My Blue Dolphin has a MAHA motherboard - actually, I'd never heard of VEGA
before, and I didn't hear about MAHA until I opened up my box...

Their components are pretty decent.  Great quality for the price.  As for
support, well, I'm still in the process of shipping Optiquest 2000 monitors
back and forth across the country; but I'm still under warranty for a fair
number of months, so I have no worries...  Overall, I give them a thumbs up.

WPcom is Write Pre-compensation - an adjustment in the drive signals to the
heads starting at a particular cylinder number. I'd leave it at 0 - with IDE
it shouldn't matter, anyway.

LZone is landing zone - someplace the heads are supposed to go when they aren't
doing anything else. Make LZone = Cyln.

Since your bios supports all of the settings - cyl,hds,sect - then you've
dialed in the right numbers.

The 117mb capacity is calculated sloppily. I've seen Conner 120mb's format to
116mb as read by the bios. You loose space with sector marking and the like. 

Chkdsk and Dir will report a different value. Third party stuff will 
report different values from dos. Sorta depends on who is doing the counting.

The fact that you are considering NextStep or Unix implies that you
intend you spend some significant $$$ on the system. EISA and SCSI
will give you higher performance. Eventually... but there isn't much
available right now. 

You have to try to project what your needs/wants as far as hardware goes
are going to be in the future. I am not sure if you intend to develop
exclusively for Unix or DOS/Windows or both. 130 is enough to develop for
DOS/Windows, but NOT Unix. X-Windows or any Unix GUI will easily
overwhelm a 130 Meg IDE. Also note that IDE is not as intelligent as
SCSI, and Unix can make better use of SCSI than DOS can. And devices
like tape drives tend to support SCSI, at least the good ones.

>  How about Hauppauge or EISA experiences?

Just a conversation with one of the founders. My questions were about
the 4860 motherboard (anyone own one?). But I am impressed with the
innovation that the company has shown. You can cut costs to have an
attractive product, or you can make a better product. This is designed
and built by them. He definitely knew his stuff and shows pioneering
spirit by leaving Intel and starting up a strong company like Happauge.

>  Please help, I don't want to make a $3200 mistake!

Hope this helps, or at least provides some explicit things for you to
consider. It's not an easy decision, and I hope things work out.

Are you sure the PAS16 will be SB *PRO* compatible?  I had only heard
of SB compatibility.

They did their own analog ASIC for the mixer section, by the way.
Really, really nice results.  I understand that you'll be seeing that

I bought my system on Feb. 29. I heard about the refund from some
articles posted in this group a few weeks ago. I called them a week ago
(last Friday) and asked them about it. They said yes they have dropped
their price (I don't know by how much) and yes I qualified for the
refund. The price decrease must have happened recently, for the new
is not in the April Issue of the Computer Shopper (that ad was probably
prepared months ago).

It sounds like you qualify for the refund, but the impression I got from
the sales rep was that I had called just in the nick of time, and that
they were not going to continue refunding for much longer, so you'd
better call soon!   :-)

You can't correct a single bit error in 8 bits with a single parity bit.
To correct a single error in 8 bits you need something like 14 bits.  A
single parity bit will only flag errors - not correct them.

You think this is crazy. PC Week just ran an article on Cyrix's
386SX replacement. Its supposed to be similar to a 486 (SX or 
DX.. not certain) internally, and used clock trebling, quadru-
pling or quitupling to get 40 or 50 MHz throughput. Yet it has 
a 16 bit external bus and fits into the 386SX PLCC socket. 



Could've been an April Fools joke of course....

Anyone out there have any experience with the (ultracheap) U-tron
motherboards?  I do not know where they come from.  Fry's in the SF Bay
Area offers 386SX 16,20 & 25 mhz motherboards for $149, $179, and $179,
respectively.  All are can handle up to 16mb of SIMMS in different varieties.

Questions:  Will they fit into a stock IBM PC/AT case?  Or will I have to 
modify the case with new standoffs, etc?

