Yep, I do run late nights, sometimes to dawn. My real job is computer game
development, so its not all that bad 🙂
Expand is a program that I guess is available from the DOS directory. I never
used it before Jamie's walkthrough, so I am not so sure of its history. I
normally use other compression tools. I'd really rather have Jamie deal with
the specifics, but the file is there and it should be evident what to do.
I had some similar flakiness with inability to load PRJ's, ANI's, etc except
for library import and composition until we reviewed the ParInit line mentioned
in the manual. I missed the "/" in "/WIN=" and that messed things up. I
suppose one should also insure they have the latest software drivers just to be
sure.
For everyone else, I mentioned finding MC2217A drives for $609.95 in San Jose.
I actually jumped on that to insure I had a twin to my other MC2217A, in
concern that IDE 1.7Gb drives may become scarse. I do openly wonder if any
manufacturer will develop a higher capacity IDE rated for PAR or if eventually
DPS will need to update to support SCSI. Those 9Gb drives are looking very
tempting!
