I understand that. We had a similar problem with a company that recently
|
|
went under, Wells American in West Columbia, South Carolina. We ordered one
|
|
of their CompuStar 2000 386 machines with a convertible bus. Supposedly it
|
|
was supposed to have ISA, EISA, and MCA buss expansion boxes available
|
|
for it. We wanted to use it as a backup for our PS/2 file server, but
|
|
as luck would have it, it didn't have it built in, the "MCA expansion
|
|
unit was forever on backorder" and they used proprietary disk drive
|
|
holders (they didn't use rails, rather they used a plate which screwed
|
|
on to the bottom of a 1/4th height - yes it was 1/4th height 5.25" disk
|
|
drive. These parts could not be purchased anywhere. And although a national
|
|
company serviced the machines and could get the parts, they could not sell
|
|
them to the end user. When I called up and requested one, they sent me
|
|
the front cover to a 3.5" disk drive and some screws that fit absolutely
|
|
nothing on the computer. I finally send the computer back and a very
|
|
nasty letter on company stationary telling them that we cannot deal with
|
|
any companies that treat corporate customers in that way. I send it back.
|
|
We had no more problems as we were not even invoiced at the time.
|
|
We now have a very reputable and friendly "account executive" (salesman)
|
|
from M.I.S. Computers. We get over 80% of our hardware and software from
|
|
him. His name is Guy Gross and the company's phone is 312-772-1200.
|
|
He really goes out of his way for customer service.

to ALL re: FIFO UART?
|
|
|
|
What's this fifo uart (the one with 16 char built-in buffer)?
|
|
When I run 9600 baud into CBBS or Chinet, I lose characters due to
|
|
my cache. I can't do anything about the cache - it is tied to my
|
|
unique motherboard (Bullet).
|
|
I'm thinking that if my serial port uses a standard uart, and that if
|
|
it is the one that is available in replacement form, that might solve
|
|
my problems.
|
|
Thanks for any ideas!

to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/FIFO UART?
|
|
|
|
Look into the NS16550 chip. It's supposed to be a plug-in replacement
|
|
for the 8250 and 16450 (although I seem to remember reading one BBS
|
|
message once that said you had to pull a pin or something, I can't find
|
|
any evidence of such a thing any more). The FIFO only works when the
|
|
software driving the chip knows it's there and knows how to program it,
|
|
but more and more stuff these days can handle it. I'm reasonably sure
|
|
your Pro-YAM has the smarts to do it, as Forsberg's stuff seems to in
|
|
general.

|
|
In the next few days I'll have a few bucks and will be able to get
|
|
a new hard drive. I'm looking for something that's not too big, but is
|
|
as fast as I can afford; figure less than $500-600. Currently using
|
|
a WD1003 controller (MFM, 2:1, ST506), so include cost of controller if
|
|
it's RLL or IDE or otherwise won't work with the WD1003.
|
|
Best I've found so far is a 65 MB Mitsubishi, 23 ms, at $359. Don't
|
|
know if that needs a different controller. Can anyone offer a better
|
|
suggestion?

Anyone have any comments, good OR bad, about Mitsubishi drives?
|

Specifically, I'm eyeing a 65 MB, 23 ms drive of theirs that's selling

mail-order at $359.

I have a client who has been using an Alpha Micro point of sale
|
|
terminal system with AMOS (Alpha Micro OS). Anybody local here
|
|
know to be able to intelligently consult with respect to same?
|
|
They were working with someone in Florida who set this up down
|
|
there and then handed them off to someone in Jersey (New not old),
|
|
and would like to talk to someone independent of the operation
|
|
before expanding and adding to it.

Best response to me days 312-726-3555 (Chicago). Thanks.
