 The power supplies that came with the 1764s were also very nice.  I'm not sure
if they are rated the same as the 128 P.S.s, but they look the same and are all
ready to plug in.  There are several repairable P.S.s sold for the 64, but I'm
not familiar with which are good and which are not, so would not want to make a
recommendation.  Yep, the 128 power supply was well designed, as was the 128
itself, as was the 1581.  Too bad they quit making all that stuff.  Mark.....

Hello netters,


	I am hoping either someone has done this before or can point me in 
the right direction.  I am trying to upload several text files from by C64
to my Macintosh.  I have tried (rather unsuccessfully) to send the files to 
our mainframe (Sun computer) here at the university but the xmodem transfer
never handshakes correctly.  I have also tried kermit but it quits halfway 
through the transfer and tends to lose characters from the ascii files
being transfered.  Does anyone know of a PD/Shareware terminal program (first
off) and does anyone know of any special settings to be considered when 
trying to upload files from a C64 to either a Sun or a Mac.

				Thanks in advance for any and all help.

					Johnathon

Well, I can tell you that sometimes Supra's service is not the greatest in
the world.. however, recently a friend of mine had his supramodem 2400 blow
up on him.. he also has 2 other modems (non-supra) which have never
experienced any problems under the same conditions.. so, he sent back the
modem with a strong letter stating what happened and that nothing happened
with the other modems, etc.. they fixed it with no probs and no charge..
so, if you just get annoyed with them and compare them to something else,
you shouldn't have any problems..

Hello.

After my C64 and periphials have been on for a while, I sometimes will
here what sounds like static coming from my monitor speaker.  I've found
in the past that kicking (lightly) on the power supply would stop the
sounds temporarily.  Tapping on the monitor didn't help much, except to 
getting some frustration out.

It's a fairly new power supply.  It's actually a rebuilt 128 power
supply converted for the C64.  A local Commodore store did this because
of the high demand for C64 power supplies recently.

Oh, another thing:  I can still continue using the C64 with no problems, 
and if I turn down the volume on the monitor, I don't hear the static
anymore.

So, does anyone have the answer to this puzzle?

Thanks.

I have not played with these is quite a while, so I can't guarantee that
the register and MMU setups are exactly the same.  Keep in mind that some
lower level BASIC routines expect a specific RAM bank to be in context
already, and some will change the RAM bank.  Also, strings are stored in a
slightly different way (C128 has backpointers for better garbage collection),
but if you stick to using ROM routines for everything you'll have no problem.

What errors are you getting on the PC when you try to write to a 1571 formatted
disk?  Or are you saying that you can write files on the PC and not read
them back again on the 1571? If the latter is your problem,  then that's
understandable.  PC's have the same problem when switching between 360K
and 1.2 M drives. Technically HD floppy drives read fat tracks,  but
write skinny ones.  If a fat track has a skinny track written over part
of it, a DD drive can have problems reading it back.

>If I format with the PC (its a 1.2meg drive) to 360k, the 1571 won't read
>it, or gives error 24.

That's because of the above problem. Have you bulk erased the disk
before formatting it on the 1.2M drive?  Sometimes that helps.

>The solution is maybe to get a 'proper' 360k drive for the pc. 

It's the most reliable solution,  but try bulk erasing a disk first.

Organization: Computer Science Department, University of Cape Town
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 1992 17:04:29 GMT

I have just got all our Sparcstations to talk ntp (they are running xntpd),
and one of these Suns also runs a master timed that is ntp-aware. 
Our AIX PS/2s run timed, as does our SGI Indigo, so all these machines
are able to synchronise their time.

This only leaves our central machine, an NCR 3450, not able to keep
time. I have been looking all over for either an ntp or timed implementation 
that will compile under SVR4 with WIN-TCP. All the timed's I have found do 
not want to compile, either with the sys5 or bsd compiler. xntpd compiles
but does not run due to the absence of certain kernel variables.

Anyone managed  to get a 34XX to keep time? How? Alternatively, where
can I get any time daemon that will run under SVR4?

Change NUMTRW to some big number that equals the number of

Probably in the WIN-TCP manual.  Make sure you have one

NUMTIM and NUMTRW must match TCP_NDEV.

Concerning X sessions, you might want to check to be sure you have enough
pts devices configured for xterms (determined when you install nsu, check
/dev/pts*).

The way I understand it (or probably misunderstand it) is that, if you have a source license, you can use copyrited source for non-commercial, non-profit purposes!  In otherwords, you're free to use the source in your own library as long as:

	1) The library is used ONLY at your site and
        2) You don't sell/give the source or the executable to anyone else!

Of course this is only my (twisted) view which probably has no bearing in reality!  Hopefully a fellow Prime-ate will step in and give you a more definitive answer!
