To: northstar-users@simtel20.ARPA Message-Id: <870319143334.1.ROBERTS@BARBARA.lanl.gov> Are there any N* users left out there? The mailing list seems pretty quiet! I'm looking for a CP/M spelling checker to run on my old Horizon II. Does anybody know where one might exist (share-ware, perhaps)? Lets here some chatter out there!

The box contains a 20-meg hard drive and a 5.25" half-height Shugart disk drive. I'm not sure, but I think the system is running ZCPR3. My problem --> I can't seem to get the floppy to SYSGEN a new disk. Each time I try it, the disk is accessed, then the terminal displays the message; T 5 D 1 S 0000. If I put in another disk, the only thing that changes is the number after the "T". I thought the problem might be that the system could not write to the disk, but just PIPing files works ok. Since the system came without manuals, I have a few questions. 1. Does a standard SYSGEN for CP/M work with ZCPR3? 2. Does T 5 D 1 S 0000 mean Track 5 Disk 1 Sector 0000? Is there anything I can do to continue the operation after this message appears? (So far, only ^C, which returns to the operating system, and RETURN, which repeats the message, seems to do anything.) 3. Does anyone know where I can get some manuals for this computer? Any information I could get would be greatly appreciated. Doug Klopfenstein uw-beaver!fluke!doctor John Fluke Mfg. allegra!fluke!doctor Everett, WA (206)356-5232 > work (206)784-3574 > home
