   I just received an offer to buy it really, really cheap.
   I do need a personal information manager of some kind for home use,
to work with all the mail, texts, project and events.
I would like the package to run under windows, be quick, dial phone
numbers, etc.
   If you have any experience with Lotus Agenda (or any other PIM),
I would be happy to know your opinion.

If you are interested in buying Agenda, I would be probably able to
order more than one copy.

Howdy.  I'm sure that this has been hashed over a million times, but here
goes:

I'm going to be buying a 486DX33 or maybe 50.  I would like to be able to
have 3 partitions (386BSD, OS/2 and DOS/Windows) and be able to boot
off of any of the OSes.

Questions:

-What SVGA card should I get?  I'm leaning towards the Tseng ET4000 local
bus.
-Has anybody done 386BSD X11R5 patch level 13???  Will the Tseng ET4000 work?
-How stable is the latest 386BSD?
-GNU (C, emacs, Perl, bash, epoch, ...) available for 386 BSD???
-How is Linux?  PD?  Source available?  MIT (freely avail) X11R5pl13
available for it?

Subject: On board VGA jumper selection problem
Date: 29 Jul 92 22:37:57 +1200
Organization: University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand

	The PC I am using is has got a card and monitor with SuperVGA
capabilities but I find that I cannot use the extended VGA modes that it
is supposed to support. I have a program (called ADAPTER.EXE that came with
SVGA111) that determines what type of card you have and what display resolution
you can display. It shows that the computer will display 320x200x256 and 
640x400x256 but the latter does not work. The manual for it displays an
On Board VGA Jumper Select table that give three different alternatives.
It is currently at the 'Software Control' setting and has two more that
are 'Hardare Enable' and 'Hardware Disable'. Should this jumper be set to
'Hardware Enable' to obtain the extended modes or is it another problem?
The BIOS is Phoenix 80386SX ROM BIOS Version 3.01. Could this be the reason
why the extended modes do not work?

Several things can make blocks unmovable. Hidden files, such as IO.SYS 
(which should be left alone and hidden), lost clusters, and the file
used by 4DOS/NDOS (DESCRIPT.ION) for file descriptions all will be shown
as unmovable. If you wish, you can use the ATTRIB command to remove the   
'H' attribute. As for lost clusters, you should run the NDD program since
you have the Norton Utils.

no.. but with a poor compiler the speedup will be 1-2x..
a 486 is not just a 386 with a numeric copro..It has a complex pipeline, and
gains significantly from instruction reordering on even 386 code...
( note: this requires the use of a compiler with 486 support, like Watcom C9 )
so you get:
	1) 1-2x from moving to 32bit for many app's.
	2) 0.5-1x from moving to native-mode
	3) 3-5x from using '486 code reorganisation.

so the total moving from 286 code on a 486 to 486 code is about 3-10x with a
	GOOD COMPILER!!!

note: 486 mode does not stop it running on a 386. it just reorders the code to
	stop pipeline stalls..also, pipeline may not be technically correct,
	but the effect is the same as pipeline stalls..

I have a Gateway2000.
The keyboard is the soft touch type, not the click keyboard.  Very good
keyboard if you like soft touch-- I do.
The computer itself does not feel "like a clone".
Everything about this computer, from the 15" monitor, to the ATI Ultra, to
the Micronics motherboard, to the Western Digital Hard drive,
screams out QUALITY!
I have not had my Gateway for very long yet, so I cannot comment too much
on it's reliability.  But the computer does feel rock solid.

I have nothing against Dell or Zeos.  I'd love to have either one, but they
are very expensive.  If I were going to spend that much money for a name
brand, I would get a Northgate (or Dell).
The Gateway is on the same level as these top brand names, but does not cost
nearly as much.

Just thought I'd add my $.02

Facts, please post facts not rumours... You don't know for sure and external
clock speed is a meaningless number. For instance, *ALL* transputers use 5MHz
clocks which they multiply internally to xxMHz (xx=20, 30, maybe 50 or more).

Smartdrv 3.x is controlled by IOCTL calls and V4.x by INT 2F calls.

With this information I was able to write a program to shrink the cache

Organization: NetLink Online Communications, San Diego CA

I have Windows 3.1 running on a 386DX-25.  Sometimes, I like to run 
more than one DOS program at a time (for example, have Telemate 
dialing in the background while I read messages offline in the 
foreground with XRS).  My problem is this:  Half of the keystrokes 
that I type into XRS in the foreground bypass XRS and instead, end 
up being processed by Telemate.  I especially hate it when the 
keystroke is ESC, SPACE, or ENTER, because those keys disrupt the 
dialing sequence.  I figure this has something to do with the way 
Windows handles keyboard input to DOS programs.  Lowering 
Telemate's background priority has helped some, but the problem did 
not disappear.  Does anyone out there know of a way to force 
Windows to not send any keystrokes to Telemate (or any background 
DOS program, for that matter) when it's not in the foreground?  Any 
help will be appreciated!

	I sure appreciate this tip, would you also know of any good games for

Subject: Some comments on WinTV card
Date: 31 Jul 92 17:12:29 GMT
Organization: Computing Services Division, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee


	Last week I was able to play around with a card called WinTV, which
basically allows you to watch tv on your PC monitor.  I will give my
impressions on it and then I have some questions for anyone who has used this
card or others like it (if there are any). 

	The card can take input from cable, a vcr, etc.  I think you can
also hook up an antennae to it, but I'm not sure.  I don't know if you
you can redirect the sound to a stereo either.  The television picture itself
was very nice and clean.  It didn't slow down the system at all and the system
didn't effect the image refresh either. 

	The tv window can be anything from a small window to the full screen.
If you resized the window and the picture looks distorted (i.e. too wide or
too tall) there is a menu choice which will automatically adjust the window to
the closest size that will make the image look "normal".  There are volume
control buttons (and mute).  A very nice feature is the ability to freeze an
image on the screen and save it to a file (normally as a .BMP file).  This
image can now become your windows background or you can bring it into your
favorite paint program and have some fun.  There were a lot of other software
features, but I didn't get to play with them.

	The card is priced around $350 (I think) and it includes the winTV
software for Windows.  

	Now,  has anybody else used this card that has some comments on it?
I admit I only played around with it for a few minutes so I didn't get to test
a lot of the features it had.

	Are there any other cards out there that can display TV or VCR
signals on a PC (i.e. VideoBlaster?)?  

	Is there going to be a better/newer version out anytime soon?

thanks,
Rob

Thank you to all who replied to my question about FastMicro, and their 386-40.
From the information I've received, I have decided NOT to buy from FastMicro
and would like to ask suggestions on alternate companied.
My first and foremost concern is Longevity.  I want to buy from a reputable
company that will still be there several years down the line.
Given the choice, I would get a Dell, Northgate, or Zeos.  But I cannot 
afford those big names.  I already have a Gateway, and would definately buy
another Gateway, but I am looking for a better value.

I would like:
386-40 or BETTER
8 MB RAM
130 MB Hard drive or bigger
ET4000 video
15" monitor (Mag Colorview 15" or comparable)
both floppies
8 exp slots, 4+ drive bays
mini-tower or baby AT case w/ 200w power supply

Companies that I would be interested in are Standard, Centrix, KeyData, HD
and any other comparable companies.  I am not interested in any local brands
that sell outrageously cheap computers, or buying at a computer fair.
I want service and reliablity.  No fly-by-night companies.
What do people have to offer?  Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

(Oh yeah, I am trying to keep the price around $1800 or less -- I might have
to settle for a 14" monitor)
