It depends on what you want to do.

If you are going to be looking at .gif's and pictures, a 47hz interlaced
display is better than a 60hz non interlaced.  Most interlaced displays
give a pretty stable picture while the 60hz non interlaced will have
a noticable flicker.

If you are going to be running os/2 or windows, or some other interface
that requires a lot of narrow horizontal lines, then the interlaced display
begins to look crappy because the horizontal lines will throb, while 
the 60 hz non-interlaced will still look crappy because the whole image
flickers.

72 hz noninterlaced looks pretty good no matter what you are doing,
but it is expensive.  I'd say it is worth the money if you want to
run a GUI.  If you just want to look at pictures that don't have too
many horizontal lines get the interlaced monitor.

Also, make sure your video card can support the high refresh rates at
the resolution and colors that you want to use.  This is not a sure
thing anymore.  Ask the vendor several times, because many vendors
don't know what they are selling.  Just because it can do 72hz at
640x400 doesn't mean that it can do 72hz at 1024x786.

I've used the Gravis joystickn and the CH Flightstick.  If you want the  
joystick for flight simulators get a Flightstick.  I got mine for $40  
Canadian.  If you want to play action games, you might want to try a  
Gravis Gamepad.  It looks like a nintendo game pad.  Game pads are great  
for action games but do require two hands.  I've seen gamepads for $25,  
and Gravis joystick for $35.  The Flightstick also has a slider for thrust  
control (Y-axis of second joystick).

I would suggest a Flightstick or game pad, but NOT a Gravis joystick.   
(The centering of mine is totally screwy).

Yes, mine seems to have the same problem. Actually, I think the board
damange my monitor, Sony 1304. The background of my monitor is not
totally black. It becomes dark green now. I also think the windows 3.1 driver
is unstable. The Windows hangs very often. I have to reset the computer
to restart it. Keyboard is just totally out of control when it hangs.
The bundled xansi.sys has problem on my demacs 1.2.0, too. The cursor will
jump to the middle of the line when it is in the top of the screen. Demacs 1.2
runs just OK when I use system's ansi.sys.

I don't have those problems before I use Prodesign IIs. I bought this card due
to the arguments of Diamond free software support problem. But, I am kind of
disappoint to the quality of the bundled software of Prodesign IIs. I think
I will return the board.

I got a chance to see quite a variety of monitors side by side this
weekend, and put the same images on the screen. After looking at
the NEC 5fg, Viewsonic 7, Nanao 9080i, and Nanao F550i, I have to
conclude that the NEC 5fg wins hands down. Although it costs up to
$400 more, I think it's well worth it in terms of image quality. It
was the sharpest and most flicker-free, bar none (1280x1024x16 at 74Hz!).

It also meets Swedish radiation standards, does Pantone color matching,
and has a wide assortment of programming features.

I'm going to buy one soon.

  The requirement of having the ASPI driver present is perfectly
  legitimate.  Without it, the SCSI software would be hopelessly mired
  in custom versions for each brand of SCSI card that comes out.  ASPI
  drivers are a way of "standardizing" the card without sacrificing the

I have an interesting question.. I have a 386-40 with a Trident SVGA
(1meg).
Norton SI is the benchmark program I'll use..
 
With the setup named, and a Viewsonic 5e monitor, the CPU is rated at 42
basically.. (no mathcopro).. The Viewsonic 5e is 72hz.. With a Darius
monitor, the CPU is at 43-something.. The Darius is 70 hz I believe.
 
Is the slowing down of the CPU due to the higher refresh rate of the
Viewsonic monitor? Or is my CPU semi-flawed?
 
I haven't had the opportunity to try it out on a Darius again. Perhaps a
faster video card would relieve some load on the CPU..

Comments anyone?

Date: 16 Oct 92 18:11:51 GMT
Followup-To: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware
Organization: Stratus Computer, Inc.

