Do you have a hard drive?  If so, I would recommend the Shareware program
QModem.  Give it a try.  You can run it on a 360K floppy, but it can be
difficult to run.  I think registration for it is $99, I could be wrong.

If you're trying to use it with DELPHI, it won't work because delphi doesn't
have an offline mail reader program  (I wish it did).  On any BBSs in your
area, most will probably have an offline mail program or door.  You go into
that door, set up for the way you want it, and then download a QWK packet.
When you have read them with SLMR you log back on, and upload your REP packet.

That help you out?

Well ... I learned assembly back in the days of the original IBM PC.
_Structured Programming in Assembly Language for the IBM PC_ by William C.
Runnion.  Taught by a guy who got his doctorate in math from Harvard in
1954.  It was a difficult course, but well worth it.  I have other
references now, though - the Intel _80286 and 80287 Programmer's Reference
Manual_ has a convenient table for looking up seldom-used instructions.

Some of the programs I wrote are on Delphi.  I wrote a device driver for
LIM 4.1 on the Micro Mainframe 5150T and a bunch of programs for the Tandy
DAC on the 1000's (later models) and 2500's (should be on Delphi in a
couple weeks if they don't find a problem with them).  There was a device
driver for the ROM drive on the Tandy 1000's that worked but didn't
accomplish its intended purpose in that DeskMate still wouldn't work with
it on many machines (should be gone soon).  Other stuff for my personal
use, like a little program to convert Unix-type text files to MSDOS (the
ones I found were too big and slow for something so simple) and a program
to use extra video RAM as a RAM drive on the 1000TL (I don't need it
anymore now that I have a hard drive).  Oh, yeah, before that I wrote a TSR
to remap keys - but that was when I was using Procomm, with its miserable
terminal emulations, to access the UMaine mainframe, which needed *all* the
TVI925 keys.

Basically, I just write a program if I need one and can't find one that
does what I need.  And nowadays I try Pascal first.  If Pascal won't cut
it, then I use assembler.  Assembler is good to know - you can peek at
things with Debug, for instance.

Hi Wesley -

True, Delphi doesn't support OLRs like your local BBS would but there are 3
software packages that I know of that will provide a means to read and
respond to Delphi messages off-line.

D-Lite - Available from the D-Lite SIG on Delphi
Scout - Available from the PC SIG database (this one is new and is a windows
        type program and co-authored by our very own Mike aka MISAL)
Rainbow - Not quite sure where it's available but it was brought to Delphi
          from the folks at NVN, that recently went belly-up

So if you're not familar with these packages, you may want to check into
them. They're a tremendous time saver of on-line time, especiallyif you read
a lot of messages.

        Hey everybody,


        I'm thinking about putting together a on-line role-playing magazine
centered around AD&D.  What I would like to do is collect submissions from
various people containing new spells, monsters, magical items, stories, etc.
similar to "Dragon" or "White Dwarf".  Is anybody interested??????

        The magazine would contain no actual programs so it could be used
by everyone of all types of computers although I would have to work up
some kind of format for each type as to make it easy to read (e.g. AmigaGuide
for Amigas, Hypercard for Macs etc.)

        Any types of articles or submissions complete and prefessional or
otherwise would be accepted (with some editing) and EMailed out to a bunch
of people.  (I would keep a list of subscribers Internet addresses).

        Price of the magazine would be 1 submission for a lifetime of
issues.   Almost everyone has a few extra creations lying around.

        If you are interested in such a venture, then leave me a message in
my mailbox.


        Internet address is   PutytheCat@Delphi.com

        Please state the words "Magazine info" as the subject.

You might be right.  The hard drive in it is a 37 meg, and works fine, it could
quite be that a bigger one wouldn't work, I don't know.  I would think that the
limiting factor would be the BIOS rather than the processor, though I could be
wrong there too.  If your machine has dos 6 on it, use dos 6 to format the
drive as a single one (dos 3.3 and earlier, I don't know specific version #'s
requre 27 meg partitions).  I would think your TL would work with a 200 meg hd.
Thinking about it now, someone who has a 1000SL like the one I have put a 65 meg
hd in his computer and it worked.  It's an 8086-8.  I'd think it would work, but
you never can tell for sure.  Hope I have been of help!

Hi, Paul!

   The problem with the 40-meg limit for a hard drive in the 1000TL has to
do with the adapter card, not the DOS version. Most HDs larger than 40 megs
are 16-bit, whereas the TL has 8-bit slots ("XT" rather than "AT"). So, how
is it that I have an 85-meg HD in my TL, in which I still use DOS 3.3? Well,
I got it from DCS Industries, which has worked up a hard disk card combining
an 85-meg HD with a special adapter, from another manufacturer, which allows
use of AT-type hard cards in 8-bit slots. I could use DOS 5 or 6 if I wanted
to. DCS has these cards with drives as large as 425 meg and they are all
IDE drives. I just had to consider what a practical size was for the software
I have accumulated and the size of my budget - also how much longer it might
be before I could afford to buy a newer model computer. So I decided on
85-meg (I had a Tandy 20-meg MFM drive before), and I try to do good
housekeeping on the drive. As it is, I have more software than I have time
to use :-) and I still have about 20% of the space unused. Of course, I have
all the .COMs and .EXEs PKLite'd, but that is another subject that people
like to argue about.

