Hello
	I have request for IBM PC Hardware Gurus.

	Right now I am working on my graduate thesis. For my thesis
work, I am designing a graphics board which connects two VGA cards
(8 bits outputs , speed 36.5 MHz) and selects one of VGA card output.
I have controller to select VGA  card output. 

	I am storing output in static RAM and providing it to another
VGA card.  I looking for reference reading material related with.

	I am looking reference material -related books, papers with
graphics board.

	Can you be kind enough to guide me?
	
	I will be very much thankful to you.
	
	Thank you very much and Have a nice day.

Ultima VII will not run at all under OS/2's DOS box because Origin so
stupidly wrote their own memory manager that is incompatible with any
other's. Heck under DOS I had to boot it off a floppy that didn't load
up QEMM. What a pain. 

A fair comparison would be Ultima Underworld, or Wolfenstein 3D which
both run great under OS/2.

I have been having little luck with the Rice binaries, and I have a
megapel.  This may be because I do not have the latests revs of the
OS and TCP/IP.  I also do not have this rgb file or directory.

>      Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/site/X11R5/lib/X11/rgb'

so even though I have the links right, I get the message.  I tried
moving the the rgb stuff from a Sun to there, and that got the server
working for me-- although some colors are not quite right.

Could someone please tell me how I can get the right rgb files for
the megapel?

Anyway, xinit still says "killed" but I can get the server running
and use the thing as an X terminal.  But there are still problems.
For example, xterms that try to ring the bell (control-g) die.

I wish I knew more about X windows (do I really?...).  All I want is
to make the RT into an X terminal, but it's hard to set up!

Cheers and please let the net know of your successes with this.

Organization: Landmark Graphics Corp., Houston, Tx

I just purchased an RT 125 and installed AIX 2.2.1 and
all the latest updates. It came with a Matrox graphics
board coupled with a 1280x1024 screen.

I'm interested in knowing what is available for the
little guy: I only have X11R3 and I'm seeing everyone
asking about X11R5 (... I'd be happy with X11R4).

Are there any user-groups for RT's?  I tried getting
GNU's gcc-2.2.2 to install, but the RT doesn't seem to
be one of the supported devices?? 

The equipment was cheap (surplus for employees), but 
now I'm wondering if maybe I goofed!?  Judging from
the problems with X11R5 and my experience with gcc,
I'm getting the feeling that AIX 2.2.1 is a doomed
environment, abandoned for eternity. 

I'd appreciate any info on the status of RT's in general
and on any sources of software that support it (I'm
an applications software person, not a systems guy).

Cheers,

I am now the proud (?) owner of a pc/rt which has all sorts of
documentation, monitors, keyboards, and other stuff which I have
not yet begun to unpack. Seems to be a pretty cool system.

The problem is that the previous owner set passwords on all the
login id's. I can't get past the login:. I booted the system
with the installation/maint diskette and followed the instructions
in the "Managing the Operating System" manual to mount all the hd*'s
to gain access to the "users" command to change the su password.
Unfortunately I get the "Shared library: sharsys.0202 cannot be mapped"
error message when I try to execute it.

What (short of rebuilding the system from diskettes) should I do?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

We have two RT's with 6155 displays that we would sorely like to

does not support our monitors. I am wondering if anyone has had
a similar situation and what they did to remedy it. IBM does not,
to my knowledge actively produce RT hardware anymore, so who do
you go to? What monitor systems are available and how much do
they cost? I have heard of the megapel system, what is it (ie.
what resolution at what pixel depth)? Does anyone out there have
a extra driver card/monitor (perhaps from a broken RT) that they
would be willing to sell? Thanks in advance for any information

I've messed with X11R4, X11R5, X11R2(IBM), and X11R3(IBM) and I've
found that the most reliable and easiest way to go is to update your
machine with the stuff from IBM and be content to live with their
X11R3.  It's not bad!  I use aixwm and various clients from any

I'm writing a DOS emulator.  It's very very close.   Just got 
TASM running last night on it.  PK*ZIP too.  

In running some msdos executables on this beast, I find that sometimes
I get slightly different results from the same codes run on PC's.
This is not a good thing, for the most part. :-).  The differences are
from TC's runtime floating emulation (and at the 5th digit or so).
Many other programs run exactly the same, including a small suite of
programs which are designed to test the opcodes which affect flags
(add, sub, or, rcl, etc).

I recall reading somewhere (net.rumor, maybe) that the TC floating
runtime (or in some libraries, or fractint, or somewhere) that someone
discovered how to speed up floating point speed by utilizing 
some opcode (I think it was either div or mul, but perhaps it was
something else) which consistently set the flags in some usable 
way (sign or zero, perhaps) but also that those particular flags were
offically "undefined" for this opcode.  I tend to believe a rumor
such as this based on past experience debugging this beast.  

I realize that the above paragraph is somewhat vague, but if anyone 
out there knows what I'm talking about or has any similar war stories
I'd love to hear them.  Keep in mind that what I'm trying to avoid
is single-stepping through 100K of instructions without really being
sure of what I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance...

I could use (a) docs on XMS drivers or (b) a way of getting extended memory

The easiest way is to turn off the mouse cursor before writing anything to 
the screen.  You either have to integrate your screen display routines with
your mouse routines, or do it the hard way and manually turn off the mouse
cursor every time you write to the screen.

This is a non-answer.  He is talking about adding the digital values
together (mixing) before playing.  This is not the same thing as
playing two different tracks at the same time.  A single channel of
any digital sound card can do the same thing.  Anyone can sum all of
the waveforms in pre-processing and run the sum through a single channel.
