        I have not reached full an understanding of your thought, but
have met some words having attracted my attention. My current task is
to make working under Protected Mode a library that erlier has been working
with DMA under Real Mode. Is there any method to do that, taking into account
mixing of addresses in the case of Protected Mode ? If I rightly estimates
the situation, sometimes DMA will get requests to fill or read a memory
region devided into pieces allocated in different places of the phisical
memory. Is this problem generally resolvable ? Is it possible to use
DMA in Protected Mode or not ?

Hi:

I need help with the dip switch and jumper settings for a  
I/O card made by Suntek. The card is an I/O extension rev-2
card with two serial ports, game port, clock and parallel port.
It is made for an XT by Rectron for Suntek. 

I don't have any information or documentation on the card. If anybody
can help with the settings or has documentation I would appreciate
your help.

Thanks

The ATI Pro is still 8514 reg compatible (although obviously you won't
get the high-colour/true-colour capabilities with 8514 drivers).  This
is according to an ATI tech rep I talked to.

	This is the first time I heard that Cyrix's chip is buggy, just wonder

you might want to try Electronics Dynamics (1-800-845-8228), the price is for

What would you choose for running SCO UNIX if you had to choose from

Both have a 486DX 33MHz. The only difference I can find from the

has built in SCSI.

Oh????

I've seen this on a Leading Edge Model D - a 8088 machine, no

7	--/  It tells the mac it's a VGA screen.  (Monitor type)

That is correct for a Mac LC, and therefore should be standard across all

Having more local bus slots allows the CPU to access more devices at CPU 
speeds instead of ISA or EISA bus speeds.

Sure.  1-800-DIGI-KEY.  Tell them that you want "NS16500AFN" as a part number.
You will get:

Part Number: NS16550AFN
Manf Number: PC16550CN

which is the latest and greatest version.  They run a bit less then $12.00
each.  I think min order is $25.00, so grab 2, and a 40 pin socket.  :-)

I don't know much about the UARTs but i know, that the 16550 has an internal
buffer of 18KB, which will save the data, if the CPU cannot look at every
interrupt, if there is an information. It's good for multi-tasking-os's.

Hi, all !  I'm looking for a new/used power supply for a Packard Bell PB500
XT.  I called Packard Bell and was referred to one of their authorized 
resellers (PC Serviceland in Atlanta, GA) for the non-standard sized power
supply (PS-90I - 90 Watt ?!?).  I was quoted a price of $156.00 !!!  I told
the guy that this was ridiculous since I could buy a "bare bones box" 386SX
(case+power supply & motherboard) for that price.  He told me that Packard
Bell really sticks it to ya for replacement parts and that the power supply in
question is non-standard size for a reason - $$$...  Well, to make a long story
longer, I need a power supply that will fit this tiny case, has a 10-pin power
connector to the motherboard, and at least two additional connectors for the
hard disk & floppy disk.  I was told by someone that Packard Bell is OEM'd
by Samsung (or was it Zenith ?!?) but I don't know if this is true.  I will
be willing to pay $20-30 plus shipping for a working power supply but any 
more than this will not make it worth my while.  Thanks !!