I have a 10mhz 286 in my 1000 TL/3.  I use MS-DOS 6.22 with a 210 meg. IDE
hard drive I bought from DCS.  No problems at all.

MS-DOS 5.0 and higher allow partitions up to 512 meg as I recall.  Other
wise I would have several 30 meg or less partitions.

Dos 6 booted from floppy and allowed me to install it onto the 210 meg
harddrive.

It's kind of a funny story.  In June I ordered the 3.5" high density (hd)
DOS 6.2 stepup from PC-Zone for $9.00.  They shipped 5.25" high density
disks, which refuse to fit in my 3.5" drive.  PC Zone refunded my money and
gave me the 5.25" hd DOS 6.2 stepep they sent to me for my troubles.  I
called Microsoft who told me that because of copyright troubles with stacker
they couldn't give me the 6.2 stepup, but they could send me the just
released 6.22 stepup in 3.5 hd.  So I run DOS 6.22 now and I didn't spend a
dime for it. <Grin>

Unfortunatly my computer can't run windows so I don't know a thing about the
program.

Hi Wesley -

If my memory serves me correctly, UARTs can be programmed to handle up to
156,000 kps so really the only limiting factor is the software and modem
being used.  I think what may be confusing the issue is that with older PCs,
at the time they were built the only kind of modems around were probably
1200s or so and no one even thought about 9600s or beyond.

A side note - it won't be too long before 28,800s will be swamping the
market. :)

6.22 Upgrade to get it tho. I do have a copy of ms-dos 6.2 step-up if you
want it.

Hmmm...I thought that the standard 8250 UART chip can only handle slower speeds.

Now the 16550 UART on the other hand is designed for high-speed aplications.
Have you read the Computer shopper that had the reviews for several 28.8 modems
in it?  They were talking about what they had to do to get a UART that would
work good (a 28.8 with theoretical 4:1 compression is pushing 115,200 baud, and
even higher in some cases.  Too much for my old 8086!

I see, so 6.22 is 6.2 without doublespace.  I would like to have a copy of it
if you'd be willing to send it to me.  I could probably manage to reimburse
you for the shipping cost.

Cya!

I have a friend who had an SX for a while.  The standard memory is upgradeable
to 640K.  I think you should be able to get VGA if you get a card that will
work in an XT computer.  If it doesn't have a hard drive, you might want to
get one as it is very nice to have one.  As for running Windows, unless I am
wrong it takes AT LEAST a 286, and the SX is an 8088.  Hope this has helped!

Thanks! Looks like this PC is only goiing tyo be usable for simple stuff,
or telecommunications without GUI's.  So I guess that I will cherry it oout
and put in a hard frive, and a modem, and give it away.... :( :(
But anyway it was FREE, plus I had a nice dinner with the former owner.2AUG94-2151 General Information

Yep, simple stuff is about all it'll do.  You're going to give it away?
What's the use to add a hard drive and modem if you're going to give it away?
Oh well...are you going to get a hard card or are you going to take out one
of the 5.25 disk drives in order to install a hard drive?

Cool deal!  Nope, I can't read 3.5HD floppy, I can read 5.25 HD floppy though
That's what the disk drive is of the computer I'm putting it on...

Hi,

        Does anyone have a serial "card" for a tandy 1000 EX that they wanna
sell.  I'm looking for on so I can interface it with my other computer.

                                                Thanks,

Thanx!!!  I'll have to reload a lot of dos 6.0 to do it, but that's the reason
I want it, so I have a complete dos, and complete all of it 6.2!

I think I see what may be the confusing point here. It's not that the 8250
UART can't handle high speeds but rather the problem lies in the software's
ability to read the character from the comport before the next one arrives.
Any UARTs top end is something like 156,000 bps or something like that (I
can't recall the exact figure). I believe the benefit of the 16550 UART is
that it has a buffer area which can hold incoming character data and give
the software enough time to catch up. But it's my understanding that this
buffer doesn't give any added advantage unless the software is coded for it.
So unless you are using software that takes advantage of a 16550 UART, you
aren't doing any better than an 8250 UART.

     Battle Chess
     From: TOMFANN      To: ALL

Does anyone know if Battle Chess runs in 16 colors on a Tandy 1000?  The
box doesn't say, but I could swear I remember seeing it running in a Radio
Shack a few
years ago, when the 1000's were still being sold.  I would like to buy it,
but only if it will be in color on my TL/3 (CM-11 monitor).

Hi Tom,

I used to run Battle Chess on my 1000TX with its CM-11 monitor with no
trouble at all.  It must have been an early version of BC, however, because
when I upgraded the 1000TX with VGA it would no longer run.  It must have
been intended for CGA/EGA.  In any case I no longer have BC --- I gave it
away to the fellow that I gave my CM-11 to.  He was running a monochrome
monitor on an original Tandy 1000.  Since he has two young children I
figured they might enjoy a color monitor until he upgrades his whole system.

I told him, "This old CM-11 works fine --- most of the time.  You might have
to Whup it 'longside the case once in awhile, though!  :-)

Stan
