Subject: TRS-80 Model III Disk Format
There is a program called Supercross for the model 3/4 that converts
data on a Model3/4 to msdos format. The entire operation occurs on
the model3/4. A quick pass through any Tandy support mag,
(80-Micro) should reveal the manufacturer.

You can use the Turbo Graphix Toolbox with the standard
Turbo 3.0 to obtain the 132 column format. It will not be
terribly fast but will get the job done.

Subject: UNIX Clone With Source Code Available
Date: 22 Dec 86 09:33:07 GMT
Organization: VU Informatica, Amsterdam
I have recently finished rewriting UNIX from scratch. This system, called
MINIX, does not contain even a single line of AT&T code, so it can be
distributed with source code. It runs on the IBM PC, XT, and AT and
those clones that are 100% hardware compatible (not all, unfortunately).
To the average, unsophisticated user, using MINIX is indistinguishable
from using V7 UNIX. Experts will notice that some relatively less
commonly used programs and features are missing.
MINIX FEATURES:
- System call compatible with V7 UNIX (except for a couple of minor calls)
- Kernighan and Ritchie compatible C compiler is included
- Shell that is functionally identical to the Bourne shell is included
- Full multiprogramming (fork+exec; background jobs in shell: cc file.c & )
- Full screen editor vaguely inspired by emacs (modeless, autoinsert, etc.)
- Over 60 utilities (cat, cp, grep, ls, make, mount, sort, etc.)
- Over 100 library procedures (atoi, fork, malloc, stdio, strcmp, etc.)
- Supports a hard disk, but also works quite well with just floppies
- Contains programs to read and write MS-DOS diskettes
- Full operating system source code is included
- Source code for all the utilities (except C compiler) is included
- System will recompile itself (requires 640K and 2 floppies or 1 hard disk)
- C compiler source is available as a separate package
- Kernel organization radically different from UNIX and much more modular
- Software is not copy protected
Furthermore, I have written a 719 page book telling you everything
you ever wanted to know about operating systems in general and this
one in particular. The book contains the manual pages, an appendix
describing how to recompile the system from the sources supplied, a
full source code listing of the operating system (253 pages), and a
cross reference map.
The software is available in 4 packages (book is separate):
- Box of eight 360K diskettes for 640K IBM PCs (512K is sort of ok too)
- Box of eight 360K diskettes for 256K IBM PCs (no C compiler)
- Box of five 1.2M diskettes for the IBM PC-AT
- 9 track industry standard tape (1600 bpi, tar format)
All four distributions contain the full source code, about 54,000 lines,
(kernel + utilities, except the compiler), virtually all of it in C. The
source code for the C compiler is also available separately (as described
in the book). The C compiler is NOT based on pcc at all. It is based on
ACK (see Communications of the ACM, Sept. 1983, pp. 654-660). The following
programs are included, among others. Like the kernel, these have all been
rewritten from scratch by me, my students, people I paid to write them or in
a small number of cases, were donated by other people to whom I am grateful:
ar basename cat cc chmod chown cmp comm cp date dd df dosread echo
grep gres head kill ln login lpr ls make mkdir mkfs mknod mount mv
od passwd pr pwd rev rm rmdir roff sh shar size sleep sort split stty
su sum sync tail tar tee time touch tr true umount uniq update wc
The book and software are being sold by Prentice-Hall. They are NOT
public domain. However, the publisher does not object to people making a
limited number of copies of the software for noncommercial use. For
example professors may make copies of the software for their students.
Universities may exchange modified versions. You may make a few copies
for your friends etc. If you want to port the software to other CPUs and
sell it, you need permission from Prentice-Hall, but they will not be
unreasonable. To acquire the software, go to any bookstore and ask them
to order the book for you:
Title: Operating Systems: Design and Implementation
Author: Andrew S. Tanenbaum
Publisher: Prentice-Hall (Jan. 1987)
ISBN: 0-13-637406-9
In the book you will find a postcard that you can use to order the
software. Please don't ask me for the software. I have already spent
approximately 8000 hours over the past 5 years writing it; I don't want
to spend the next 5 years duplicating floppy disks. The book costs about
$35. The software is $79.95 per set, including the source code. I hope
most people will consider $79.95 for the binaries and sources of
something almost functionally equivalent to UNIX as being reasonable. I
know of no other software package where you get 54,000 lines of source
code for this price. As bugs are reported, I will send Prentice Hall new
disks, so that the version they sell will remain up to date. (This also
provides some incentive to buy rather than copy.)
For those of you going to USENIX or UNIFORUM in Washington, D.C.
January 20-23, Prentice-Hall will have a stand at the show where you can
play with the software. You can also buy the stuff there, but since the P-H
people drive to Washington in their own cars, they have a limited carrying
capacity and they are only taking 50 copies, so get there early the first day.
If anyone is interested, we could set up a newsgroup
comp.os.minix to discuss minix, report bug fixes, distribute updates
of individual files etc. This letter is being multiply posted to
several newsgroups. I propose that the initial discussion take place
in comp.sys.ibm.pc (subject: MINIX) to avoid having it spread all
over the place. Besides, the only other newsgroup I read is
mod.recipes. I don't think the moderator will go for floppy disk
with Hollandaise sauce.

