Hi, everybody.

Maybe I am the only person to ask this question.
I am trying to upgrade my old IBM PS/2 30 286 system to Intel 386 or 486 CPU
based system.  I don't want to throw away my whole system and buy new one again. Is there anyway to take some components from my old system and put into new 
system , such as HD, VGA monitor with card,.... Are they compatible each other ? I think my system doesn't use IBM's MVA bus, that means there is not much 
big difference between conventional 80286 compatible machines and mine, is it correct.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

just go ahead and buy another card! you can also disable or change the com

Keywords: monitor NEC
Date: 16 Dec 92 17:10:22 GMT
Organization: Chevron, La Habra, CA

Hello folks.  I'm hoping to get some quick advice about the NEC monitor.
One of our groups is going to buy a monitor tomorrow, and I would like
to be able to present them with some pros and cons.

    1.  What is the specification for the NEC 3FGX?  Is it 14" or 15"?
        What's the max resolution (interlaced and non-interlaced)?  What
        is its scan frequencies?  Does it have auto sizing?  Etc., etc.

    2.  What about reliability and satisfaction?  Is the image quality
        good?  Is the picture stable?  Do you like it?  Any problems?

Sorry to sound so clueless about this monitor, but the group leader saw
an ad for it and asked me if it is a good deal.  He (nor the ad) provided
me with any additional info.

BTW, I'm suggesting the Orchid Fahrenheit 1280 as a video card.  So that's
probably what the monitor will be attached to.

Thanks for your time,

James.

I bought one of these machines, and it works great! The problems I have had
with Gateway are of a more human nature:

1. They sent me someone else's order by mistake. Same machine (4dx2-66v) but
   with 8MB, not 16MB, and microsoft project, not the entreprenuers pack.
   I bought my monitor elsewhere, and luckily they did not send me the other
   guys monitor.
2. It took about 8 hours to get the machine working. It would boot, but
   nothing would show on the display. All the cards were seated well, but I
   adjusted the video card to fit better. After a few hours I removed the
   video card in complete frustration and reseated it. That fixed it. The
   case seemed slightly warped so that if the video card was screwed in, it
   would slightly pop out of its VL slot.
3. My first call was to tech. support. They got back to me in 2 days. Fairly
   grumpy people. (I probably would be too :-)
4. My acct. rep said they would credit my account for the difference in ram,
   and send me a new copy of software.
5. 2 weeks later I got another copy of microsoft project. I sent it back in
   with my RMA number. I left 2 calls to my acct. rep, but got no response.
6. 2 weeks later, still not return call, nor any software!

I like the machine and would recommend it, but dealing with any sort of
customer support really sucks!

	The Ultra + interlaces while the Pro doesn't.

	If you have a good monitor, then the interlacing probably won't be
all that bad, but I usually find it really annoying.

Date: 17 Dec 92 02:28:56 GMT
Organization: Mincom, Brisbane, Australia
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL6]

Hi,

The only difference between the 3 and 9 "lump" SIMMS is this:

The 9 lump SIMMS use 1 Megabit by 1 bit chips.  Since a Megabyte is made up
of 8 data and 1 parity bit, this is the 9 lumps.  (If you have a 4Mb SIMM,
then the chips used are 4 Megabit by 1 bit)

Whereas the 3 lump SIMMS use 4Megabit chips in a 1 Megabit by 4 bit arrangement
for the data (they use 2 if these to get 1 Megabit by 8 bits) and a normal
1 Megabit by 1 bit chip for the parity.

If you look closely at the chips you will see the part numbers on the back,
the 9 lump SIMMS all have identical parts, the 3 lump's have 2 of the 1 Megabit
by 4 bit chips and a singel 1 Megabit by 1 bit chip.

After all that, the 3 lump chips use newer technology, the 9 lump ones are more
reliable in my experience and they are electrically identical and therefore
directly interchangeable.

I have found the country of origin makes a great deal of difference in the 
success/failure rate for the memory.  Japanese RAM seems to be the best, 
followed by USA RAM, followed by the rest.  Intel is actually Samsung and
made in Korea.

The previous statements are not intended to create a great debate, so please
don't start a net war.  They come from many, many experiences of myself and
a friend of mine, who between us have assembled over 400 PC's and have had
varying degrees of success with RAM.

