Hi,
I've got a TVGA 9000 with 512KB and a NEC 4FG monitor. I'd like to have the
800*600-256 mode non-interlaced and the 1024*768-16 mode with 70Hz refresh rate.
I haven't got the TVGACRTC program with which one should be able to do so and
Jumper 7 does not help in this case.
Who can give hints or knows an FTP server where I can get TVGACRTC.

Thanks Jens

Well, that's why prices have increased - people are buying chips now in
anticipation of increased prices later.

Well, no one can accuse America of being anti-Japan now. This action is
transferring huge amounts of money directly from the American consumer to
large Japanese manufactrurers. How kind of us...:-/

ZEOS offers a EECO Inc., Maxi-Switch keyboard which is PS2, AT or PC/XT
compatiable.  The sales flyers sez that you can upload and download
keyboard macros to/from disk as necessary.  The keyboard is a $69 upgrade
from the standard issue keyboard on new purchases from ZEOS.

I remember reading a while ago that the Gateway motherboards are made by Micronics. Is this the same Micronics motherboards you can by from various mail order companies? Or is it made specifically for Gateway?

If it's made for Gateway, does anyone know if they sell JUST a motherboard? How about other vendors (ZEOS, Dell, Northgate, ...) for that matter.

Please post your replies, and thanks for any info.

Organization: UTexas Mail-to-News Gateway
NNTP-Posting-Host: cs.utexas.edu

Hi!
I posted a message earlier about problems I encountered with the
new 4DX-33 under Windows 3.1. I tried the 800x600 resolutions today
again and they worked fine up to (and including) 256 colors. Also I
was able to run the 1280x1024x16 in the test.exe file (the first time I
forgot to change the switch to 4-bit mode :( ). However it runs interlaced. 
The 1572FS should be able to run that resolution non-interlaced. But I 
will first talk to the tech-support before I go and change it manually.

Anyway, I wanted to talk about errors (problems) I encountered in DOS
mode. The problem with the Brief editor was reported already by
some other people on the 66V. Well, just to let you know, it doesn't work on
the 33V either. BUT!!! I figured out a way how to run Brief and not to
get a error (every time but the first time). To make it possible you need
Borlands Turbo Debugger 286 (I haven't tried it out whith th 86 version, and
the 386 version makes my system make a cold reboot :(...havn't figured out
why). So here are the steps hoe I got my Brief running:
		1. Run TD286   (Mine is Version 2.51)
 		2. Run b.exe from within TD286
 		3. Change the file a little bit (space, bachspa{ce)
 		4. Save the file (ALT-W)
 		5. You get a error message from TD with Exit code 255
 		6. Don't worry
 		7. Reset b.exe
 		8. Run b.exe
 		9. No more Run time error R6003
 	       10. Exit TD286
               11. b.exe works even outside
 
It would be too good to be perfect. I havn't played around too much
but I found out that any DOS 'pipe' "|" instrucition gives a divide
overflow. I'm not shure what I've actualy done with this (at least not yet),
I hope that some DOS gurus out there might be able to figure out where this
Runtime error comes from (Looks like Disk I/O to me / although all other disk
I/O looked fine to me, or like a memory overlap).

I put a Kingston PCM-CIA card into my Toshiba T3300SL, in spite of Toshiba
comments that most RAM-related problems are caused by third-party upgrade
products not meeting spec. It works like a champ.

Then call me an idiot. And you had better never hire anyone here at 
Clarkson. Noone will know how to program the ATI or S3 or TI graphics
chips either. I certainly don't. I am more interested in what software
supports (or will support) the Pro, not in writing my own CAD program.
I will limit myself to displaying 24bit color bitmaps to the screen for
simple things I write (games, utilities) which don't need the hardware
of the MACH32 to do. And yes, Sparky, the ATI MACH32 will probably handle
all that bitmap stuff for me, but I don't have the time/money to get the
programmer's guide and fiddle. (Which is impossible to buy anyway).
Did I waste my money? Probably not. At least I can use the high color/high
resolution modes right now, while the rest of you are waiting for manuals
and drivers for the software you want to run with it/programs you want to
write. And at any rate, the board is faster in Windows with the generic
VGA driver than the VGAWonder ever was. I can wait for drivers.

(I didn't mean to offend anyone here, I just resent being called an idiot
because I don't know how to program every piece of hardware built for
the IBM class of machine. I have played with IBM machines since 1982, and
I have learned a great deal about them. I can also program fairly well
(biased opinion here) and do most anything I want, except write my
own mulitasking operating system and program graphics accellerator chips.
After all, I'm an EE, not CE or CS)

Note that Seagate has recently made available (on their BBS) a LL
format program for some of their older IDE drives.  Models covered are
those which (a) could benefit from LL formatting, and (b) do not
require specialized hardware to perform the LL format.

Newer models that use Zone Bit Recording (variable number of

Hi

I recently bought a joystick for a PC which had a games port built into the 
drive controller card. The problem I have is that if the joystick is used 
with Indy 500 straight after the machine is switched on it works, however if 
I run any other software first the joystick is no longer recognised by the 
game. Is there a problem wtih the card or the game??

The list server should be back on-line in a short time. I had hoped to have

Hi netters,

I need your advice for my following serial port configuration.

com1 : mouse
com2 : network
com3 : modem (IRQ 5).

I have two printer ports, but I never use 2nd printer port.  This 2nd 
parallel port can't be disabled because I have to disable the com2
 to disable LPT2.

I expected I can use IRQ5 because I don't use LPT2.
Problem is that I can't get through dialing routine in Procomm if 
mouse (COM1) driver is installed.  I tried to exchange mouse and 
network on com2 and com1 respectively.  Same problem.  After
installing network driver, modem didn't work.  Without installing
either drivers, it worked fine.

What I don't understand is I use IRQ5 ( I can select between IRQ2 
for com4 or IRQ5 for com3 , or regular IRQs).  There shouldn't be
any conflict, isn't there?

I'll appreciate your help.

Here we go again.

G2000 is unquestionably one of the best companies around.  I offer as
proof their phenomenal growth, this wouldn't have happened if most
customers were dissatisfied.  What we see are the net are a bunch of
cry-babies who complain about anything and everything they can.  Sure,
G2000 isn't perfect, but overall, they are obviously doing better than
their competition.  If only more satisfied G2000 customers would speak
up, the net.world would get a more balanced view.  But, when was the
last time that YOU said something good about anything?
