Hi,

 I bought a (supposedly) EGA card for my computer...  It did not come w/
any documentation, so I need some help on jumper settings, or other info
about the board...

   It is a paradise card, short, 8bit...  at the top of the card, it says 
'Autoswitch Monochrome REV 4'  Just beneath it has a bank of 6 DIP 
switches.  It has a standard DP9 monitor port, and a DP25 (parallel I assume)
along the bottom, it says Paradise systems, inc, 1987, and ASSY 28100+
It has 2 big PGA chips - 1Paradise PEGA 1A 383048, the other Paradise 
PBI 38306C 8808

Any help on switch setting or specifications from someone who has a card
like this or the manual would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,

Stephen

FWIW I have not seen this problem on my system, which uses a Denon
CD-ROM drive and a Future Domain MCS-350 controller.  An attempt to
access the CD-ROM drive while an audio disk is present results in
an I/O error message.

I suspect that your SCSI driver software is at fault, but without
more info I can't be sure.

More to the point, you need to install the newer printer drivers that came
with Win 3.1 if you haven't.  These do not always automatically install.
If you don't have the new driver, no TT fonts in Word.

A friend is setting up a system for a handicapped user with one arm. He's
using a PC Magazine utility called Stay Down which makes the shift/ctrl/alt
keys "sticky" for one keypress, so you can do key combinations with one
hand. Not surprisingly this doesn't work under Windows. Is there an
equivalent utility floating around?

How well is the P24T suported -- clock rate, bus widths, etc?  I.E. how should
one expect ZEOS' machine with a P24T to to compare to P5 machines?  To top-end

I keep hearing about the importance of 16550's -- how does the 87311/16450

What does this mean for speed?  Effectively ISA speed?  Effectively local bus

What do you offer that goes in these two slots?  Any performance figures?

I am interested in adapting some lab equipment so that it can be used in
the field.  The system consists of some sensing devices connected to an
IBM 8088 which does some calculations and spits out meaningful info.

My question:  what would be a good low priced, reliable laptop which could
be used for the data acquisition?  As you can tell, sampling speed is not
a high priority.  The current system samples only at about 4 Khz and it works
just fine.

This system will be marketed if it proves to work correctly.  This leads to
my second query:  anyone know anything about how I could approach a company
such as IBM and ask them to donate equipment to the company for development?
I heard that there arre cases where IBM will donate a computer or other
hardware to a fledgling company in exchange for a guarantee of a contract
if the product winds up in the marketplace.

  By the way, what ever happened to those people who were waiting for

Sorry if I was a bit unclear. I've had a closer look a the box and it
contains a 327Mb drive, a Micropolis labeled 1558, ESDI interface.
The tape-streamer is a Wangtek QIC-24.
From what I can see of the controller, w/o disassembling the whole unit,
it says 'Emulex'. MD-21 I guess.

Any more clues, anybody?

Summary: An upgrade form XT to AT...

Date: Sat, 12 Sep 1992 03:05:18 GMT

Hi,
        I have a fairly interesting problem with an upgrade I'm preforming
on a 286. I have a XT that now has a 286 motherboard running at 16MHz. 
I'm still using the MFM HardDrive and card that's in the system. But the 
problem is with the Floppy Drive. I have purchased a AT FD/HD CTRLr to use
with the current drive in the system. The drive is a 5.25" 360k 1/4 height
drive. The problem is that I keep getting a FDD error on startup. Why? What
would cuase such an error? I have disabled the IDE port of the CTRLr and
set the CMOS to no HD installed. I have even pulled the card from the system!
I belive the problem stems from the drive itself. The drive has some Switches
on it. Could it be a setting? The drive is a Okidata GM 3315BU. Here is a map
of the switches:
        T D D D D         | This drive appearently worked with the original
        E S S S S         | XT board and FD card. Also I am attempting to 
        R         M H H   | set this drive as Drive A, so wouldn't the DS 0 
        M 0 1 2 3 X S M   | switch need to be on instead of the DS 1? I can't

        0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1   |    0=OFF 1=ON  | connections on the ribbon cable
 
I should be using for drive A, Is it the one on the end or the middle one?
I've only done this once or twice on my system... And all I had to do is 
plug the card, plug the drive, and set the Cmos... Why am I having so much
problems? 
        Also I will be attempting to use the old MFM CTRLr and MFM drive as 
the hardDrive in the system! I realize that I cannot use the CMOS setup to 
reconize it, but If/When I get the Dos prompt, I use DEBUG to call:
        -g C8000 or something simular... can you direct me?
 
I really need YOUR help! Send me ANY info you can think of. I can use it.
The really funny thing is that I built my AT from the ground up, but I can't
remember exactly what I did... Too many EE classes between then and now!
 
E-mail your response ASAP.
And Thanks!

interface department, when compared with products like fastback & cpbackup.

But, I have had constant restore problems when using cpbackup - and often when
I do a backup with verify the backup fails.  Do the same backup with verify
with the CMS software (tape) on to the same tape & the backup/verify is fine.
Restores are never a problem with "tape"  (They really worked hard on the name
for their product didn't they!)

I have heard this several times on the net, but I was wondering if this really 
was a case of cpbackup is _really_ not working properly with the Jumbo drives.
(Many people swear by cpbackup, but when asked if you have ever restored more
than just the occasional file, the answer is usually no. They do lots of backups
but have never really proven thay could restore the whole drive.)

Has anyone used cpbackup to backup & restore a complete drive without a single
problem?  I have done this many times & usually (but not always) have problems
with one or more files.  The most annoying aspect of the program is when it
does find an error it usually goes up the creek!  It report there's an error
reading file "xyz".  If the file spans more than one block it re-reports the 
error for every bloody block!  There is no way to say "forget this file"!  
Sometimes the program then can't find any files following the defective file.
However if you start the restore again following the defective file it'll
restore OK.

	I am currently using a rather No-Namish motherboard by a company
named EXCLUSIVE!

	The board seems to be of rather high quality, and I have yet to
encounter anything remotely wrong with it.  I will be getting a 50Mhz 486
motherboard from them within a week or two.
