Dump Sytos Plus, it's a major negative.  Cast about for ASPIBIN.ZIP, which
is an ASPI'ed version of GNUTAR for DOS; it's on a bunch of ftp sites.
Works consistently better than that crappy Sytron offering...

	Apologies if this is the wrong group but: I thought it would be 
trivial to interface a serial printer to an IBM PC... it 'almost' works
in a funny sort of way.  The printer is an Okidata microline 82A (right;
I got it cheap) and it has a DB-25 serial connector on the back.  Using
the COM2 serial port at 9600 baud, no parity, 8 bits, and sending the
lowercase alphabet, it prints the following:

   ab@d@@gh@@k@mn@p@@s@uv@@yz         and sent the uppercase alphabet, 

   @@C@EF@@IJ@L@@O@QR@T@@WX@@          note the correspondences of @'s

in the upper and lower case, so if I wanted to mix upper and lower, I could
get the whole alphabet.  If the '@' showed up every OTHER ascii character,
I would guess it's a parity problem.  I tried odd, even, mark, and space to
no better result.  The problem is exactly repeatable, so I assume is  
a coding problem rather than some cable capacitance problem or some such
glitch.  I would appreciate any suggestions emailed to:

Hi!

A friend of mine in the UK wants to buy a PC with  the following
configuration:

486 DX33/DX50
HD 120M/240M
8M mem
2 FD: 31/2 and 51/4
no monitor or keyboard

He was interested in buying it from the States, as the prices seem to be
much cheaper. The question is:

Does anyone know of any reputable mail-order house in the US that will sell
such a system to the UK. How much would be the price, and how much the cost
of transportation?

Please, post the answers to:

(news to Bristol is very unreliable). We will post the answers afterwards (if
there are any).

I don't think EISA is 16MHZ. If I remember right, the standards are as follows:

ISA: 8 mhz
EISA: 10 mhz

Using multiple partitions is somewhat more dsik-space efficient.
Since DOS has a limit on the number of blocks on the disk it can address
a bigger disk has to use bigger blocks. This means that small files
use up alot of disk space (space is allocated in integer number of
blocks). Partitioning your disk makes it look like multiple smaller
disks.

The answer is a simple *no*.  

Now, for the more complete answer, here goes.  *Many* motherboards can
be run at several speeds (25/33/50 Mhz) depending solely on the CPU
chip, BIOS, Oscillator, and RAM installed.  So, it may be possible to
switch the CPU chip and the oscillator and everything will work fine.
The BIOS may croak if it has timing loops that must run at a certain
speed (but you could always upgrade the bios too).

Is it worth it???  Doubtful, especially with all the problems that
could crop up.  The CPU chip is still the single largest cost item and
is roughly 60-85% the cost of the entire motherboard.

I had a similar problem with a 16 bit WD controller -- it was solved by
DISABLING the on-board ROM BIOS on the controller and using the motherboard
BIOS. I don't know what your options are for your card and MB -- either might
work.

	Yip you should have some heatsink compound between the chip and

     This is not necessary if you run the latest version of the CMS
tape backup software (version 2.54 is the first version that will work
under Windows 3.1).  I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the
virtualized floppy driver took care of all of the timing problems.
Being able to keep the bus timing to the default value is very nice,
as lowering the bus on time decreases disk throughput.  [ As a side
note, if you don't have a copy of Roy Neese's SETSCSI program, get it.
It allows you to set/reset the bus timing parameters on the fly --
very useful for the DJ-20.  You can get a copy via anonymous ftp from
ftp.psg.com (look in /pub/adaptec/).  ]

Has anybody managed to successfully connect a 'shoebox' from a SUN
workstation to a PC? If so, what type of controller did you use and
did you experienced any problems?
I'll be grateful for all replies.

Thanx in advance!

Hmm.  I tried using a VGA to LC adapter with my IIci a month or so
ago, and got nothing.  The monitor's screen didn't even flicker.

Hello.....  I would like to upgrade my 286 machine to a 386-40.

	Can anyone tell me of any problems or specifics I need to know
about before investing in the 386-40 motherboard.  Is this as easy as
replacing the motherboard???  Any help is greatly appreciated.
