to ERIC BOHLMAN re: R/IBMAUX1?
|
|
|
|
IBMAUX1 is a dual-I/O driver - it looks for both local keyboard and
|
|
via int 14, remote keyboard (allows running a remote dumb terminal,
|
|
also, I'd thingk). All output is sent to both the RS-232 and to the
|
|
local console. This allows - at a minimum - the local CRT to display
|
|
all output, rather than just being "blank" while I'm in DOS doing
|
|
house cleaning.
|
|
However, I think one "hack" we'll probably try will be changing to
|
|
shelling to command.com with a COM1: driver instead of ibmaux1.

to ANDY SHAPIRO re: R/BOARD LEVEL REPAIR.!
|
|
|
|
I think the ability to fix your own machine is totally dependent upon
|
|
the complexity of the problem.
|
|
For example, at power up over the last 5 years I've had my PC, it has
|
|
on 3 occasions given me a memory error (I don't mean to imply I didn't
|
|
have any problems - the memory problems caused Parity Check msgs
|
|
while I was running software - or when I had Periscope resident, it
|
|
would think I was hitting the break out button).
|
|
I was always fairly trivially able to replace the memory chip.
|
|
However, later on, my breakout button for Periscope stopped working,
|
|
and I found out that my NMI was in fact broken, meaning I'd never be
|
|
able to detect a memory error again!
|
|
There are about 5 chips in the parity check circuitry (from the
|
|
bus-connector to the processor connector, but I couldn't find any
|
|
way to really find which was at fault, and while I replaced one chip,
|
|
I didn't solve it. The parity errors are much easier - and the easiest
|
|
are the power-on messages telling you which chip is in trouble.
|
|
I decided to replace the motherboard, and now have a one megabyte
|
|
8mhz 0-wait state 286 in my original PC. Works great, makes the system
|
|
quite useable.

to ALL re: CBBS 9600 BAUD!
|
|
|
|
CBBS is now fully operational with the new HST donated by US Robotics.
|
|
Thanks to them, we can now handle 300, 1200, 2400, (4800? untested)
|
|
and 9600. Output will seem slow at 9600 due to parallel local console
|
|
being driven - PCs are notorious for their slow scrolling.
|
|
ARQ (i.e. MNP) is supported also.
|
|
Thanks to the interrupt driven RS232 routine, we're interrupt driven.
|
|
RS232: by Mike Macgirvin, Mountain View, CA. This is v1.00 (8/7/86)
|
|
I will try to (1) get the MSTATS routine back so you can all see the
|
|
percentage of calls by speed; and (2) Randy wants a default of turning
|
|
the local monitor off so it will scroll faster at 9600 baud.
|
|
Thanks again, USR. Thanks Mike Macgirvin.
|
|
P.S. this is STILL running in 8080 code, using Mike Day's V80-20.
|
|
Gee: MIKE Day's V-20 routine, MIKE Andrews of USR arranged the modem
|
|
donation, MIKE Macgirvin supplied the interrupt routine, MIKE Warot gave
|
|
me IBMAUX1 (dual console driver) that initially allowed CBBS to move to
|
|
a PC. ;-)

|
|
|
|
What kind of modem do you have? The newer modems all should have an
|
|
extended result code which detects things like "busy", "no answer",
|
|
"voice", etc. Then a simple routine - probably BASIC would be most
|
|
easy - could simply send the dial strings to the modem and watch for
|
|
the result codes.
|
|
In BASIC you can talk to the modem via:
|
|
open "com1:1200,n,8,1,rs,ds" as 1
|
|
then you can send strings to the modem via:
|
|
print #1,"atdt5458086"+chr$(13)
|
|
and can watch for input from the modem with:
|
|
if loc(1) > 0 then x$=input(#1,loc(1):goto ___ (got input)
|
|
Now you have to be a basic programmer to take these tidbits and turn
|
|
them into a program!
|
|
Also, I may have the #1,loc(1) reversed (may be loc(1),#1) in that
|
|
input statement.
|
|
I think the modems use the ATXn command to set the result code to
|
|
a value that would give you the most verbose and informative answers
|
|
to what it sees after dialing the call.
|

|
to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/BOARD LEVEL REPAIR.!
|
|
|
|
I suppose you're right. But in MOST cases, it should be within
|
|
the capability of the user to fix things. I began to adopt this
|
|
perspective many years ago as a ham operator. I was 14 when the
|
|
power supply in my rig (high volts, lots of tubes) began blowing
|
|
fuses. I called up the local repair place, and they said, "Oh,
|
|
$30 an hour plus parts, 2 hour minimum." I was able to isolate
|
|
the problem as a $0.50 rectifier in the power supply. Since then,
|
|
I have tried to avoid owning things I can't fix - or, in the
|
|
alternative, I have tried to learn to fix that which I have. It
|
|
makes for an eclectic education.
|
|
As for the NMI stuff, the nice feature of NMI.COM is that it REPLACES
|
|
the built-in NMI checks. If it hits an error at any point after
|
|
it's installed, it tells you where the error is, by address, bank,
|
|
and bit (chip). Lots easier than the POST information. There are
|
|
probably other 'autodiagnostic' tools. We need a complete list
|
|
of them, since diagnosis is the first step toward cure.
|
|
On the other hand, the new motherboard sounds like a great idea.
|
|
But you're talking to somebody who still does most of his work on
|
|
a 4 MHz Z80 machine.

Here's a routine that should get you started. Your BASIC probably has
|
|
better structuring facilities than the rather generic code here, but
|
|
at least it's a start. Note that I'll be appending a "%" to names
|
|
of variables that should be integers.
|
|
|
|
1000 rem update CRC value
|
|
1010 rem c=current character, crc=present crc value
|
|
1020 crc%=crc% xor (c% * 256)
|
|
1030 for i=1 to 8
|
|
1040 t=0
|
|
1050 if crc% and 32768 then t=1
|
|
1060 crc%=crc% + crc%
|
|
1070 rem thanks to Ward C. for suggesting the above
|
|
1080 if t<>0 then crc%=crc% xor 4129
|
|
1090 next i
|
|
|
|
I'm assuming that you have an exclusive-or operator and that it's called
|
|
"xor" (it might be "eor" on some systems). This is just a quick hack,
|
|
but I THINK it will do the trick.

Last week I was doing some work on a 10NET superstation, and

while I didn't notice any overall slowdown, there were times

when the cursor seemed to 'stick' to a spot; these times were

during disk accesses by other stations. Something like that

Hi Roy. Saw your message to Alex Zell and thought I would update

you on the information I gave to Mike Andrews about the ORIGINAL

CBBS modem I own. I bought it from Randy after it had problems

after about the first 50,000 calls. I then paid to have the

manufacturer repair it for me and used it in my early ALTAIR 8800
|

for almost a year. I used it until I went to an external modem,

|
but to the best of my recollection I started to have some problems
|
|
with the auto answer feature.
