|
|
Ward,
|
|
Thank you for the kind replies to all my questions. I saw several
|
|
good references to you in "Master Guide to Free Software" by Glossbrenner.
|
|
This is a good book for its historical notes and perspective on the best
|
|
of shareware.
|
|
Echo mail is a system BBS linked for the purpose of relaying E-mail. Sort
|
|
of a primative informal and slower EasyPlex. CIS is obviously more r
|
|
reliable but the potentioal of a user-supported E-mail system shouldn't
|
|
be discounted yet. I have hopes that having consumed Source, CIS might
|
|
see the wisdom of reducing rates to encourage new customers. Perhaps it
|
|
doesn't work that way. While on the subject, when does Prodigy arrive in
|
|
Chicago?
|
|
I am a missionary to Pakistan. The possibility of international E-mail is
|
|
of real interest to me. Phone calls run $10 per min FROM Pakistan to USA.
|
|
Any cheaper methods would really help.
|
|
Apparently ProComm announces that it (ProComm) has logged on CBBS. Sure
|
|
faked me out.
|
|
Now I begin the process of looking for DeskJet Plus drivers for the software
|
|
that I use.Thank you.

I wouldn't be surprised to find continuous form transparencies (ie rolls. But
|
|
my DeskJet wouldn't "eat" the stuff. The plastic for use in photocopiers costs
|
|
about $1 per sheet and is not re-usable. Actually, I wish I could get a used 2
|
|
pin HP or IBM plotter for cheap. Then I would use "washable" pens and reuse the
|
|
plastic. I'm a teacher and would go through over 400 sheets each year. I may go
|
|
with the photocopier on things that I could use next year.

A buck a sheet? Jeez.
|
|
I found this stuff @ Jacobson's (and Indiana office supplies dealer) for
|
|
~$15.00 for 50 sheets. You are buying your stuff at the wrong place. Try Arveys.

Ward- Sorry to tell you tthis, but I got a COVOX SPEECH KEY MASTER. I just
|
|
thought Id tell you what it does, and maybe it might help you. First, you put
|
|
it in `PROGRAMMING' mode. Next, you say a word into the operator like
|
|
microphone/headphone thing, then you type what the word means in computer
|
|
language. The MACRO is saved on disk, in memory, etc.. When you want to do
|
|
something the MACRO can do, just say the word. It works (so far) on
|
|
Sierra-On-Line Games, SmartCom ][, Lotus 1-2-3, multimate Advantage ][, Norton
|
|
Disk Utilities, DOS 4.01,
|
|
Atari games for the IBM PC, and many, many, more. In fact, I am using The
|
|

to ALL re: HD HELP
|
|
|
|
Just installed another 40 meg Miniscribe 3650 HD in my XT clone. Got the wires
|
|
and all correct but the DiskManager wouldn't format them properly so went out
|
|
and got DOS 4.01 which did the job great! I didn't load the SHELL which seems
|
|
to be half the cost and "manual".
|
|
My problem is: I am not sure of the values to use when doing a low level
|
|
format with DEBUG. I guessed at the "write precomp cylinder" using 128 (maybe
|
|
"0" for miniscribe?). I also used the default correctable error burst length
|
|
AND CCB option byte step rate (5).
|
|
Does anyone know for sure the Write Precomp Cylinder value to use? I will
|
|
probably spend a lot of time on the phone trying to find this out. The drives
|
|
seem to run well using that "128" value I used but haven't tested the sys yet
|
|
(not restored yet) to see if it is good enough.
|
|
Really.... not bad for a FIRST time format like this!
