|
I'd be more inclined to have two DRIVES - that may be how I expand
|
|
and speed up my high-end system at home - currently it has an old 170M
|
|
Priam 519, which I've RLL'ed to 230M, but it is kind of slow. I see
|
|
no point in mirroring - after all you get more disk space to have more
|
|
disk space. I'm coming from 120M (quite full) to 160M, and was just
|
|
wondering.
|
|
My main problem is I just LOVE TREEVIEW, but treeview was written in
|
|
the DOS 3.3 days, and uses a small-model C allowing only 2515 directory
|
|
entries per screen (23 bytes each or what ever, divided into 64K seg).
|
|
Sorry to hear you loost your 1144! Always bugs me to hear that someone
|
|
running the same thing I do loost the drive!
|
|
> I remember back in '77 when we had 10M drives.
|
|
Seriously? I had 8M in perhaps 79 or 80 or 81. 10 was unheard of for
|
|
hobbyists until the XT in 84 or so as I recall.??.??
|
|
Sorry for ribbing you - loose is "to not be tight", lose it to "not have".

|

Yup, there are some very strange static stories. I once did a
|
|
consulting job for a company that wanted to make sure that when they changed
|
|
from fluorocarbon to organic charged sprays that the cans wouldn't explode
|
|
during manufacture or use. Researching for the job it became clear that you
|
|
can get a static discharge from almost anything, believe it or not, steam can
|
|
be a source of static electricity. One time when I was in LA and the Santa
|
|
Anna winds were blowing, I was outside walking and touched a light pole.
|
|
I got a terrific static discharge. I blamed it on the fact that the humidity
|
|
was near zero, and I was wearing rubber crepe soled shoes.

I just replaced a Western Digital 120 Meg IDE drive (Caviar 2120) with a
|
|
WD 200 Meg IDE drive (Piranha 4200). I immediately noticed that the new drive
|
|
was louder when the heads were "seeking" than the old drive. Since its
|
|
hard to quantify sound, I guess it sounds about twice as loud as the old
|
|
drives "seeking" sound. Since my experience is limited with these drives,
|
|
can anyone tell me if what I am hearing is normal. (This is definitely not
|
|
a bearing noise.)

|

Sure there are lots of software available for the C128. For one, you have
|
|
lots of CP/M software available to run on it. Plus you can run any C64
|
|
software program as well. Then there is GEOS (graphic operating system)
|
|
which works very much like a MAC. But the best software are those that runs
|
|
in C128's 80 column mode. Desterm v2.0 for communications, The Write Stuff
|
|
v2.0 for word processing, SwiftCalc 128 for spreadsheets, and dBASE for
|
|
database work. Any questions?

to MURRAY ARNOW re: R/HARD DISK NOISE
|
|
|
|
Contrary to most situations, I've more or less come to ignore all but
|
|
the most outrageous of HD sounds, though of course a significant CHANGE
|
|
in sound can be another matter. At the moment, I have a couple of HDs in
|
|
a machine that mostly functions as a fax computer. It is left on at all
|
|
times and occasionally makes a positively screaming sound which disappears
|
|
in short order. It's loud enough to hear almost anywhere on the premises
|
|
yet hasn't given a hint of trouble since the drives were installed years
|
|
ago....In any case, comparing the sound of a specific HD against another
|
|
brand shouldn't lead to any concern just because they are different. I
|
|
might offer one other experience. I have Seagate 225s in two different
|
|
computers, one of which is discernably noisier than the other, yet both
|
|
have functioned flawlessly for years. And each is MANY times louder than a
|
|
different HD I have in another machine--which I am entirely unable to
|
|
hear.

to ALL re: HOW TO COMBINE SYNCS (H&V)
|
|
|
|
I need help or documentation on combining the horizontal and vertical
|
|
sync signals found on ega/ vga cards into a single signal that can
|
|
be fed into a monitor that only takes R-G-B and SYNC, which is a
|
|
combined signal. IT will also allow for one sync to come in with the
|
|
green, but again I do not know of a way to mix these two signals. So
|
|
far I have tried combining horizontal and vertical syncs using a
|
|
small capacitor to provide isolation but that did not work.
|
|
I have left other details in a prior message # 45225.
