I just got a stealth VCRAM because I was going to buy another computer with
an upgradeable motherboard. Up to 486-50. But my friend said that the local
bus is much better than any of the accelerator cards. Should I hold off and
buy a local bus machine or do I need all of that graphics power. I think
you would only need it for CAD/Cam or some intensivce graphics stuff. Any
messages would be most helpful.

I want to thank those who posted and/or mailed me wrt the problem I was
having with the Adaptec 1542B and using UMB's.

Most people advised me to get the ASPI4DOS software and thus avoid the
whole smartdrv double buffering issue.  That did the trick..

Please help...

	My old mouse is almost dead!!! So, I'm urgently needing a new one.
	I use this IBM mouse(for the Risc) at work which sounds quite nice and
neat, and so I'd just hope to buy one rather similar. Umm, have you guys by any 
chance seen or got such a mouse(Logitech?)???  
	If I'm not going to find it, I might have to go get a Microsoft one
which I don't quite like...  

	BTW, any info would be accepted and appreciated!

I have some question about PC's motherboards. If there's someone out there that
can answer to one or more of them...thanks in advance!

1. I have a Simphony board 486 50Mhz. My AMI Bios is dated 01-20-92. In advanced
 CMOS setup I can find two 'strange voices': internal cache (enabled disabled)
 external cache (present absent). Originally Internal cache was enabled and exter
 nal was absent. I have 256Kbyte cache TOSHIBA at 20 ns... But the normal RAM
 is 80 ns... When I enabled external cache I obtained that the string "256K cache"
 is shown at boot and the PC is a little bit (only a little in RAM test) faster.
 What does they mean..enabling/disabling 256Kcache should be much more incisive
 and I foud it is incisive enabling/disabling Internal cache setting...what
 is that..I do not think that is is possible to disable internal 486's 8K cache!

2. I set 0wait states in BIOS setup. It works fine. So it should mean that changing
 my 80ns RAM with 60ns should NOT improve PC speed (256K cache should ammortize  slow RAM...)

3. I set BUS CLOCK division (voice: ATCLK2/x where x is 2 2.5 3 4 5 6) to be
 divided by 2!!!!! So my ISA bus runs at 25Mhz??? Is it possible.
 Using other BUS divisions my PC slows down significantly (HD trasfer rate above all)

4. How can I calculate the trasfer rate of my HD?? Core test gives me
  the value of 1.4Mbytes, Norton sysinfo 990Kbytes, CP SI 890Kbytes!!!
  I made the tests with no AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.sys (nothig resident no
 software or Hardware cache). I own a Western Digital Pirana(212Mb).

5. I would like to exchange benchmarks info with You all. You can rename
  Your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS, reboot and run all tests of PCLABS BENCH
  5.0 or 6.0. Then print the file and e-mail it to me at

 tbra380@cdc835.cdc.polimi.it

  I'll collect all and I could send back the entire collection to people who
  sent me one BENCH.
  Remember to eliminate autoexec.bat end config.sys!!!
  Also Windows tests (WinBench) are accepted. In this case tell me Your configuration
 (sende me also config, autoexec, win.ini, system.ini).
  You shoul also tell me what You know about Your hardware configuration.

6. This one is difficult: I heard about 80ns RAM working at the same speed of 6


  RAM because of the major quality of the RAM...someone told me that
  an 80ns RAM TOSHIBA or SGS is better than a 60ns RAM xxxxx(unknown name)
  Is it true????? Have You experience on this????

7. The last: in 66Mhz DX2 PCs the cache RAM works at 66 or 33 Mhz?? And the normal
  RAM

Sorry for the errors but the terminal was so slow...
Thank in advance

Subject: PS/2 Motherboard, but which, and the connectors!?
Organization: Lysator Academic Computer Society, Linkoping University, Sweden
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 1992 00:00:59 GMT

I have this IBM PS/2 motherboard with an 8086 CPU that I had this
wild idea I would build something with so... I'd like to get some
information about it. Like the pin-outs of the connectors on it.

(It says "33F4888 9051" printed on the circuit card).

There is one long connector that is built to take circuit cards
(not ISA, it's longer than that - that looks especially interresting
if one wants to build something to connect to it) and then there are
two smaller connectors (one looks like it could be an IDE interface)
consisting of pins (one has 2x20 pins and the other has 2x22 pins).

I could also use some information about the power connector for it.

A wild idea I have is that one would reprogram the EPROMS and turn it
into a dumb terminal, or build a dual ethernet transceiver card to go
into the long slot and then put some kind of TCP/IP router software into
the PROMS (probably wouldn't fit, so I guess one would have to load
that software from a disk drive).

annoyed my its horrible flickering.  At first I thought t was just my Trident
card (which it may partially be), but now I think that it is more of a monitor

run?  640x480 flickers terribly and I just can't handle it anymore.  Would a

I couldn't find this model number in the various magazines and catalogs I

	Internal half height device
	150kb/sec data transfer rate
	372ms Sequential access time
	527ms 3rd stroke access time
	766ms Random access time
	1169ms Full stroke access time

I'd prefer to get an external CD-ROM. But, Gateway's price is awfully
tempting. BTW, you have to own a Gateway 2000 computer system to purchase a
CD-ROM from their add-on division.

