#383305-ATI Ultra Needed
Message #383541
>> I hope to get a EISA motherboard system tomorrow. The shop tells me >> that VLB will be faster than EISA. Is this always the case? If I can use >> VLB cards, then there's a VESA slot, right? Yes, if you have a VESA local bus slot, then…

#383047-ATI Ultra Needed
Message #383150
I just spoke to ATI this week. Actually, it was about an ATI Ultra Pro EISA. But they should start shipping soon. I got this from one of their technicians a while back. They just started producing these boards with a 68000-6 processor as opposed to a 68000-3 processor. The…

ATI Ultra Needed
Message #383047
Does anyone in the world have ATI Ultra Pro VLB 2 meg cards in stock? Everyone I've called says "2-3 week delay." Please, call me at (414) 674-5200 and sell me one.
#380849-UltraStor and OS/2 2.1
Message #382873
Corel sells a SCSI interface package called "Corel SCSI". I use it to access my SyQuest drive under DOS and OS/2. You need an ASPI driver from your adapter manufacture (UltraStor) to provide the ASPI interface.

Message #382750
PMJI, When Crystal Fonts first came out, I just had to see them and I was horrified with the results. Too bad they didn't have a way of turning the feature off when you were dealing with text, because the feature may help people who strictly deal with graphics. As…

#382564-KE-09 compatibl w/AB-10?
Message #382689
Paul, A dedicated tape controller card is the FC-10 or TC-15 board that only runs the tape drive and doesn't interface with the floppy drives or the floppy controller card. The AB-10 is a tape adapter board that interfaces with the floppy controller card as well as the tape drive.…

Message #382564
Stacy, Thanks for your response. Yes, I am well grounded – I have a clip lead running from the tape drive's ground wire to a ground point on the chassis of the computer. One thing in your response puzzles me, however: -> You might be happier running the tape drive…

Message #382380
Paul, If you are going to have a makeshift drive, be sure that everything is grounded properly, or you will continue to get shoeshining. You might be happier running the tape drive externally off of a dedicated tape controller card and leaving your floppy drives alone. Make sure you are…

#380890-ULTRA 12F24 ESDI & OS2.1
Message #382324
David, PMFJI, but I am interested in the result of your query. I have an Ultrastor 12F with a Maxtor 660MB ESDI drive, and am out of disk space, so I'm thinking of getting a larger drive. I'm not convinced that the bugs are worked out of SCSI yet, so…

#381240-Old UltraLite problem
Message #382189
I am getting really pissed off. I am tired of having my 4-pound computer chained to my desk for lack of batteries. And where are the checks that we were promised in "2 weeks" Eric

Fish: My knowledge of network hardware is EXTREMELY limited…I'll have to open one of `em up & get back to^C BASE-2, thickwire/large COAX/10BASE-5 or Unshieled Twisted Pair/UTP/ 10BASE-T; we use the later), but the prices for those have gone down a lot lately. I regularly buy them for about $50.…

Message #381852
Bill: Thanks for the comment about the fuzziness of Crystal Fonts. I tend to prefer sharp screen fonts (even if they're only one pixel wide, as in some monospaced fonts), so your comment reinforces my doubts about anti-aliased fonts. — Durant

#380967-#KE-09 compatibl w/AB-10?
Message #381750
Stacey, Well, I did have some trouble – turns out the KE-09 did come with a "Ralph" so that was not the problem. But the DJ-10 is a tad long for the KE-09 case – so the drive stuck out some in front. Worse, I think there is an incompatility.…

#ATI Crystal Fonts
Message #381546
Durant, I recently upgraded to an ATI Ultra+ 2MB (ISA) on a 486-33. I have found it to have good drivers & to work well with DOS & Windows. I tried the Crystal Fonts — they looked "nice", but to me they looked fuzzy so I stopped using them. Bill…

Message #381511
Chris: > If anyone has any interest in these… Yea, I do. What kind of network connector is included? I couldn't use 10BASE-2 or -5, but AIC or 10BASE-T would work. Are they diskless? Do you have the docs and disks? (Even diskless, you'd need to install something on the…

#Old Novell Stations
Message #381284
Anybody: Anyone here know of anybody who might be interested in acquiring a pair of old Novell barebone 8-bit dedicated stations? I really don't have any idea of their worth. They have 8088-2 cpus, network connectors hardwired to the motherboard, 1Mb of RAM, and XT-class slots and keyboards. They were…
#Old UltraLite problem
Message #381240
I also sent in my batteries under the replacement program, but have received nothing in return. I called the hotline and they said they are swamped. My name is not even in the computer yet, but was told not to worry, because less than 50% of the claims have even…

Message #380967
Paul, Of course, we can always use good reports. Thanks! You can try the older tape drive in the KE-09 but just be aware that you may have some installation difficulty. The "Ralph" is a special adapter that goes from a pin edge connector and turns it into a card…

#ULTRA 12F24 ESDI & OS2.1

Any comments on how to get a Micropolis 1.2 gig drive, Ultrastor 12F24 ESDI controller and OS/2 2.1 to work together?
#UltraStor and OS/2 2.1
Message #380849
Sysop and All, I have an 88 Megabyte SyQuest removable cartridge drive connected to an UltraStor SCSI controller card. This is on a 486DX-50 with 8 megs of memory running OS/2 2.1. The problem is that while the driver I am currently using will correctly work with my 170 meg…
#KE-09 compatibl w/AB-10?
Message #380781
Thanks, Stacey, Yup, we finally got ourselves on the right message tracks! Hmmm. By this, I guess you mean I can't harm anything by trying my present combination (the DJ-10 drive and AB-10 card) with the KE-09 clamshell. Hmmm again: what's a "Ralph"?! Didn't see anything like that in my…
SCSI programming?
Message #180228
I'm about to embark on a project that will involve low-level SCSI programming. We're using it to interface two computers together. I'm looking for advice on resources to do this: Is there a standard software interface to the SCSI device driver, or is each board's lowest-level driver different? I recently…
#155802-RLL reformat from ROM?
Message #155818
Syndesis, With my Western Digital controller, I use g=cc00:5 while in debug. I've recently installed a 2nd HD, and the book that came with it said to use g=c000:5. c000:5 did nothing for me. If you don't have a WD controller, figure what address the rom is using, then use…
