I've recently completed writing a magazine article on 80286 LOADALL,
and 80386 LOADALL.  However, for probably obvious reasons, I can't post
the article.  It will be in the October issue of Tech Specialist.

80286 LOADALL, opcode 0F05, requires a 102-byte table at physical
address 800h.  80286 LOADALL is described in an Intel-confidential
15-page document.  If you bug Intel long enough, and have a good enough
reason, they might give it to you.

[Another description of this instruction, with probably the same info
that could be obtained from Intel, can be obtained from 
WSMR-SIMTEL20.army.mil in file PD1:<MSDOS.SYSUTL>VU-XM1C.ZIP...]

80386 LOADALL, opcode 0F07, requires a similar table, but is pointed to
by ES:EDI.  Segment overrides are allowed, but apparently have no
affect.  To my knowledge, there is no known document describing this
instruction.  However, I have reverse engineered it, and offer the
following description:

				 386 LOADALL

	386 LOADALL instruction (0F07) is similar to the 286 LOADALL
instruction (0F05).  The 286 instruction requires a 102-byte table to
be located at physical address 800h.  The 386 LOADALL doesn't have this
restriction, and due to the added registers, and features in the 386,
has a different table layout.

;    may load a descriptor cache register whose P bit is marked
;    not present (P=0).  During normal CPU operaion, simply
;    loading the segment selector with a descriptor table entry
;    whose P=0 will cause an exception-11.  This is different
;    that operating with LOADALL.  LOADALL will let you load the
;    descriptor cache register with P=0.  But any memory
;    reference using that segment selector will cause exception-
;    13.
; 2) The DPL field for SS & CS descriptors determine the CPL.
; 3) The DPL field for DS, ES, FS, & GS should be 3.
; 4) The Granularity (G) bit has no effect on the limit field
;    in the descriptor cache register
; 5) A Code segment (CS) may be Read/Write/Executable by setting
;    the access rights as a Read/Write/Data segment.  This will
;    even work in protected mode.

I don't think Sylvania or GE-RCA make fast, high current Darlingtons
like this.  In the D.A.T.A. listings, that part is also made by
Samsung and Phillips.

Similar parts in the T0-220 pkg are made by Selelab, Semicon Tech,
Texas Instruments, CollmerFuji, Shindengen. These would require some
evaluation before substituting.  I suggest, if you want only GE-RCA
or Sylvbania,  you call their nearest sales offices and talk to their
applications engineers.  Maybe the distributors also provide that
service,  I don't know.

Subject: RE: SLIP for DOS question from Vienna

About a year ago I needed to implement Serial Line Internet Protocol
between 2 DOS machines and discovered "KA9Q".  KA9Q is a software
package with SLIP drivers intended for sending packets to other DOS
machines via Amateur Radio.  I was able to use KA9Q and an RS232 cable
to FTP & etc. between the 2 PCs. (it did require a bit of playing
around as there wasn't much clear documentation on using KA9Q in that
manner.)

A KA9Q implementation can be found in files:
	G1EMMKIT.ZIP
	G1EMMSRC.ZIP or something like that. (TurboC source)

These files and info can be obtained by anonymous FTP to:
	tomcat.gsfc.nasa.gov (or send mess. to tomc@tomcat. ...)
and probably
	zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu (128.174.20.50)
	trwind.trw.com       (129.4.16.70)
	ucsd.edu	     (128.54.16.1)
	sun.soe.clarkson.edu (128.153.12.3)
	sun.cnuce.cnr.it     (192.12.192.4)

  [as well as from WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL in directory 
  PD1:<MSDOS.KA9Q]

Should you be interested in becoming a regular user there is
a forum about KA9Q carried by:
	TCP-GROUP-RELAY@ucsd.edu
This is actually the letter relay address but I have been unable to
relocate the administrative address.

Another option for SLIP implementation is NCSA-Telnet.  
NCSA Telnet can be downloaded via anon FTP from
  zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu 	
  WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL in directory PD1:<MSDOS.NCSATELNET>

I have no experience with the latter but if you have further questions
about KA9Q I can either help or help you find people who can help.

Good luck,
Frank

Some programs produce sound without giving the option to turn it off,

Is there a graceful way of silencing the speaker, run the program, and

We are using "Telix" (C) Colin Sampaleanu with his host application
("Host.slt") on telephone lines with modems (Hayes) successfully, but

The distributor does not support application to packet switching.

Subject: Hard Disk Problem

OK, I am having a problem formating my hard disk.

