Hello 3b1 supporters,
          
          Can anyone out there tell me how to access the assembler on
the 3b1?. Is there a debugger for the 68010 assembly language?

          Unrelated question, Does anyone know where I can obtain 
the schematics for the 3b1, or anything close to it.

                              So long for now

Thanks, Tom.  (Oh, I forgot to mention I have a hefty power supply in the
XT box which will handle both disks.)

Yeah - I think you're right.

Any day now...  :-)

Thanks much - your encouragement does help - and knowing there are folks out

I'll let y'all know when I take the plunge.

Yessir.

	I have found a few discrepencies with the the sprint program. I noticed
	that the sprint would not work anymore after I had a seperate
	partition for /tmp and /usr/spool. It was using a linking command and
	sysv doesn't like linking between partitions. This is if you have
	seperated the /tmp from your /usr/spool/lp. 

	Another problem I have found was that when I was using multible
	inittab gettys for login, wmgr would have a memory leak and I would
	have to zap wmgr every 5 days and restart it again. Once I have
	restarted it the print-screen would no longer work either. If
	I did a shutdown and startup again it would be ok.

	Thats what I have found. I fixed the sprint so it would work with
	the partition linking problem by using adb to change the /tmp
	file to a /usr/spool file so it was in the same partition.
	I fixed the wmgr problem by getting the THE STORE wmgr and that
	stopped the memory leak so I don't have to reset it anymore.

	It sounds as if you are experiencing the nefarious "burned
motherboards" problem.  On the 7300's, power for the hard drive was to
the motherboard and back out to the hard drive.  Since this is a fair
amount of current, the board gets hot, melts the solder which corrodes
and gets hotter and increasing the resitance through the connection.

	One repair suggestion has been to clean and resolder the power
leads to the hard drive and the power supply.  A better alternative is
to get a Molex connector to connect into the hard drive and make a new
power cable and bypass the motherboard connections.

a less formal, but eaiser way is to get windy from somewhere and use:

Can anyone tell me what is on this disk, and is there anyway I

  Yes, it would be nice if there was an escape sequence to change
the window name, but it *is* possible without source code.  Grab
"windy" and see how it is done....there is a window ioctl call.
(I have a "windy -n 'Login'" in my ".profile".)

The 3b1 uses a home brew memory management scheme.  There is no MMU.  It is done
using some memory chips and TTL logic.  It implements simple 1 level memory
mapping, with the memory chips as the page table.

There are 1024 4K pages, thus giving the 4MB virtual memory limit.
Along with the 12 address bits for each page, there are 4 other protection bits.
I believe these are read, write, and execute permission, plus a page modified bit.

Subject: hard disk woes

I've made a horrible mistake.  I turned my 3B1 off for a while.

Until recently, "jonlab" had been a 3B1 running continuously for
4 years.  It was taken off-line for a few weeks and when I tried
to reboot, I have voluminous hard disk errors.

The system boots from a floppy-based UNIX, so the basic hardware
is OK.  The diagnostic disk reports about 300 HD errors.  Different
ones on most runs.

Some HD errors seemed to be repeated on most diagnostic runs.  I
listed these in the bad block table and got further in the boot
procedure.  Now it seems to get to UNIX and I get a "panic" message
followed by an automatic reboot.

I recall postings from 3B1 gurus about similar situations.  I think
they dealt with connector corrosion and/or low (adjustable) power
supply voltage.  However, those reports are on 3B1 medium and I can
not access them just when I need them.

Do you have any suggestions on what to try to get my 3B1 back on-line?

Jon

There was mention not too long ago of an lp model description for an
Epson LQ printer (or something closely related) for the 3b1. I
followed my usual procedure for recording information:

	1. Write down specifics, including email addresses.
	2. Wait a few weeks, then clean up desk.
	3. Remember that you needed information which you've thrown out.

I would like to tailor a model description for a printer which has an
Epson LQ emulation, and would appreciate it if someone could either
email me the description, or direct me to where it lives. Thanks a meg

	What I tried to infer was to not bother installing Fixdisk 1.
Any improvements on it were included in Fixdisk 2.  But the wmgr after
Fixdisk 1 was still flakey, they made some corrections and installed
some other bugs.

The 'new' wmgr mentioned above appears to be either a part of base 3.51 or
was on FIXDISK2.0, as my system already has the features mentioned as part
of the one on OSU-CIS.  The following output from "what" shows what's here
on hawkeye:

/etc/wmgr:
	 wmgr:wmgr.sl 1.8 

I've seen somewhere (another followup) that the one on OSU comes back from
"what" with version 1.7.  With the 1.8 version, I have run 37 days with two
gettys running on window devices (may have gone longer... rural power :-)
and have no known memory leak problems with any processes.