Hi all,

I'm having mega-problems trying to install a floppy-controller based tape
backup onto my AHA1542B.  The drive is an Identica 60/120meg using DC2120's.
I got it used w/o any docs (eek!).  Any advice at all is appreciated.

setup
-----
386/40, Adaptec 1542B (default settings), AMI BIOS

I have the tape as my b: drive, and have set my CMOS with b: as "not
installed".  a: is a 1.44 floppy.

problems
--------

1) If I access my a: drive, it tells me the drive door isn't closed.  This 
problem goes away if I access the tape first using PCtools, or if I remove the
tape drive from the ribbon cable.

2) using PCTools Backup auto equipment config, it recognizes the tape drive
only half the time.

3) when PCTools does recognize the tape, I can't backup or format since it
tells me the tape is bad after much winding/rewinding (out of 3 tapes that 
I've tried).

attempts
--------

I've tried removing possible conflicts.  I removed my sound card (PAS16).
I booted with a vanilla DOS, etc.  But the floppy drive problem shows up
even before the system boots (can't floppy boot) so I don't suspect that it's
a software conflict.

It really does look like a setup problem, but I don't have any docs so I can't
really play with the dip switches on the tape (there are 5).  

I've tried removing the floppy and just using the tape drive with no luck.
PCtools doesn't even recognize it (even after much fiddling with the dips).

Tried running in non-turbo mode.  No luck.

The tape drive was pre-configured to work as drive b:, and it does sort of 
work, but I would like it to REALLY work :)  Please, please give a friend a 
hand.

Thanks,
Tom

I have the motherboard you describe with a 486/50 chip in it.  It works
great...no problems.  I've been wunning OS/2 v2.0 on it for a few months
now with zero problems. Norton SI v6 (under DOS) gives the CPU performance
at 108.1.

You should still be able to find an 8237A or compatible chip (i.e. 82C37A)
without much problem, since they are still being manufactured as replacement
parts.  Most new designs are not using the discreate (sp?) chip anymore as
it has been incorporated into a variety of PC chip sets that now make up
the bulk of the logic in a modern PC.

You should be able to use a CMOS chip without problem.  Many designs that
start out with NMOS chips often migrate to CMOS because of lower power
consumtion.  Since you are using a 80186, you already have two DMA channels
plus timers, interrupt controller, and chip-select unit, but you can add
extra 8237s with no problems.  They'll work fine with 80186.

I've got a hard drive with 1170 cylinders (more than 1024 that DOS can

so that I don't have to load another TSR to work around the 1024 problem.
So, if the pre-compensation is listed as 512, what would I put in my CMOS
setup if it gets mapped from 7 hds, 26 sectors, 1170 cyl to say 16 hds,
32 sectors and 415 cyl?  Does it matter what I use in CMOS setup for
pre-compensation?

The Cyrix 87DLC is equivalent to the Cyrix 387+ / Cyrix 83D87 (387+ is the
European name of the second generation 83D87 sold after October 1991). 
However, it is a surface mounted chip (not socketed), while the 387+/83D87
is in a PGA (pin grid array) package. The 87DLC is sold cheaper than the
387+ to encourage motherboard manufacturers to include it on the motherboard 
with the 486DLC right away. Hope this clears things up.

Not quite right. You will need:

a) Desqview/X, from Quarterdeck
b) The TCP/IP Network Manager, from Quarterdeck
c) A TCP/IP protocol stack supported by DV/X, e.g. PC/TCP by FTP Inc.

And, of course, a high-speed modem at both ends. Doing TCP/IP at 2400 baud
is agonizingly slow ...

Are most of these SCSI or do they require a separate controller or do they
pretend to be some other kind of disk?  What's the score?

Please reply directly.  Thanks,

	I have been using my Hayes 9600 Smartmodem for a couple years now 
with no problems. But a few days ago, I tried to call a BBS and I heard 
noise in the modem that prevented it from connecting. At first I thought it 
was line noise but the noise was still there after I unplugged the 
telephone line from the modem. Does anyone have any idea what is causing 
this? 
				Thanks
