Okay, I have a few (ha!) questions for you guys ( oops... no more 'Women
on the net???' flames --- I ment folks :-) on the net.
Here goes:
1. Can you have tomp@pro-party.cts.com (Tom Pierce) (08/13/89)
Okay, I've got a few questions for you folks on the net. (Tamara- notice
the change!)
Here goes:
1. Can you have 2 Apple SCSI cards hooked up to 1 drive, or can
you only do that with CMS cards?
2. Can you have one computer on and one off?
3. Can you boot them both off of the drive at the same time?
4. If both cards try to read/write at the same time do the 'jobs'
get 'spooled'?
5. Is it the Apple CARDS or DRIVES that have to be powered up for
thirty seconds before the cpu?? Bob Lindabury wrote that "the
Apple SCSI "**"drive"**" requires that you have the drive
powered up for 30 seconds before the computer." [ stuff about
ProLine reboot zapped. ] If the power went out & came back on
"with the Apple "**"card"**" it'd be stuck" until somebody came
in to fix it. See, once he says drive & once he says card, Bob
(or ANYBODY) please straiten me out!! (not direct quotes-but
close)
6. ProLine!! Gimme a list of 'em!! The ones in New Jersey (where
I am), Pensylvania, and New York would be best, but others in
the north-east would be great too! Especially if they get this
list!!! ( This is a tad urgent, the proline I'm on now is in
TEXAS -- llllooooonnnggg distance )
7. How do you use (or subscribe to :-) Telenet???
thanks in advance for any & all replies

>how do you do a warm re-boot of proline with an Apple SCSI? (more or less)
I do it all the time. Just write a short BASIC boot program the boots from a
different drive (I can't imagine the hd being the only drive on the system)
that speicifically verifies the existence of the proline startup program on
the drive and slot upon which it normally resides. Use and ONERR statement to
direct logic to reboot from the same secondary drive, by which time the SCSI
would certainly be up to speed. If the startup program is found, then reboot
from the SCSI drive. I have been doing this for 6 months, and find that
usually by the time ProDOS is to the point of polling the devices to wee what
is around my Seagate 277n drive is up to speed, and gets recognized...it
certainly does not take 30 seconds. But sometimes, it is not, and I get a
second boot, by then all is ok. What is nice about this setup is that it will
reboot an infinite number of times, so the only circumstance that woulc put
your BBS down is the one in which the SCSI drive got mangled.dlyons@Apple.COM (David Lyons) (08/15/89)

See, once he says drive & once he says card, Bob > (or ANYBODY) please straiten me out!! (not direct quotes-but > close) It's the Apple SCSI card that requires any drives connected to it (whether they're Apple drives or not) to be ready when it checks for them when the card is powered up. If a drive isn't there to say Hello when the card first looks, the card doesn't know the drive exists. --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.

Does anyone out there have or know of where to get these possible items for the Apple //c, if they exist: 1. Is there any program that would be able to emulate the UUCP protocol and be able to call into a Unix machine and retrieve and read mail? 2. Any type of documentation for the Hyperr-C disks that I downloaded recently from 'husc6.harvard.edu'? 3. Any sort of public-domain implementation of the game Tetris? Please mail directly to this address: <arkie%m-net@itivax.iti.org>. Thanks in advance. - Joe

This request is posted for whoever at 'husc6.harvard.edu' can answer the following questions; 1) Does the previous post refer to the Shareware HyperC previously posted to the Net, or the ProDOS Version??? 2) Is disk 2 (are there more?? 3? 4? etc?) part of the package??? 3) How can I access the files (I don't have Anon ftp)??? 4) Could the available files be posted to 'comp.binaries.apple2'??? (not necessary if only disk 1 of the Shareware HyperC is there, however others might like to see it since the first posting was sent out over 'comp.sys.apple' and not the binaries newsgroup) Thanks in advance for any info that can be provided... -- ------------------------------------------------+--------------------- Maybe I shouldn't have done it, sarcasm is so | Joseph G.