Subject: Cluster Allocation Size
Recently, I read some queries on the necessary allocation size for
clusters.
DOS 2.xx knows FAT entries of 12 bits length. This means that
one can not have more than 4096-8-2 = 4086 clusters, no matter
what the disk can hold. For 30 MB disks this means that a cluster
must be at least 8 KB large. There is no software solution to this
problem and there cannot be such a solution.
DOS 3.xx however knows 16 bit FAT entries, if you do a low level
format of the disk, run FDISK and FORMAT (all under DOS 3.xx).
This means that the cluster size might be as small as 512 bytes
for a 30 MB disk. For reasons of more efficient access (I think)
the cluster size under DOS 3.xx is usually not smaller than 2 KB.
If the disk is properly formatted one gets the 2 KB clusters. This
might help to solve the space problems some users have.

Subject: Cheap Relational Database
I can highly recommend Paberback Software's VP-Info, which is a
dBASE II "clone" with a host of added commands and features that
even dBASE III doesn't have. It lets you have up to 6 database files
open, with multiple parent/child relationships.
Although it retails for $99, you can get it for about $65 through a
mail order dealer.

Subject: Cheap Relational Database
> Vol 5 Issue 108
> Matthew Saroff:
You might try the PC-RIM (Relational Information Manager), which
is available from the SIMTEL20 database. The files are:
PD:<MSDOS.DATABASE>PCRIMDOC.ARC.1
PD:<MSDOS.DATABASE>PCRIMEXE.ARC.1
PD:<MSDOS.DATABASE>PCRIMHLP.ARC.1
PD:<MSDOS.DATABASE>PCRIMSRC.ARC.1 (source, FORTRAN !)
The program is public domain and works well, but is rather slow on a
PC/XT. An AT would be better.

Subject: Procomm Can't Handle XON/XOFF At 9600 Baud
I've never used Procomm, but I've used a couple of other communications
programs at 9600 baud and have found that sometimes lost characters can
be caused by memory-resident utilities. I know, it shouldn't make a
difference if the handshaking is working properly, but the fact is that
if I have the Backscrl program installed while using Kermit, it drops
characters at 9600 baud. Get rid of Backscrl and all is OK. So get rid
of all your TSR's before blaming the communications program.

Subject: PHASER/Halo and EGA
Organization: Gaia Corp, Boulder, CO
If PHASER (whatever that is) uses the Halo graphic package, or at least
older versions of that (I am not sure this has not been fixed), it will
not work on the IBM EGA, and probably many clones. The reason is that
HALO initializes all of the 6845 graphic controller chip registers when
it goes into CGA graphics modes. Unfortunately, the IBM EGA doesn't
have a 6845, and the custom logic it does have only emulates some of
the 6845 registers; others are redefined. Generally, any program which
sets all 6845 registers (it thinks) on the EGA will manage to badly
scramble some EGA register and mess up the screen. If you find a loop
in the code, via disassembly, where it sets lots of registers at i/o
address 3DX, you may be able to patch it out. Good luck. Supposedly a
few of the EGA clones "automatically detect when a program accesses it
as a CGA and switch to a full CGA emulation". Paradise is one.

Subject: LPT3 Support Without LPT2
> I would like to configure a second parallel port in my PC AT as

The IBM PC-BIOS does not use interrupts to support the parallel
printer port, and the word is that implementations that do,
suffer from losing interrupts.

You might try the following to get the system to recognize LPT3:
without configuring LPT2:
Presumably, you know what the actual address of you printer is
(usually for LPT3: it is normally 03BCh). Place this value in
memory location 0:40C. This tells the BIOS where LPT3 is.
Next, initialize the port by calling the BIOS printer initialize
function. You may then use LPT3 through the regular DOS calls.
In particular, the following DEBUG session will do it all:
C>debug
-e 0:40c bc 03
-a100
????:0100 mov ah,1
????:0102 mov dx,2
????:0105 int 17
????:0107 int 20
????:0109
-g
-q
C>
Note that the "????" will be replaced by some hex value, which
isn't really significant for this stuff.

There are sources of 'sidecars' around but you would be a lot
better of going with the upper limit (640k) offered by either
racore or quadram (same unit, different brands). I have this setup
and I like it. It includes a second disk drive, second parallel port
(for a total of two if you already have one), 640k, etc. It seems
like a good system but one feels a little taken when one wants to add
a hard drive to the setup and finds his system only supports racore hard
drives that are priced right out of the hard drive ceiling. I was
under the impression that PcJr owners were conservative investors.

