I setup my Windows 3.1 (Adaptec 1542) with the ASPI driver, and I still use

I bet it is still faster than most, if not all, IDE and MFM systems out there.

If economy is the most important thing, the 1542B can be bought for
$ 160 without any software drivers.  Of course you can use an ST-01
if you can find drivers for it.  If all you want is tape backup,
a floppy-interface tape drive, or QIC tape drive with controller
card might be cheaper.

A few sources you may try:

1) IBM - very expensive, but guranteed to work

2) Jameco Electronics - they carry everything else, why not this.

3) Read the back pages of PC week, if you can get a copy (I can't get

4) Attend a local computer flea-market.  You'd be surprised what you

5) If worse comes to worst, compare the cost of IBM memor with an ATI
   8514/Ultra (pre-populated with 1MB)

I used the PC Magazine Benchmarks 6.0 to evaluate the two utilities -
Stacker 2.0 and SuperStor 2.0.  I had my disk cache disabled, and upped the
DOS BUFFERS to 10.  Disk was IDE, on a 20 MHz 386 system.  Used the software
drivers only, no special hardware.  Each driver was loaded into the UMB -
Stacker took 47K, while SuperStor took 58K.  Here are the results in KB/sec:

                512x512         64x4096         16x16384        8x32768
                -------         -------         --------        -------

Stacker            228            488             856             737   Kb/sec

SuperStor          190            352             584             671

Well, it looks like the winner, performance and memory wise, is clear.
To me it's worth the extra $15 for the better performance of Stacker.

The above is a question I asked on the windows.ms bb several weeks ago.  
I received half a dozen responses and thanks for you all.  

Most of the responses pointed out it's just not worthy to put any effort
on the card since it's not supported on any software (though AutoCAD
R.10 does) and since a VGA card is so cheap.  One pointed out this card
was made by Vermont Microsystems and I called up that company.  The tech
support said They do not have the driver.  Neither does IBM and
Microsoft.  The card came with a set of VDI drivers so there is still a
chance to heck around.

Several people mentioned that the IBM5175 Professional Graphics Display
can still be used with a 640x480 VGA card with a custom-built adaptor. 
Can some one provide more detail on this matter?

I don't know too much about EGA, but I have done VGA programming.
I experienced the problems you are having, and I believe I have the
solution.  The VGA (and maybe EGA??) map attributes out of sequence.
For brown is mapped to 0x14 in VGA (in CGA it was 6).  Also, the
high-intensity colors are mapped 0x38 to 0x3F (not 8 to 0xF).
I got this info from _DOS Power Tools_, 1st edition (a book by PC Mag)
on page 724 (in the EGA chapter).

So instead of using the following sequence for color mapping:
     0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0xA, 0xB, 0xC, 0xD, 0xE, 0xF

you need to use:
     0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 0x14, 7, 0x38, 0x39,0x3A,0x3B,0x3C,0x3D,0x3E,0x3F

Hope this helps

Could someone reitierate the FPU exeption problem.  I bought a Gateway 386/33
in Dec 90 and have had no problems with it other than two or three times getting
divide by zero errors that I didn't believe.  Is this the FPU problem?  If so
can I still get a replacement a year and a half later?

Also, while I haven't dealt with them lately, when I ordered my machine it came
in about two weeks, on Dec 30th no less, so my order was even processed during
the Christmas holiday.  They may be much busier now, so that may be a problem
now that wasn't there when I bought from them.

It depends on the motherboard.  I have a 386 motherboard that will
take x8 or x9 simms.  For the x8 simms parity checking has to be disabled.

So if that motherboard has that option it is possible.
The question is if you want parity checking or not?

THIS IS NOT TRUE!  OS/2 2.0 can BOOT on a SCSI device connected to an
Adaptec 1542B.  I do it every day...

The quote causing all this confusion, is mis-quoted.  The quote is only
valid for a specific SCSI drive from IBM, NOT for other SCSI drives, and
it is NOT a generic problem in the Adaptec support.

That is correct.  The System Requirements on the box states:
IBM PC/AT or 100% 286 and higher compatibles (286 and higher
recommended)
^?^?^?^?^?^

Well, maybe that's still a little ambiguous...The first paragraph of the
Installation Notes states:
The Sound Blaster Pro can be used on IBM AT 286s, 386s, 486s, PS/2
(model 25/30), Tandy AT and compatibles.

It definitely has a 16 bit connector.  Then again most VGA boards that
have 16 bit connectors work in 8 bit slots.

I have a weird problem with a Conner CP-342 (40 MB) disk. I
wanted to use this disk in a Visa 286.  I can access the drive,
partion it, format it. I can write to the drive. DIR gives a
directory listing. However when I try to read I get a drive not
ready message.  It also does not boot.

I also tried "hdtest" ( a disk formatter, testprogram).  It
completes all tests incl. read/write/verify.  However it hangs
on the performance test.

I tried the disk in an Olivetti PCS286. It worked fine there so 
I assume the failure has to do with de IDE hostadapter.

Any hints on what can be wrong there?

From what I have heard the CDC Wren is bulletproof, BUT this is a refurb.

Are there any things to be on the alert for with a refurb?

Please reply via e-mail to either this account or ice@skynet.uucp ASAP.

Thanks very much for your assistance.

Hi,

    Originally, my Everex 386-33 had 16Megs worth of Dram and 256K-Cache 
ram.  The system was running fine util yesturday when I boot it up- Memory
check only showed 4Megs (3962K).:-{.  I quickly open the box and started
to swap those SIMM within the 2 banks, reboot, and gets the same message.
So the next logical steps that I thought was to play around with the BIOS
settings.--And still no luck :^{.  Does anyone out there have any clue
as to where those 8Megs went ??.     

thanks,

P.S.  Those 2x9 ram were tested this morning and they're still good.

peter.

Is there such an animal as a X windows server on a AT bus adapter card which
will drive an SVGA monitor directly? ie a drop in replacement for a SVGA card
that will turn the PC into a X terminal.

Please e-mail me. I will post responses.

thanks.
