Be careful of that Prodigy modem - while it IS a Hayes, it doesn't have
|
|
all the programmable registers (such as time to wait for carrier) that
|
|
a "real" (or maybe I should say "full") Hayes modem has.
|
|
Also, people have noticed more line noise with the "personal" Hayes
|
|
modems than with the more expensive ones. A call to customer support
|
|
got a "What do you expect?" type of answer.
|
|
P.S. are you sure it is not $149 for the modem? - though I keep hearing
|
|
different prices for different things - I thought it was $49 a year,
|
|
but that turned out to be 6 months - $90 for a year - not bad, considering
|
|
the unlimited usage.

I just threw out an old typewriter that was bad. Guess a "ball" type
|
|
will be best for "looks". Really only want it for labels. With a
|
|
24 pin I can do forms etc on the printer but those labels get to
|
|
me. Easy way to break a printer, changing the paper stock all
|
|
the time, especially with labels. Getting one stuck in an Epson

is a bummer! I just think how much it will cost to get it out if

Richard, Don't know if you've seen the Oct. 9th Infoworld. On pg. 51 in Jerry
|
|
Pournelle's column he discusses the new Smart Label Printer from Seiko. It is
|
|
the size of a small telephone, holds labels all the time, has a special cable
|
|
so that you can hook both it and your printer to the same port and has TSR
|
|
software so that you write your letter, hit the hotkey, move a box that
|
|
appears on screen over the address, hit a key and out pops oyur label. It will
|
|
also generate bar codes.
|
|
Sounds like the thing for me .... If the price is right.

Sorry to hear about all your troubles w/ Disk Manager!! I must say
|
|
I'm a little surprised, as I've been using DM on several systems
|
|
over the past couple yrs. First on a basic Miniscribe 40meg MFM
|
|
drive, then a Miniscribe 110meg ESDI, and never a problem with
|
|
COMPRESS, CHKDSK, or any other program. I'm using PCTools v 5.?--
|
|
I know it's not 5.5. Do you suppose it's the SCSI interface??,
|
|
or perhaps the size of the drive?? Hmmm....... Oh, well, I'll
|
|
not propagandize for OnTrak--they're certainly not perfect, and
|
|
they charge an arm and a leg for data recovery services. I will
|
|
however, put in a potshot at DOS 4.x--I work for a software
|
|
company, and we've had trouble first with bugs in 4.0, and now
|
|
just with the size of 4.01.....it takes up enough RAM that our
|
|
admittedly RAM-hungry graphics app. often can't fit in available
|
|
memory!! I've been advising users w/ serious RAM cram to go
|
|
back to 3.3!!

Hi, you guys....
|
|
Have you ever heard about a disk drive called

Computer Memories Inc. model CM 6640 ??
|
|
My problem is that I cannot low-level format this drive on

|
my computer unless I can determine the number of cyl's and
|
|
heads!! Probably it is a 30MB drive, but I'm not sure.
|
|
I guess I've tried almost every drive type number between 1 and 40!

Just installed my XT into a baby upright. Looks real neat. The
|
|
problems encountered were a different power supply ($) and locating
|
|
the reset jumper on the board (still haven't found it FOR SURE). Have
|
|
to call about that jumper.
|
|
I have to look if I can "hang" a 5 1/2 in HD inside if need be. There
|
|
is a slot for a 3 1/2 and a 1/4 height floppy yet. Only 2 5 1/2
|
|
in drives is a bummer for an XT. The part I like is I set the LED at
|
|
22 so it looks good!Who needs to change turbo from 4 to 8, just
|
|
leave it at 8. The supply and drive hum real nice.
|
|
The black face plates look O.K. on top of this case. The
|
|
real drawback is I now have the monitor closer and it is driving
|
|
me bananas. HAVE to rearrange this.
