There is no difference between an internal and an external drive. Most of the drives can do this (Sony and Panasonic are two for sure) with no problems.

    I just saw a utility in a local comptuer store called "FAST". It claims
it can make XT's run as fast as a 386, and a 386 600%+ faster.
    It seems like it uses some sort of disk cacheing software to speed up
the computer. The salesperson couldn't tell me much about the product
itself, except that it's sold really well and has heard nothing but good
things about it. I'd like to get some more information on FAST, so if you

Subject: XMS Memory
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 1992 19:50:08 -0700

I have a 286 using the NEAT Chips and Technology with 3mb of memory.
I use DOS 5.0, use QRAM to load devices and TSR's into upper memory.
The extended memory I have divided into expanded and extended of 1 mb
each, with a ramdrive in each.  With HIMEM, DOS loads into the 64K of
high memory.  A ramdrive is set up in extended memory, leaving
187K of extended memory available.  I have an application
that uses extended memory, but it will only use the 29K left in the
high memory area (64K) also used by the DOS kernel.  Problem:  How can
the extra extended memory be made available for the application?  The
mem command reports the following:

1048576 bytes total continguous extended memory
      0 bytes available contiguous extended memory
 187392 bytes available XMS memory
        MS-DOS resident in High Memory Area

The first few lines of my config.sys file are:

DEVICE=\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=\EMM.SYS
DEVICE=\QRAM\QRAM.SYS R:1
DOS=HIGH

Thanks for any suggestions.

  If all you're doing is transferring files, you can use DOS's BACKUP and
RESTORE programs. They in effect split files to accomadate them on disks.
But the professional backup programs are much better and faster. e.g. Norton
Backup, Central Point Backup...

Yeah it's me again.  I hate to include you comp.os.msdos.apps people
in on this, but I figured I'd try and get a greater audience, so
here's what's up.

I've narrowed down the choices for my next computer to just a few.
However, I do have some questions.  

I ran  Microsoft's Diagnostics (the one included on Windows 3.1) on
one computer and it said that although the computer chip was a 486,
the BIOS category was shown to be "IBM XT / 286."  I also ran Norton
Utilities' CALIBRAT on the hard disk and it told me the controller was
a 'translating' controller, ie it tricks the computer by telling it
that there are different characteristics on the HD than what actually
is there.

What I'm asking is, should I avoid this computer?  Other than that
it's a good machine.  It blazes well enough, is expandaable to 48MB on
the motherboard, which itself is upgradable (It's a 486SX-20, which
can accept 486DX-33, 486DX2-50, and 486DX2-66 chips.)

So tell me what's up.

Thanks.

    Agreed, Diamond TS s*cks big time ...  They keep on failing on their

months ..  DOS Command will not run in a Window, despite of trying every pif

program itself ... If I have known their way of doing business, I would have

Are you talking about the 432 here?  Then your story is at least partially,
if not totally, wrong.  Not being 8086 compatible doesn't necessarily
kill a chip; the 68000 family is still alive and well.

What killed the 432 was that it was a piece of garbage.  As per my
recollection you needed at least three large chips; multiple processors
could be added to (somehow) improve performance; I think you needed a total
of 6 large chips to equal the performance of the 8086.  All of this
cost many hundreds of dollars and a great deal of board real estate.

The 432 was a "politically correct" chip designed by academics (I went
to school with some of them) working at Intel.  It embodied all of the
fashionable design philosophys, but it's performance was totally abysmal.
My (undoubtedly inaccurate) recollection was that it took 200 microseconds
for a subroutine call!  I do clearly recall studying the specs for that
chip here with Bill Gates, Paul Allen, and other key engineers.   We all
had ourselves a good laugh and never seriously considered it for anything.
The rest of the world apparently did likewise.

Keywords: 6845
Organization: Computer Science Department, University of Cape Town
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1992 07:48:37 GMT

I've been having some problems with a scrolling program I wrote in C.

It scrolls text in 80x50 trafics mode. (Er, normal text mode using upper and 
lower bar chars.)

Now seeing it's using text mode and I'm accessing screen memory direct, I 
wanted to make it work on both CGA/EGA/VGA type screens and monochrome 
screens. Each of these cards has a 6845 or some emulation of it.

I use port 3DA, bit 3 to detect the vertical sync pulse and immediately do
the screen write, which makes for *very* smooth scrolling. On my Oak SVGA, 
my program works both in native VGA mode, and in emulation of Mono mode. In 
mono, the program uses port 3BA, obviously, but my SVGA emulates the 6845 at 
3BA, so it all works as expected.

Problem: On a PROPER mono card, it doesn't work! I've tried and tried again;
port 3BA is the documented port for the 6845 status register, bit 3 is what
I'm checking, but either the bit is always 0, in which case my program hangs,
waiting for the sync pulse, or it's always 1, in which case it scrolls at
high speed, flickering wildly.

I suspect there is another way to detect the mono sync pulse, which works, 
and that my SVGA duplicates its 6845-equivalent wrongly - ie. the status 
register sync bit *isn't* used in a mono card, and my SVGA *is*.

What I would like is 1. An explanation of why this goes wrong, and 
2. The correct way to detect a sync pulse on a mono card.

Please EMail me at agodfrey@cs1.uct.ac.za rather than posting.

Watch out when using PC TOOLS DISKFIX 7 on any drive.  I hope you have version
7.1 instead.  7.0 has errors in it.  You should be careful with that IDE drive.
 I cannot tell you what the diskfix map means.  Central Point has their own bbs

    I only know of software methods of doing this. Disk Manager is a program

I want to buy a dx-50 Mhz PC with local-bus video and disk
controller.  Should I wait to buy until more products are
available which implement VL-Bus (VESA Local-Bus standard)?
The computer I'd buy now no doubt uses a proprietary local-
bus scheme.  How much would this hurt me?  I can only envision
it being a burden if I want to change video and/or disk.  How
long will it be until more VL-Bus products are available?

Thanks!

There are a couple of books out on the market on this; one is Bit-mapped
graphics, I think the other is called Supercharged bit-mapped graphics or
something like that. The first contains a lot of C code and some 
assembly as I recall; I've only seen ads for the other.

    Try sending the string "ATM0" to the modem. That should turn the speaker
off. Send "ATM1" to turn it back on.
