to JIM JOYCE re: R/BOOT-UP PROBLEM
|
|
|
|
You've received quite some replies! . I had a similar problem early on when
|
|
attempting to upgrade my DOS. My immediate reaction was the same as yours:
|
|
Copying the two "hidden" files and COMMAND.COM onto C:. But this can royally
|
|
muck things up. Problem is, the hidden files must be the FIRST two files
|
|
placed on the HD or they'll never be found. At this point, there's a good
|
|
chance your friend will have to back up all files, then erase all files on
|
|
the HD, and finally copy them back in EXACTLY the right order (IO.SYS before
|
|
MSDOS.SYS if your friend is running MS-DOS, else the equivalent files). It's
|
|
best to use the SYS command to do this to ensure all is automatically done
|
|
corretly.If THAT doesn't solve it, it could be a drive (or controller or
|
|
cable) problem. I've also had a HD which just became too slow to boot in a
|
|
sufficiently timely way, so the operating system considered it "unavailable"
|
|
at boot time, but available a few seconds later-which would yield the same
|
|
symptoms. Finally, I've had a cable which was just loose enough to result
|
|
in the same thing. So, if SYSing (you might as well reformat before that
|
|
with the procedures others have outlined for safe measure in case something
|
|
became trashed, and to eliminate more variables), then I'd suggest swapping
|
|
one item at a time-cable, HD, and controller board-to see which is the
|
|
source of the problem. (Of course, ensure all swapped parts are compatible
|
|
with each other!) Good luck.

|
|
|
|
Thanks for the info. Actually, an IBM person gave me some
|
|
literature about a new Micropolis drive that runs 1.2 GBytes!
|
|
Anyway, the problem with the RT that we looked at was that,
|
|
as I recall now, you had to partition the UNIX file system
|
|
into 'minidisks,' so the largest single file you could have
|
|
could not exceed a minidisk in size - and since the largest
|
|
stcck drive was 320M, that wasn't big enough (complain,
|
|
complain). Anyway, I probably won't contack Randy, since I'm
|
|
only going to be in Chicago for another 10 days (actually leave
|
|
on the 28th, but I'm spending a week in Utah first).
|
|
.
|
|
I also wanted to thank you for all the help and entertainment
|
|
over the years. I first logged onto CBBS more than five years
|
|
ago, so I have some feeling for the critter. I've got a great
|
|
deal of good advice over the years. I hope that you manage to
|
|
keep this board functioning for a loooong time.!

Try VDE as a text editor. Limits you to 64K or so files, but it's
|
|
small and fast. For text handling, there's always ROFF4. Both of
|
|
these programs started out in CP/M, but MS-DOS versions are available.
|
|
I'd never heard of the hardram, but it sounds like a real good idea.
|
|
I use a little CP/M laptop (Epson Geneva) and it's slow, but with
|
|
TINY CP/M programs. loading is quick. I use a version of VDE that's
|
|
around 11K, no text formatter, though, as I don't output to a printer
|
|
from the laptop. Check out VDE anyway - great little editor!

t WARD CHRISTENSEN re: XMODEM PROTOCOL
|
|
|
|
I need a discription of the XMODEM protocol so that I can use it
|
|
in a data acquisition system that I am working on. Is the protocol
|
|
public domain? Does such a description exist? Please call me (Mark
|

to ALL re: NEED HELP WITH MIDI
|
|
|
|
I recently purchased a MIDIator interface for my PS/2 and Rolland S-10
|
|
Synth. I encountered a problem when sending multiple sequencer tracks
|
|
to the S-10 during playback of a song. The problem is that some notes
|
|
cut others off. I ran the Midi Monitor program and traced the problem
|
|
to the fact that the S-10 sends an "all-notes-off" command whenever all
|
|
the notes are released. Apparently, the sequencer records this command
|
|
and sends it back to the synth; this causes all notes to be turned off
|
|
at that instant, regardless of what "track" they came from. Is there any
|
|
way to defeat the sending of the "all-notes-off" code?
|
|
dup. chars.
