Subject: VESA local bus -- A big deal?!
Organization: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY
Distribution: na
Date: Sat, 15 Aug 1992 13:38:12 GMT

      Ok, I'll admit it!  I am one of those people who cannot
possibly have enough speed.  I guess I have done too much work on
real computers (Sun Sparc, IBM RS/6000), which has spoiled me. 
My home computer is now sufficiently outdated (386dx-20) to
justify moving up to the 486's.  I had hoped that the new VESA
local bus standard would be the added advantage to get me going. 
My problem now is, what's the big deal about local bus.  I have
seen some benchmarks recently from local bus vs. coprocessed
video (both S3 chipsets) which shows only minimal gains (1-2%). 
This is hardly noticable, nor is it worth the extra cost of local
bus now. (is the S3 built around the 8MHz ISA bus?)  Since I am
probably going to buy this machine soon, is my money better spent
by using the money to buy a larger monitor, a faster 486, a
faster hard drive, or this speedy local bus (*YAWN*).  
      Has anyone seen better improvements than this, because I am
not impressed!

After being tipped off by another net person, I called Intel, who informed

not any of the 200/400/400e/etc. modems.  (Though the form you download from

Does your adaptec controller actually use DMA under dos? Many
SCSI controllers don't; they don't use an interrupt either.
Thus switching the DMA options on the controller (meant for
other operating systems) has no effect. Could you have
a memory conflict between the SCSI memory address and that of
your Paradise video card? This is a common problem.

Not everyone want's to assemble a computer.  While there are people who

I would disagree.  I've been using two 486 PC's now for months, as has
most of my department, without a hitch.  From your earlier advice, you
suggested buying a bunch of parts as cheaply as possible and putting
together a system.  Perhaps there's something to be said against
that, since you do get what you pay for.  Could it be the problems
you've seen are resulting from "economic tradeoffs?"  There's no
evidence, that I know of, to support the "486's are buggy" statement.
Read PC Mag or Byte.  You never see these sorts of problems in their
reviews.  And, my experience, and that of those I work with, shows 486's
to be completely solid.

Summary: Looking for cheap HDD mail order
Keywords: HDD, hard disk, mail order, ide, tape
Date: 4 Aug 92 16:42:14 GMT
Organization: University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, NE1 7RU

I want to fit a second IDE hard disk drive to my 486SX clone in order
to have one for DOS and the new one for UNIX. Some form of tape backup
device would be a good idea, too.

A 200MB hard disk costs around L400-L500 (US$750-925) here in the UK,
although I can claim some educational discount. I've no idea what tape
drives cost.

1) What sort of price would a US mail order firm charge for a decent
(eg ~15-18ms) 100MB or 200MB hard disk? And what about tape drives?

2) I'd be grateful for recommendations of *reliable*, *quality* mail
order firms who might ship to UK. Contact address ideally would be the
company's fax or email address, but voice or physical address would be
ok.  Ideal method of payment would be Visa or Mastercard.

I don't read all the groups to which I've posted so all responses by
email to me please. As usual, if the response is worthwhile, I'll
summarise.

The Priam V185 is 1166 cylinders * 7 heads * 17 sectors.  Write precomp at
cylinder 128, landzone at 0 (or last cyl, take your pick).

Problem is, since it's greater than 1024 cylinders and MFM controllers 
don't support drive translation, and DOS won't see more than 1024 cylinders...
you'll either need a driver (such as supplied with speedstor or disk manager)
to get full capacity, or you'll have to set it to 1024 cylinders and work
with the reduced capacity (about 62 MB formatted MFM).

I guess this should almost be a FAQ :-).

 Situation: I have a 386-33 clone, with AMI bios [recent revision], installed
is a 81meg maxtor as primary HD and a 44meg seagate as secondary, however 
I am in the process of installing Linux at the moment, to replace MSDOS,
I also have an old seagate 32meg [RLL, 20meg MFM] 69ms drive that has sat
in my drawer unused for near on two years, Id like to try to get this drive
mounted on my system [primarily for source code storage, not swap :-))]

 So I guess I would need a RLL controller that has its controller address
selectable, and install it with a non conflicting address, then its up to
me to see what i can do at the linux end [I havent fully investigated that
side so far, but with kernel source code at my disposal i should be able
to do something]. Has anyone done something similar to this [under any
O/S]? And if so, can provide a list of controllers that support switchable
addressing. 

 Please Email, ill summarise if interest warrants.

Note that the preceding is *NOT* true for 486SX parts.  They, like
their DX brethren, are a full 32-bit processor with a 32-bit
interface.  The primary difference is the absence of the math
coprocessor in the SX part.  Current 486SX parts are also made with a
smaller die size than are the DX parts (they consume less power).

What makes the system cheaper is the fact that Intel artificially
depresses the price of the SX part (and inflates the price of the
487SX part) when compared to DX parts.

The most likely reason for the vertical shrinking on your screen in 1024*768
versus the other modes: polarity of V- and H-sync signals.  (ie. four
possibilities +/+ +/- -/+ and -/-).  And incorrect polarity combination will
usually result in either the vertical size completely overshooting the
display, or shrinking to about 1/2 the display size, or else totally screwing
up the image :).

The vgamode program Diamond supplies with the old Speedstars (ET4000 based)
has custom monitor settings which allow you to fool around with the V- and 
H-sync polarity, as well as horizontal centering of the screen in each mode.
It may work with your ET4000 card...

Once the program is configured, you have to put it in your autoexec (not
a TSR, it just sets the card's parameters at bootup and exits)...should
solve your problem.  You might have the program on one of your driver disks...
the "generic" ET-4000 manuals usually neglect to mention this.

WRT degaussing color monitors, definitely DO NOT use a bulk tape eraser.
The magnetic pattern and strength of the magnetic field they produce
will give you the more problems, not less.

Get a standard degaussing coil.  Radio Shack doesn't carry one.  Try
TV service places and standard electronic supply houses.

Subject: Help: Can't load VESA.EXE for Trident TVGA8900C
Organization: Allen-Bradley Company, Inc.
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 1992 16:47:29 GMT

I recently bought a program which requires the VESA driver for my
Trident TVGA8900C video adapter (installed on the motherboard). When I
try to load the VESA.EXE driver that was provided with my system
(or, for that matter, the one that was included with the software
I purchased) the following message is displayed:

           Error: Wrong system configuration

The board is configured with 512K video RAM - do I need 1024K to
use this driver? Anyone have a clue to lend? Thanks in advance...
