The program is very nice: it includes a number of good options (backup single or multiple drives, current user area or all, files with attribute set or not, etc) and it is much better than my present system. I back up using ARCHIVE (COM or CMD), SUBMIT files and SOFTKEY files (a keyboard enhancer program for Compupro systems). Additional features: It generates an alphabetical listing of all non-dupli- cated files, prints it and then, as it backs up, it prints a formatted list of the files being copied. It prompts for the date and a disk number, and this info is used to generate in user 0 of the backup disk a file called -.. Problems and questions: BU comes setup to manipulate the file attribute F4. This is no good for my system where this attribute is used by MPM to disable several features. I modified it so it manipulates T3 ( the archive attribute bit) and now it sets and resets this bit like ARCHIVE ,PIP, etc. Problems: The program prompts for a new disk when the backup is full, but if a new one is inserted I run into problems under MPM-816. Has anybody modified BU to do the equivalent of a DSKRESET ? Is anybody using this program with a Compupro system running under MPM-816? The program is in MICRO:BU-11.LBR.

More interestingly, they have a S-100 board > Sam Chin I have seen this board advertised but I think people should be wary about rushing out and buying one even though they seem like a good deal. Last august I decided to add more memory to my machine and their 128k/256k dynamic memory board seemed like a good deal too. However having had previous (bad) experiences with dynamic boards for s100 machines I was wary. I have a Morrow hard disk controller which does dma so I called them up and specifically asked - Will this board function correctly with the Morrow HDC-DMA (just about as close to an exact quote as I can do)? Answer: YES. Reality: NO. I did not discover this immediately since all my other memory was static and it was not until I ran in a configuration where the Lomas board was being used as the target of the disk transfer that failure occurred. By this time the warranty had expired so I just sighed and went out and bought another static ram board (sound of toilet flushing). Even now I am tempted by both the price of their new board and the claims about it but dynamic just doesn't seem to work in a generic s100/IEEE696 environment. If anyone has had better experiences with dynamic memeory I would be pleased to know. All the boards I know of either don't do dma properly or are restictricted to particular cpu, etc etc. John Chapman Once warned, twice shy, but still optimistic. 1-Mar-85 09:03:11-MST,1280;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from AMSAA by SIMTEL20.ARPA with TCP; Fri 1 Mar 85 09:02:59-MST Received: from ari-hq1.arpa by AMSAA.ARPA id a021059; 1 Mar 85 10:20 EST Date: 1 Mar 85 10:12:00 EST From: brake@ari-hq1.ARPA MMDF-Warning: Parse error in preceding line at AMSAA.ARPA Subject: Dynamic Memory To: info-cpm Reply-To: brake@ari-hq1.ARPA MMDF-Warning: Parse error in preceding line at AMSAA.ARPA I tried to install dynamic memory in my CompuPro system (8085/8088). The board could be strapped for up to 8 wait states so I didn't think that I would have any problems. I figured that in the worst case 8 wait states would be alright since the memory was so cheap. Wrong! I put the memory at 0000H and I couldn't get the 8085 to boot under CP/M since the disk controller (DISK1) was too fast for the memory even with 8 wait states. I put the memory above my RAM16's and tried to use the 8088 (CP/M86) debugger to deposit values in the memory without any luck. The only way I could get the memory to work was to run my 8085 at 2 MHZ with no wait states. The lesson to be learned is that if you have a disk controller that does DMA don't buy dynamic memory.

