Subject: C64 connected to PC via RS232 (how?)
Date: 28 Jul 92 21:15:26 GMT
Organization: RMIT Computer Centre, Melbourne Australia.

Greetings,

	I have a a favour to ask of you comp.sys.cbm users.  Could you 
	(plural) please help with this dilema:
	I want to connect my c64 to my pc via the rs232 ports and a null
	modem.  Question: what pins to connect, what software to use on
	pc and what to write on 64, and to whatever else you (plural) 
	could offer.

	PC: 386DX25 with 9pin rs232 port on COM2
	64: normal everyday garden variety 64 (with tapedeck)
	    (my diskdrive commited suicide last summer after
	    refusing to learn to navigate my bedroom ceiling etc.)

	Reason: want to use commodore colour printer with text files
	'cause I don't wanna fork out AUS$300 for a IBM printer.

	All help will be welcome. Post to news or my account.

Anyone have any nifty hardware hacks for the 128? Ive got a 128D laying
about that doesnt do much anymore, and am not afraid to damage it
with some hacks. Trouble is, Im at a loss as to what to do...

Maybe a CPU accelerator, or just about anything? 

Please reply via email, as I dont read this newsgroup. Anything of
interest will be summerized, if people want it...

There is a programm which would be the solution for your problem. 
Geos was never planned to be bootable from a 1581 (due to it's heavy copy-
protection). Anyway, Jim Colette (if I'm not mistaken) wrote two PRGs
called "1581boot64" and "1581boot128" and they make a 1581 bootdisk.
Unfortunately there are some problems: If you have a C64 "1581boot64"
will ONLY work with a REU (Geos can't switch between drives without one)
AND as you may have read geos sometimes checks for the copyprotection at
the desktop which fails causing GEOS to kill track 40 sector 1. To cope
that problem there's "trojankiller" by Jim Colette, may work fine,
doesn't work at all on my german desktop 2.0

Look for these files or get in contact with me and we'll see what we
can do with ftp if anything fails.

C-64/128 MIDI Items WANTED !!!

I'm looking for the following MIDI hardware/software for the C-64. If
anyone has one that they don't need anymore, I'll buy it. Or if you
like, I could trade you for something you might find more useful. Here
is what I'm looking for:

PRO 16 AND TNS w/Steinberg Card 32

Pro 16 & TNS is a sequencer made by Steinberg Research. The Steinberg
Card 32 is a MIDI interface for the 64 for use with Pro 16 & TNS. This
is by far the most professional sequencer for the 64 ever. If you have
one, I want to hear from you!!! If you know where I could obtain one,
please let me know.

DIATONICA-7

This is a piece of software that is a real-time orchestrator/harmonizer
for the C-64. It is manufactured by Quiet Lion. If you have a copy of
this, please let me know.

AURICLE

This is a film/video scoring tool for the C-64 that won a grammy award
in 1984. This software is made by Auricle Control Systems and is quite
complex. When I called Auricle to buy a copy, they said they still sell
the C-64 version, but it costs $999!!! So therefore, I would like to
buy a copy of this software with the MIDI option for a lot less, used.
If you have one or know where I could get one, please let me know.

Digitech MIDI interface.

I'm looking for a DigiTech MIDI interface for the C-64. It has onboard
EPROMS and a pitch to MIDI converter! It also comes with its own
software. If anyone has one, I'd really like to know.

If anyone is liquidating any Commodore MIDI equipment, please reply to
me in this conference or send me some e-mail to my usenet address:

        ted.kalamvrezas@canrem.com

I'm also intrested in rare MIDI interfaces such as one made by Yamaha.
If you have a surplus store in your area that is selling some of this
stuff, please let me know. Another place which would have some of this
stuff just collecting dust is a music store. If you find any, please
let me know and I'm sure we could work out something that is mutually
beneficial.

Also, for those that wish to, you can call me directly at (416)
940-9645. I'm located in Toronto, Canada.

P.S. I'd also love to hear from any C-64 MIDI users/musicians out there.