The memory is supposed to be 4 banks of 2... As far as I know you must use
the same type of SIMM in each of the pairs, but can you use one of the
pair or do you have to use both?  ie:  Can I put just one 4mb SIMM in, or
do I have to fill out the pair for 8MB?

Finally, any quality comments?  Horror stories?  compatibility issues?

I have a couple of AT's to speed up a little, maybe for a BBS, but
certainly for speed increases for OS/2 2.0 & networking...  But naturally
I don't want to blow a bunch of money on AT upgrades when I can get full
blown 386-33's and 486's for under $2000.  But to be able to throw in
one of these U-tron motherboards and 4MB for only $320 would be nice...

	 I don't know whether this is the right place to ask these 
questions as I am new to the computing world.

Can somebody tell me:
  1) is the Advanced Computing Environment (ACE) which was led by Compaq
     My question is is ACE architecture what we now know as EISA?
  2) Is local bus architecture incompatible with EISA or can they co-exist?
  3) I the difference between IBM PS/2 and clones lie only in the architecture?
  4) What architecture (Micro Channel or EISA) provides the most power
     and speed? In other words, is the PS/2 the top of the line or
     do clones actually perform better?
  5) Is the SCSI-2 standard and CAM deserving of all the hoopla?
     Is it the answer to all the incompatibility problems as they are
     cracked up to be?
   Btw, I am also interested in CD-ROMs.
   Is there any internal CD-ROM internal drive that adheres to SCSI-2
   standards and has CAM ability which is also able to play all
   CDs including CD-I, CD-XA, CD Audio, Sega game CDs, and CD High Sierra?
   How much is the going price?


   ALso, would a SCSI controller be able to speed up the Hard Disk to 
   a faster access time than it is rated at?
   Are 70ns memory chips absolutely neccessary for zero-wait state in
   486 EISA machines? And are they adequate, or will future developments
   need faster chips?
   What is the difference between DRAMs, SRAMs, and VRAMs.
   Do they come in different packaging (SIPP, SIMM etc.) to make
them incompatible even within the same family?


Thanks.

This raises an interesting topic.  Are SIPPs just SIMMS with 'pins'
soldered onto them.  When I  got my machine, I was told it used SIPPs,
so I ordered extra SIPPS (from another supplier, cheaper).  When I 
received my PC, it required SIMMs.  I looked at the boards, and the 
dimensions, and the number of pins seemed identical.  Can one solder 
leads onto the SIMMs and turn them into SIPPS, and vice versa?

Does anyone have any information on the new Media Vision Multimedia Kits. The
information I was able to gather is as follows:
Kit #1.
	Pro Audio Spectrum Plus sound card
		16 bit card with 8 bit audio sampling at 44.1 KHz
	Sony CDU 535 CDROM drive
	Compton`s Multimedia Encyclopedia for windows
	Windows 3.1
	Macromind
	King`s Quest 5
	Nautilus
	$995.00 list
Kit #2.
	Pro Audio Spectrum Plus 16 sound card
		Same card as above with 16 bit audio samples (like audio CDs)
	NEC CDR-83M CDROM drive
	Same software as above plus
	Lotus 123 for multimedia
	$1199.00 list

Does anyone have any additional information. I would like to purchase one of
these kits, but I don`t know which.

Also, a question about the NEC CDR-83M CDROM drive. Can Kodak Photo CDs be read
from this drive (with the appropriate software, of course)? The Specs says that
it it CD-ROM XA ready. What does this mean?

Thanks for any an all information.

I requested this info before, but due to a recent hard drive crash I lost
the information that was sent to me.  I need info on how to play ordinary
8-bit sample wave files on my Sound Source D/A converter box.  Someone 
sent me a code fragment before and that helped me out quite a bit.  Based
on that code fragment I was able to write a simple sample player program 
in no time.

My goal is to write a Windows 3.1 driver for the Sound Source.  Please 
e-mail any info you can provide.  Also, if anyone knows whether a Sound
Source Windows 3.1 driver already exists, please let me know. 

Thanks, 

Mike