MEX v112 lost an ASCII capture file and did not save the whole file correctly when I exited with a 'CPM'. This is what I did and what happened: Opened ASCII capture file 'TRNSCRPT' Recorded ~5k characters Stopped record with -'U'nsave Did a couple MODEM2 file tranfers Logged out of remote and exited MEX with 'CPM' I did get the message 'saving TRNSCRPT' upon leaving MEX, but the file contained only ~200 characters. I've had the problem before and usually solve it by 'WRT' the transcript before exiting. (Forgot to do it this time however.) I don't know if the MODEM2 tranfer had anything to do with it. 2. A second incident came about when I was attempting the transfer a whole batch of keystrings from one version of MEX to another. Easy, I thought, just save FILE.KEY from one and load FILE.KEY from the other. However, I kept getting a 'syntax error' on the load command. I tracked it down to the '/' character in one of the keystrings. (The use of the back slash '/' character is documented in the manual but not in the on-line help file, or at least not under LOAD/SAVE or STRINGS.) If the keystring has a single back slash as in 'KEY A="cd usr/anywhere/anywhat^M" the SAVE command saves it with single backslash. But when the LOAD command reads the key file it expects to see double back slashes. Therefore, I suggest the SAVE command save the file in a form that the LOAD command could read it. 3. (Not really a bug but annoying) Occasionally during MODEM2 file transfers MEX will end the transfer with a "File Transfer Aborted" without any mention of NAK's, retries, or other errors. It usually only occurs which downloading long, >50k transfers (naturally!), and with otherwise clean lines (very few NAK's). It has not occured during uploads. The remote host goes on sending blocks after MEX has aborted until the remote computer (I use umodem on the remote unix machine) times out. It is almost as if the local user had typed an ^C to abort the transfer. Has this been reported before or is it maybe hardware related? I've not had this problem with MDM7 when I used it. I am using the MXO-NS11 overlay for the second serial port on my NorthStar Horizon. Otherwise, MEX is fine. I much prefer it over MDM7 as the command interface is closer to how I naturally think. And the read command is great! - as umodem doesn't allow batch transfers, I ended up using a read file for a psuedo batch transfer of all the zcpr3.com files. 50-some files in 60 minutes! I couldn't possibly type the command lines fast enough to do that, even if I have enough concentration to jump on the prompts as soon as they appeared. -bob bloom 1-Mar-85 12:28:54-MST,724;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from AMSAA by SIMTEL20.ARPA with TCP; Fri 1 Mar 85 12:28:42-MST Received: from xerox.arpa by AMSAA.ARPA id a014349; 27 Feb 85 8:06 EST Received: from Chelois.ms by ArpaGateway.ms ; 27 FEB 85 05:06:27 PST Date: Wed, 27 Feb 85 08:06 EST From: Kushall.henr@XEROX.ARPA Subject: Re: Another NULU11 bug In-reply-to: <8502202154.AA29719@a.ARPA> To: Richard Thomsen cc: info-cpm-request@AMSAA.ARPA Resent-Date: Fri, 1 Mar 85 13:51:25 EST Resent-From: cpmlist@AMSAA.ARPA Resent-To: info-cpm@XEROX.ARPA After you unsqueeze the documentation copy it over with pip using the [z] option this should fix the character set problem.

If STAT BUFFER shows a buffer size >32K, then then MEX gets mixed up. It seems to be caused by one of the disk write sector counters being limited to 8 bits. This only shows up in the larges of systems. An interim fix (until I can get out from under my current workload and issue an update): use MEXPATCH to create a *real big* phone directory (increase it until STAT buffer drops below 32K). The '/' problem with keystrings is an algorthm error in the keystring readback routine; it needs re-writing, and will get it in the next rev. In the meantime, I believe that temporarily redefining the keystring with two '/' characters -- which requires that you type four, actually -- just prior to saving the .KEY file will work. I This, of course, is a *real* pain if you have a lot of keystrings with slashes in them. The only download error that doesn't draw a diagnostic is the out-of-sync problem: typically, a NAK from the receiver gets permuted into an ACK; the sender begins sending the succeeding record, MEX has missed the record it NAKKED, and there is no provision in the protocol to back up. MEX knows it can't recover from this, and simply branches to the ABORT routine. Next time I'll make it print "fatal sync error" or somesuch. Note that the latter problem occurs most commonly when transfers are taking place through a network (or interrupt driven sender). GZ @MC explained why this is so a couple of years ago, but the details of her explanation escape me right now. I hope to roll a better protocol for MEX 2+<.something>, based on extensions of the old ... Thanks for reporting the problems so thoroughly! Often, I get things like "SENDOUT doesn't work right", with not clue as to what exactly doesn't work (in case you're wondering, the problem with SENDOUT occurs in overlays that loop on status-false in the input-modem-port routine; this routine should either return 0 if it can't read the modem port for some reason, or perferably, return the last character seen). --Ron 2-Mar-85 03:16:00-MST,1050;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from AMSAA by SIMTEL20.ARPA with TCP; Sat 2 Mar 85 03:15:55-MST Received: from brl-tgr.arpa by AMSAA.ARPA id aa03365; 2 Mar 85 4:52 EST Received: from usenet by BRL-TGR.ARPA id a004594; 2 Mar 85 4:42 EST From: Peter Harrison%MIS Newsgroups: net.micro.cpm,net.micro.apple Subject: Supercalc tax templates: does anyone have 1984 version?

