Howdy, fellow Wisconsonite. (I'm from West Bend, about 30 mi. N. of
|
|
Milw, 17 miles in from the lake).
|
|
How do you page the SYSOP? What's that? I live about 40 miles
|
|
from the system. There is a CHAT function, but Randy, the hardware
|
|
guy, doesn't answer it. He's busy with "bigger and better" things
|
|
(literally - a multi-user Unix system).
|
|
Can you enter a message E-mail to me? I don't know what you mean by
|
|
"Email" - do you mean "private"? The only semi-private messages are
|
|
the ones you leave as comments when you say (G)ood bye. However, there
|
|
are a half dozen folks who have priviliges to see the log.
|
|
Why, if your bulliten (sic) is so important, didn't you at least SAY
|
|
what the general subject was?

to GARY ELFRING re: MCS DISKS
|
|
|
|
Jerry has told me that he's seen a program running on an MS-DOS machine
|
|
that can access the MCS disks, so I doubt there's any controller inco
|
|
incompatibility. We suspect that the disks are written in a BIOS-compatible
|
|
way. What he really needs is a disk editor that can read and write
|
|
arbitrary sectors and that can deal with a non-dos disk (i.e. doesn't
|
|
try to determine free space, count subdirectories, etc.) to see if
|
|
this suspicion is correct.

|
|
to GARY ELFRING re: R/MCS DISK
|
|
|
|
To follow up on the "latest" after Eric's msg, I've thus far been able to at
|
|
least access the disk with a program designed for reading/writing <<CP/M>>
|
|
disks. (It has a mode that lets you set some parameters.) It is, however,
|
|
too limited for ideal use. So I still am looking for a disk editor
|
|
(similar to the old DU-Vxx CP/M program) which logs in the A: drive
|
|
and does <nada> till a track/sector is provided.Beyond that, by
|
|
far my greatest interest is someone who has written routines to read
|
|
from/write to MCS disks. I've captured the first track and so have
|
|
a rough idea about the directory structure. But the real specifics
|
|
of exactly what must be updated when, determining free sectors, etc.,
|
|
are still a mystery. At the moment, I'm taking a back-door approach.
|
|
A friend with MCS hardware is providing a freshly formatted disk, plus
|
|
another which (again, after fresh formatting) contains two carefully
|
|
selected files with known structure/length/etc. The idea is to see
|
|
how the disk has been altered by MCS hardware itself. A slow, trial
|
|
and error process; but till I can get some hard data or someone with
|
|
direct experience.
|
|
In any case, thanx for the thoughts, though.

to ALL re: AT&T MOTHERBOARD REPAIR
|
|
|
|
Does anyone know a reasonable shop where I can have an AT&T PC6300+
|
|
motherboard repaired? WHen I power up, all I get is the LEDs on the
|
|
keyboard flickering forever, no video at all! I am looking for a
|
|
repair shop that won't charge me more than the price of a new clone
|
|
to fix it. Any suggestions??

|
|
|
Anyplace in Chicago have barcode reading pens? Specifically, I'd
|
|
like them to fit into an RS-232 port along with the keyboard, or
|
|
have the keyboard plug into them, and then the unit into the port.
|
|
Several mail-order places in CA advertie, specifically TPS
|
|
Electronics in Palo Alto and Worthington Data Solutions in Santa
|
|
Cruz, but it is a little far to drop in and look at the units.

Has anyone read of what the life of an unused disk is?
|
|
In other words, if I save a file to a disk in 1989 and store the

disk in a filing cabinet, will the disk be good 5, 10, 25 years

from now?

I believe Microbyte Systems in Arlington Heights carries at least one

John,
|
|
I believe INTERMEC has what you are looking for. The correct term is
|
|
WEDGE READER. It wedges between the keyboard and the PC. They are not
|
|
cheap. I am not sure of their exact address but I believe they are
|
|
in the Northwest suburbs.
|
|
Hope this is of help.
