 Was kind of wondering about that.

 Well, this is great news.  My day had been kind of crummy until I read
this.  Now I can go back to my supervisor and tell him that the IBM
PS/VP 486DX/33 is *exactly* the machine we need/want.

 We use Atlas GIS, which only supports the Tseng ET4000 in 1024x768
graphics resolution.  I was afraid I'd be stuck in 800x600, or 640x480
until Atlas comes out with a Windows version.

 I've seen OS/2 run.  It works fine on a lower speed 386 with enough memory.
But with only 4 Megs of RAM, and a mediocre harddrive, you'd better figure
on buying a coffee pot, because you'll be brewing a lot of pots waiting
for your application to come up. :-)

From: white_w@ab.wvnet.edu

Organization: Alderson-Broaddus College

Hello out there in netland,

I have just purchased a new 386 33mhz motherboard to replace my 10mhz
8088.  The board fits in the case fine, and the power supply hookup
connects, but doesn't look right to me.  The bord gets power, but I
don't think it is getting enough.  When I turn it on my EGA monitor
goes from snow to black, indicating that something is trying to happen
but nothing else does anything.  Drives come on and spin a second but
don't do the normal (spin, grind, grind) checkup sequence.  Do I need
a bigger power supply (I have a 150 watt xt style one now) or is the 
problem somewhere else?

>2) What is the fastest bus speed the card will work at.

My experience in a 486DX-50 system with UMC chip set:
At 10MHz bus, 0 wait state on SS24x the card seems to work but often
hangs in Windows (a total machine lock-up). With 0WS disabled, the
SpeedStar works fine but the slowdown is noticeable in Windows.

At higher bus speeds (I tried 12.5 and 16.7 MHz) the SS24x again
seemed to work fine under DOS but in Windows everything moving tended
to produce garbage on the screen and eventually the system crashed.
For comparison, my Adaptec 1522 SCSI adapter worked fine even at 16.7
but disk transfer rate didn't improve (according to Coretest). At
25 MHz it gave up, too...

The UMC chipset has options for bus clock rate as well as I/O recovery
time (which was set to 4 cycles). I don't know if the latter parameter
has any relevance with SS24. Setting it to 2 or 8 didn't seem to
change the SpeedStar's behaviour.

Anyone know if the limitations are due to the throughput of the WD
chip or is the problem in the bus interface? I have gotten some slow
I/O cards to work at faster bus speeds by replacing slow bus interface
chips. My SS has those usual LS-series buffers, but the warranty
hasn't closed yet...

Hi Young Huh

I've got an ATI graphics ultra installed - this graphics accelerator
is really fast, especially when scrolling!
It dropped in the price now, too - because they released two new

Computer stores around here are saturated with components packaged under the

is being pulled back, and printed in the corner (as if it were being

Everything from tape to modems is represented.

What's the connection between Reveal and the original brands?  Are they

I am considering buying a new video card to replace the sorry Oak video
card that I currently have.  The card that I am looking at is the Diamond
SpeedStar 24X.  Currently I have an interlaced monitor which works quite
nicely with my Oak card in 1024X768 mode (the monitor is a multi-sync
monitor made by Impression).  My question is:  Is there any possibility of
a conflict between the old monitor and the SpeedStar 24X?  I would assume
that any SVGA with the standard connector would drive any SVGA monitor
with the same connector.  The monitor and Oak card are only 1.5 years old
by the way.

Thanks for any and all help.

I downloaded the new drivers (bld46.zip, I think) from ftp.cica.indiana.edu,
installed them on my 4DX2-66V, and had no problems with lock-up.  I 
tried them out for a while but went back to the Crystal Font driver because
I love the Crystal Fonts.  Anyways, point is that while I didn't exactly
give them an acid test, the new drivers definitely did not cause my
VL-Bus machine to lock up, so the answer to your question seems to be
that they are *not* just for ISA Ultra Pro's....

Brief tutorial on degaussing for the uninitiated.....

I won't say that ALL monitors do this but most good ones probably do:

When you turn the unit on a coil around the outside of the front of the
picture tube is turned on. It basically creates a large magnetic field
around the faceplate of the tube. Over the period of a minute or two
this field gradually collapses and has the effect of de-magnetizing or
"degaussing" the picture tube. 

The purpose of this feature is to deal with minor variations in magnetic
fields that would disturb the purity of the video.  The problem is that
this field is rather weak and it would take lots of cycles for it to
erase the effects of a magnet placed directly on the screen. 

A degaussing coil used by a technician is portable and can be moved
around the face of the tube to put a stronger field where it'll do the
most good, the magnetized area of the screen. 

The original poster (Bryan Utas) asked how do treat the problem. If you
know a friendly Tech somewhere who will do you a favor it'll take all of
2-3 minutes. If you don't know anyone like this then a service shop
might take pity and do it for a couple of bucks. This kind of job gives
the shop a good name and it helps if you praise them mightily and let
them know you'll spread their name far and wide as THE place to go for
service :) 

I built my own degaussing coil many years ago out of a coil of
transformer wire (enameled) a push-button switch (N/O), a thermister and
a few other assorted parts. It's come in handy on occasion.

I like questions on the network, especially since my mail isn't quite set
up yet.

For any one operation, with the exception of mode set, the XGA-2 will be
faster.  That said, there are times when the setup time for the emulation
can be worse.  The only benchmark I'm aware of for XGA-2 in VGA mode is
the 3DBENCH benchmark (a VGA graphics mode benchmark), for which the
numbers are:

XGA-2:          10.1            (Higher is better)
PS/2 VGA:        5.9

These numbers are, of course, unofficial and just the results of running
on one particular machine.  I don't do testing for a living, just chip
design :-)  These numbers were from a very slow, ancient machine on my
desk -- your results would no doubt be better.

I am told, however, that for certain text opertions that XGA-2 is not
very much better (and possibly worse) than VGA.  I can't say for certain
what operations, though, since my sources didn't say.  Still, my overall
impression is that XGA-2 is faster than VGA even in VGA mode.

Does anybody have the specs for an ST225-R hard disk. I recently bought this
one used, and when I format it it gives me only 32Meg of space, but I am sure
that it is a bigger drive. Specifically, the Western Digital controller I
have, requires the following info (if I want to dynamically set up the drive):

# cylinders
# heads
start reduce write cylinder
write precomp cylinder
max correctable error burst
CCB option byte, step rate

I am using IBM DOS 3.3. I also checked, and the disk does not have on it the
specs. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx

Could someone please detail the differences between the ATI Pro,
Ultra, Pro + (?)  cards.  Are they worth all the money?  What
about if one wants more than 256 colors at high resolution--what
is recommended?  What about video input?  Are there are any high
resolutional truecolor cards with S-video input with chroma
keying?  Am I asking for the world?  Thanks for any info.