If anyone out there knows anything about this beast and interfacing it, please send me mail (this is not of general enough interest for news). For all intents and purposes I have what is called a "dumb Marksman" without the Calcomp intelligent controller card. What I would particularly like is information on the following topics: 1) Is the interface compatible with anything else? (I heard a rumour that it was 8 inch winchester compatible, but that seemed only true for the Calcomp intelligent card) 2) Are the Konan S100 adapters for these things still available? - I heard that they went out of business. Is it using the dumb or intelligent interfaces? 3) If I gotta get a Calcomp intelligent card, where to I find one? 4) Is there anyone out there at XEROX (who I heard took over the Calcomp disk division) and knows about this beastie? 5) Has anybody out there got one? I have an intelligent card (seems to support RS232, SDLC and DMA) for it, but Zapsystems went out of business, and only RS232 software is present on the card. It doesn't run fast enough with RS232 to make it worthwhile using it serially, but it is a nice interface for testing the drive with a terminal. -- Chris Lewis, Motorola New Enterprises SNail: 560 Dennison, Unit 9, Markham, Ontario, Canada, L3R 2M8 UUCP: {allegra, linus}!{utzoo, ihnp4}!utcs!mnetor!clewis BELL: (416)-475-1300 ext. 321 3-Mar-85 08:55:01-MST,937;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from AMSAA by SIMTEL20.ARPA with TCP; Sun 3 Mar 85 08:54:53-MST Received: from simtel20.arpa by AMSAA.ARPA id a007094; 3 Mar 85 10:22 EST Date: Saturday, 2 February 1985 10:27-MST Message-ID: Sender: "B.Eiben LCG Ext 617-467-4431" From: "B.Eiben LCG Ext 617-467-4431" Subject: DBCLINIC.LBR for dBase II .DBF files ReSent-From: KPETERSEN@simtel20.ARPA ReSent-To: Info-Cpm@AMSAA.ARPA ReSent-Date: Sun 3 Mar 1985 08:21-MST DBCLINIC.LBR has been uploaded.

The solution is to include a Control-V just ahead of such characters when you tell FTP what file you want. In this case it would be: MICRO:POKE^V&GO1.DOC (where the ^V is a control-V, of course). The control-V is a "quote next character" command. --Keith 3-Mar-85 22:55:31-MST,959;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from AMSAA by SIMTEL20.ARPA with TCP; Sun 3 Mar 85 22:55:26-MST Received: from simtel20.arpa by AMSAA.ARPA id a010011; 4 Mar 85 0:30 EST Date: Sunday, 3 March 1985 08:38-MST Message-ID: Sender: Dan Winkler From: Dan Winkler Subject: xlisp 1.4 source available on Arpa/Milnet ReSent-From: KPETERSEN@simtel20.ARPA ReSent-To: Info-Cpm@AMSAA.ARPA, Info-Micro@brl-vgr.ARPA, Info-Ibmpc@usc-isib.ARPA ReSent-Date: Sun 3 Mar 1985 22:30-MST The source of the latest version of xlisp (1.4) is available by anonymous ftp from harvard.

There have been many changes since version 6.9 was posted to the SIMTEL20 archives. A change history is in the file NOTES.TNC. A few of the major ones are: 1) The program has been converted to M80/L80 source language. It got too big for ASM/MAC. 2) Automatic forwarding of mail among packet systems is supported. This requires a user list in the file FWD.TNC. 3) The BIOS got too big, too. There is now a two stage bootstrap, with the second stage in the file CBIOS.COM, also as described in NOTES.TNC. This system runs on the following hardware: Computer: Xerox 820-1 computer (the ones that were available for $50, and are still around for not much more), one or more 8" single density, single or double sided disk drives, parallel keyboard, CRT monitor. Packet Radio gear: One or Two TAPR (or AEA) TNCs with version 3.1 or later software. (Two TNCs if you are going to run a crossband Gateway.) Radio gear: One or two transceivers. The W0RLI software supports sending, receiving and forwarding mail, uploading and downloading files, capturing typescripts, logging channel activity and mailbox activity, and gateway operation between two TNCs on two bands. Read the file NOTES.TNC to start working your way through the documentation. Hank, W0RLI, does not have access to ARPANET or Usenet. I will be glad to try to answer questions and/or relay questions and comments to Hank via 2 meters. You can reach me at ARPANET: clements@BBN Usenet: {ihnp4, linus, wivax, decvax, wjh12, ima}!bbncca!clements Hank would appreciate knowing of users who are running this software. A QSL to Hank or a net message to me would be appreciated. Here is Hank's update from the February 1985 NEPRA PacketEar: The MailBox/GateWay has now been sent to 25 states and 5 countries. As far as I know for sure, it is on the air at least 20 places now. In the Boston area, 4000 messages have passed through it. The local forwarding network now includes 9 nodes: W0RLI, WB2OSZ, WB1DSW, K1BC, WA2RRKN-2, K7PYK, WA4SZK, KA1T, W1AW-4. The last two run their own software, but allow for forwarding from the W0RLI systems. A message put into any one of these systems will find its way to the system nearest the intended recipient. There are several other areas of the country now using the software: Georgia, Arizona, Iowa, Washington DC, Seattle, ENY/NYC/NNJ, Dallas, Illinois, Southern New Jersey, Los Angeles have all been heard from. All have the software in daily use. Expect to see it on Oscar-10 at KL7GNG soon. Look for it from Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Hungary. Sacramento county RACES will be using it. GateWays are running at W0RLI, K7PYK, WA4SZK and WB7DCH. de Hank Oredson, W0RLI 73, Bob K1BC 4-Mar-85 06:41:34-MST,483;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from AMSAA by SIMTEL20.ARPA with TCP; Mon 4 Mar 85 06:41:30-MST Received: from mit-multics.arpa by AMSAA.ARPA id a011492; 4 Mar 85 8:20 EST Date: Mon, 4 Mar 85 08:20 EST From: "John C.

