Hello folks,

I got a question from a friend, if you can answer it please email me at the
address mentioned below.


    I recently bought a Speedstar 24X SVGA card, mainly because of my
interest in raytracing and viewing the resulting 24-bit pictures in all
those splendid colors.  Unfortunately, I couldn't get the card to behave
properly under Windows 3.1.  Every time I swiched from a DOS application to
the Windows desktop my system crashed (Memory parity errors).  This only
happened using the Speedstar video drivers, not with the standard VGA
drivers.  Another problem was that the number of system crashes had also
seemed to go up.
    When I went back to the computer store they told me that the Speedstar
24X had problems on 486 machines. Since they didn't have any other 24-bit
SVGA cards, I got my money back and have gone back to using my old Trident
card.
    Question: Does anyone know about this Speedstar 24X problem on (a
number of) 486 machines. If so, what causes these problems and are there


any solutions found. If not, what is another good choice for 24-bit
displays and Windows 3.1 acceleration.


Thanks in advance,
Richard Vermaas

No one can send you detailed instructions on how to do this because
they would have to know what kind of "v.32bis faxmodem" you have.
These things are accomplished through the use of little jumpers on the
boards.  Might I suggest talking to the dealer you got it from or
looking the the manual?

When I first started working 6 years ago, I've been using "ZIF" socket
for 32-bit micro-processor chipset on testing boards days and nights.
I will guess the only difference between now and then for "ZIF" socket
is really number of pins and layout it used (well, don't expect different
chips to have same pin layout and pin counts!)

In my opinion, "ZIF" socket is something that belongs to labs that get brought
to users without modification, and it happens to be a nice one in PC world.

If anyone try to find cutting-edge technology, PC is not the place (probably
except graphic and multi-media)...well, even "local bus" is just something
that have been used in minis and main-frames for years already. PC however
does make these once cutting-edge technology more available to us :-)

My 2 cents.

Your problem may not be the tape drive at all, but
rather your parallel port.  Under DOS, some really POOR designed
cards will still print, but.....  that does not mean they are
right.  Since DOS does not use the interrupt some board designers
pull out the interrupt logic, etc..  When running the tape drive,
thus two-way communications, you really need a well-designed card.
Try another type of parallel card and you might see different
results.  We have run into this problem a lot with UNIX/Xenix,
since they do use the IRQ logic.

I have endcountered a most unusual problem involving my Soundblaster Pro and

the 128k cache installed on my 386dx-40 motherboard.  If the cache is enabled,

the DAC channels on the SBPro will not function.  Any attempts to output

sound effects results in a system reboot or lockup.  When the cache is

disabled, everything works fine.  I don't know what to do.  I called Creative

Labs and they said that there was something in the AMI Bios advanced CMOS

setup relating to the bus speed that I needed to adjust, but there isn't any-

thing of the sort.  There is another BIOS option called ADVANCED CHIPSET

SETUP with some settings for the the cache and I've experimented witht them

without any luck.  I am extremely frustrated at not being able to use the

cache and would greatly appreciate any advice anyone might have.

I've owned the Epson Action Laser II for about five (5) months and have
nothing but praise for it!  The print quality is great (both text and
graphics), the speed quite nice, and the price EXCELLENT.  I have NEVER
had any kind of HP-compatibility problems, either.  Printing envelopes,
too, is a breeze.

As for your price requirements, I believe ADDING the PostScript option
(it's NOT native to the Action Laser II - or, at least, WASN'T when
I got mine), would push the price OVER $1000 and probably even at
mail-order discounts, though I'm not sure.

Strange. I have to explain to users how to copy files on Macs. They

My question: Who can recognize simply from the pin assignment shown below which
             type of hard disk it could be (it can't be an IDE-Interface
             [= AT-Bus], because this should have 16 DATA lines)?

I wonder if I can replace the banks 1 and 2

Hello...

I am thinking of purchasing a voice mail card and would like to know a little more about them before I buy one.  Does anybody here have any experience with them?  Good or Bad?  What kind of hardware works best with them?  Does anybody know where I can get an article on them?

Thank you,

Shane

My computer case forces me to stack my two ST225's on top of each
other. Unfortunately, after a few hours, the one on the bottom
overheats and starts giving me write faults. I need to let it cool
before it becomes operational again. If anyone has had this problem,
I would like to know how you went about fixing it.

Also, is this kind of thing going to kill the drive soon? I know
the ST225's are tanks and they should pretty much last forever...
