Just a quick note to point out that my roommate, having ordered a 486/33
upgrade (motherboard swap) in early November, still has not received his
computer, some 30 days (give or take 5) after he sent it to ZEOS in Minn-
esota.  On numerous occasions, he has been promised by one Terri (ext. 1850)
that the computer will be "shipped in all probability by Federal Express
today or tomorrow."  The latest count puts statements of this kind at about
four in the past week.

Of course, Terri is not responsible for a lot of this...but neither will she, 
or anyone else, put who *is* responsible on the line to answer my roommate's
questions.

All this when the original forecasted turnaround was set at 10 days.  Given
some understandable technical problems, this was extended to something like
14, but 30?  Come on, guys.  Surely a company that values its reputation among
its customers can do a little better than perpetually passing the buck.

Subject: Zeos' choice of hard drives is good!
Date: 17 Dec 92 15:28:48 GMT
Organization: College of Engineering, Univ. of Wisconsin--Madison

I asked Hard Drives Intl for their fastest IDE drive (thinking I would
let Zeos keep the Seagate 3283A 245MB drive that came with my system 
and upgrade immediately).  HDI sent me a $1000 FJ2624A 510MB 
Fujitsu IDE drive.  It turned out to be slower than the Seagate on
all the benchmarks and programs I tested even though it had about
an 8 ms seek time to the Seagate's 11 ms.  The following explains
how this was determined and why the Seagate was faster on both
the benchmarks and on real programs.

I started by testing the drives using PCTools, Norton Utilities, 
Checkit, and Core.  They all showed that the 245MB was *much* faster on 
transfers but slower on average seeks.  Thinking that the larger buffer on 
the Seagate was just making the Seagate *look* faster, to these benchmarks, 
I ran some *real* programs and timed the results.  The tests were made 
under DR-DOS 6 and under OS/2 2.0 HPFS.  I tested things like OS2 2.0, 
Windows 3.1,and WIN-OS2 start up times, Xtree manipulations of large (10MB) 
sections of my file structure, and several editors and word processors
working with large files.  My disks were all clean (not badly fragmented).

Results:

The Seagate was 10-20% faster than the Fujitsu on all my program test.  The 
reason is that the Fujitsu drive was about 18% faster on seek times but the 
Seagate was about 50% faster in transferring the data.  I returned the 
Fujitsu to HDI.

There were two things I learned.  First, transfer speed is significant in
choosing a drive.  The Fujitsu's 8 ms average seek time (measured) didn't 
make it faster.  The Fujitsu should have had the additional advantage in that
the software on the larger disk takes less of a percentage of the platters
and the seeks should have been a smaller percentage of the total stroke.

Second, HDI doesn't always know what they are talking about.  They
were inaccurate in telling me the stats of both drives.  My tests
showed that the Seagate Drive on my Zeos 486-66 VLB machine ran faster 
in transferring data than HDI said it *could* by 50%.   This was true even
on the Core benchmark that they suggested I use.  Unless you have a
really fragmented disk I think the Seagate is the better bet.

The bad news is that the Seagate drive is in such demand that HDI can't
get them.  I'll just have to live with the one 245MB that came with my
Zeos system for now.

Distribution: biz.zeos.general,local
Organization: University of Arizona

I am tired of calling the tech support and waiting forever to get a response.
I'll post my questions here and hopefully somebody can help.
 
I have a ZEOS 486 EISA machine with a 3.5 " and 5.25" drives. The default boot
floppy drive is the 5.25" drive. Noe I have a software in 3.5" diskettes and it
requires a bootable 3.5" for installation (the software is OS 2.0 32-bit graph
engine and WIN-OS@ version 3.1). Is there any way I can reassign the 3.5" drive
as the bootable floppy drive?
 
A related question is the availability of an OS 2.0 driver for the Mylex SCSI
harddisk controller. I have 2 meg bytes of caching memory on the controller.
Because of the lack of an OS 2.0 driver for the controller, the caching memeory
is just wasted.
 
I appreciate any comments and answers to my questions.
 
Happy computing.

get a registration form from custinfo@zeos.com and register, but in spite
of repeated requests no such luck.  Any requests to support@zeos.com have 
fallen into a black hole.  This really should be an efficient method for