I am having a cache problem.  I have a 486/33 with external

not boot unless I disable the external cache via the
AMI bios.  I thougt that the cache memory chips may be
bad so I went and bought some more, replaced them with
the new ones and it still will not boot with the cache
turned on.  I can alternately enable/disable the cache
and boot each time the cache is disabled.  
I just tried installing all the cache chips to have
256k and it seems to work so far, but something has
to be wrong.  
I did check and change the jumper settings as needed
for each cache setting.

Anyone have any ideas??

I need some assistance from people who've worked with the Adaptec 1542B
SCSI controller and Windows 3.1.

The system I'm trying to get running here is an ECS local-bus 486DX-33,
UMC chipset, AMI BIOS (07/16/92).  16 MB of 70-ns RAM in 4 4MB SIMMs,
Trident 1 MB SVGA, 2SPG, and the 1542B controlling a Maxtor 330 MB SCSI
drive.  The 1542 is at factory defaults (io 330h, IRQ 11, DMA 5) except
for the BIOS address which is moved down to C800 to give me more
continous memory.

The problem is slow HD access under certain conditions.

I need UMB's and EMS, and MS recommends using SmartDrive in lower
memory with double-buffering (this is from the Windows readme).

So the relevant config.sys lines are:

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE /DOUBLE_BUFFER
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE 2048 RAM FRAME=E000 X=C800-CBFF
DOS=HIGH,UMB

Relevant autoexec lines are:

C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE 1024 1024 /L

If I don't use the /L option loading smartdrv, then the HD slows to a
crawl even in DOS.  I thought I had it licked when I found out about it,
but then when in Window's DOS prompts, the HD's back down to a crawl
again.  I normally get in the 1MB/sec transfer range, it drops right
down to around 56K/sec (!!).

I fiddled with EMMExclude= statements in the SYSTEM.INI, and I have
VirtualHDIRQ=off already.

Can anyone help?  I'm sort of stuck here; while the system mostly works,
it's royally annoying not being able to use the DOS prompts..

Oh, OS/2 2.0 seems to run fine ;).  But I still need Windows for now..

Points of interest:

1 - as I mentioned already, if Smartdrv isn't loaded low to begin with,
the HD is slow right from the start.

2 - if I don't ask for UMB's (ie only DOS=HIGH), then everything works.
But I need the UMB's to save conventional.

3 - I can't get away with not using Smartdrive, for a number of reasons;
apparently with a bus-mastering DMA controller like the 1542, you _need_
to load SmartDrive AND have it double buffering (or so MS claims, and
I've had problems without Smartdrive, so I believe it.. on other
1542-equiped machines, if I didn't load Smartdrive /double_buffer before
EMM386 for UMB's, the machine would just crash).

4 - I have not tried QEMM or a 3rd party mem manager; I really don't
want to have to spend more $$ on something that to fix a problem that
shouldn't exist..

If anyone has any advice, I'd be grateful.  Thanks..

Not if you know which end of a soldering iron to grab. These are
12 volt DC fans [I'm assuming a PC] and are plug connected to the
power supply circuit board. Pull the power supply [4 screws on back]
open it up, and remove the fan [4 more screws]. Vacuum all the dust
out of your power supply and go to Radio Shack or electronics store
and get a replacement. You will probably need to unsolder the wires
from the old fan and solder them on the new one, but all you need
to watch is the polarity [red is positive].

Generally, trying to oil these puppies is a waste of time.

The Mitsubishi's are less in price and have better screen quality
compliance with radiation standards.  NEC is a good monitor but
both are about the same.  (Depending on what type of monitor your

I have an old 286 clone that uses a BIOS based on the Phoenix 3.06
release. It seems to have some errors in the BIOS floppy parameters-
when I installed a 3.5" drive, it would try to format at 1.2M before
spitting out "parameters not supported by this device". I used the 
drivparm command to set the parameters correctly, and now I can
format floppies fine and even read and write small files. But when
I start to put a larger file there, I get a "sector not found
writing drive b" error. Any clues? Does the copy command rely
on the BIOS info for doing writes and ignore the drivparm command?
Do I need to go in and hack the BIOS somewhat and try to fix
what's wrong? I'm running MS-DOS 5.00 with and Ultrastor 12F
drive controller.

I've had the original CC for a year and a half, and I like it.  I only use
one voice mailbox; for myself; so it isn't much more to me than an
answering machine there, except that I have it call my pager when I get a
message.  Until recently, I was an independent consultant, and that allowed
me to respond very quickly to client calls.  Furthermore, from their message
I would not be calling blind, so I'd have an idea or two as to their
problem(s).
The FAX works well too, but in my configuration (default to Voice), the
caller must manually press 329 (F-A-X) in order to switch to the FAX
mailbox.
My only complaint is that its TSRs are somewhat large, and there seems to be
a compatibility problem with DOS5 loaded high.  These aren't real issues to
me, however, as I run it in a 286 dedicated to that purpose alone.
Hmmm...my pager just beeped... (it's tone-only, so it must be my CC)

-JTT

PS. On the lighter side, I had it automagically call my mom when I knew I
would be sitting in my parents' living room, to thank her for the freshly
baked cookies I knew I'd be eating at the time.  I got a pretty good reaction.

All modems are serial devices.  You need to cable your modem to your serial
port which is the 9 pin male dsub.  Since you just have one of these ports,
it will be designated as COM1 when you configure your comm. software.

I recently got a new motherboard with a Cyrix 486DLC.  The problem is that
I didn't get the program to enable the onboard cache.  Does anyone know
whether this is available by ftp?  Or, could some kind soul who has it
mail it to me?

Thanks in advance,