Sincerely,

Ted Kalamvrezas

.SDA's are .ARC files with a special bootfile at the front of it (SDA = Self
DeArcing last I heard, but that's trivial...).  The ARCAID package at milton
contains a version of the SDA.ML bootfile.  The steps involved are:

1) make a duplicate copy of the SDA.ML file with a .ARC extension
(C0:name.ARC=0:SDA.ML).

2) create SEQ text file containing whatever you want the opening message to be
 (this option may not be available on earlier versions of SDA.ML, but is on the
 one mention above (the one I use))  This file may contain any CBMSCII
 characters, like CLR/HOME, colors, CRSR, etc. which are used to create
 special effects -- the title screen of SDA is generated by an -xp of the first
 file in the archive)

3) ARC/A name.arc textfilename otherfiles... as often as needed

4) R0:name.SDA=0:name.ARC

That's all!

I tried GIFFY, and an older (Completely  BASIC) GIF viewer, but they
lacked a lot.  (So now I view GIFs on a DOS machine and a VGA monitor
but anyhow.) 

What does the program 'VGIF64' do that's better?  Anything that's worth
the annoyance of mailing for it (ftpmail), uudecoding it on a DOS
machine, uploading it to a system then downloading it again?

Is there a DOC file that I could get at and read without getting the
while thing (Wasn't it an SDA?)

I had/have this same problem with my C-128.  I have the 16K video subsystem
and I was never able to resolve the problem.  I have since moved up to Amiga's
and had forgotten about this 'small' problem.  I would still like to get it
fixed...  I'll look through my tech notes to see if anything ever came out on
the problem but I don't think anything did.  If anyone out there happened to
stumble on a fix PLEASE tell the net.  Even though I mostly use my Amigas I
still use my 128 occasionally and would like to fix this.

Hee.  Yes, I know where it went.  It was more like 3 or 4 months ago when I

your nova 9.3 should work, the problem is the settings are not correct.
you need to use the kermit transfer mode, and set the file type to prg if a binary or program, and to seq if a text file.
Also, you must set the parity to even on both the nova 9.s and themainframe.

This file is "MSDOS64".  It can be used to transfer files between c64 and
IBM formatted disks, but it has some limitations.  Its greatet limitation is
transfer file size; it will only trannsfer files of 32K (I'm not exactly
sure if this number, but this seems familiar).  Therefore, if an IBM file is
greater than 32K, it will only transfer the first 32K of the file.  I used
this file for transferring IBM programs from 360K 5 1/4" floppies to 800K
3 1/2" disks for use on an IBM-compatible portable.  Two other minor problems
were that it wouldn't copy the time/date stamp of the original IBM file, and
when CHKDSK.COM is run on the destination disk, file allocation errors are
found in the disk's File Allocation Table.

Despite these minor problems, it is a good program.

A spurious RESTORE signal will not likely perform a warm reset, because
the STOP key must be held down in order for a RESTORE interrupt to have
any noticeable effect.

More likely there are spurious errors on the bus, causing false BRK
instructions.

I'm trying to reconfigure the kernel on our NCR 3000 (version 2.00.01 of the
OS).  When idbuild calls idmkunix, it tries to compile the file
/etc/conf/pack.d/async/stubs.c, using /bin/idcc.  The build fails, giving the
error 

ERROR: '/etc/conf/pack.d/async/stubs.c' will not compile properly

I've extracted the parameters that idmkunix passes to idcc to build stubs.o
and rerun idcc from the command line.  The compile worked properly.

Any ideas on what might be causing this would be greatly appreciated.

It seems that I'm not the only one with this problem.  The StarServer E
dumps core when I do a

And, on the same matter, where in the world is the documentation for
NIS for AT&T SVR4?  The "Network User's and Administrator's Guide" makes

If NIS just don't work, is there an alternative?  Like maybe a kludge using
RFS?

Chuck -

Regarding the unsuccessful login attempts:

One scenario which would cause hundreds of bad attempts
is not a hacker ...  If you set an incorrect ARID from
another system, every time you did an attach that had
to scan remote disks you would trigger the invalid counter!
You might want to check, as you might not have a security breach.
