They are still accepting submissions from the members for various proposals of how to implement the standard.  You don't seem to realize that while v32bis was just an extension of v32 (which took years to pass, implement, and finally sell at a reasonable price), v.fast requires all new technology (not just faster DSP chips, etc.) to achieve its performance.  Wait until next spring for the final ratification and modems coming shortly after that.

I've also spoken to a few  people who run standard local bus video cards at 50 mhz without trouble (and a couple of people who couldn't get a lb card to work at that speed).
Hello, I've been following discussions on 17" monitors in  comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware and noted that the Nanao seems to get very good reviews.  I'm interested in getting more information about Nanao's products as well as some others that may fit the bill.     I would like a monitor that can handle high resolutions like 1024x1024 NI. I'm envisioning using this monitor on an Amiga 4000 or Amiga 2000 w/a graphics board like the Retina, and/or on a Sun like the SPARCstation LX.  Basically I want a high resolution versital monitor.  This monitor need not be large (=>17") if it meets the brief requirements as outlined above.  I've been very happy with a 16" on Suns and could probably cope with smaller at home.  I'm interested if anyone has more details on high quality Sony and Hitatchi monitors since they seem to be used on Sun's fairly often and look pretty good (to me at least).  I haven't seem them brought up in c.s.i.p.h very often as are Mag and Viewsonic.  Ok, stuff I'd like to find out:  How can I get ahold of Nanao?  What are the products in their line?  What are the technical specs?  Esp. what scan freq and max resolutions can they handle?  What's list and street cost - if avail. from a third party, and where can I get ahold of them?  Same info for Sony and Hitatchi.  Thank you very much!!
Subject says it all :)  I'm looking for the jumper settings for an SMS OMTI 8610 AT-bus ESDI  controller card.    Thanks in advance, Richard

The only difference is the time the driver gets loaded. mouse.sys will be loaded during the config.sys and therefor before the command.com. mouse.com will be loaded during autoexec.bat and so after the command.com.  > which one is better?  mouse.com could be started from the commandline after the booting and it could - perhaps - be unloaded, if no other driver is loaded after it. The working of both drivers is totally the same.  When I ran dos, I preferred loading most of the drivers in autoexec.bat, because some programs won't run with some drivers and I could choose the ones I needed during startup. But with DRDOS6, this advantage is gone, because DRDOS lets you choose in config.sys which drivers should be loaded.  Michael
Quantum LPS240A hard disk phantom seeks  I just purchased and installed a 240MB Quantum 3.5" hard drive, model LPS240A, and have a concern about its behavior.  Although the disk drive itself seems to behave properly with respect to file I/O, it performs what I call phantom seeks.  When the PC is absolutely idle, I can hear a spurt of activity in the drive every 30-40 seconds, lasting 1-2 seconds. This activity seems to be initiated strictly within the drive itself since the disk LED never comes on. [The disk LED is attached to the disk controller card, not the drive.]  My other hard disk, a Seagate ST3283A, does not have this kind behavior.  Can anyone comment on this strange phenomenon?  -- --------------------- Steve Harrold			swh@cup.hp.com 				HPG200/11 				(408) 447-5580
I have one of these monitors. It appears to function OK, but is unhookable to anything standard (CGA,EGA,VGA) - it will plug in but gives fuzzy diagonal noise.  I also have a graphics board that is apparently a 3270 graphic board (double card with 2 8-bit bus connectors, and a 9-pin female connector with a picture of monitor). I tried plugging these two into a standard AT to no avail. How can one connect these to (the monitor seems to be of relatively high quality, so I'm curious)? Any special drivers and/or setup needed - I can't locate any jumpers on the card.

BusLogic just announced the BT445 FAST SCSI-2 VLB Interface as of April 20.  This always happens to me!  I have a one week old BT545S which is the ISA version.  I am enjoying spectacular performance with a Micropolis MC2105 560mb 10ms 3.5" HH 5200 RPM drive.  I'll be changing to the BT445 VERY soon, though it is difficult to imagine even higher transfer speeds with the 32bit VESA support.  You can call BusLogic and ask 'em about the NT question. I hear that the support is excellent.   I have not had to call them myself yet. Regards.

I am selling a USR HST 14.4k baud modem with v42bis compression upgrades. THere is no manual, as it was lost going from one side of the U.S. to the other at some point.  THe modem is setup for max throughput, and it has built in help, but a quick reference guide on the bottom of it, so its use it not difficult by any means. Any offers?
Hey, does anybody know anything about Leading Technology Computers??  I have a Leading Technology 6000SX and need a new mother board for it.  Does anybody know where I can get one.
I went out and bought the PAS16 yesterday, and installed it into my Gateway DX2-66V. I followed the instructions and set the SB side with DMA 1 and IRQ5 (the default) and then the PAS side with DMA 5 and IRQ 10. My question is how should I configure for MPU-401 compatibility. The manual and installation program recommended IRQ2, but on my machine it is configured to [cascade] to IRQ8-15. So can I still use IRQ2, or should I choose a different one? Right now I have the MPU-401 emulation mode turned off. Actually what is this "cascade to IRQ8-15" business?    A related questions (to other GW or VL-bus machine owners) I was told that  only DMA 5, 6, 7 are 16 bit DMAs, and 0-4 are 8 bit DMAs. Now what about 32-bit VL-bus mastering DMAs?? Which DMA channel(s) is used by the VL-bus extension to do 32-bit DMA?  Yet another question, after installing PAS16, my Links (golf game) will hang the machine when I select SB mode and run, but works with Adlib mode?? Civilization however works fine ( at least so far). Any body knows what I might have done wrong?
I have a 286 with an M205 motherboard.  The Last Byte memory manager (which I downloaded for a trial) reports the chipset is an AddTech PCCHIP1 chipset, and it is able to activate the ram behind segments A000-FFFF, which can then be used for UMBs (except for video/BIOS).  I would like to write my own driver to activate the memory.  Does anyone know where I can get programming information on this chip?

