     I believe the "m" word being sought is "moire" as in "moire patterns"
which are wavy patterns across the face of your monitor.  This is a common
problem with larger monitors, especially with a light background color.  I
have found that by using black as the background most of the moire patters go 
away.  Just my $0.02.

The video driver package includes an utility which can be used to fixe the
centering problem of the monitor. For example, speedstar supplies VMODE.COM
(or .exe?) which I used to fix a similar problem like you stated of my
IDEK Iiyama (17") monitor. This centering and adjusting utility can be
activated from the 'custom' option of the 'monitor' menu. It also allows
one to choose from a list of compatible monitors (e.g., NEC or Nanao etc.).
If your video driver disk includes such an utility (I think it does), give it
a shot and let us know what happens (including other solutions you
come up with). Thanks, Anis.

Subject: adding a 3.5-inch drive
Date: 27 Jul 92 16:56:03 GMT
Organization: Computing Services, Warwick University, UK

My mother has a Taiwanese IBM PC look-alike with a 286 processor.
It has an ST412/ST506 disc controller (not sure which).
This controller is capable of supporting two hard discs and
two floppy disc drives.  (This might help to identify it.)
At present two hard discs and one floppy disc are plugged into it.

She would like to add a 3.5-inch floppy disc drive.  There is no room
inside the case so it will have to be an external drive.  I understand
that the plugs and cables on floppy disc drives are standard, but
we're a bit nervous about proceeding:-

Is the disc controller capable of supporting a 3.5-inch drive?

The computer's BIOS is 
286 BIOS V2.09 Award Software, Inc.
Can this BIOS recognise a 3.5-inch drive?  If not, what would you
suggest as a replacement?  (She doesn't want to change from version 3
to version 5 of MS-DOS as the computer has only 640Kbytes of RAM.)

The Setup program that came with the computer doesn't know about 3.5-inch
drives, so we might have to put the parameters for a 3.5-inch disc
in the CMOS RAM using DEBUG (nasty).  What would we store and where 
would we store it?

I know I'm showing my ignorance above, but that's partly why I'm asking.
I'll send the news group a summary of the replies I receive by
electronic mail.

The more recent Mac models (IIcx and newer) use the same physical chip
layout as the PC's (and the Sun SPARCstation 2's, BTW).  However, most
all PC motherboards require the extra parity chip.  This is not a problem
for us, since the Mac's will quietly ignore the nineth chip, so we just
buy "PC-type" SIMMs for all our systems.

In my experience, ST-02s work with some non Seagate drives. Not all.

Mine does not work with my 40 MB Quantum drive. This drive works fine
with my Adaptech 1522 if I simply swap controllers, but is not
recognised by the ST-02. I am using the ST-02 with another, non
Segate, drive. It works fine, if a little slowly.

I've also read other reports on the net about ST-01 and ST-02 not
working with certain drives. Seagate says they only work with Seagate
drives, but net experience says you pays your money ( very little
money ) and you takes your chances. ST-01 and ST-02 controllers
work with some, but not all, non Segate drives.

Hello.

Yesterday I installed a "RTA-451 2 serial/parallel" card on my PC. I already
got one parallel and two serial ports on the machine, so I configurated the
serial ports to COM3: and COM4: and the parallel port to LPT2:

Before I installed the card I ran the Microsoft Diagnostic Version 2.00
program to check the status on the COM1:, COM2: and LPT1: port. Based on the
output from the program I configurated the RTA-451 card as follow:

    ACE1 configurated as COM3: at address 3E8 with IRQ4.
    ACE2 cinfigurated as COM4: at address 2E8 with IRQ3.
    LPT configurated as LPT2: at address 278 with IRQ5.

After the installation I ran the diagnostic program to check the status again.
The LPT2: port was recognized by the program, but COM3: and COM4: was still
N/A.

Have I done anything wrong since the diag. program won't accept the extra COM
ports? Everything on the machine seems to work just fine. The mouse work
(connected to COM1:) and the external modem on COM2: work just fine.

COM1: and COM3: will both have IRQ4 and COM2: and COM4: will both have
IRQ3, while LPT1: have IRQ7. Will this work?

If I get COM3: and COM4: to work from DOS, will they be recognized by Windows
3.1? Anything I have to do to make them work from Windows?

Please e-mail me, I do not subscribe to this group. Thanx

I don't think you'll have a problem, but get a warantee, anyhow.
(It's good practice with RAM - I once got a batch that was faulty from
static and needed them to replace it).

This looks like hardware not software. The modem is the one not making

It is my understanding that you could mix the speed simms modules, but you
wouldn't gain anything.  In other words, your machine would still run at only
80 ns.  As far as OS/2, I can't say....no experience.

BZZZZZT!!!   Wrong answer, thank you for playing our game.
80486 chips use a 1x clock wher 80286 and 80386 chips used the 2x
clock you are referring to.  This was one of the 80486 chip's biggest
advances.  You are correct, however, that the DX2 chips will also use
a 1x clock.

Great advice.  Make some poor schnook look like a real jerk in front
of his dealer:

"Hey what's going on.  That system you sold me only has a 50MHz
crystal and I saw on the net that it should have a 100MHz one.  You're

I don't work for Zeos, so here are the prices quoted to me by a Zeos

2MB	$449

4MB and 8MB cards will be available "very soon".

I also have a working Fax/Modem, a practical perif. 14400FX.
Perhaps the software that came with the Zoltrix above was
faulty?? I believe there are 2 types of fax modems, class 1 and
class 2, and if you run class 1 software with a class 2 mode (or
vice versa) it would be like trying to run a standard communications
program on a non Hayes comp. modem...

I also vote 'yes'. This group may be divided into:

1.	Drives (HD, FD, etc.)

2.	Memory (RAM, Cache, etc.)

3.	Processor (386, 486, P5, etc. including bus type)

4.	Interface (HD controller, Video controller, etc.)

5.	Sound	(audio related matters)

Any more?...
