In the past, I heard about a network of Vic-20's, that would literally stand
up and dance, it was that good.  the same can be done on the TI-99/4A, no doubt,
but is not readily available.  It must be done from scratch, unless somebody
who has done it shows up and gives details.

I recently heard a strange story about a TI-99/4A LAN card from TI used in a
network of TI-99/4A machines running Plato and terminal emulation programs
for an inner-city educational project.  Much as I tried to get details on this,
I was unsuccessful.  I still have my doubts about the validity of the story;
at some point I thought they were mixing the TI-99/4A with the TI 990 series
minicomputers, but they were firm that what they had were TI-99/4A's...
Strange.

Does somebody have information on operating 2 expansion boxes as one system
(i.e., hooked up to the same TI-99/4A console)?
I know it can be done, and probably in a very simple way, but I'd like to
know for sure.

Is the partition of the TI-99/4A memory into 24K BASIC program space,
8K assembly, and 12K/16K VDP RAM in Extended BASIC
due to the architacture of the computer/memory expansion card, or
the programming of the XB module?
I do not know of any GK modification of the XB module that overcomes this.
However, Harrison Software came out with a program that (I think) at least
loosens the 24K and VDP RAM partition.
Does XB level II/IV (Myarc) also limited to 24K/8K?
Will XB III (Asgard) also have this limitation?
Thanks in advance for any information.

I remember many years ago that some university engineering dept. had networked
a room full of TI's to share one disk drive and printer (by using one console
as a "master" unit, and the rest as slaves... not sure what the details were.

What sort of networking did you have in mind? (i.e. what application?)

Is the card of value without the DSR (you said it was available SANS DSR...)?

Ohhhhhh.... Lee Bendick....  He told me about running 13 different cards,
8 floppy drives, and hard disk drive(s?)...  Power hungry!
He also owns one of those status-symbols 99/8 with a vast array of hex-bus
peripherals.
Of course, he does his real work on a fast Intel microprocessor, and I heard
that he got a small house with a basement full of computers.
I bet when he turns on his system, the lights in the whole area dim,
and that when he went to Chicago for 2 days the local electric utility company
had to shut down 50% of its capability.

It was Lee Bendick who was working with B.B. (Barry Boone, NOT the french sexy
B.B.) on something for chicago.  Was it shown?  If Barry has already replied,
I am sorry, nothing came here for a few days...  Please repost :-(

I have mailed you the details.  There were also a page or two on installing

The IEEE is a card that uses scientific instrumentation interface,
also used by Hewlett-Packard for all their periphs (printers,
plotters, etc.).  It is one of the "Never Released" category,
like the Video Interface card and a few others that exist
is small numbers.

As for clock cards- he has the 2 cards checking each other.
But the MBP card also has the A/D/C port in addition to the 
clock.  And the Triple Tech has the 64K print buffer and the
speech-in-the-box.
As for floppies, he is running 8 drives on the 2 controllers.

Power hungry!

It's true that I didn't test these. I have heard that it solves the

The beep comes from your keyboard <beeep>. This is probably a piezo ceramic
beeper which has only one frequency. The keyboard is also used for the key-
click sound if you configured one in the eeprom values.
I don't think that you can change the pitch or something else in software
here. If you have the sources of the kbd driver, however... ;-)
You could try to change the beep to a 'visual beep' (flashing window) in the
termcap entry if the cmdtool or supports such a thing.

good luck,

Hello,

I have a SPARCstation 2, and I have an Apple LaserWriter Plus postscript
printer.

I would like to connect the printer as the <lp> device.

We already have it connected using a homegrown device that converts simple
text files to eps format.  But this isn't any help in apps that want to 
access the printer directly.  Escpecially Openwin apps.

The Sun docs have almost no information on how to attach any printer, and
I'm thinking that postscript is not an option at all.

I would prefer answers by E-mail, as my news server is irregular at best.

SunSoft, and therefore their customers like SunPro, is moving to OLIT for new 
development. Current apps will be left in XView, which will continue to be 
supported (nobody knows for how long), but OLIT is the Wave of the Future.

Now, I don't want to get embroiled in any religious wars, I know next to
nothing about either of these :-). I just thought I'd throw this little bit
of information out and see what happens ...

Hi, everyone.
I've got a few problems finding information on how to configure the
serial port device driver under SunOS.
I looked in the global index of the manuals looking for "line
discipline", an all I found was a useless piece of information about
the use of STREAMS, which was no use for me.
Where can i find information about this "line discipline" stuff ?
Another question I have is: Where can I find an explanation on what the
tty flags ANYP, CBREAK, TANDEM and MDMBUF mean ?
Finally, my last problem: What do IOCLT calls with TIOCLSET and FIONBIO
do ?
Help on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
