In the IBMPC digest of 28 Feb 91, Michael Bratrich writes: > Does anyone know how to reprogram the printerport for input? We like > to capture data send by a (non IBM) netmonitor via Centroncs-port with > a laptop. The printer port has the capability to output ONLY for the 8 data lines. However, there are four "status" lines that can be used for data acquisition. The BIOS service INT 17h Function 2 returns in register AH: (Note -- input DX=0 for LPT1) Bit 7 - Printer Not Busy. (pin 11 on DB25 connector) Bit 6 - Printer Acknowledge. (pin 10) Bit 5 - Out of Paper. (pin 12) Bit 3 - I/O Error (pin 15) However, the BIOS is too slow for many applications. For a speedier routine,you must read the status register of the printer port directly. Printer LPT1's status register is usually at address 0379h. Check your manual for details. Hope this helps, Chris Howe CHOWE@HAMPVMS.BITNET ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Mar 91 09:52:31 GMT From: Jacek Holeczek <HOLECZEK%PLKTUS11.BITNET@uga.cc.uga.edu> Subject: Translation vs Native modes in IDE drives Query Every Seagate HD drive comes with the "Installation Guide". I have seen many Seagate IDE drives and for some of them there are not any warnings against reformating (ST157A,ST138A,ST157A,...), but for the others there is a warning that reformating will "overwrite" some sectors where important informations about "magnetic surface" are stored, so it is better not to do this. (For the first type of drives you can even find an instruction in "Installation Guide" - how to reformat them using DISK MANAGER.) Many (or even all) of Seagate IDE drives have two modes of "work". Those modes define how the drive is recognized by the host computer. There are two modes - one called "Native" and one called "Translation". In native mode the host computer sees the "physical" geometry of the drive, and in translation mode it sees "translated" geometry of the drive. Here is an example : ST157A translation native sectors/track 17 26 read/write heads 7 6 cylinders 733 560 guaranteed sectors 87,227 87,360 Which one mode is better and why ? (I have met a guy who said that he had got better transmission speed in translated mode than in the native, but I do not understand this !) Bye,bye, Jacek Holeczek ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Mar 91 15:54:35 GMT From: salehh@jacobs.cs.orst.edu () Subject: Repair of DOS backup files Is there a utility that will repair damaged backup files? The files are ascii and were backedup under DOS 3.2 . The possible cause of the damage is that the machine the files were backedup from had floppy drives that were out of alignment. Thank you ! ------------------------------ Date: Fri Mar 15 09:29:32 1991 From: johnboyd@logdis1.oc.aflc.af.mil (John Boyd;CRENP) Subject: UUDECODE question I've run into a problem with a uuencoded file from the listserver@nodak. As a preface, let me say I've been doing this for a couple months, so I know how to get through the process OK, it's just a problem that's cropped up with the last couple big files I got. On INFOP145.ZIP I get the pieces OK, and strip out the 'spurious garbage' and then proceed to uudecode. The error message I get says 'end not found'. The DDs warn that files passing through Unix systems may incorrectly translate the CR/LF situation, but that it will really be OK. Well, it's *not*. I go ahead and run pkunzip -t, and it tells me that there is an error, and to use pkzipfix. I do that, and go ahead and extract the exe, and when I try to run that; *suprise*, DOS says 'error in exe file'. I have performed this sequence of file request,edit,decode,discard twice; so I feel certain that I've gotten past whatever might have been random problems. Some other files that I got at the same time and had to knit together were OK, so that's not the problem. I'm sure it's something minor, but the docs don't give a clue. Can anyone help me out here? Thanx!! -jb ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Mar 91 11:50:44 EST From: snoopy@charlot.pg.bull.fr (Francesco Iarlori) Subject: Windows 3.0 help !!!

It supports reception and transmission of amateur radio teletype signals. The interesting thing about it is, that it doesn't require an expensive modem. The audio output of the transceiver is connected to the serial port of any PC/XT/AT compatible computer thru a very simple and low-cost circuit. Only one IC is needed (Op-Amp LM741 or similar) and a few diodes, capacitors and resistors. For transmission the speaker output is connected to the microphone input of the transceiver thru a passive r/c filter. Audio frequency decoding and serial/parallel conversion is all done by the program. HamComm automatically detects the type of video adapter in use. MDA, CGA, EGA, VGA and Hercules are supported. All graphics routines are written in assembler for speed. No attempt has been made to avoid screen flicker (snow) on cheap CGAs. HamComm runs on XT maschines but the graphics displays of the input signal are more fun to watch on an AT-class maschine. Nearly all of the functions can also be controlled by using a mouse. A harddisk is not required. All texts are written in english (sort of :-) and the online help function includes the schematics for the interface circuit. There are also predefined standard phrases, a QTH distance/direction calculator and a callsign decoder. Currently about 310KB of free RAM is required. HamComm will probably NOT run under any kind of multitasking software like Desqview or Windows since it needs direct control of the interrupt controller, timer chip and serial I/O hardware. HamComm 1.3 is FREEWARE. No registration, no fee. Share and enjoy! Extensive changes made to transition from version 1.2 to 1.3 are documented in the included change log. 73 de Django +---------------+-----------------------+----------------------------+ | W.F.Schroeder | MS-Dos & OS/2 Systems | Snail: Nixdorf Computer AG | +---------------+-----------------------+ -mail: Dep.

It cleans up most of the difficulties of Modula, while giving a clean, simple way to do just about anything in a type-safe way. The definition comes from Niklaus Wirth, at ETH in Zurich (who of course defined its predecessors). My MSDOS compiler has been in use for 18 months, and has seen no bugs for over a year. It contains the language revisions made by Professor Wirth. Note that this compiler (and its associated library modules) are exclusively for MSDOS: standard object files are generated and theoretically may be linked with other non-Oberon files. Programs written using this package are source compatible with the so-called Oberon System used at ETH Zurich. -- Regards, Ed Videki erv@everest.tandem.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Mar 1991 01:34 MST From: Keith Petersen <w8sdz@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL> Subject: Recent msdos uploads to SIMTEL20 The following files have been recently uploaded to SIMTEL20: NOTE: Type B is Binary; Type A is ASCII Filename Type Length Date Description ============================================== Directory PD1:<MSDOS.4DOS> 4MENU11W.ZIP B 44032 910314 Makes batch file menus using 4DOS functions Directory PD1:<MSDOS.ARC-LBR> AV12.ZIP B 11357 910311 Ledbetter's dir viewer for ZOO/LZH/ARC/PAK/PKA LHA211.EXE B 42874 910314 LHA archiver v2.11 has better comp. than ZIP Directory PD1:<MSDOS.BATUTL> TSBAT24.ZIP B 54603 910313 Collection of useful batch files by Timo Salmi Directory PD1:<MSDOS.BBS> EXE275G1.ZIP B 172960 910311 QuickBBS 2.75 Gamma-1.
