Your vendor is making excuses.  Would he/she make the same claim regarding
database applications?  How about running netnews?  What about file
servers?  Etc, etc, etc.

I know of at least two manufacturers that offer 5 year warranties on
their drives; Mitsubishi and Maxtor.  There may be (and probably are)
others that also offer them.  Inquire of a NEW vendor regarding
the warranties, some of the extended warranties are an extra cost.

Get a new vendor, one who won't make excuses.


BTW, you didn't mention what kind of drive, or what problems you are
having with it.

Subject: Question about Irwin model 125 tape/EZTape software
Organization: The World Public Access UNIX, Brookline, MA
Distribution: usa
Date: Mon, 6 Apr 1992 16:35:14 GMT

I have an Irwin tape drive model 125, that hooks up the the PC's floppy
controller, and uses DC-1000 tapes.  Though it works pretty good (and
has been for several years), I have a couple nagging problems.

1) I now have a half dozen DC-1000 tapes that I cannot format, even after
repeated bulk-erasures with a Radio Shack hand held audio-cassette eraser.
Would a larger bulk-eraser (the video tape model) perhaps yield success?

2) I am using Irwin's EZTape version 2.20, which has data compression.
If a backup needs to go to a second tape, it frequently gets a read error
when verifying the data on the first tape (I always backup with verify).
The error is 'seek past end of tape'.

3) Is there any other software (commercial or shareware) that supports 
this drive.  I'm not too thrilled with EZTape or Irwin's support.

(The system is a 386, AMI BIOS, running DOS 5.0 & Stacker.  I have set
the DOS_ONLY and EZ_DDD environment variables to allow EZTape to work
with stacker (like I had to do when I ran Ontrack's DM driver).

Any suggestions?

Hello,

I have an older IDE drive, namely the Miniscribe 8051A. I recall that those drives
have a translate specification. I need to know what the #hd, #cyl, #sec/track
settings are. Also this drive has a bad sector map on it. Does this mean that
the drive needs to be low level formated and the bad sectors mapped?

Thanks in advance,

I recently bought a Gateway2000 486DX2/50.

The only complaint I have about this system so far is
the fan noise seems very loud. You can hear the drone
of the fan throughout our house when the pc is on.

Someone suggested I replace the existing fan with
a variable-speed, thermostatically controlled fan which
would only turn on when needed and would only run as fast
as needed. Can anyone recommend such a fan and a source
of supply?

Thanks.

You can mix SCSI and IDE. The boot disk must be the IDE drive. You
may or may not need drivers for the SCSI disk. It depends on the
configuration. One IDE and one SCSI should be OK. If the SCSI
card is done properly the SCSI drive should look like a second
IDE drive.

Perhaps somebody could help me find a 386 upgrade board for
an Olivetti M290?  

The M290 is a 286 with a plug-in CPU board (i.e. no motherboard).  
Originally, this was touted as an innovation that would facilitate
later upgrading to 386 (or other) processors.  Now my local Olivetti
distributor says they are out of stock and not being manufactured
any more! 

If you know where I can get such an Olivetti 386 plug-in CPU board,
or an alternative, please would you mail me?
Many thanks.

There's supposely no difference.  And there're no differences as much as 
pinouts etc, but people claim that the 9 chip type can sink/source (which
ever?) more current than the 3 chip type, which I find it hard to believe...
without actually checking the data books.  My reason for their claims is
that they must have been using simms made by different manufacturers.

Anyway, the 3 chip type is supposed to be better than the 9 chip type in terms
of reliability, power consumption, longer life, and cheaper to produce.  The
3 chip type is the newer kind that used to actually cost more than the 9 chip
ones...

After reading many articles on this subject, I finally was able to acertain

Any comments and suggestions are welcome.  I currently have a AST Rampage

I would also like to know the prices and places where I can order them.  Intel has
a listed price for SnapIn 386 (25sx) at $495.

The 8515 is a high resolution (1024x768) monitor that supports 8514/A and XGA
adapters. The 8518 is a strictly VGA resolution (640x480) 14" monitor that

ATI sells the 8514-Ultra board which is a dual ISA-MCA card (you switch by
flipping the card) that supports 8514, S-VGA and VGA modes interlaced on not.

Fast disk was not installed on my PS/2 55SX because the setup could not

Anybody tried this?  What can go wrong?

On a related note, the PS/2 or PC DOS comes with a utility called Fastopen.
Should I use this in conjunction with Smartdrv and win 3.1 or will it only

Everyone's right.

The Model 55SX has a proprietary connection for a hard disk, but the
connection itself is not a controller.  Hence, it's very much like an
IDE connection, although it's not quite standard IDE physically or
logically.

The drive itself has the controller on it, and it's ESDI.

So, the Model 55SX (and certain 50/50Z/70/P70) systems use a hybrid
proprietary IDE/ESDI hard disk interface.

You can install an IBM 8514/A card, fully populated, in a PS/2 70-121.
This supports an 8514 display at full resolution and will also, I believe,
