The specs for the FAX modem haven't been released to us as of yet.
I am told that it will be very compact and be at least a 2400 baud 
modem or higher. More information on this will be posted to the 
biz.zeos.announce when it becomes available. If you are unable to receive
the biz.zeos.* groups please and are interested in getting them, please
send me E-mail.

Pricing on the PCMCIA Flash ROM cards is available from our sales 
department at 1-800-423-5891. We have been instructed not to release
any product pricing via the internet. The reason for this is our pricing
changes on a daily basis on various products.


>It looks like a clever product.

We have had several inquiries on this product. It is nice to
be able to type on something as small as it is. It is approximately
4" X 9" and about an 1" high. Further technical information on 
the Pocket PC or any other product can be acquired by sending e-mail
to info@zeos.com. We will look into the further specifications of the 
product in question. 

A very good point was brought up to me and the resolution is:
Official postings from ZEOS will be done from the account 'ZEOS'.
This will clarify that it is an official statement or release from
ZEOS. I appreciate the suggestions on how I should "seperate the 
hats I wear." SO, any postings from 'zeos@zeos.com' are of an official
nature. The 'zeos' account has been set up not to accept mail.

Is yours a 486/33 ISA Free Technologies motherboard?  The manual that
comes with my TriStar doesn't say anything about setting jumpers or

Turbo switch connector.

Just to be sure, did you install 8-1Mb SIMMs or 2-4Mb SIMMs?  The

How did they find out you weren't the original owner?  The few times

solve my problems either.  Luckily, they were minor problems and I

Iomega cartridge drives are great. I've been using them since 1985 and
have used 10,20 and 90 mbyte versions. The only problem with the
product is the lack of os/2 v2.0 device drivers. I still use them from

I wouldn't recommend trying to set up two devices on the same

generally for the Slave or data disk. Leave the IDE as primary

I've taken my floppies and ran them thru our airport-style X-ray
screener 10 times in a row and them dropped them into my AT.
Chkdisk reported no problems.  But then I've run my arms into it
also but I didn't have chkarm.exe with me to see if there were

I've experienced the same symptom, and found that the battery was the 
fault.  I reasoned that the clock requires an oscillator and other logic
to be *running*, while the memory section is merely static data retention.
It seems reasonable that the clock would therefore be more sensitive to
low battery voltage.

    Hi,

   When I press F1 the PC boot on the hard disk, and display the prompt.

   The problem is that the floppy is unusable. I canot read disk on this
   drive. If I try to reboot the PC with a dos disk in the floppy,
   It displays the following: Insert a disk in drive A and strike a key.
   I strike a key and the same message is displayed,....
   
   I tested the drive on an other PC, and it worked fine, so I suppose
   it is the floppy disk controler of the ATARI wich has a problem. But
   I canot replace this controler, because it is integrated on the 
   motherboard.
   
   Is it possible to disable the ATARI controler to put an other one
   in one free slot?
   Is it a problem of configuration?
   Is it possible to replace the ATARI controler, by replacing a set of

I am writing an interface program for a high speed digitizer to run on
a Mesa 6c23 system.  The target system is a 16 MHz single board system
which drives an 8 bit passive backplane.  The board has a chips & tech
82c230 system controller chip which emulates the 8237, etc from the 
original PC.  The digitizer wants to transfer to memory using DMA channel
1 and needless to say I am having some trouble setting it up due to a
dearth of information on the details of setting up the transfers.

One thing that I have sorted out from an IBM PC-XT technical manual is that
the register for the high nibble of the DMA address (IO 0x80-0x83) is
accessed in a strange way (at least from my interpretation of the schematics)
channel 0 and 1 will have the high nibble loaded from 0x83 
channel 2 will have the high nibble loaded from 0x82
channel 3 will have the high nibble loaded from 0x81

Have I got it right?
If so, how do I avoid a contention problem with chan 0 refresh cycles?

Any code fragments on programming DMA channel 1 will be greatly appreciated
by return mail

Thanks

<sri@stationd.storage.tandem.com> has problems with adding 1Mb SIMMS
to his machine which already has 4 Megs of 1Mb SIMMS.

Theoretically, there should be no jumper to set for the additional
memory to be automatically recognised.

However, one thing which might merit being looked at is if the SIMMS
that have to be used are 8 bit SIMMS or 9 bit. 9 bit SIMMS have a
parity bit, and this is usually required by most PCs. As a result,
if the SIMMS you are adding are 8 bit SIMMS then they won't be recognised
because the parity will be wrong.

The idea of 8 or 9 bit SIMMS exists only with 1Mb SIMMS.

Hope this helps,

Orchid is planning to release Fahrenheit 1280 driver for OS/2, and it
can be downloaded from Orchids BBS when it's released.  There's no
exact schedule, when it's released, however.  It will be posted to net
when it's available.

Assuming these prices are still valid, is there any reason to purchase
the 83D87-25 over the -33?

That's on the high end of the going price for the 1542b KIT.
You can get it for around $ 265 from Avnet Computer, and the
last time I checked, the 1542B OEM version was $ 165.
