Subject: Configuring a high end PC with multiple monitors !  HELP !!
Date: 21 Jan 93 15:23:42 GMT
Distribution: na
Organization: Prime Computervision, Bedford MA


This will sound like we are regressing back to the mainframe paradigm :-(
However budgetary constraints are forcing us to consider the possibility of
configuring a PC network with a high end 486 with say 500 MB of disk, and
four or five SVGA monitors hanging off of it.  The rationale is that these
are not the principal machines for the user, and will be used only for word
processing and spreadsheets, etc.  Furthermore, all the data will be resident
on a single machine.

Any comments on if this is feasible ?  Whether it is a good idea ?  If the
overhead of the networking software/hardware for the monitors is really
worth it ?  Any estimates of what I may expect to pay ?

Will be much obliged for any help that the net can render.

My most recent issue of PC Magazine reports a reader's survey 
that ranks Gateway ABOVE average in all categories. This tells me 2 things.

Either:

1. the readers of PC mag have more technical common sense obviating the
   need to call the bonehead 'support' people, or

2. PC Mag way, way, way, way, behind the times. Pretty sad for a journal published
   twice a month.

I would never buy from Gateway again.  I bought a 386/25 from them and after
seeing all the specs, I thought that it was a good machine.  Well, within my
1 year warranty, I had all 3 drives replaced, 2 monitors, 1 video card, and 1
drive controller.  At least it was under warranty, so I only shelled out
about $50 to ship all those parts back.  Never again will I buy or recommend a
machine from Gateway.

And where's that quarterly newsletter to tell me how my "friend in the
business" is doing?  Hmmm...it's been 1.5 years and I've gotten 2...

How many buffers and files do you have set in your config.sys?  If you don't
have enough of either, Windows will be foreced to do a lot of disk accessing
(at least, that has been my experience).  I set 30 files and 15 buffers,
though your mileage may vary, if this is indeed the problem.

I am in need of a software package that will run under DOS or Windows that will enable me to easily create flow charts.  The types of charts I would be creating would be used to demonstrate the relationships between various menus in a program, or to show the relationships between various bits of data in a program.  It will be necessary for whatever package I am using to export data in a format could be imported into a WordPerfect 5.1 document.

I have heard that ABC Flowcharter for Windows is quite good (also quite expensive @ $479) but have never seen the program up and running.  Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Now that I have my LaserJet 4, I want to put it on my network

Does anybody know of a ISA bus plug-in Bitronics parallel port?

    Put "rem" in front of the line that loads smartdrv.sys, reboot, and

Just put REM on line device=himem.sys in your config.sys.
eg

REM device=himem.sys

If you have pre 5 DOS then you will get a warning about it but just
do not care about it. After done with stacker remove REM and give it boot.

You could also put REM on line device=smartdrv.sys in your config.sys or
smartdrv.exe in autoexec.bat. Depending what version you are using.

Most straightforward would be REMarking himem.sys.

Hi, I recently bought a Leading Edge 486SX25 that uses a Trident SVGA Card with 1 
MB of memory. I'm running windows at 800*600 with 256 Colors.  With most 
applications, I have no porblems, but with some that require lots of scrolling,
windows is painfully slow...

I don't have the money to buy a new graphics card just yet, but I'm considering
the WinSpeed program by Panacea that has more efficient drivers for many graphics
cards. I have two questions:

	1- Will WinSpeed work with my Trident card and
	2- Will it make any significant difference (ie 2x faster or more)

Thanks for your help,

So I guess you think that if you took the SIMMs from from your printer
and put them in your PC then they work. Wrong, they are just as
incompatible as an Amiga 500 memory expansion pack (and believe me, I 
detest the Amiga). And then there's the crapola Mac which uses EIGHT
chip SIMMS. And then there's IBM which makes their computers use a
special type of SIMM, not the widely available PC-clone type.
IBM is just the worst company I have ever beheld. Oh well. They lose.

You weren't specific about what it is you are asking for, but here goes...

When you set a pixel to a value, you are actually placing a index to a
lookup table into video memory.  The lookup table points to a three byte
area that changes the appearance of the pixel.  The ET4000 is pretty
much standard in this respect.

By setting register 0x3C8 to the index you wish to change, you
then send three consecutive bytes to 0x3C9.  The first byte controls
the red, the second green, and the third blue.

Just remember, every pixel that is set to that index will change when
you set its palette entry.

DON'T MESS WITH THE LOOKUP TABLE.

The lookup table can be modified to look at the same palette entry as
another table entry.  It can be a real spaghetti bowl problem.

The CMS Jumbo 250 is your best bet.  Not the worlds most reliable tape backup,
but it's the best of the bunch in it's price group.  If you want super-safe
backups, you'll have to spend $1000 upwards.  i just make several backups with
the CMS 250 and can usaually get back what I wrote.

I like Gateway a lot, but I agree they have a service problem.  Here's how
I solved it for me:

First, I spent the obligatory 20-30 minutes waiting on the phone.  When I
finally got a technician, I was super nice to him (politeness
counts--remember, they talk all day to irritated and rude customers, when
someone is nice and appreciative of them, they remember it and will try
harder!).  He solved my problem and I got his name and FAX number,
and I told him I really appreciated his efforts in helping me.

When I had another question/problem a couple of days later; I faxed him a
quick message (addressed to him), saying "you did a great job helping me
out a couple of days ago, can you help my again please?" and detailed my
problem.

The result: FIVE(!) minutes later I got a call from him and he fixed my
problem.  This is great--I got them to call me back and all it took was a
little politeness, patience, a couple of cents for the FAX transmission
time, a good technician.

Try it, it may work for you too!

I have a set of monitors that work with VGA cards for the IBM-PC and clones.
If I buy XGA cards, do I need to upgrade the monitors to something else?

Please send your replies via e-mail.  I will post a summary.

Yeah. Great. PCs use SIMMs, which continue to get better and larger. My SUNs
use SIMMs. X-Stations use SIMMs. PostScript Printers use SIMMs. Probably
most other Workstation-Level Computers use SIMMs. And your Remedy for the
Incompatibility Problems which MAY arise is that we stick to some Manu-
facturer-fixed Memory Standard, where Improvements will occur when this
Manufacturer thinks that "his World" is ready to support it.

Note that I don't say "PCs are good" or "Amigas are bad", but for THIS Aspect,
PCs are much closer to State-of-the-Art Technology than your Amiga.

Just my .02 - If you don't like it, get my .45.