If you didn't get the gist of my explanation, please email me and I'll send
a complete answer.

oh yes it can....  I've seen people trying to sell the 16550 at this
price.  they get away with it because some people don't realize that
they can get the same exact chip (the real National Semiconductor chip)
for about $10 plus a couple dollars shipping.

see above --- your guess is quite correct.  I've seen the 16550 priced
as low as $9, and the norm seems to be about $12.

Organization: The University of Calgary, Alberta

Hello! I just bought a 486/33 with 128k cache. It's a clone, but it has
a real Intel chip and an AMI BIOS chip on the board. My system time (i.e.
the time that DOS prompts you to enter if you don't have an AUTOEXEC.BAT)
is fluctuating -- it can vary from between +/- 10 seconds to +/- 1 minute
per day. The strange thing is that it seems to self-correct it somewhat,
in that if it's +10 seconds now, the next time I boot it up, instead of
being more than +20 seconds, it will be about +11 to +15 seconds fast only.
The overall effect seems to be that my system time is slowly speeding up.

I've sent it back to the dealer and he says he's changed a chip on the
motherboard but it's still giving me problems. Has anyone encountered this
before and if you have, how did you fix it? I also have an IDE controller
card for my HD, an SB Pro and a Trident 8900c/1Mb attached, if it makes a
difference.

Hi,

    I installed Sony CDU-535 about 4 monthes ago.  It was working fine. 
But  when I try to use it yesterday, it rejected all cd-roms (i.e. caddy
with cd-rom won't even be able to stay in the drive).  When I start
windows, windows gave me a error saying system error cannot read from
drive S: (my cd-rom drive).  The strange thing is it did take all audio
cd, and I was able to play them, too.   Why the drive won't take any
non-audio cd?

OS/2 is a real OS.  While there are still some bugs, it is by far better than
anything on top of DOS/windows or DOS/Desqview.   At least running about 6 to 8
different things at the same time wont crash the system or cause share violation
like another "ooperation system"

   Yes, all you need is a SCSI-II adapter, but unless you have a EISA machine,
   you're gonna hit a transfer rate wall at about 5MB/s, and even EISA machines
   can' hack the FAST WIDE SCSI-II architecture which start at about 20MB/s
   thruput.  LocalBus/LocalBus EISA may be able to..

Only disks are available in FAST WIDE SCSI-II right now, and they are
few and expensive and there are cabling issues which can make mixing 8
and 16 bit SCSI peripherals an adventure.  Maybe in a year or so, but
not now.

I just found (and bought and used) a tape cleaner for my drive. It is
labeled "3M DC2000 Series Data Cartridge Drive Cleaning Kit". It contains
a strange looking cartridge that plugs into your drive just like a tape.
This cartridge hold cleaning sticks in 2 places - on the head and on the
roller. I picked this up with 2 tapes certified by CMS for $55 at the
local Micro Center store. You could also probably call CMS for suggestions
on where to buy it.

Windows 3.1 supports the 16550 UART within Windows but, at least in

that would fix this.  That was ages ago when Windows 3.1 was originally
released.  I have not since heard anything about this updated driver.
Does anyone know if they in fact DID update the driver to support 16550
UARTS in DOS sessions?  If so, where can I find it?

Just a something I heard from a system manufacturer. If you want a
second fan he recommends a case fan, not a fan on the CPU. Why, you ask.
The CPU fans are cheap. If they fail, you won't know it since you can't
hear it. The non-working fan will now impede the air flow over the CPU,
defeating the purpose of ALL the fans in the case. 

Just something to think about.

Is "rubbish" the new buzz word used by folks who don't have the

Come on folks, use a little intelligence, or at least a little common

makers around and cache controllers are definitely here to stay.
Rubbish is simply not an appropriate word to describe either of these
things. Admittedly, it is a good word to use if you want to start a

I'm looking for a laser printer and would like a few suggestions as to what
would be the best buy. Here are the requirements for the printer:

under $1000
postscript compatible
4 pages per minute
about 2 megs memory
black/white only

Currently I'm looking at two models: the Epson Action Laser II, and the
Panasonic KXP 4410. Which is better? Are there better ones with what I
need? Any suggestions are welcome!

Which is the faster card, the Stealth VRAM or the Speedstar 24X? Does
anyone have benchmarks for these cards, preferably run on the same machine?

Thanks for any info.