There are side car memory expansions available from IBM still--but
third party expansions are better! The side cars require and
additional power supply and then you also would be needing more
than one to get a full 640k. The expansion I installed was
"internal" memory to 640k, no power supply, AST clock and an
increase of computer speed by two-fold for only $150. If you are
interested, I can find the name of the company I bought it from.

With regard to PCJr expansion, IBM is having a big sale on memory
expansion and software/hardware for the Jr. I don't need more memory
myself, but I am getting accessories such as a joystick and serial
adaptor cables at quite low prices. Check with IBM, but do
it quickly because the sale ends 31 December.
TECMAR makes a sidecar multifunction board with clock/calendar, 128K
and a parallel port called the JrCaptain. They also have boards for
more memory expansion. I saw it advertised by 47th St. Photo in PC World
a couple of months back - I don't know if they still carry it. You
could also check with TECMAR themselves.
RACORE put out an expansion unit for the junior consisting of a second
360K floppy disk drive and a board with 128K and slots for another 256K.
I put it together in about 15 minutes and put in chips that I got mail
order. It has been running without any troubles at all. I got it
at a department store that was closing out it's computer store so I
don't know if it is still made. It may be in the mail order ads or
you may have to go directly to Racore.

Subject: Need Help re Data Xfer from CPT 8000
Hello, netland. I need some bright ideas concerning a tricky data
communications problem. An associate of mine has been doing his word
processing work for many years on a dedicated word processor, a CPT
8000 with 2 8-inch floppy drives and a CPT Rotary VIII daisy wheel
printer (40 cps, actually just a Ricoh printer with a CPT nameplate,
I think). Now he wants to convert to a PC-based system, but
transferring the data from the CPT to the PC will be a problem.
Never mind the CPT data format -- translation programs can be written
for the PC. The problem is the hardware link. CPT dealers
apparently want about $1000 for the serial card and comm software to
transfer CPT data files RS-232C/ASCII style down the line to a
receptive device (e.g., a serial port on a PC). I think that's an
outrageous price for a simple card and a dumb terminal program. I
was trying to think of some other way to make the transfer without
paying the $1000, and all I can think of is somehow using the 50-pin
printer cable coming out of the CPT to route the data to the PC. I
was thinking this would need a parallel-to- serial converter, but it
struck me that "parallel" usually means Centronics 37-pin parallel.
Do 50-pin parallel-to-serial converters exist? Is this a totally
bass-ackwards attempt to make this transfer? Is spending a $1000 the
only way to solve this problem? Will Mary leave John for an affair
with the priest? Tune in next week... Seriously, any advice would
be greatly appreciated. Please send replies directly to me.
Thanks!!

Subject: Where is Phil Burns Author of PIBTERM
The latest INFO_IBM DIGEST spoke about people having trouble locating
Phil Burns, the author of PIBTERM. I sent him a check in June, and
have never heard from him (no, he didn't cash the check..) Is there
a good address where I can reach him??

Subject: DBASEIII problem
Did anyone ever encountered a problem like this one. We are running version
1.1, under DOS version 2.0, using Zenith 248, and is experiencing problems
entering data in a database with 27 fieldnames. Every now and then, I cannot
go further down the rest of the fields, I get stuck after entering data in the
21st field. The thing is it is not consistent. I can go ahead and enter data
in the next few records without any problem, then the problem will just happen
again. Any solution that you can recommend? Or is this really a software
problem? Also, is there another number to call DBASE other that the numbers
on the reference guides that are always busy?

I am interested in learning about people's experiences with using either the
Wollongong TCP/IP software or the Network Research Corp's Fusion product for
TCP/IP on an IBM PC-AT. Experiences with other networking software for the
AT/XENIX environment are also appreciated. In particular, comments on these
product supporting ports of UNIX network applications to the AT/XENIX
environment would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I am looking for information regarding a digitizer produced by
Mitsubishi. All that I know is that they make one. Any and all
information about the product would be appreciated.
I would like to know what it costs (obviosuly). I would like to know
if it requires any special software or hardware (other than itself) to
run on the PC. Also, I am interested in attaching this to a PC clone
(specifically, the "Standard PC") - is it possible?
Thanks in advance for any information.

A few questions...
1) Does anyone out there run PC/IX on their PC? If so, what is your
opinion of it? Is it a good implimentation of UNIX? What are its
deficiencies? What kind of system performance can I expect (I have a
standard IBM PC)? How much of the hard-disk does it take and can DOS
co-exist with it on the same disk? Will it support running DOS
programs?
2) Have any of you using PC/IX (if there are any such people) attempted
to install it on a hard-card (any brand)? Are there any compability
problems?
3) Does anyone have the program PC/VI, a supposedly *true*
implimentation of UNIX VI, made by Custom Software Solutions? It runs
under MS/PC-DOS. What do you think of it?
