Ok. Got a interesting problem for you guys out there. Name this Z80 based
micro and I'd be very happy about any info about this machine. I'm planning
too hook it up to my own Z80 machine.

Bought busses facing downwards.



E 1032 MLGMBH RAM 384 16082 :

Same size and similar bus to the right one on the above card. 
40 MK4564N-15 RAM chips (320Kb) and room for another 8 chips (total of 384Kb).
Got Intel D3242 on right just above the bus.


So what is this thing ? I'd be very grateful for documents about the bus
this thing uses so I could connect it to my own micro. All I got is these
two cards so I don't know anything more :-(

Thanks, maybe you could help me !

Its an i860 box running UNIX System V/860 Release 4.0 Version 1.0.
We are trying mildly to get some standard public domain software

In particular if you have any info/binaries/patches for:

gcc2
X11R5 (or even R4 for that matter, the X supplied runs poorly)
or anything else.

I have built tcsh for them, thats about all I can get to compile.

Subject: Information on GRiD Products
Date: 16 Apr 92 18:12:09 GMT
Organization: Netcom Online

I have received a great number of requests for info on the PalmPad;
thanks for your interest!

Here are numbers to call for information:

For glossies/brochures:			(800) 222-GRID  (that's 222-4743)

The PalmPad, which is a MS-DOS pen computer, has a detached pen (the pen
on the GRiDPad is attached), and a much nicer writing surface, IMHO (the
surface of the GRiDPad makes writing sort of scratchy).  The PalmPad has
a 6.5" (diagonal) back-lit LCD display.  Its removable battery pack can also
be worn on your belt to reduce the unit's weight to 2.3 lbs.  You can also
choose to have either a spread spectrum radio or a data/fax modem inside.
The PalmPad can use either SunDisk storage cards or the industry standard
PCMCIA RAM storage cards.

Applications for the PalmPad can be developed using GRiD's PenRight!
environment, which sits on top of DOS.  The toolkits for developing
PenRight! applications include: PenRight! Pro, for C developers;
Pen-Pal, which has an easy to use high-level language; and PadBase,
which is for Clipper.

FYI, right now there is a special promo for PenRight! Pro.  It
normally sells for $795, but if you order now, you can get it for
just $199!!  This is a great bargain, if I do say so myself.

To order PenRight! Pro at that price, and to order any other
GRiD products, call:

(800) 356-4743

or you can call Steve Green at:	(214) 746-4744

Just to clarify, the "Grid Systems 220" mentioned above is actually
the GRiD PalmPad computer, which was recently announced (and, yes, it
actually exists).  It is 9 inches wide, 6.2 inches long, and 1.9" in height,
and weighs about three pounds (with battery).

I don't wish to be accused of using Usenet for commercial purposes, so
(DISCLAIMER -- this is provided for information, not for advertising) if

post/email further specs and info.

I'm not sure what happened in your case, but I've talked with a LOT of
folks developing PenPoint apps in a number of different places who have
had exactly the opposite experience.  I know it can be frustrating
trying to adapt to a new environment, but you have to understand that
PenPoint is in its infancy.  Windoze has been around a long time (other
than the Pen extensions) and has had plenty of time to get the kinks
out.  Now that GO is finally about to get the product out the door
(as they announced today), hopefully they'll be able to redirect some
of their resources toward developer support.

Don't give up on PenPoint yet.  I'm betting that it has a lot of life
in it!

We did see have a demo in at our shop about a month ago using an early
machine.  The Infolio does have some nice attributes.  It is not rugged
enough or bright enough for the factory floor at present (in our opinion).

But, it could work well in a number of other situations.  And yes, they
did quote a price of about (US)$1,900 in quantity one for domestic delivery.
We had no reason to ask about pricing in Europe, but, it seems logical that
it will be different than the US price.

At this point we have not ruled out the Infolio.  However, there are at least
two other systems in roughly the same class as the Infolio.  They are the 
Poqet Pad and the GRiD Systems 220.  Both of those systems are based on the
Intel/MSDOS architecture which can provide tremendous benefits in terms
of development tools, programming talent, communications and so on.  Since
we (like many other firms) have considerable depth in the Intel/MSDOS
development game this does give those two units an edge.

