NETBSD/Linux still haven't configed the hardware to try either one yet but getting close. Got the HDs rearranged today. lGlamb via Autopilot
Software Hut carries the Meeting Pearls CDs. I think the 215 586 5701 number is still good. lGlamb via Autopilot
True. Now that I think about that post was on another board but the person that posted it had many overlapping interests with you. Wording of ad seemed just about the same though. lGlamb via Autopilot

#EtherNet Cards
Message #159816
Dale, I think you're older post about the cards for $225 somehow got reincarnated. Had me wondering why you weren't dropping the price after so long or if you're friend had dropped another set on you. lGlamb via Autopilot
A1200 is sold. Thanx for all the interest. lGlamb lglamb+RV13@rvdc.unisys.com CTOS Data Comm Support
Mike, The I-Care is an Amiga specific PCMCIA card offered by Interworks. Runs at least twisted pair and cheapernet. Interworks also has higher level comm packages available. At least ENLAN 2.0 is shipping and I'm not sure what the status is of their TCP/IP package. Card costs about $300 but…
Well, I've nitpicked just about everything i can on the thing. The one thing I wouldn't accept myself is the slot problem and I don't know how many other folks really need that given the general lack of PCMCIA expansions. lGlamb lglamb+RV13@rvdc.unisys.com CTOS Data Comm Support
Richard, Thought i answered over in Mail. Current best offer is $125. I'm holding till MON to see if anyone betters that. lGlamb lglamb+RV13@rvdc.unisys.com CTOS Data Comm Support
Dale, I've got 2 other 1200s using same card and boot floppy they work. Like I said, the slot may work for others but doesn't for my required config. Besides, I'm running out of desk space. lGlamb lglamb+RV13@rvdc.unisys.com CTOS Data Comm Support
#A1200 CHEAP
Message #157469
How cheap? Well make me an offer (include prefered shipping method). Base machine, power supply, books, 3.0 s/w only. No HD. No 030. No monitor. 2Meg Chip memory only. No demo/games. All the good stuff's been pulled into the replacement machine . Problem is this particular unit appears to have…
Karl's on holiday this week but the lot is sold. Some parts may be resurfacing once I get done reconfiguring my own systems and parsing the rest out among the locals. There's a lot of stuff here and the condition is generally excellant. I thought my wife would lynch me…
Redmond, Thanx. Sounds like I can keep the card even though the slot on the second 1200 itself has apparently gone south. (Swapping the I-Card and cable over to my other 1200 works fine but even with the 1230 removed I can't get diddly out of the new machine. Swapping…
dan, I had the MBX1200 mem expansion board and found it was incompatible with the I-Card so I'm being a bit cautious about this card. I did notice that even with as little as 2M this card seems to be splitting memory into multiple banks but I no longer have…
M1230XA vs I-Card
Message #81962
Is the memory expansion on the M1230XA card compatible with using the Interworks PCMCIA ethernet adapter? If so in what combinations? thanx lGlamb lglamb+RV13@rvdc.unisys.com
Chris, It does if you don't want cables running all over the place and if the final one needs powered terminators and isn't likely to be on most of the time. I really see no need to keep the QIC on as it doesn't get used that much. Plus you've…

#WANGTEK Tape Backup
Message #129730
On my model RP4 is definately mounted (fortunately i decided i was going to check further before i pulled harder). That does jive with the table you posted. I still haven't been able to pick up a 50-50 scsi cable so haven't yet put the new system together. Actually, I'm…
> Mind if I ask what you folks have been paying for 5150ES drives? Yes! Got mine years ago and the current prices make me cry. lGlamb lglamb+RV13@rvdc.unisys.com CTOS Data Comm Support
THANKS! Gotta file those numbers someplace i'll find it next time. The 30559 is my board (it has been a few years hasn't it). Thought E1 had something to do with some config change i made sometime but couldn't find my notes. Was a bit suspicious about your previous descripion…
Christopher, Dom Thanx. Think I've got it now. They're at positions RP2 RP3 and RP4 right? It's that DIP at RP2 that threw me. Never came across one of those on any of my other SCSI devices. But is RP1 involved at all (it's located near the set of jumpers…
Try contacting InterWorks. They may have a TCP/IP solution soon or be able to suggest some PC software that works with ENLAN-DFS.
Dom, Do you by any chance have any documentation on that 5150ES? I'm moving it to another system and need to know how the terminators are configured but can't find any description. Thing has jumpers all over the place and I vaguely recall it not being the obvious one. thanx…
Peter beat me with the address. I've got them sending me more info and will post more details when i get it. I've also heard rumour that EnlanDFS will have a new release in the fall. I'm trying to find a current number for them and see if they can…
1200 Ethernet NOW?
Message #105621
Anyone have any experience/info about this PCMCIA Ethernet card or the associated software from Amigo BC? lGlamb lglamb+RV13@rvdc.unisys.com CTOS Data Comm Support
MB, I got from Briwall. ENLAN was $230 for 5 node license. Boards are standard CBM A2065s. Price was something just under $300 each. I'm running over ThinNet cable but I believe these boards will also go to an external MAU which means you could probably install a 10BaseT network.…
That's ENLAN-DFS and it does a very good job for an amiga only network (also works with DECNET but i'm using simply to allow one amiga access to the big disk on the other). lGlamb lglamb+RV13@rvdc.unisys.com CTOS Data Comm Support
I got it from Briwall for $230. That's for a basic 5 node license.
