was the max
for the model 80 (and various other PS/2's) but that didn't stop
people from adding memory on expansion cards.

16 pin video connector(15 used)
Appears to go to the VGA monitor.

Questions:
Connector labled J11 is a 44-pin beast.
Is this for something useful?  What is this for?

Power supply. What is the wattage rating?  I would like to power a small HD

Simms on MB. What are these? Mem or video?

?*9 simms.  Two of them.

Thanks. Want to maybe upgrade them if possible(given the ridiculous prices for
low-end simms these days, esp. used).

I want to be able to re-wire J7 and J11 to get better video(through a card)
and/or to run a HD.
A pinout is all I need right now.  Internal would be NICE, but I do have
an external case for the drive.

Yep, should be able to do this.  You'll need to run the reference disk and 
update it with the disk for the external drive adapter, also install the 
device driver on the 55.

I believe 16mhz.

The following are all microchannel boards
that i have tested and will work in model 80
ps/2 computers. Most of the boards (besides the 
memory boards) should work in all microchannel
machines, but no guarantees. 

ibm esdi controller, no cables -- $11.00 

ibm dual async adapter (features 2 nine pin serial ports 
driven by 16550afn chips)  ------ $120.00 )

ibm 8514 adapter (with 1 meg total) ----- $200.00 

ibm 2-6 memory expansion option
with 4 meg ------ $170.00  

preferred method of shipping/payment is
ups cod paid by buyer, or prepay and i'll pick up shipping.

Subject: PS2 Model 55SX-61 hard disk replacement
Date: 5 Nov 92 16:08:37 GMT
Organization: Edinburgh University

Is it possible to replace a 60 Mbyte hard disk with a larger disk in a 
model 55sx-61 ? If so what are the choices and the approximate costs 
involved in each.

At present we use disk compression software. 

If you have any ideas on this subject, please email me.
