#Techni-Soft Ram
6 messages in this thread
I have just received my RAM-BOard back from Techni-Soft. I had problems
with programs that tried to address the serial and parallel ports, I sent my
board back to T-S 2 1/2 weeks ago for repair. I am now running with RAM-BOard,
using Online which did not run before repairs. I have not tried a lot of
programs at this time, but have tried most of the ones I had problems with
before repairs, they all seem to run now. It did not have the cover for the
buss yet. Also I had 2 more megs added I now have 4 megs, seems to work OK. I
will report after spending more time with this system. Reason for getting 2
more megs, I wanted to know if more memory would mean more problems, now rather
than later. Pete
Pete, thank you for the report. I also have my board in for the two updates
(new PAL for serial/parallel/reboot problems, and new enclosed edge connector).
It's encouraging to hear that they >are< shipping (at least one of) these
updates, and that they do return what you've sent in for repairs… Also
encouraging that the extra 2MB boards really exist. Now if they'd only get the
boards to the other 6 group purchasers who are still waiting… – Bela
Bela, What conversations with T-S led you to send your board back for updates?
What is their policy in regard to these updates for the group purchasers- do
they want additional cash, did they give you a firm date for the return of the
board? Also, do you know of any definitive way to tell if the the PAL chip for
serial and parallel i/o is not functioning correctly? I don't seem to have any
problems, but I'd hate to find some at a later time. Thanks Bill C-B
Bill, I think we should get our boards upgraded with the new PAL chip. Mine has
been functioning OK all the time EXCEPT for two days, when nothing could be
printed with the RAM included. I would hate at a later point in time to find
out that condition to become permanent. Do you have 1.2 ? With that it will not
auto-configure after a warm boot.

Joergen, I have WB1.2 (33.39) but not the final release. I haven't been able
to warm boot either with T-S and 1.2 running, but it may be that I've only
warmbooted after some other problem – I can't remember. BTW, I've crashed each
time I've tried to run cosmo with T-S and 1.2 running. Aside from this/these
I've had no problems. Not sure yet about what to do as far as the PAL
replaccement. Bill C-B
Bill, I have to log on to T-S' board and re-download the bulletin about the PAL
update. Will try to get to it tonight… – Bela
