uucp@ucbvax.ARPA (UNIX Copy) (10/12/85)
We are presently looking at memory expansion cards for the AT, and
have come across several advertisements for a particular card from
a company called "Apparat" in Denver. In the September issue of _BYTE_,
they show a board with 3 Meg capability + 1 serial and 1 parallel
port for only $299. We are interested in this product (especially
at the price!) but have not heard anything about this company's
quality or reputaion, and would like to hear any comments anyone may
have, including competitive alternatives.
Please _mail_ any responses, as we do not currently receive any news-
groups, this one included...
Which brings me to my next question: I have the 2.10.3 news source,
fetched from ~uucp on ucbvax, but have been having a fair amount of
trouble with it --- I managed to get postnews and inews to compile
and run after a fair amount of work, but readnews refuses to run.
It compiles okay, but when I go to run it, I get "readnews: killed"
every time. I used the large model (-Ml) compiler, with the default
stack size (4K). The machine currently has 512K memory, with 341K
left after the kernel. The only processes running at the time are
getty, cron, update, and my csh. Any suggestions? We'd love to be
able to get real news.
Thanks,
Jonathan Broome