I low-level formatted it; ran fdisk; then ran format.  But my AT
Clone's bios, 1987 Award Bios, does not have my hard disk as an option
(830 Cyls. 10 heads 17 sectors).  So when I do the high level format,
it acts on whatever parameters I have it set too, ie. not the right
ones, and the program says that it is trying to "recover lost
allocation units".  The program stops about 78% of the way throught the
format, and the paramaters I was using where 1024 cyls, 10 heads.  So
this makes sense I guess because Format at around 80% would be trying
to format beyond the length of the hard drive.  Is there a way around
this???

1) I am trying to find a number for Award to see if I could get an
updated copy of my bios (anybody know the number?) but I heard that
with some clones, the company alters the bios given to them to fit
there specific architecture. I had a problem with a generic copy of
phoneix bios that I used to run that would lockup on large file
transfers, this was fixed when I got the Awad bios from the company
that sold me the computer.  Problem, since my clone company went out of
business, can I trust that a new copy of Award will work on my machine?

2) I have heard about programs that allow you to change the disk
parameters in memory.  I found one on Simtel20, but the author does not
recommend you using it on Hard Disks.  Anybody know of one that might
solve my problem?

3) Finally, does the DRIVEPARAMS command allow you to set your hard
disk specifications in your batch files (using DOS 4.01)?

I would appreciate anyone's help.  It is kind of frustrating to have to
boot off of floppies while I have a perfectly good hard disk just
sitting there.

Hello SCSI gurus
I have an Imprimis disk model 94161-142 WREN-III which was working on a
custum computer controller, I am trying to set it up on my PC (386sx) I
have connected the disk to ST-02 SCSI Cont. from Segate, and with all

4.3 Meg (952 Cyl. 9 Head. 1 Sect) instead of the 142 Meg it should be.
I have tried formating it with g=c800:5 with debug, at the end It says
that it was formated as 952 Cyl 9 Head 65 Sect ??, even so fdisk finds
it to be 4.3 Meg also.

as I understand there is no way to reconfigure SCSI disk manualy with
DM.  please send me any information to make this disk work.

Subject: Keyword Search on SIMTEL20 index?

Okay. I want a program that does...say ...cartoons. How do  I  query
the index to tell me all the programs that might have something  to  do
with this? I am on a VM/CMS IBM3090 using ftp to get me to SIMTEL20.

[At present, it is not possible to use the server at WSMR to do a
KEYWORD search.  It is possible, if you have an idea of what the file
is named, to do a directory search.  Use the standard 'wildcard' symbols
and ask for matching file names via the DIR command.  A major difference
between the TOPS-20 DIR command and the PC/MS-DOS DIR command is that 
question marks (?) are not allowed in the TOPS-20 command.]

This is really a basic problem I have run up against again and again
with these on-line archives. WUARCHIVE is no better that I can  see. I
really don't want to pull across an index that is 2 gigabytes  and  try
to  get some PC program to find what I want. I am hoping that there is
some  easy way to get the SIMTEL20 computer to tell me what I want.  In
addition  I would like to know if there is a generalized solution  to
this  problem, i.e. if I logon to the Arkansas archive, can I follow a
set procedure  to see if they have a cartoon program?

[How do I do the file finding?  I download the SIMIBM.IDX file (currently
about 450K - 260+K when ZIP'd - and do a 'GREP' on the file.  I also
update the .IDX file with the frequent - at least monthly - listings
put out by Keith Petersen and published here in the Digest.  gph]

components (PCA), principal coordinates (PCO), and correspondence
analyses (CA).  It can also perform cluster analysis, with eighteen
different distance and similarity measures and seven clustering
strategies.  Three different diversity indices may be calculated for
ecological data.  Scatterplots and dendrograms of the results of these
analyses can be plotted in graphics mode.  The program also has a
built-in data editor and a variety of options for data manipulation and
transformation.  It is menu driven, with context-sensitive help, and
provides a large number of user-defined settings that can be saved for
future use.

Subject: New ALL Chargecard files uploaded to SIMTEL20

I have uploaded to SIMTEL20:

pd1:<msdos.allcharge>
ALLMENU.ZIP     System information display for ALL CHARGECARD
LOADERS.ZIP     New EMS loaders for ALLEMM4 CHARGECARD softwre

ALLMENU.ZIP replaces the previous version in <MSDOS.ALLCHARGE>.

LOADERS.ZIP is a new set of loaders that replace the ones in
ALLEMM4.ZIP.

The ALLMENU program appears to now work on machines without a real ALL
Chargecard for most of the information it presents.  However, it seems
to hang on some of the memory displays if an EMS handler is not
present.

The new LOADERS (FILES, BUFFERS, LASTDRIV, DEVICE, and ALLOAD) work
with all the ALLEMM4 software releases for the ALL CARD, ALL
CHARGECARD, and ALL CHARGE 386.