Selection of a system for your application is very, very dependant on a mix
of factors such as required battery life, ruggedness, data quality (e.g.,
hi-res graphics) and quantity, communications, development tools and so on.
If the Infolio fits within the broad parameters of your application then
by all means check it out.

Are there any public domain or shareware SLIP (serial line Internet

Doesn't matter if they're for BSD or System V UNIX.

If so, where can they be FTP'd from?

Also what would be involved in porting them to run on the AT&T unix pc?
I know you have to somehow munge the code into a loadable device driver
(BTW where and for how much can one get docs/tutorials/info on how to
write those, and how to convert existing drivers to be loadables)

Please send mail to dburr@sbphy.physics.ucsb.edu, as listed above.

	The following assumes that you have the 3.51 version of the os.  I
can't speak for the earlier versions because I have no experience with them.

	The actual terminfo database on your 7300 should be a tree of
subdirectories under /usr/lib/terminfo.  What comes with the machine is much
better than the supplied /etc/termcap database.

	If you have the development set (which you must have if you are
planning on compiling tic), you should have tic.  It is in /usr/bin on my
7300, although I don't know whether it was loaded from the foundation set or
the development set.  I'm running 3.51 (3.51m) actually, but the floppy
distribution was 3.51, and that is what had tic, and captoinfo as well.

	There was a terminfo install disk which came with the foundation
set, and a terminfo database floppy set which came with the development set,
as I remember.  If you don't have /usr/bin/tic, you must not have installed
everything from your disks.  

	You don't want to try compiling the database on a different style of
machine, since the byte order may be different on that machine.  That is why
the terminfo database is distributed as source files rather than
pre-compiled.

	Good Luck
		DoN.

I am (was?) a proud owner of a 3B1 with 67MB disk drive.  Last weekend,
my clock battery died, so I figured I would replace it ala FAQ, with new
battery and holder.  This done, I reassembled the pieces on my desk.

I then put in my floppy boot disk to fsck my hard disk, and got:

    Version 3.51
    Real memory = 4194304
    Available memory = 3850240
    Main board is P3..P5
    Floppy Unix
    Please insert Floppy File System disk disk 3 of 12
    Press any key when ready	(inserted my disk here)

    :S:D:: The previous operation on this floppy disk was incomplete.

    Please run Floppy Disk Repair or remove all files and reformat ...

    #HDERR ST:1 EF:4 CL:4200 CH:4200 SN:4200 SC:4202 SDH:4220

    panic: iinit


So I got out my diagnostic disk; it passed every test, except for those
involving the hard disk.  (The processor test failed too, only after
trying the paged memory test, which I assume involves the swap space on
my hard disk.)  Excerpt of messages:

    WINCHESTER DISK TEST
	Recal Disk
    Hard disk restore failed.

		** ERROR **

    Hard disk test ( Drive 0 )
    Subtest: Recalibrate
    Error: WINCHESTER: Can't recal: Response=4

    etc.


I'm hoping I just have a loose connector somewhere.  I took it apart
again, and found one of the ribbon pins bent outside of the connector.
(Of the three ribbon cable connectors on the mother board, it was the
second cable, lower left-hand pin, if that helps anybody.)  As it was
2 A.M. late last night, I went to bed, and will try again today.  I
would appreciate *any* pointers, helpful comments, insightful
explanations of error messages, or suggestions for a new computer
purchase. (half :-) )

Please respond via e-mail; post too, if you like, but I will summarize
if someone asks me to.

I have a related question.  I picked up a KA9q binary, as well as the

on how to set up the configuration files.  Basically I will be running
SLIP off my serial port (/dev/tty000) and would like to set up ftp,
telnet, and al those goodies (including a hosts table, etc.)

Where can I find the docs on how to do this?  Or does someone with a
similar setup have some config files you can mail me?

I would appreciate it a lot.   My address (i think) is
dburr@sbphy.physics.ucsb.edu

Many thanks in advance.
