 Ahh, this is the problem.  You keep dropping your disks in the toilet.

Im running a demand-paged virtual memory UNIX on my PC now and can upgrade

Any help here would definitely be appreciated. I have a 286 clone machine with
a Western Digital 40Meg drive. Often lately, when booting up, I get an error
upon initialization of the hard drive controller. The disk does not spin up.
I can get it going by taking off the cover and "fiddling" with the drive and
controller card. Is this an easily fixable problem? Is it the drive or the
card? I suspect the drive. Someone suggested I re-install DOS, which I will try
tonight... any other suggestions? BTW, the drive sounds like R2D2 when it's
being accessed, which may or may not be related to my troubles...

Any help would be *greatly* appreciated... thanks to whoever can help...

I don't know if this helps you guys with your PCs, but there
are at least two memory vendors that are currently supplying
16 and/or 32 MB 72-pin SIMMs for NeXTs.  The 16 MB SIMMs are
made with the "old" 4 Mb chips; the 32 MB SIMMs are made with
the new 16 Mb parts, and boy do the prices reflect it!

BTW, stay tuned for NeXTstep 486, the port of NeXT's OS/WindowServer

I don't see how that extension cord device will be of any use either.

I have heard of people using demagnetizers (the sort of thing used to bulk
erase tapes and disks) to degauss a monitor.  I personally don't know how 
well that works.  You could take the monitor to a TV repair shop and they
should be able to degauss it for a few dollars (if they want more than a few
dollars to do it, then they probably are trying to rip you off).
Many monitors have built-in degaussing coils activated briefly right after the
monitor is turned on -- but they are usually not nearly as effective as using
a separate "external" degaussing device.

I have a 386SX-16 with 2 RLL HD( one RLLed miniscribe 3650;65M formated, and
st238R) and I wonder if I can install the second RLL controller so that
third RLL HD can run with. 

The 386SX has ami bios and the internal SETUP menu allows only upto
2 HD . What I can think is that if RLL controller has on-board BIOS, and
2nd address jumper, then presumably 2 of RLL controllers can coexist.
But I am not sure, Just presume.

If somebody have an experience to run 2 HD controller on one machine,
would you share your tip with me?

Anyway this news group is so great and admirable.

Hi Chris,

I've been using a Logitech Wireless Mouseman for about 6 months now and I really love it.  There are only two 
downsides - the battery is fairly expensive (mine lasted about 4 months although the documentation said a year - 
probably overextended shelf life) and it's easy to lose if you have a desktop like mine!

I mounted (using double sided tape) the reciever unit inside my case and this has worked out just fine.

Hope this helps,

So there are *not* any ATI drivers later than 44(?) that have passed GW2000's

Funny, as I recall it, most of the computer industry was using the
term PC to refer to any microprocessor based computer designed for
a single user (like Apple IIs or 8080 based CP/M systems) years
before IBM used the term in conjunction with it's home computer.
It seems to me that prior to the introduction of the IBM PC it

Have you considered DEC's DECPC LP series?  They compare quite
favorably to Compaq's PROLINEA series in terms of price and
performance.  DEC is also an international company and gives
the standard 1-year on-site warranty.  In addition, the DEC 
LP series has 128 Kb cache standard, and can be upgraded to
256 Kb if desired.  The system is available with SX25, DX33,
DX2/50, and DX2/66 Intel CPUs.

This isn't a brazen plug for my employer.  Considering your
concern for international service, DEC isn't a bad choice,
and their LP series has gotten some fairly good reviews.

I've been corresponding with a couple of people about the Orchid
Fahrenheit VLB card (an S3 local bus card) and would like to broaden
this to others on the net.

I have one in a CONTAQ/UMC motherboard 66MHz DX2, UltraStor 34F LB
SCSI.  My system has the following problems:

In Windows in some modes (notably 1024x768x256) if a window is made
more than about half the screen height when it is dragged the outline
box leave vertical lines on the screen. Also happens with the cut
box in Windows Paint.

In Windows with some color schemes (e.g. Pastel) the background is 
partially filled with a pattern of dots, this can also happen in
applications with large color filled areas.

In Windows occasionally the mouse cursor picks up a small box (about
64x64 square) of the screen which follows it around for a while then
disappears.

Some non-windows programs cannot use the VESA extended VGA modes.
They work with DesignCAD 3D, DeluxePaint II Enhanced fails totally.

One person I got mail from has an AIR EISA motherboard with the same
problems I have.

Another has an AIR presumably ISA motherboard, no other local bus
cards, and no windows problems however he gets moving static on GIF
images and cannot get vpic or cshow to work.

Anyone else using this card - please post your experience good or bad.
Please state what motherboard, processor speed, other cards on the local
bus.

I bought a Comtrade ISA DX2/66 VL-bus machine about two weeks ago; I am
satisfied with it.  Performance is good, machine feels very comfortable,
etc.  The bus is the VESA standard local bus.  I have their 'Turbo' card,
which is a Cirrus Logic GD5422 model.  It's true that their 'Viper' card
is not the Diamond Viper... but it is also true that they have been using
the name longer than Diamond.  I do recommend you ask what particular 
chipset the card you're interested in is using; for example, my machine
arrived with the Cirrus Logic chipset, while I had been expecting the
Tseng ET-4000... not enough difference to scream about, but unexpected.

The only problem I have had with the machine to date is with the 3.5"
floppy drive, which, although TEAC, is giving lots of errors... the tech
immediately offered to send me a new one when I called; I'll let the net
know if something untoward should occur.
