I am interested in a patch to DOS 2.xx and 3.xx to give a much larger type-ahead buffer. The number (<20) at present is very small and I would like to set it to 64 or 80. (I use mainframes with 64 and manage to use that up sometimes...) This is surely a simple zap to dos that someone has already done 5 years ago that I missed... Thanks in advance... t.jones

There is a public domain program called kbbuff.com that works great!!! I can't use my PC without it... If you want it, dial your local bulletin board. If you can't find it on any bulletin boards I can mail it to you. Charlie (KB6IXF)

I tried a couple of those, and they broke sidekick. Is there something wrong with my sidekick, or the DG-1 BIOS, or the programs? If anyone else has had and solved this problem I'd appreciate a few hints. -- Peter da Silva (the mad Australian) UUCP: ...!shell!neuro1!{hyd-ptd,baylor,datafac}!peter MCI: PDASILVA; CIS: 70216,1076

If anyone else has had >and solved this problem I'd appreciate a few hints. I am currently using KBFIX2.COM, which is available of alot of BBS systems. If you can't find it on a BBS near you, give (608) 273-5037 a call, 6pm to 8am M-F CDT, all day on weekends. Leave me, the SYSOP, a comment containing the information needed in bulletin 1 and I will allow you to download the file. The information (phone numner) is required the first time any new user calls, before file transfer is allowed. I have been using KBFIX2 with both versions of Sidekick, the newest because of the AST give-away, without any trouble. -- Mr. Video {seismo!uwvax!|!decvax|!ihnp4}!nicmad!brown