One of the newsletters addressed this question, and a tradeoff table was presented which discussed the tradeoffs. I personally use ZCPR3 on a hard disk most of the time, but I also have several applications disks which have around 60K of disk overhead devoted to ZCPR3 itself (MENU, VMENU, and VFILER systems). You have many options other than SIMTEL20 thru which ZCPR3 can be acquired. SIG/M is one, Echelon is another, and RBBS systems is a third. Some computer clubs are giving seminars on ZCPR3 installation also. Re Small C, I believe that similar options (SIG/M, RBBS, computer clubs) exist also. How to best use your time? I would recommend that you first acquire all of the pointers info you can (RBBS list, address of SIG/M, address of Echelon, ZCPR3 Helper list, etc) so that you can continue accessing the software after your net access goes away. Once you have this, can the CPM directories on SIMTEL20 and explore whatever tickles your fancy. Lots of good stuff all thru the directories.

Big, inductive loads switching on and off (motors, relays) create transients from hot to neutral. Any sources outside the building can only drive transients from hot to both ground and neutral, because ground and neutral are connected at the circuit breaker box. Assuming the building is wired with grounded outlets, all three wires run in parallel from the breaker box to the outlet, so even VHF radiation can't drive a big differential mode signal. The only source I could think of for a big signal from ground to something else is a lightning strike to just one wire - and I wouldn't expect any MOV to handle that! - Jim Van Zandt 6-Mar-85 12:42:47-MST,1759;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from AMSAA by SIMTEL20.ARPA with TCP; Wed 6 Mar 85 12:42:35-MST Received: from brl-tgr.arpa by AMSAA.ARPA id a001943; 6 Mar 85 14:04 EST Received: from usenet by BRL-TGR.ARPA id a007225; 6 Mar 85 13:42 EST From: Chuck McManis Newsgroups: net.micro.cpm Subject: Re: keyboards Message-ID: <521@intelca.UUCP> Date: 4 Mar 85 16:52:02 GMT Xref: seismo net.micro.cpm:4047 To: info-cpm@AMSAA.ARPA If you look into the box of the Keyboard you will probably find a microcontroller running it. If that is the case and it is an EPROM version, (or even if it has an EPROM equivalent) You will need to dump out its software, find the table of ascii characters it sends (usually a serial table from 0-7FH but may be grouped differently, eg 0-1F,40-5F,20-3F etc) The distinguishing factor is usually the all numbers from 0-7F appear exactly once, and in a space that is 80H bytes long. Once you have this info (assuming you dumped it into a programmer capable of programming the EPROM version of your micro controller) You can find the ascii representations of the keys you want to redifine in the table and replace the ascii code that a Dvorak keyboard would return. Then program the new micro controller, (*always* save the old one so you can go back to square 1 if you need to) install it and voila, Dvorak in hardware. --Chuck -- - - - D I S C L A I M E R - - - {ihnp4,fortune}!dual\ All opinions expressed herein are my {qantel,idi}-> !intelca!cem own and not those of my employer, my {ucbvax,hao}!hplabs/ friends, or my avocado plant. :-} 6-Mar-85 21:37:39-MST,942;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from AMSAA by SIMTEL20.ARPA with TCP; Wed 6 Mar 85 21:37:34-MST Received: from brl-aos.arpa by AMSAA.ARPA id a008473; 6 Mar 85 23:10 EST Received: from mit-mc.arpa by BRL-AOS.ARPA id a015642; 6 Mar 85 23:03 EST Received: from MIT-OZ by MIT-MC via Chaosnet; 03/06/85 23:02:30 Date: Wed 6 Mar 85 23:02:27-EST From: "Andrew M.

