Subject: changing speed on a Commodore XT class computer
Date: 12 Aug 92 12:22:17 GMT
Organization: Delft University of Technology

Hi,

I (my father actually) owns an old commodore PC 20-III XT class computer
Now you can chage it clock-speed with the help
of the hot-key combinations <CTRL><ALT>-D (or S or T)

Also there was (NOTE WAS) a program called speed.com (or speed.exe)
which did the same.

OK my problem is this:
Due to a diskcrash my speed.XXX has been deleted,
and of course, I didn''t have a backup of it.

Does anyone have this program stuck on his old Commodore
(or can mail me some C/asm source which does the trick

Thanks in advance

	Gerhard,

    Yes, I had a similar experience with an old IMS machine (from '85 or 
so) which had been serving as a Novell 2.0a server. A couple things in 
the Novell server died, and we decided to scrap the old OS since the lab 
is moving over to PC-NFS anyway.

    We took the old server and gave it a new 386sx motherboard, a bigger 
power supply, a 3 1/2" floppy, and a different MFM hard disk (the old hard
disk was one of the things that died). When we tried bringing the system 
up as a DOS 5.0 PC we had all kinds of trouble getting FDISK to recognize 
the MFM drive. At that point we backed off and tried DOS 3.3 which worked 
with no problems. Then a couple days later we tried installing DOS 5.0 
again and this time it worked for a little while, but eventually the disk
started giving "write protect" errors.

    Since this is an old PC I suspect that there are some 
incompatible components which are causing the problem, and since the only 
components in the box which are still original equipment are the hard disk 
controller and the 5 1/4" floppy those are my prime suspects. I didn't have 
a spare MFM controller so I couldn't test the hypothesis, but I can't 
imagine how an old floppy drive (itself in perfect working order) would 
cause the hard disk to fry. I did try a couple of different MFM drives 
and they all did the same thing, so I doubt if it was a problem inherent 
to the hard disk.

U could minimize the risk by doing smartdrv/c after you exit Windows.
This will flush the write cache buffer. If you need to reboot your PC coz
your application is hung etc, use CTL+ALT+DEL. doing it once will (in most
cases) terminate the current application. doing it twice, will flush the 
write cache and then reboot the PC. 

If you *have* to powr off the PC whilst you're in windows, u may be shit out 
of luck :-(:-(

Subject: Memory management under DRDOS 6.0
Organization: NEC America, Engineering & Support
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 1992 17:28:41 GMT

While killing time in a bookstore this weekend I saw a book
put out by PC Magazine that was dealing with advanced memory
management for MSDOS 5.0.  (Sorry, but I can't remember the
exact title.)  The utility that I was really interested by
was a driver that claimed to allow EMS on a plain ole 286
(which is of great interest to me because that is what I am
stuck with for the near future).

My question for you DRDOS gurus is this:  How compatible would
this stuff be with DRDOS 6.0?  It looked like it had a lot of
really neat stuff, but are DRDOS and MSDOS similar enough that
the stuff would work under DRDOS too?

Since this is a relatively specific request, email responses 
would probably be best.

Thank you in advance.

If your use something like QEMM with it as well, the savings go a bit
higher.  I can get 610464 bytes of memory free, and that's with
soundcard drivers, mouse driver, ANSI...  I'm impressed.

Yeah, "keyb" is a real pain.  it seems to totally take over the keyboard
interrupt:-(  On machines which can change turbo speed with <ALT><CTRL><+>
loading keyb stops this working.
I had an XT and this was the only way of changing speed - there was no command
on disk to do so.  So I cheated, wrote my own keyboard remapper that only
affected the few keys that needed altering, and for every other key
passed control back to the old interrupt.  So speed control etc all worked.

So....if you think your machine doesn't work because the speed can not be
changed from the keyboard, it might be because you have keyb loaded!

NOTE: This was true on dos 3.2, 3.3 - never tried with dos5, I prefer my
(smaller) interrupt!

The graphics are about as good as EGA will give you. As for the panel

airplane?  The average small airplane instrument panel looks pretty
primitive, even with the high-tech instruments and avionics)

Yes -- we can start reading a posting about SmartDrive which turns into
a flame about Microsoft, MS-Dos, MS Flight Sim, Windows, and Bill Gates.
Why don't you just buy something else and leave the rest of us alone?

Strange...I don't see a smiley, but this *has* to be a joke...doesn't it?

Anyway, in vi :q means QUIT.  If you have modifed your file then it moans
at you, and doesn't let you quit.  If you do :q! then it means QUIT and ABORT
any changes.

The command you want is :wq or :x or <ESC>ZZ.
These all SAVE AND EXIT

I'm impressed, Michael. Your powers of perception are a bit better than mine.
You were able to read Liu's mind, and see that he was making a deep comment.
Foolish me thought that he sounded frustrated because he had unintentionally 
hit "quit without saving" when he wanted "save then quit". I was unable to 
decipher the philosophical yet sarcastic content of "... a major problem
with vi."

Seriously, the "No program..." comment is very good, but you made it, not he.
Many of us have quit without saving while trying to learn the idiosyncracies
of a new editor.  I simply pointed Liu in the right direction, in case he
wasn't "kidding".

Boot up a regular DOS (or comment out the .SYS's in the config.sys).  There
will be a hidden file (I forget the name) that represents the Stacker volume
(you can use an disk utility to see it)--change the file's attribute from
read only to r/w.

There is *no* way to make MS-DOS "allow longer file names". 
Not even with Windows! The structure of DOS itself is uses
the 8.3 format. You *cannot* have filenames that don't fit.

Now if you want to add *comments* to file names, that's 
a completely different story. There are lots of utilities
that will let you tag files with arbitrary text strings.
But that does *nothing* to the file's *name*.

Ylu might look at 4dos. Among a number of useful features
it lets you add a 40 character description to any file, and
the description is displayed when you do a DIR. (Or when you
use 4dos's SELECT command to chose from a group of files)

(suppressing urge to say RTFM ...)
You are either new to vi or left your terminal unattended. (I've heard
about those crazy Caltech practical jokers).
From The Waite Group's "UNIX Primer Plus" (a very handy book):
   - the vi Reference Card sez:
            "<Esc>:q!     Emphatic form of quit. No changes written."
            "<Esc>:wq     Write and quit."
            "<Esc>ZZ      Write and quit."

Strangely enough, most programs do provide the option to quit without
saving. I've even had occasion to use this a few times!  ;-)

I have a friend who is trying to run an electron lens ray tracing 
programe.  The program supports the following drivers for the screen
IBMEGA.SYS
IBMVGA12.SYS
IBMAFH.SYS  -  this is some 8514/A driver

She has recently upgraded her system with a new monitor and paradise
based card.  The programme will only display graphical output when the
old IBMEGA.SYS driver is installed.  The monitor is capable of 1024 by 712
resolution (interlaced) or 800 by 600 noninterlaced.  The card itself only
goes to 800 by 600 in 16 colours.  But she uses this resolution for running 
windows.

I am not very familar with using device drivers.  Is there someway I could
either fool the programme into thinking that the windows device driver was
one of the ones above.  By renaming the file.  Or do you know where I might 
get the real drivers by anonymous ftp.

Many Thanks  Bruce C C Cowie
