In regards to connecting monitors to an MM/1 or MM/1a: Your reply prompts me to wonder: How do I "massage" the RAMDAC into providing a 31 kHz horizontal scan? Since I don't have any concrete info about this chip I can only wonder... Can someone give me some insight on this?

Sorry for all the misinformation so far. Here is the "straight skinny". The 340 two serial ports as opposed to the 070's one. This adds device /t5. There is a new driver, SC68340, which supports /t0 and /t5 on the 68340 and is "smarter" than the SC68070 driver which was used to previously support /t0 with the 070. Reason why ports /t1, /t2, /t3 and /t4 all benefit with the 340 is that there are new SC68901 (#30) and SC68681 (#32) drivers!! ------------------------------------ Zack C Sessions ColorSystems "I am Homer of Borg, prepare to be assimi ...

I WILL be describing such a system in the next couple issues of 268M. The reason I won't be putting such a system together is that not many have responded as of yet. I had intended to make a one-tim e purchase of the components, pack and ship the items to the individuals wanting them, and charge enough to cover shipping and handling... no more than $75 each... over my cost. Some people can get surplus cases, drives, etc, cheap enough locally, others c an't. What I am going to do is list some sources for the components. As it turns out, if I collected and redistributed components, you wouldn't save anything... might not pay much more, though. So I'll let everyone collect their own components, just give t hem the where and how to obtain most of them.

FORUM>Reply, Add, Read, "?" or Exit> [1;1H[2J84210 19-DEC 21:55 Applications (6809) Profile From: THETAURUS To: ALL If there is anyone out there with experience with OS-9 Profile, I need a little help. I am pretty close to finishing my project of creating a database for all OS9 and Coco Clubs and UG's, and one for all Coco and OS9 related BBS'. I am of course using OS9 Profile. What I first worked on was the database for the Club listing. I created the fields for that and defined the display format. Then I started working on the BBS base, defined the fields, and then defined the display format, in the process deleting some fields which I later found unnecessary, and adding others that I later felt I needed. The Display format is now finished, and I have now gone onto the report format. This is where my problem is. Is there any way, possibly through a patch, that you can get more than *5* detail lines? I can't believe it is limited to only five, since I want to include all the data from the record, and that will take up a whole page for each record. I finished the first report format. I am now just creating different formats for different purposes, while I wait to find a way to devote a whole page to each record. For instance my first report is for records sorted by area code, and then there will be another for the ones sorted by state, etc, with only applicable info in each report. Once I get this figured out, I will finish up the Club base. On a side note, now that I've had a bit of experience with profile and did some learning, I think it still is a pretty good program on the whole. I really wish a 3rd party was able to pick this up and continue it's support, as it could have really shaped up to be a heck of a program. The bad part is, it's slow, it is short on documentation, and of course it is lacking some features. Keep in mind tho, this was created for Level I back in about 1985, so at the time it was probably cutting edge. On the bright side, it is solid, funtional, bug free, and pretty flexible in the amount of Display and report formats you can have. It would be nice to be able to have more memory to add more fields, but so far that is bearable. I still say this is better than the bug fest I had with Data Windows. Btw, if you have any suggestions as to what info I should include in the databases, please let me know. I've never run a BBS or a Club or UG, so there may More? be info I am missing. If you want I can't post what the display format looks for each base, showing what info is included so far. >Chris< FORUM>Reply, Add, Read, "?" or Exit> [1;1H[2J84211 19-DEC 22:30 New Uploads RE: GWINDOWS available for the MM1 (Re: Msg 84127) From: FHOGG To: ALL Date: 12/19/93 Further Clarification Of the FHL Offer for GWINDOWS for the MM1. Issues have been brought up by Delmar, a competitor of ours about what we have offered to do. First let me state that when I posted my message I was unaware that Delmar had extended their offer until February. If you look at the message time you will see that they were posted within 1 minute of each other. My reasons for making this offer were triggered by Ken Scales comments. It triggered my thinking and was the catalyst for me to make my offer. If I had known that Delmar was extending their offer I would not have made mine. However Delmars comments annoyed me and I have decided to pursue this. I had a long talk with Steve Adams about statements Gresick More? made in his message and what follows is the truth about GWINDOWS on the TC70 and other platforms as stated by Steve Adams. FH: What is the difference in GW from edition #37 on. SA: As far as I know the only changes involved 4 things. 1) The Japanese version 2) Ultra C use 3) GView 4) OS9000. There is no significant difference between 37 and 51 other than those. FH: Can applications made for earlier versions of GWINDOWS work on later versions and vice versa. SA: I have always tried to make GWINDOWS upward compatible. As far as I know all applications will work on 37 and up thru 51 of GWINDOWS. FH: What about updating to newer versions of GWINDOWS? More? SA: As far as I know there is no changes to the drivers required to update to newer versions of GWINDOWS from #37 on. FH: What about ControlCalc? And how much does it cost? SA: ControlCalc may be the only difference. It may require a newer edition. I don't know the cost for sure but I think it's $6,000. FH: Well if it costs that much then it is not an issue here. Do you have any objection if I were to appoint a single MM1 owner as my agent to port and provide updates to the port on the MM1? SA: I would have no problem with that as long as it was just that one person who has the port pack. -+- Now about my release of the source code for the driver. More? I have a lot of confidence in the ability of OS9 users who have proven in the past to be of a high caliber. The updates and improvements made to the coco OS9 over the years are a testament to the quality of people in our community. It is my belief that with commented source these users would be able to provide a far better product than any one self appointed expert could ever do. The driver as disassembled by Ray can be reassembled without any of the port pack libraries. The source that we used to do the original port can be used as a reference to the disassembled source. Considering that Ray got GWINDOWS running on his MM1 in a few weeks justifies my high opinion of OS9 users capabilities. I have always held you guys in high regard. Perhaps others should also. Ray has been running GWINDOWS for over a year! It is available NOW. He has been running demos of both ControlCalc and GView on his MM1. If you want to go the other route then you will have to wait until May or June at LEAST. That is only IF he gets his 20 orders. I calculated this by using his guess that it would take 2-3 months to do the port after the February deadline. After talking to Ray More? about some oddities in the MM1 I suspect it would take him longer. The GWINDOWS I was offering is available NOW! At any rate I have decided to cancel my offer to provide GWINDOWS for the MM1 in the unsupported form. Stand by for further information.
