Relax. 5.25 is still in vogue.

I believe the 1542 leaves caching up to the operating system, like
any well-behaved politically correct controller should. Unix is
intelligent enough to manage its disk i/o. It's just DOS that REALLY
needs a separate cachine controller.

Maybe with an interface card, but doubtful.

Good luck.

First of all,  be sure that you can physically connect to the net
cabling.  Having an ethernet board does not mean you can dial in via
modem with a comm program and then magically connect to the system.
Also, be sure about the ethernet vs token ring.  They are different
and do not interconnect.  If you do go with ethernet, you must then
know what kind of cable is being used (thin net, thick...).  You need
to get a board that can connect to that particular kind of cable.
With token ring, the cable is all the same or compatible.  Find out
what speed token ring is being used 4 or 16.

Not a driver, but an updated BIOS is available.  Current rev is

You can do either.

I, for example, run WordPerfect for Windows from the desktop, in a window 
on the desktop.  If you need to start a program from Windows (an install 
program, for example) you can open a windows session using the icon in 
"command prompts"

BTW, the newsgroup "comp.os.os2.misc" is a far better place to talk about 
or ask about OS/2.  There are about 120 messages per day there, which are 
often responded to by IBM employees.

My Wangtek 5150S is working perfectly using an Adaptec 1522 SCSI card
and the ASPI2DOS.SYS software driver.  I downloaded GTAK100.ZIP which
becomes GTAR.EXE and TAPE.EXE, they both work great. It was a wonderful sound

The other difference between the Graphics Ultra and the 8514/Ultra is that
the 8514/Ultra is a flippable card.  One side has a 16-bit ISA edge 
connector, while the other side has a 32-bit microchannel connector.

Subject: Sources for 4-serial-port or non-standard-IRQ serial cards?
Date: 16 Apr 92 06:16:19 GMT
Distribution: na
Organization: UCLA CS Department, Los Angeles

I am trying to find a "super-jumbo-deluxe" multifunction card for my 386
system (ISA bus) with the following laundry list:

    ==> Four serial ports (COM1-COM4).

    ==> One parallel port (LPT1).

    ==> At least one of the serial ports =absolutely must= either
	use a high-speed, buffered UART (16550), or else use a
	socket for the UART so that I can replace the original
	UART with a 16550.  I am using a high-speed modem and
	insist on at least one serial line with a 16550.

The above is a minimum.  If I can find a single card with all of the
above =and= an IDE 2-hard/2-floppy interface, that would be even more
wonderful, because I could end up with one fewer card in my system than
I now have.

I do =not= need a game port or clock/calendar.

I have seen ads for boards with four serial ports (such as from JDR),
but they all had non-socketed 16450 UARTs, and none had a parallel port.

Why, you may ask, do I want the whole world on a single card? :-}

Well, I currently have a fairly vanilla multifunction card with two ser-
ial ports -- one of which uses a 16550 -- and one parallel port.

I want to add some more serial ports (trust me, I have my reasons).  But
I can't just put in a second dual-serial-port card because (so I'm told)
the standard (ISA) bus architecture doesn't support two cards on the
same IRQ line.

So, the logical choice seems to be a single card with four serial ports
and a parallel port, which could replace my current multifunction card.
If all four serial ports are on a single card, it doesn't matter (from
the bus's point of view) if some of them share a single IRQ.

I realize this kind of thing is not common and that I may have to pay an
inflated price for it.  Such is life.  Also, I'm assuming I can cope
with the software ramifications of having two devices (on the same card)
share a single IRQ; from what I understand, Windows 3.1 can handle this.

If my "dream card" just can't be had for love or money, an alternative
would be a card with two serial ports -- provided the ports can be con-
figured with the bus addresses of COM3 and COM4 but use the extra IRQs
(8-15) which exist on the 16-bit bus.  That way, I could set up the new
card to use a currently vacant IRQ or IRQs; this would permit me to add
the new card without conflicting with my existing multifunction card.
If such a card came bundled with an IDE interface, so much the better
(since I wouldn't have to use up any more bus slots) -- but this isn't
a requirement.

Anyway, if anyone knows of a manufacturer or vendor of a card that would
meet my needs, please send me some e-mail and let me know.

Hi,
 
Does anyone have any information, or have they heard about
a 9600bps-2400bps modem that runs to an X.21bis standard.
 
I found one recently at a local computer swap meet, and
Is manufactured locally in Australia by the ericcson company.
 
Having tried it on my Ibm PC it does not work with the usual
comms setup. Only online or offline status Is recognised. It has
a 25 pin plug but the pinouts seem different to the standard
RS232 pinouts.
 
Does anyone know if the wiring of the pinouts are the only problem
with this modem or would it be Hardware incompatible with a standard
PC? Is it or is there some way to make it V.32 compatible? 
 
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, either in readnews
or email reply.

I contact Maxtor (1-800-262-9867) a few weeks ago, and they said that the OEMs

and that the drives should be available to the general public around the

the $450-$475 range, but I'm not 100% sure.

Yes, but (1) there is a charge for that and (2) there is no guarantee
that it won't be cashed anyway (just ask your bank!).  In fact, my
bank warned me that stop-payment orders on cashier's checks are
frequently not honored, especially if the check is cashed in a
non-local bank.  At least with a credit card I stand a good chance
of getting my money back if there's a dispute (and an outstanding
chance if I don't get the merchandise).

It still sounds to me like the seller is the only one protected here.