Thinking of buying from MidWest Micro of Ohio? Think *very* carefully. Unless you are absolutely sure you won't have any problems, you may want to trade elsewhere.  Despite the fact that they answer the phone, "Hi! I'm <whoever> and we're having a GREAT Day!", they weren't quite so happy when I wanted to return a modem that didn't work as I expected it to.  The details:  I ordered one of their house brand "Infotel" 14.4/DF internal FAX modems. In reality, it was a Twincom Lightning FAX that had a paper sticker over the name. Given the poor reports on the net about this modem, I would not have ordered it, had I known this in advance.  It arrived on time. The documentation stated that it would work (and was preconfigured) as COM4, providing that COM2 was not in use at the same time.  For several reasons, I have a serial card configured for COM1/COM2. At the time I installed the modem, nothing was connected to COM2.  Although the modem appeared to work, during every connection at 9600 or 14.4, it would randomly break the connection and hang up the phone. After spending some time on the phone with MidWest's tech support, they suggested disabling the COM2 port.  This appeared to solve the disconnect problem, but was an unacceptable long term solution. I had to have COM1 and 2 available, even though they both would not be in use at the same time as the modem.  I called back 20 minutes prior to their closing and waited in Voicemail  hell, listening to repeated advertisements for MidWest Micro products. I  was then promptly disconnected. Apparently it was quiting time and they  didn't want to be bothered with callers that had been waiting on the line.  I called the next day and asked the Customer Diservice agent for an RMA number. She promptly switched me to a "Tech Support" rep that implied that it was my equipment at fault and that he wasn't going to give me an RMA number. He suggested I use some nonstandard IRQ settings, a solution I was not happy with. The modem should work as originally configured.  Conclusion:  I'm not sure the modem would work ok in a basic system, but it clearly does not work in a multi port system like mine. Since my time is worth more  than the aggravation or the cost of the modem, I gave it to a local charitable organization (with a description of my problem) and ordered a Practical Peripherals 14.4MT from PC Connection.
Hello  I've got an old Trident 8800CS SVGA card, but lacking suitable drivers for windows 3.1. The drivers for the 8900 series seem to be incompatible. Does anyone have an idea of where to get these drivers? Address for an ftp-site would be nice.   Thanks in advance  Jouni
I was recently loaned an older Dec 210 286 at work, and I have the option of adding an additional Western Digital Hard-drive to the machine.  The existing drive is currently a Western Digital as well, and is working fine, but I do not have any documentation available for configuring the master/slave relationship necessary for a c: d: drive setup.  The first drive is currently formatted to Tandy Dos v3.3 but I am eventually going to upgrade both to MS Dos v 5.0  The drives themselves are both model number WD95044-A circa 5-07-1991 They are 782 cyl 4 head drives.  A note to add is that there is no exact configuration for these in my current bios, but it seems to work at a setting 17 (977 cyl 5 head, 300 write_pre, 977 landing zone). There are three pairs of jumper pins on the back that I presume are for setting up the master/slave.  Originally, the drive in the machine had none.  Currently, I was suggested to try the far right (looking at the back) for master and the middle jumper for the slave.  When booted, the reinitialize seems to puke accessing the d: drive.  It does flicker about three times on the second drive, but then gives the error.   Hopefully the problem is as simple as the drive not being formatted, but not being a person who has ever had to actual format and unformatted drive, I would not even know how to do that.  Any and all help on this is great fully appreciated.  If not, a number for Western Digital might just do as good!  swood

I recently bought a monichrome VGA monitor for $99 that will do 1024x768 non-interlaced, which seems like a good deal. However, it is a fixed-scan rate monitor, and only handles 52 kHz horizontal, I think. With my Trident card it works only in graphics modes 5e and 62 - not much use, since just about any application will set the mode to something else, especially if it wants to do text, I suppose. Anyway:   - is there any way that I can use this as a general-purpose VGA    display with a 1-meg trident 8900C card?   - if not, can I do so with some sort of different VGA card?

I own an 8088 640K clone which does all I want except run 1 game I want to buy.  The game says it requires a 80286 with 640K.  Game tech. support says game will run on 8088 but uses a some digitized graphics which would make it run really *slow* (it's a card game - Hoyles Classic Card Games, digitized graphics are photos artwork of game fictional card players).  What can I do to speed up how this game would run, short of an 80286 motherboard upgrade.  Co-processor?  Accelerator card mimicking 80286? My 8088 can run at 10 Mhz.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
