kinds as well. Information on board-level controllers not specifically

|

Most European countries use the PAL standard for video encoding rather
|
|
than the NTSC standard used here. (I think France uses yet a third
|
|
standard). You'll need to get the tape converted; some video stores
|
|
can do the conversion for you (I recall a number of places in the Indian
|
|
neighborhood around Devon and Western advertise the service; I think
|
|
India uses PAL so imported tapes need to be converted).

to ALL re: CP/M UN-ZIPPER??
|
|
|

Does any one know of a CP/M program that un-zips MS-DOS files?
|
|
My main interest is reading the many Zipped text files on the boards around
|
|
town.
|
|
Also, a C-128 native mode un-zipper would be even nicer, but I doubt that
|
|
one will ever come out.

to ANDY SHAPIRO re: R/REPLACEMENT MOTHERS?
|
|
|
|
DON'T try putting an eight-slot replacement motherboard into a five-
|
|
slot PC! I did and I may regret it when I get the nerve to try the
|
|
motherboard back into my eight-slot clone.
|
|
I took my old 4.77 MHz clone motherboard (8-slot) and tried to use it
|
|
to replace the motherboard in my friend's 5-slot IBM PC. The physical
|
|
fit was very poor, but we shoehorned it in and plugged in the other
|
|
boards (multi-function, CGA, etc.) and fired it up. The board, taken
|
|
out of service while still working, did nothing apparent; the cursor did
|
|
a weird dance and disappeared.
|
|
When we put his old motherboard back and restored the daughter cards,
|
|
it turned out we'd blown his serial port in some way (prolly one of the
|
|
1488/1489 chips but haven't looked yet). I loaned him my old multi-
|
|
function card and he's back to normal so far.
|
|
As I mentioned, I haven't tried the clone board again since; but I
|
|
suspect that when I do, it won't work.

to KEVIN KEYSER re: R/CP/M UN-ZIPPER??
|
|
|
|
I'm not aware of one, though Phil Katz released the algorithms (but not
|
|
source) for the compression. Whether a CP/M version is even possible
|
|
would depend on the size of the data tables used; if they're greater
|
|
than 64K, forget it (if they're ALMOST 64K, then the C-128 native mode
|
|
version would be more practical, as you could put the data tables in
|
|
one segment and the code in another, or possibly buffer the tables into
|
|
RAM disk, with some loss of speed).

There's a CP/M program that will get you DIRECTORIES of ZIP files;
|
|
available on the ZNODEs in town. Also, there has been some word that
|
|
the ZIP algorithm isn't all that different from that for .ARC files.
|

I would expect to see a CP/M zipper of one sort or another arrive
|

within a month or two.

Thank's for the info, Eric. I do have a C-128 native MS/DOS de-arcer

So I am sure that a native mode unzipper IS possible, if unlikely.

Must I really write you a letter saying that we don't have any
|
|
EGA memory expansion boards lying around? They are still available
|
|
from "parts" (303) 924-4015, but you could buy a "clone" EGA for
|
|
cheaper than buying the memory as repair parts from IBM.
|
|
If you insist, I'll draft this in a formal "from IBM" letter.

P.S. if you're a different John Lin, "excuse me".
