You should have gotten a program cald telpass.com and a sample password file 
called pass.fil.  You run telpass pass.fil, and it lets you modify/creat 
users and passwords.

Actually , our friend from Intel can correct me if I'm wrong, but my 
understanding is that the device you are describing is the OverDrive chip.

The DX2 does not go in a "free slot", it is pin compatible with a regular 
old DX chip.  I have manuals from Intel which flat out state this.  Document

Hi.

A friend of mine ran in problems with an old XT. The XT has a buildin Seagate
ST251 harddisk (40 Meg), but the HD controller predicts only 10 Meg HD capacity.
There are a couple of switches on the controller board, whitch are to set the
HD capacity, I suppose. Does anybody know the correct settings? The controller
board is known as BXD06 from DTC.

Please use the email address below (fromme@rcs...), if you like to answer via

Thanx in advance.

The ZEOS 486 VESA Local BUS upgradable motherboard will support
the 486SX, 486DX-33, 486DX2-50, and the 486DX2-66. The motherboard
will support the P24T when it is released. It uses an Overdrive ZIF 
socket for the upgrability. This was released today. More will be
posted on this product to biz.zeos.announce this week.

The system comes with a utility disk (probably loaded on the hard drive
already) that includes a program called SWITCHER.COM.  Simply load this

Terry,
I visited them several years ago. They seemed to be a legit small company,
and seemed to know their business. But in these price cutting days they
may have gone under.
1. Contact NYC Better Business Bureau.
2. If you paid by credit card, write to the card co., and tell them
(don't ask) to stop payment: that you have not received services paid for.

3. You might try their non-800 number: 212/627-4485 (in the ad).

Good luck!

Yes, but in localbus designs you have the bandwidth available. And if
you have a simple framebuffer directly attached to the CPU it is
*very* fast.

>2) As a coprocessor allows to use protocols at a much higher level,
>like X or Phigs, communication overhead _shrinks_ tremendously.

Well, then you hit another effect. The CPUs are getting faster faster
than the graphics chips do. Like the 34020 is about 6 MIPS, while a
486 is much higher (think around 20 on a 486/50). That means that the
main CPU is just waiting for the Graphics board the do something ...
Another performance wall you hit is the communication between adaptor
and CPU. Normally they want to have all graphics requests in a special
format encoded, which means the 486 is quite busy to translate the
users requests. And not to forget you have to go over a bus, which
means you have to do busarbitrating (like queue polling).

My personal oppinion is that a graphics chips should have the best of
both worlds:

	a) Memory mapped, both framebuffer and graphics engine

	b) The GE should have a deep queue for commands

	c) The GE should be optimized to do only simple commands, but
	   these hardcoded in silicon to drive the RAMs at threir top speed.

	   The commands would be simply COPY_RECT, FILL_RECT,
	   DRAW_LINE.

	d) Let the rest do the main CPU, which has the horsepower for
	   clipping and rendering in lowend systems.

An approch like this will buy you much more than a highpriced special
Graphics board. Or why do you think are these RISCy GEs faster under X
than the 340x0 based boards ?

Here's my problem:

I have a Commodore-128 and a PC-clone both hooked up to a Star NX-1000 printer
via a 36-pin switch box.  

Since it is a cheap switch box, instead of switching all 36 pins, it "cheats",
leaving some pins unconnected, some looped back to others, and so forth.

My Centronics-type cables are the same way.

My Commodore serial-parallel interface requires 5vdc power on pin 19 of the
centronics interface.  The printer supports this, but since neither my
switchbox nor the cable connecting it to the printer had pin 19 connected, I
stole the wires from a pin it didn't need (don't remember exactly, but it was
somewhere around pin 30) and put them on pin 19.

Now, the MS-DOS machine doesn't print!

I need to know the pins that are required for MS-DOS to communicate with the
printer, so I can maybe steal ANOTHER wire that neither computer needs!

The memory generally sits on a separate bus that runs at the CPU clock
speed.  Otherwise, there would be no point in having a fast processor.

:No.  3C503 cards require unique drivers as they are quite different from

:SCO, as the 503 is a more popular and faster board.

And, to keep people from arguing over it again (ha), the disabled FP unit
was not tested, increasing yield and decreasing testing time, both factors
making the SX chips somewhat cheaper even from the start.

IBM people weren't very helpful either--though I do have an
IBM part # around somewhere.

I've taken a 5.25" drive out of a friends
Tandy 1000.  It is a Teac, # 14733730, if that means
anything.  I am trying to put it in my old XT clone.  It is getting 
power, but I can't read or write to it.  I get a seek error, or a drive not
ready error.  I've also noticed that the drive never spins.  Does 
anybody know what the problem might be.

I bought an 8 MB Performance Technology memory board at a swapfest a couple of
weeks ago. The seller hasn't come through on his promise to mail me the docs,
so I'm turning to the net: Anyone have info on configuring this board? It'll
do EMS, but I'm not interested in that; all I want is extended addressing
info. A pointer to the manufacturer would also help.

Please reply by email; I'll post a summary if there's interest.

I'm planning to buy a new monitor soon.

How much less "radiation" is there from a "low radiation" monitor?

Are there any other (visual) differences between a normal and low radiation
monitor? (Like: dimmer picture, not as crisp, etc...).

Is it worth the price difference?