If it was your memory the next question becomes does the disk-1 even recognize waitstates on the bus? An acquaintence at one of the local computer clubs spent a long time developing a set of PALs (Programmable Array Logic) that could fully implement the IEEE TMA (DMA to the rest of the world) spec that did take into account external ready from the destination or source memory addresses. If done in individual chips the circuit would have been quite large (he estimates 15 to 20 packages) I have heard that the problems with Dynamic Ram and DMA were one of the most hotly debated subjects at the IEEE-696 meetings. And the end result was a workable solution but not many DRAM boards at the time met them. --Chuck -- - - - D I S C L A I M E R - - - {ihnp4,fortune}!dual\ All opinions expressed herein are my {qantel,idi}-> !intelca!cem own and not those of my employer, my {ucbvax,hao}!hplabs/ friends, or my avocado plant. :-} 8-Mar-85 10:32:51-MST,2995;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from AMSAA by SIMTEL20.ARPA with TCP; Fri 8 Mar 85 10:32:36-MST Received: from ut-ngp.arpa by AMSAA.ARPA id a009580; 8 Mar 85 11:42 EST Date: Thu, 7 Mar 85 20:23:21 cst From: "riggs, austen" Posted-Date: Thu, 7 Mar 85 20:23:21 cst Message-Id: <8503080223.AA11284@ut-ngp.ARPA> Received: by ut-ngp.ARPA (4.22/4.22) id AA11284; Thu, 7 Mar 85 20:23:21 cst To: info-cpm@AMSAA.ARPA Subject: ramdisk on kaypro's Cc: garey@UT-NGP.ARPA I've seen both the SWP co-88 board and the Microsphere board in action. I prefer the Microsphere board. You can by the board sans RAM's for about $200 and right now 256K rams can be bought for about $10 each so that one megabyte ram is about $320. This gives you a 1 meg ramdisk with built in print buffer for about $520. Also the board is mounted in a box externally (my friend put it inside the kaypro though), connected through the parallel port, and provides a new parallel port for the printer hook-up. Also there is a provision for hooking it up to a separate power supply so you can turn off your kaypro without turning off the ramdisk. The SWP board goes inside the kaypro, mounted behind the drives. It attaches through a piggyback board on the Z80 socket, so this may preclude other upgrades that connect in the same way. The board is limited to 256K ram, which isn't enough to interest me (I have 2 800K floppies). The 8088 coprocessor is allright, but because of limitations of the kaypro as a terminal it can run very little ms-dos software. I have a friend that managed to get most of a C compiler working on it but a utility package that came with the compiler wouldn,t run. if you want to mess around a little with ms-dos, and don't mind a small (256K) ram disk, the SWP board would be ok, but so far it is unexpandable, and of 4 people I know with it, none are at all happy with its performance as a coprocessor running ms-dos. I HAVE A QUESTION NOW-------- Has anyone out there managed to get a hard disk running on a Kaypro? I'm about to attempt it. There is a company called HDS out in California that sells an adapter that goes in the Z80 socket and provides a SASI interface for a hard disk. The price is $95 and supposedly includes the BIOS patch and formatting software etc. The trouble is I've called them 3 times so far. Each time I get an answering service and am promised that HDS will call me back later and they never have. i'm not sure I want to deal with a company like that at all, but if their adapter works then for $250 (for a Western digital Hard Disk controller), and $200 to $400 for a 10 mbyte hard disk, plus $50 or so for cables and a power supply adds up to $650-$750 for the set-up, less if I use the $75 5 Meg disks available. Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences to relate about putting a hard disk on a Kaypro?

P. Miller" To: INFO-CPM@MIT-MC.ARPA The subject of this bug(?) report is CATLOG as found on SIMTEL. We have been using the catalog series for many years and have had little difficulty with any of the utilities found within. Until now, that is. It seems that when creating very large MAST.CAT files (in excess of 2500 entries - 70K or thereabouts), that XCAT fails to do its job correctly. The symptom is that after reporting +/- 1200 entries, or 32K worth, of data, XCAT quits! This is happening to me and to one or two others in the DC area who have created large catalogs of their col- lections; in excess of 32K. What is happening? Is there an equate or piece of code that must be changed to permit XCAT to be fully functional on 32K+ files?? Upon l
