I am looking for AMD 386-40MHz processor. Is there any place in
USA or Europe to buy one. Of course I could try CYRIX 486Dlc. Please
email if you know any place. (fax# appreciated).

Er... this is not possible since the ProDesigner IIs uses the ET-4000
chipset (I know, I have one :-). More likely it is just the increased
bus bandwidth (32bit) and bus clock (33MHz) that account for the
difference described. Ignoring (rather crudely) the video card processing,
these two factors alone should give a speedup factor of 2 (b/w) * 4 (clk),
or approximately 8. Of course, actual mileage may vary.

I originally own an Seagate 1096N + ST-02 controller 
with the floppy disk control on it.
Recently, I bought a Maxtor 7213 and get a IDE controller
locally. 
The problem is that the IDE controller also has a floppy
disk control on it. So it conflict with the floppy control
on the ST-02. 

Does anyone know how to disable one of the floppy control on
either card? I can not disable it on the IDE controller, because
there is no such jumper. And according to the info. I have
for the ST-02 controller card, there is also no such jumper.
Is there a dirty way to do it? Or I just have to find a place
to get a IDE controller whose floppy control can be disabled.

I can use the two hard disk at the same time but no longer have
access to the floppy diskette anymore.

Any idea?
Thanks

  I have a couple of IDE drives hanging around here that I'd like to use 
in the same machine.  One is a Conner CP3000 and the second is a
Western Digital WD93044-A.  They work if only one drive is in the machine,
but I don't have the jumper list, etc. to find the master/slave jumpers.  If
anyone has a more or less complete list, it might be nice just to have around

Greetings everyone,

I just recently came into possession of a board for (I am assuming) the
IBM PC family.  I have only the board itself and a single 3.5 floppy that
came with it.  I need to know what type of board this thing is, any help
would be appreciated.  Respond either here or via mail, thanks.

Description:

	1)  Disk - Single 3.5 floppy, manufacturer "Specialix International",
		   labeled as SLXOS, UNIX V Release 3, Xenix V2.3 Driver,
		   Version 5.0.1, Install using custom, format: 138 TPI tar.

	2)  Board - Board is marked as a "SI HOST", revision 2.0.  The board
		    has an output connector on the end of the board thats 
		    36 pins, "RS" style.  2 rotary DIP switches, 1 pull-
		    off, push-on jumper.  The main chip looks to be a
		    "Zilog Z280 MPU".

Oh, the copyright on the board is '89, while the copyright on the floppy is
'92.

If anyone can fill me in as to what this is, and what the re-sale price is
(the board looks to be unused, was still in its bubble wrap when it came
into my possession), I would be extremely grateful.

Thanks in advance,


					John

I've had mine for a  week.  It has not (knock on wood) crashed yet and
hte only problems i've had were OS/2 related to the ATI video drivers and
I think 95% of that was my own fault.

It is fast, the only benchmark I have right now is a 3dbench score of 45.4
which is a measure of graphics performance and is about 2.2x my previous
486-33 with an ATI ultra.

The graphics and other LB slots are VESA standard.

I have been very impressed.

Sorry, but none of the PC/XT motherboard switches needs to be configured
for this purpose. They govern performance of POST (1), coprocessor (2),
system board RAM (3-4), type of display card (5-6), and number of
floppy drives (7-8).

  I've recently had a Maxtor XT-8760E hard drive donated for use
at this site, but I'm having a problem bringing it up.

  I know the drive geometry, but there are a bunch of jumpers on the
logic card that I could use some information about (I did figure out 
which one is drive select..)

  Does anyone have the book on this puppy??

  It was taken out of a DEC mini.  I'm trying to get it working with
a 386/MSDOS/Western Digital WD1007A-WA2 controller.  The controller
seems to see the drive's physical paramaters, but so far I've
not been able to get it to format the drive ... or offer a useful 
translation.

  I've also tried Disk Manager and SpeedStore ... both without success.

  
  Any info would be much appreciated ....

If it is a standard K/Lok 40 Meg then it should have 10 pins next to the
IDE cable connector. There should be a blue jumper across two of the pins.
   --------------   /-------------\  /-------\
   | 9  7 5 3 1 |   |  IDE CABLE  |  | POWER |
   | 10 8 6 4 2 |   |  CONNECTOR  |  |       |
   --------------   \-------------/  \-------/

Going by the above specs the settings are 5&6 for Master and 7&8 for slave.
The seem to be lots of compatibility problems, but the best results are
usually obtained from setting the K/Lok to master and the other drive to
slave. I just recently spent some time trying to get a 120Meg Conner to work
with one and even with the above configuation sometimes the bootup would
take approx. 1 minute. Other times it would go through fine. The drive seem
to work perfectly under Dos and Windows but if I tried to get a benchmark
under Checkit (I think checkit bypasses Dos during this test) I got a lock
up. Any idea why (other then just saying they are incompatible.) If I set up
the drives the other way round (Conner Master) I didn't even get a display.

Power supplies are most stressed by 1) the extra load of spinning up hard
drives (and supplying other components) when the system is powered up, 2) the
initial _jolt_ of any power-on, and 3) fluctuations in input voltage,
such as brownouts.
The only thing you can really do about #2, which isn't really that big a deal
anyway, is never turn the machine off (that will help with #1 too).  Bigger
power supplies won't be choked/croaked by #1, and most of them can also
handle #3 better (especially because they're often simply better units, like
the big 450W from PC Power & Cooling).
A 200W unit is probably "good enough", but "probably" and "definitely" are
not the same thing.  In this case, "probably" will "probably" die in 6-12
months, depending on how bad the power is in your area.  You could always
get a line conditioner; they help.  With your load, there's no way I'd
trust a 160.  And since that 160 is a non-standard size (Slackard-Bell?),
replacing it will cost $$$ when it _does_ bake.

Problem: Modem doesn't respond from win/s when CD-ROM works,
	 CD-ROM doesn't work from win (enhanced mode) but modem does.

Setup:	GW2000 486/33 8Mb RAM, 205Mb IDE Drive w/STACKER 2.0,
	386MAX 6.0 loads just about everything high, SMARTDRV,
        NEC CDR37 CD-ROM (Trantor T128 SCSI i/f), MSCDEX 2.21,
	Telepath modem at INT5.

I couldn't find anything that says which (if any?) interrupts
the Trantor SCSI i/f is using. (It does map its i/o in UMB from
CC00-CDFF, but that's all the docs say.) I've gotten the CD-ROM
to work reasonably well if I run Windows3.1 in "standard" mode, but
then the modem fails to respond (running Crosstalk).

Running Windows normally, Crosstalk works just fine, but the CD-ROM
doesn't. The system just hangs as soon as anything (file mgr,
WinPlay, etc.) tries to access it.

Does anybody have a similar set-up, or can give me some insight
into the Trantor SCSI i/f?

Thanks in advance,
