His "when in Chicago" number is 274-0531. I doubt you'd want his IN number and supplying it would be a trifle inappropriate as it was supplied, I believe, for validation purposes over on my BBS. (Such things are kept confidential.) I do recall his OK to give out his Chi number, though. If you in fact DO need to reach him in IN, leave me a msg with the request that I forward it. I'd capture/mail it. Regards.

Msg 43935 is 09 line(s) on 09/08/90 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to TAN LU re: R/CBBS CALLERS Yes, I read your msg about the EGA and Paradise. Sorry you're having trouble with the "u" command. There must be some OLD code in CBBS that is somehow rejecting your name - perhaps a "2-letter" last name isn't considered possible and so it is not put in the user log. Not sure. I'll try to look into it. Since it doesn't remember your last call, use "o;-8" or something like that to take a quick One line summary of recent msgs. You can do "or;-30,t=tan lu" to find msgs to you. I just don't think people are inclined to buy used hardware from across the country. Too much hassle in case something happens in shipping, etc. Msg 43936 is 12 line(s) on 09/09/90 from BILL MOYNIHAN to ALL re: COLOR PATCH hello: this might be pretty easy but... i am looking for a way (s/w, h/w or "black box" patch) to run my color/graphics card through rca plugs to an older color monitor. does anybody know if this is possible (this amber stuff is getting old for games, etc). thanks, bill moynihan Msg 43937 is 08 line(s) on 09/09/90 from BILL WOLFF to BILL MOYNIHAN re: R/COLOR PATCH Well it sounds like you want to plug a RGB output to a composite color monitor. Sure it can be done, but those devices are hard to find. Always the best bet is to buy a RGB monitor. I have one of those composite monitors too, that I wish I could do something with. I believe some CGA cards does offer composite video out. But maybe I am thinking of the MGA output. Yup! I think that is what I am thinking of. Yup... maybe so... oh well! Msg 43938 is 11 line(s) on 09/09/90 from BILL WOLFF to ALL re: GENIE Hey! Did you all hear that GEnie is going $6.00 per hour no matter what baud rate you are using? That means 300/1200/2400 baud all for $6.00 per hour. Did you also hear that Electronic mail, encyclopedia, stock quotes, shopping, EAASY Sabre service, U.S. and world news, Single player games, and general info is now all free! There is a catch with all this good stuff! It now cost a membership fee to stay active with GEnie. No more free ride with not logging on and not paying. Now you have to pay $4.95 a month extra. But then you get the above items for free. You have to rejoin, if you do nothing, you won't have account there any more.

Msg 43940 is 11 line(s) on 09/10/90 from GERALD PINE to ALL re: ALTOS 5 1/4 HARD DRIVE I have an Altos 5-5D machine, which came with one DSQD floppy and one 5 meg hard drive (ST-506). The hard drive died and I picked up a 10 meg drive to replace it. The good news--the 10 meg drive works. The bad news--only 5 megs is recognized by the Altos. Is anyone familiar enough with these beasts to suggest a remedy? I have a formatting program that seems to be capable of formatting disk drives with higher capacity, but when I double the number of sides from 4 to 8, which I think is the only difference in the 5 and 10 meg drives, the format program works apparently, but when I verify the format, the program blows up. Further, if I ignore the verify step and try to use the disk drive as formatted, the system chokes. Any suggestions? No dup. chars. >Function:?rs;s;lips;0
