Subject: What version is the MCA SoundBlaster?
Organization: Univ. of Texas at Dallas
Date: Sat, 21 Nov 1992 07:24:54 GMT

Hello.

I know their are 3 versions of the 8-bit SoundBlaster card.
1 - has cms chips
1.5 - doesn't
2.0 - doesn't, but must have something else?  I dunno.

Anyways, my question is, I have seen MCA SB's for as low as $90, and I'm
wondering what version SB Creative Labs sells for its MCA version.

Please don't ask me which company sells the SB for $90, as I have no idea.
It would require extensive searching in a bunch of pc rags...I just 
remember seeing it.

Thanks.

This is an apology to everyone who replied in my previous posting on the
Seagate drive ST255R.

I do not know what was going on in my head (I'd like to blame it on graduate
school) but the drive is actually an ST250R...

I swear I read the label more than once, but I was still reading it as a 255.
Terribly sorry to everyone who possibly got upset with my stubborn responses,
and also thank you all who replied.

May I take the courage and ask for the ST250R drive specs? please???

Let me ask you guys who own the Diamond Speedstar 24X some questions.  How
do you like the card, is it fast enough?  I have ordered an ATI graphics
ultra plus since the beginning of last month (october), and again, the
release date is pushed back for another 3 weeks.  I am frustrated, and I
want to change my order.  All I want is something fast and has 24bit colors
on it, possibly on the 800x600 resolution.  Can someone out there give me a
suggestion?  Thanks.

The number is 1-800-934-2766 and for those who would like to know, I found
out this morning that the Adaptec 1522 drivers will be included in the next
release of the NT beta.  Adaptec couldn't give copies of this driver out,

i think elonex (now one of the UKs largest direct sales pc companies -

machine by using 486DX2/66 can upping the clock speed to 75MHz. though
as the machine is designed to do this all the motherboard logic etc

PS/1's if anything offer more support and service than PS/2's.  They are 
directed towards the home user and are designed to be very user friendly.
They generally have less room for expansion and do not have the newer 
and fastest processors in them. (ie. 486DX2's)  IBM offers direct 
support lines and and online help through Prodigy strictly for the PS/1 
line.  They are also very competetivly priced.  There is also a new line
called the ValuePoint Systems that are cheaper versions of the PS/2's 
and have an ISA bus versus MCA.

I'm putting together a new 386/40 system. However I don't have enough money
to purchase a decent VGA/monitor combo. So in the meantime I'd like to 
use either the monocrome or CGA compatable monitors I already have.

I understand that if a normal 8 bit video card is used that the bus speed
will need to be 8 Mhz. I wanted to know if anyone knew of a fast bus speed
(and even better a 16 bit) card that works for my monitors. I'm planning on
buying a fast IDE/serial/parallel card and would like to push the bus
speed to at least 12 Mhz.

any help given would be appriciated.

I have a question for you video card experts out there.  Why can my ati
graphics ultra pro display 1280x1024 (interlaced) in a test program and
still not use this mode displaying windows?  The Gateway tech I talked to
said the 1MB card with the cheaper RAMDAC could definitely NOT display
this mode (except in the test program) even with updated drivers.  What gives?
Of course 1280x1024 interlaced flickers like crazy, but it would be nice
to be able to use it on occasion.  

I also have a question for those using the newer beta ultra pro drivers
released just a while back (last week?).  I downloaded them by ftp and
installed them, and they made my machine lock up just after starting
windows.  Are these drivers only for non-local-bus systems, or did I do
something wrong?  If they are only for non-local-bus, can someone get
thier hands on the local-bus versions and upload them somewhere on the
net?  It would be rather expensive for me to call Gateway's BBS.

Subject: Question about PS/1 HD, memory, expandability
Date: 17 Nov 92 22:23:30 GMT
Organization: CAD-Research, University of Iowa, Iowa City

Hello,

	I have just gotten a PS/1 very cheaply and I wanted
to ask a few questions about expandability.  The model I have
is a 386sx with 2 mb of memory, a 40 meg HD, and a color VGA
monitor.  It comes in an extremely small case and has no
slots.  (I'm giving this information because I don't know the
exact model right now.)

   1. What kind of hard drive does this machine have?  (SCSI,
      IDE, etc.)  Any specific information would be
      appreciated.  I want to install one of the free UN*Xes
      on the hard drive, but (at least 386BSD and Coherent)
      can't identify that I even have a hard drive.  Also, if
      I wanted to expand to the next size up, (129 meg I
      think) where could this be acquired?  Do I need to get
      that directly from IBM?

   2. I would like to expand the memory from 2 to 4 or 6
      megs.  Are there SIMM slots on the motherboard that I
      am missing, or is there an adapter board?  If so,
      where would one get that?

   3. In the User's Manual, there is a picture of some sort
      of expansion chassis that gives 2 slots in which to
      expand (possibly a hard card).  Where could I get one
      of these?

	This machine seems to be somewhat old (maybe ~2
years) and no one around here seems to know anything about
it.  So, without signing up for Promenade or Prodigy, I was
hoping someone here on the net would know something about
it.  I suppose I could also call IBM directly.  I could not
find a number in the sparse manual set that came with the
computer.  Does anyone know a number at IBM that I could
call?
	Otherwise I am very satisfied with the computer.
For the price, it's a great DOS computer.  I just want to
use UN*X too.  Thanks for any help.

Hi, Netters,


I am thinking to add a second hard drive (capacity 200M-300M)
to my Gateway2000 386-based PC.  Here is the configuration of my Gateway2000 PC:

	SYSTEM BOARD: 	386-25Mhz AMI with 4M of RAM
	HARDDISK CONTROLLER: 	DTC RLL controller supporting
                                2 floppy drives and 2 hard drives.
	DISK DRIVE: 	Microscience RLL 65-Mbyte Drive
	I/O CARD: 	2 serial + 1 Parallel
	VIDEO DISPLAY ADAPTER: 	ATI VGAWONDER 	Card
	MONITOR: 	NEC 3D VGA
			A Serial-Interface Mouse

Since there's no RLL hard drives with high capacity, I consider to
purchase a new controller (or a host adapter) and 
a hard drive with difference interface such as IDE, EDSI
or SCSI. My question is I am not sure if the new second controller (or
the host adapter) can coexist with the existing RLL controller
on my PC.

If you have successfully installed a second controller and hard
drive to coexist with an RLL controller, could you send me information
about the brand/model of the controller and the hard drive that
you have.


Thanks in advance.

You can change your bus speed (usually) in your advanced CMOS BIOS setup.
You get into this setup mode by (usually) pressing the DEL key when booting up.
A configuration utility comes up and one of the entries will be the bus speed.
The bus speed is usually a displayed as a fraction of your CPU speed.

At 690K/sec *peak* I'm not sure you could even keep the tape
drive streaming.  Would you want to hook up a tape drive
given that it will have to reposition on each block transfer?
This might be why Trantor doesn't try to support a tape

	What is happening is that the page frame that emm386 is trying to
aquire is being used by another device driver or expansion card.  I haven't
been able to find out what the default page frame is but you can set the page
frame to a different memory location by including the parameter:
	frame=<address>
Valid values for <address> are in the ranges 8000h through 9000h and
C000h through E000h, in increments of 400h

	I would stick to the higher range or you will conflict with standard
memory below 640k.  I believe C800h is used by many harddrives so you may
wish to avoid that address also.

example
	device=emm386.exe frame=d000


Someone else asked if emm386 will work on a 486.  Yes, there should be no
problem at all.  I use it on my own 486 and have had no problems.