ENLAN is a DEC compatible product from Interworks. Runs over the CBM ethernet boards and costs around $200 for a 5 node license. It's been working fine for me in a pure Amiga setting but I don't know of anything I could tie into on the MSDOS side. Agree, the…
Amiga to PC LAN
Message #80723
Anyone had any experience LANing Amigas and PCs? I'm currently running ENLAN between my Amigas but would like to drop in a PC. Mostly for disk sharing. Full access would be nice but even a batch mode transfer would save me money in the long run. lGlamb lglamb+RV13@rvdc.unisys.com CTOS Data…
No no no. I have one copy of Superbase (ok at the moment 2 but that's a debug situation). The data files (including forms etc.) however happen to be resident across the LAN. The only s/w actually touching the file should be ENLAN on the server with Sbase working on…
I'll don't recall anything along those lines in the doc. Mostly ELAN appears pretty transparent to my other software (except crossdos). But remember, I'm not trying to share the file. I've only one user, they just happen to be across the net AND this does work with 1.1. lGlamb+RV13@rvdc.unisys.com FROM…
Mike, I installed a copy of 1.2 at the Server machine. That copy could access the dbase on the optical normally but could not access dbases back on the original machine. Same symptom xxxxxx.sbv DOS can't open input file: Again, I'm running Enlan-DFS over A2065s between 2 3000. Version 1.1…
A LAN version will be looked for BUT what happened in 1.2? I'm not really trying to use as network just happen to have data files across LAN on the optical that has more room. 1.1 worked fine but 1.2 doesn't. I'll install again and play around somemore to see…
Unfortunately, I don't have control over the remote side in all cases. I have put out an alert to those I do to add in a delay. What v.42 modems have you worked with? Maybe I can get a user to spring for a couple tests units. lGlamb lglamb+RV13@rvdc.unisys.com CTOS…
Unfortunately, V.42 was done by committee. Appendix I SUGGESTs a couple of options on what to do with characters rcv'd during negotiation: a) throw them away b) buffer them But it even backs off and saying either of these is an absolute requirement. Aren't standards wonderful . lGlamb lglamb+RV13@rvdc.unisys.com CTOS…
unfortunately, i think the customer was sold them on basis they could go faster. Fortunately, it's been a couple days with nothing from them about when the manuals at least could be sent so i'm begining to thing isn't quite as hot as they originally thought. Currently the work as…
HST Modem Refresher
Message #51094
I almost hate to reopen this topic but can someone please brief me on the operational differences of the USR Courior HST modems? I seem to remember a discussion about them being optimized for one directional file transfers. Now a customer has gone out and bought a truckload and wonders…
Haven't seen one yet. As of two weeks ago, all the 'local' dealers were very interested but still couldn't get thier hands on one. Based on some very short discussions and the even shorter articles/ads, I believe these drives are using a laser tracking system to allow much greater data…
Still can't figure how that could explain the sometimes work sometimes don't but i'm certainly not gonna take the machine apart to investigate it now that i'm up again. Thanx for info. lGlamb
hmmmm, let me wrap back to my first question then, what/where exactly is this ENVARC: assigned? I had been playing with the disk partitions on that disk and had one partition named SC0 I believe. My 'local' shop had reports that the various 2.x soft kickstarts were having problems with…
Thanx. Noticed that and found it was changed in 2.04 scripts. I'm now using ROMs for assorted reasons. But I still can't understand how it was working for some time. Can RAM: structures carry over reboots (power offs)?
Lost ENV: ?
Message #18783
What'd i do now? I've been doing some restructuring of my disks when i suddenly find I can no longer boot properly. Even my original Workbench floopy doesn't work, only a combo of floppy KS and the Install disk allowed me to get this far. From Power ON, I get…
That's basically what i thought was happening. The lines were really bad for a couple days when the rains came through and of course it had to be when i tried out the new modem. Tried the MNP 4 connection to CIS the next day. Effective transfer rate was only…
Still not there
Message #16677
Jack, Tried your board again and still having great difficulty getting in. Have JRCOMM set to 9600 and using RTS/CTS Have modem set to HW handshake, best connection, fixed rate (AT commands\n3\j\q3). I'll get in but the signon screen shows up in spurts with long pauses. Is this normal with…
The + is MNP and V.42. Apparently it tries for a V.42 then falls back through the MNP options and finally 2400/1200/300. I think most of my problems last night were due to the rain. Whap kept getting hung up as well but seems fine tonight. How do I upgrade…
#JRCOMM vs WB2.0
Message #16575
Jack, I admit to being guilty of changing two things at once but need your help on this. I can't seem to get into your support board with JRCOMM. It may just be very very bad lines caused by the rain but it's also my first attempt to use a…
Much later. I have a Q 105 and the spinup time is around 7 seconds. I think don has suggest some other workarounds in the past but I can't remember which one I used. Have since moved that drive to another system where both drives are Quantums so everyone comes…
Thanx GVP now thinks an upgrade of Tapestore software will fix problem but I can't get into thier BBS till Monday to try to download file. Will give you call mid week if i'm still stuck.
SCSI devices
Message #14521
Does anyone have a utility for checking out basic existance scsi devices? I'm trying to add a tape streamer to my 3K and am not sure if I've got a s/w or h/w problem. So far all I can get it to do is reset itself when cpu is reset…
