Subject:      Ventek video?

I am looking for a Windows 3.1 video driver for a VENTEK AT2000 card.
This is a paradise (pvga1a) based card that drives a 20 inch greyscale
monitor at 1280x1024. The only Windows driver I have for it is a beta
version for Windows 3.0, which does not work with 3.1 (it hangs).

Does anybody know if such a driver exists, or even if Ventek Corp.
still exist ?.  I have looked through the video drivers on cica, but there
is no obvious candidate (unless Ventek have changed their name?).

Any help much appreciated (ie ftp site, fax or tel numbers).

Actually, Foghorn was the internal name for this product.  Now that it is
shipping the name is the "Microsoft Windows Sound System".  The card itself
will playback and sample CD quality sound (16bit samples, stereo, 44.1kHz)
it has mini-stereo connectors for microphone in, line in, headphone/speaker out
and RCA connectors for line out.  It will play back MIDI tracks through the
onboard synth chips but it has no external MIDI connector (it is designed for
business audio, not music.)  It comes with extensive software:

Volume Control:  Mixing and volume control
Recording Control:  Input device and level selection
Sound Finder:  Browsing and annotation .wav and .rmi files
Sound Control Panel:  Adds many new sound events and sound schemes
Quick Recorder:  The best of SoundRec and WaveEdit in a slick new interface
ProofReader:  Reads back Excel or 1-2-3/Win spreadsheets as you enter them
Voice Pilot:  Voice recognition for commands in applications, the active
              vocabulary changes as you change application and with the mode
              the application is currently in.
SoundScapes:  Audio screen savers for 3.1
Music Box:  Audio CD playback with storage and recognition of CD and track names

(Nope, I'm not a marketing type.  I'm just real pleased with my new 
sound board.)

As far as using the card for more extensive voice recognition (which was the 
original question) the technology for the Voice Pilot software mentioned above
comes from a company called Dragon Systems and they include a reply card in
the box if you want more information about their other software which includes
large dictionary speaker independant recognition.  (I don't have the card with
me or I would include the address.)

I get the same thing with NAV that came with my NDW 2.0.  McAffy scan and
CPAV both say its clean.  I'm stumped.  So, I've taken it off my computer
for the time being.  Symantec (Norton) has always been very high on my
list of people (software) to trust.  Has anyone checked comp.sys.virus?

Hello.

I am having problems with Windows 3.1 on an IBM PS/2 Model 95 XP 486 with
4MB RAM and DOS 5.0.  Occasionally, when loading Windows, the Windows logo
will appear and then return to the DOS prompt with the following message:

WARNING:
The Intel 80386 processor in this computer does not reliably execute 32-bit
multiply operations.  Windows usually works correctly on computers with this
problem but may occasionally fail.  You may want to replace your 80386
processor.

Press any key to continue.....


After pressing the Return key, Windows will continue to load.

I have tried re-installing Windows but the problem still exists.  Does anyone
have any suggestions as to why I am getting this message?

Thanks.

Les,
I have been using QRAM on a 286. You can only use QRAM if you have some means
of remapping the '384K' area into other RAM.
For example : if you have a mem expansion card that is (must) LIM 4 compat
then you can provide UMB's on a 286. I tried it & it gave me 128K free
UMB's. I had to exclude B000-BFFF however to make windows run.
But before spending yr money try to download the shareware UMB_DR522 by
Chris Blum. It also has a possibility of generating UMB's on some of the
286 machines. It's a 'go-no go' solution but it's worth the try !
Good luck !

Graphics Workshop (excellent shareware) will read, crop, scale, and convert
all of the above. It should be available easy enough as GWS.ZIP but if you
can't get it - mail me direct and I'll uuencode it to you.

or rather, WINDOWS restarted, the mose won't even blink!

This mouse would move under dos env, but it won't move under windows, why?

Any hint?

Subject:      Help with PS/2 SCSI disk boot problem

If you have a PS/2 model 80 or 95 with 1GByte SCSI disks, I could use some
help in figuring out why it will not boot properly.  The system does it's
memory check and then the floppy diskette light comes on and the machine
locks up tight.  The SCSI disks are SeaGate model ST41200N.  I can fool the
CPU into thinking the disks are not attached and then the machine will
boot and Netware 3.11 recognizes the disks and works fine.  I'm concerned
about why the CPU won't boot up with the disks attached.  Does the 80/95
models have to boot from the lowest SCSI ID disk?

If you have a similar setup, please email me and if we find a solution,
I will summarize to the list.

These are the ones I found info for.   I don't have opinions on any, I
just think they exist because I found them in IBM's catalog of
microchannel expansion adapters:

Adaptec - model AHA 1640, claims to be intelligent bus mastering (bus
mastering to me implies 32 bit - I could be wrong).

BusTek - model BT-640A, specifically states 32 bit, but does not
necessarily state that it does scsi-2.

Ciprico, Inc. - Rimfire 5700 SCSI , 32bit SCSI, bus mastering
Makes mention of SCSI-2, but doesn't come right out and say it supports
it, or not.

Installing a localtalk card in the server will solve the problem. All of

I don't believe Macs can talk to a printer hooked up to the server via

Subject:      Re: inter server routing problem

There was a bug in some version of Netware or it shells that has come to
be known as "Stealth Server."  If I remember right, it caused everty
16th server to disappear off the net.  Perhaps you're suffering from
such a problem?

When you see the symptoms, have you tried moving to a different server's
volume and trying again?  I'd make sure to try all the different
dated-servers (IE a 2.15c, a 3.11 of each server.exe date, etc.)

I really don't remember if this was a server problem (I believe it was.)
I basically ignored the issue when it first came up because I ran all
2.xx servers then and it was a 3.xx problem.
