to ALL re: STATIC ZAP AGAIN!
|
|
|
|
Well, it is that time of year again - the dry season in the north -
|
|
and that means static.
|
|
A couple years ago (mebbe '87?) I blew out the serial port of my
|
|
Toshiba T1100+ when I connected the LapLink cable to my desktop - when
|
|
the low power light turned on and I reached in back to plug in the AC
|
|
adapter, I zapped static to the case, and it grounded the only place it
|
|
could find - thru the RS-232 cable.
|
|
My Wizard 5200 hadn't been backed up in a month or so.
|
|
ZZZZZZZZZaaaap.
|
|
Static blew the wizard, AND MY "NEW" T1000 XE serial port! I tried
|
|
hooking the XE via Lap Link to a machine, no go. Tried a commo program
|
|
port to port - it would receive but not send.
|
|
Tried a different machine AND a different Wizard link cable (hoping
|
|
only the cable (which has electronics in it) got zapped - nope, the
|
|
Wizard's xfer circuitry is gone.
|
|
You have one VERY UNHAPPY person here, sigh.
|
|
P.S. I think it zapped because my T1000XE was hooked to the AC supply -
|
|
otherwise there might not have been enough of a ground.
|
|
P.P.S. I noticed my car was zapping me every time I got out of it
|
|
today as I went shopping. Also I reached to turn on a fluorescent in the
|
|
basememt and it FLASHED from the STATIC ZAP before I got to the switch!
|
|
I should be forbidden to work with computers!
|
|
Heck, my sweatshirt is 63% cotton, my pants - I think 100% (jeans)!
|
|
Aaaaaargh

to ALL re: STEPRATE.ZIP: FAST--BUT GOOD?
|
|
|
|
I just downloaded a freeware package called STEPRATE.ZIP, which lets
|
|
you specify a faster (or slower) stepping rate for your floppy drives.
|
|
I doubled the stepping rate on my drives, and it works great.
|
|
The author says as long as you don't get "BAD SECTOR" errors, you can
|
|
run at any speed you want.
|
|
My question is this: Are there any bad side effects of running at
|
|
say, 3 ms stepping rate instead of the 6 ms that an AT system comes with?
|
|
Faster wearout of the stepper gears, quicker loss of head alignment, etc?

Have you tried tying a chain to your ankle, and letting it drag
|
|
on the ground?

|
|
to ROY LIPSCOMB re: R/STEPRATE.ZIP: FAST--BUT GOO
|
|
|
|
When I had my CP/M box as my every-day computer, I had a set of
|
|
Shugart/Panasonic 80T/96TPI drives in there, and I pushed them to
|
|
3 ms.
|
|
When I quit using the box in summer of 90 (put the drives in
|
|
spring of 85), they were still running, though the B: drive was
|
|
a bit tired.
|
|
This was a floppy only machine, so the B: caught hell every day,
|
|
and swam in a sea of dust, dirt and cat hair.
|
|
Took a licking and kept on ticking.

to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/SUB LIBR SYSTEM BACKWARD STE
|
|
|
|
Thanks for the idea of checking the log since the library users are all
|
|
indepedent we have no other way of knowing how much it was used. I have
|
|
spoken with the director of the Suburban Library System to explain the
|
|
problem and to offer any assistance. The guy was honest and said they were
|
|
having problems and frankly user access is desirable but a low priority for
|
|
now. He did promise to call back. I am going to stop by to chat with my
|
|
local library director and I will continue to look for others interested in
|
|
this stuff. With so many good BBS systems around it is hard for me to
|
|
understand why anyone would have the problems the Suburban Library System is
|
|
having?

to ALL re: STEPPER MOTORS?
|
|
|
|
Any suggestions for good books on working with stepper motors will be
|
|
appreciated. I am playing with the idea of satelitte tracking via computer
|
|
and stepper motors.

to ROY LIPSCOMB re: ITRC
|
|
|
|
I'm just coming up for air after submitting a manuscript and
|
|
installing a couple of new software packages. Sorry I haven't had a
|
|
chance to respond to your msg (or those of anyone else, for that
|
|
matter) over on my system. If still interested in my reactions re
|
|
the ITRC, best bet would be a voice call some workday afternoon
|
|
this week: (312) 939-3300.
