Sounds interesting! I just spent $725 for a 640K T1000 + 768K Ram card -
|
|
it is a VERY nice laptop, at about 6 pounds!
|
|
The drawbacks are that the display is "very scrunched" so that the aspect
|
|
ratio is pretty bad (hard to play Nyet, heh heh), and that the processor is
|
|
only 4.77mhz, but it is not hard to limit it to, say, editing applications
|
|
that don't need more power.
|
|
What are the characteristics of this "bargain basement" Sharp laptop?
|
|
(other than 256K and one drive). Is the drive standard 720K? 4.77MHz
|
|
processor? Dos 2.1? Others may be curious too.

Boy, I'm QUITE sure Prodigy is NOTHING like Compuserve! I think it is
|
|
a shopping and information access system.
|
|
For one thing, it uses proprietary software to access it (not surprising
|
|
nor unbearable, for I believe it is VERY graphics oriented.
|
|
As an IBM employee, I get to try it free for 3 months, and even buy a
|
|
2400 Hayes modem for $149. I got to see one, and it is "really funny",
|
|
just a "power plug" smaller than the power supply for a "real" Hayes 2400,
|
|
and 2 wires - one for RS-232 the other for the phone line! But it works,
|
|
though its small size (more likely, the small price) preclude having a
|
|
speaker, so you're blind dialing - not "too bad" for a special-purpose
|
|
setup.
|
|
One thing though, they tell you that the modem only works with Prodigy,
|
|
but I found it compatible, and I think the sales people are just too naive
|
|
to know they should say "the software provided is Prodigy-specific but
|
|
industry standard software will work".

Ya, the 9600's are still out. Uh, actually, they're "lost". We have no
|
|
idea where they are. Doing a UPS trace on 'em now. I doubt Randy insured
|
|
them when mailing them, so they may be gone forever.

Heh heh, this software isn't "elegant", but it IS "a hack with lots of
|
|
strange bells and whistles", ;-)
|
|
No, I don't "log onto any particular BBS of note". Just here, Chinet
|
|
(co-founder Randy Suess' big Unix board), Compuserve, and Gene Plantz'
|
|
board provide 99% of the time I call.

|
|
|
|
Please call me "Ward", not "zsysop" or "sysop". I never liked "CB-like
|
|
handles".
|
|
I have NO idea why you cannot backspace, since CBBS has had backspace
|
|
capability which has worked perfectly for over 10 years.
|
|
You must have a key you THINK is backspace, which is in fact NOT sending
|
|
an ASCII backspace (which is a hex or decimal 8, or "control-H").
|
|
You also said "I cannot insert into a line of text also, please explain".
|
|
Well, I can't imagine what you mean. I know of NO systems that allow
|
|
inserting "in a line" - except THIS ONE. Look up the FULL command - type
|
|
HELP FULL. It is a full LINE (not full "screen") editor, and supports
|
|
Word-Star like editing commands. It has a crude "insert", but it operates
|
|
by inserting a single space, not by going "into an insert mode". I use
|
|
it ALL the time, and couldn't get along without it (or at least wouldn't
|
|
want to).
|
|
Hope this clears things up. (Hope there IS a "help full"!)

We are in the process of purchasing a Macintosh system to consist of
|
|
a Mac IIcx, MAC SE/30 and MAC SE with 2 large mono screens. So far, the
|
|
17" E-Machine screen looks like the best bet. Any experience/though or
|
|
comments on Mac large mono monitors would be appreciated. Thaniks

You want to know about the Sharp 4501? Well okay, it is a 80188 CPU
|
|
running 4.77 and 7.14. Yes it comes with a 3 1/2 720K disk drive and
|
|
has room for another drive at a price of $150. To expand it to 640K
|
|
total cost is $140. Two other features that would be nice is a $89
|
|
COMM Port and a $200 CRT adapter. I got all except the CRT adapter.
|
|
Which I would like to get sometime in the future.
|
|
|
|
I herad laptops with LCD screens don't usually run CGA graphics
|
|
correctly. Radio Shack laptops I heard are bad for this. But this one
|
|
runs everything I throw at it. It runs all 256K min software, some
|
|
don't. So far I think it is great. I haven't recieved the extra RAM
|
|
or the extra drive, but I was in there for the serial (COMM) install-
|
|
ation. Everything is real easy to install. If you use a screw driver
|
|
you should do fine. The battery is a small lead acid 6 volt cell. So
|
|
it runs about 10 hours without upgrades.
|
|
|
|
The bad news is though I was told by Bill K on CFOG II that he checked
|
|
into the same model awhile ago and he heard SHARP was dropping the
|
|
models because of some defect. He didn't remember what it was. So I
|
|
guess anything could happen to mine, but so far so good. I got a
|
|
year warranty and used my American Express card, so that
|
|
means really two years right?
|
|
|
|
If anyone needs more info, I'll be glad to send it.

Oh yea, the book said MS-DOS 2.11, but I got MS-DOS 3.21. I tried
|
|
IBM-DOS 3.3 and it worked fine too. I have used both VDISK.SYS and
|
|
RAMDRIVE.SYS and they work fine too. {f you don't have a hard
|
|
disk then my feeling is use a RAMDRIVE if you can.
