And they weren't lying to you.  But, unfortunately there were some problems
with the manual that I was not aware of.  They are being corrected as I write
this, thus Prism will begin shipping within two weeks of this writing.

I pushed very hard for October 2 as the release date, but I was unable to
reach the maker of the manual in time.

I will post a message notifying you of the EXACT shipping date.


ps.  this really sucks.

I was wondering if anyone knows the poke locations and poke numbers for turning on
and off the 320-mode super hi-res screen for the Apple IIgs.

It's just that my parents (inadvertently) threw away all my issues of Nibble,
which contained just about my entire knowledge of Apple II...

Anyway, could you please E-mail me.  I don't feel like sorting through the

Never be embarrassed for asking a question.  Actually, in the new system
software there are two CDevs.  These are probably installed.  They are
in the folder */system/CDevs (where * is your boot up volume, ie: Your
hard drive).  Drag the CloseView and EasyAccess CDevs in to the trashcan.
NOTE: If you can't find them, check in */system/DAs, they might be in
there, I'm not sure if they are CDevs or DA's.  After you drag them to the
trash, empty the trashcan, and reboot the system.  Should work fine.  Lots
of people have complained about this problem before, and this seems to be
the favored solution to fixing it...

No, MDSS is not written by Morgan Davis. (originally it was, I think, but
not now) And as of a few weeks ago, it wasn't on Wuarchive. (the new one, 3.0)
If you are going to snag it, the easiest place is an actual Proline system.

BTW... has anyone had any luck working with MDSS 3.0 and Linux 0.97.6
and using bash 1.12 as my primary shell? We can't get it running here.

Another question... why isn't MDSS wrote in Perl, or atleast ANSI or POSIX
compliant?

Just curious...

People have been zoom-bashing, and I have to put in a balanced view:
I have a Zoom 2400/Sendfax, and it's always been very very good to me. It
connects cleanly, doesn't do stupid things, and is generally very nice (so
far, so good). I have no complaints whatsoever.

On the other hand, I also have a Datalink 2400 for my other IIgs. This
modem, in my opinion, has been junky from the word go (I got it used with
my GS). I started out with having to replace the box that connects the
modem to the outside of the gs ($20 to AE). Then, it still was flaky (I
think that the box doesn't work quite right). Now, I have problems
connecting at 2400...sometimes, the modem thinks that the ring is a modem
tone, and so it sends out it's reply way early...the modem finally
connects, and the datalink has gone through the other tones and ends up
connecting at 300 baud (this happens about 20% of the time...which is
really annoying when you call some systems 3 times daily!!!!!!!)...
basically, I would probably not recommend that you get one of these, even
if it is more convenient....my system is basically semi-portable (internal
HD, internal modem...), but I still would take an external vs. the datalink
currently in my system...

I found a similar bug, which is probably another version of the
problem you're encountering.

I have written a Finder-like COPY command for ORCA, in which I had two
GS/OS OpenRecGS structures.  I wanted to increment the 'resourceNumber'
field of both of these at the same time (they always had the same
value).  I used the expression:

   osrc.resourceNumber = odest.resourceNumber += 1;

ORCA/C should have done something like:

   PUSH (address of osrc.resourceNumber)
   PUSH (address of odest.resourceNumber)
   PUSH Top_of_stack
   POP address into temp_pointer
   LDA [temp_pointer]
   ADD #1
   POP address into temp_pointer
   STA [temp_pointer]
   POP address into temp_pointer
   STA [temp_pointer]

For some reason it missed the first PUSH, so it popped too much off
the stack and caused the program to crash.  It appears that the cause
was the mixture of assignment types.

I suspect the combination of pre-decrement with assignment as in your
code has the same problem.

I've reported this bug to Byte Works as well.


You should be able to fix it by changing the quoted line to:

    *wordary = some expression;
    --*wordary;

or:

    temp = some expression;
    *wordary = temp - 1;

Something to keep in mind is that the copy of ProDOS 8 which is shipped
with each version of GS/OS is tied to that version of GS/OS.  In other words,
you can't safely put ProDOS 8 v1.9 on your System 6.0 disk and expect it
to work correctly; you'll get a message to the effect that the wrong
version of ProDOS 8 is installed.

I don't know if this applies in your case, though.  If you're copying the
PRODOS or P8 file to your System 6 disk, don't do it! :)
