Thanks everybody for the clear replies.
I removed the bus expansion card (for the external box)
and when I powered up the system again, it just ran fine.
The next step I did was move the RQXD3 to the location
where that bus expansion card was and where the RQDX3
was I inserted a DELQA (M7516). I connected the bulkhead
cable and mounted a 10Base2 transceiver on the AUI connector.
The 10Base2 transceiver has the bare minimum network: just
the T-connector with on both sides 50 Ohms terminators.
The system still boots and runs fine, but I expected to
see the XE: (?) device listed with the $SHOW DEVICES command.
(The system runs Micro/RSX 3.1).
Current config:
slot 1 A/B-C/D : M7554-02 KDJ11, 15 MHz, 1.5 Mb
slot 2 A/B : M3106 4 line EIA MUX
slot 3 A/B : M7546 TQK50
slot 4 A/B : M7516 DELQA
C/D : M7555 RQDX3
all other slots are empty.
Must the system with the new DELQA interface be sys/generated?
Am I doing something wrong?
TIA

Greetings.
I would like to use one of my classic machines to handle all of my email.
Currently, I'm using a Win95 PC. Because it contains classic gear (Voyetra
V-24S 64 port MIDI i/f) as well as brand new stuff (Audiophile 2496 hard
disk recorder), it contains a strange mix of DOS, Win 3.1, Win95, and Win98
drivers. This weirdness is the only way to enable *all* of the stuff in
this box to work together. After four virus attacks in December alone, I
have decided to move my email capability *off* of this box before some
virus catches me off guard. It takes about four hours to wipe and reload
this system and massage all of the drivers until all the hardware is happy;
I would rather avoid this painful task.
So -- how hard would it be for me to handle email on a small, classic
micro? I'd like to use my Z100 running CP/M-86; second choice is my Kaypro
10 (2.2, of course); third choice is the Z100 under ZDOS.
My BellSouth dial-up account does not provide shell accounts, but I see
that there are plenty of free providers out there. Is it possible to get
my classic machine to first connect with my BellSouth dial-up, then log on
to a shell account, and then send mail or retrieve my incoming mail for
offline viewing?
I'd prefer to cobble together some sort of system using other people's
software, but I am a programmer and can write stuff in C or assembler if
need be. Please bear in mind, though, that I have no knowledge of the
internal workings of TCP/IP, Telnet, POP3, etc., and I don't really want to
spend three months learning the protocols and writing and debugging the
code -- but I will if I have to.
Feedback from the list members concerning this idea would be greatly
appreciated.

I'm with you 100 percent.

My typing skills are about the same as yours, and, to complicate things, my
eyes are going, making it much harder to catch errors.
Getting old is hell, but it beats the alternative ;>)

Hi.
I picked up a 35lb load of mostly Mac-related cast-offs last night,
and scored many cool objets de junque.
The 2 things I can't really identify are a Panasonic Easa-Phone,
KX-T1225 which seems to be a speed-dialer of some sort. The other is a
cable with a (Doc ducks & prepares to rub) 36-pin Centronics connector,
plus eyelet ground, on one end and a female card-edge connector on the
other. The shrouds are steel, squared, and embossed "TANDY" on both
ends. While I've never seen one, I'm guessing it's a Tandy printer
cable.
The rest of the haul is mostly OT, but see gimme list below:
working SyQuest 88MB drive & some cartridges
cordless 3-button mouse
a whole bag of the fabled 800K floppies
2 copies of FWB's Hard Disk Toolkit (one is even on-topic, I think.
System 6.0 bootable disk) The newer version came with docs
CharisMac Anubis that I can't date, but there's NO version info in the
docs, copyright is 1989-1996
Astarte Toast CD-ROM Pro v3, in original box but no docs
Adobe PageMill v2.0, no docs no key
Adobe Photo Deluxe no docs
Adobe Illustator v6 no docs no key (Waahhh!!!)
A couple of NuBus ethernet adapters, one with its right-angle adapter
A loose right-angle NuBus adapters with *2* female connectors
several Apple-AUI/10B2 transceivers
14400 (no AC adapter) SupraFax modem (needs 9V AC PSU)
33.6 SupraExpress modem with all its parts
GeoPort Telecom Adapter - first one I've found in the wild
2 28.8 SupraExpress modems, intact
1998 revision of the "Mac Upgrade and Repair Bible" with its CD.
Not bad for free. The transceivers, the 14.4 modem, the Tandy cable
and all the NuBus cards are all up for adoption; the rest is probably
available for trade if you need something.
All this because I gave $35 for a PowerBook 145B I didn't want and the
QuickTake 150 (with all its docs, disks, and a NIB Battery Booster Pack)
that I did want last week. Yee Haw.
Doc
I'm interested in the rc-25's that you have listed. I'm located in Klamath
Falls, Oregon and am willing to pay freight and shipping costs for them. I
have lost a drive head in mine and would like the two that you have for parts.
Please give me a call 1-800-289-2093 regarding this matter.
Thank you,
Jerry

If you know how to program it, or have some software to do it, you could
clear an area in memory, get it to DMA some data in, and then look at the
memory again.

That's almost certainly what's wrong. The software probably checks for the
presence of a device at the address(es) it expects for the ADV11; that's
very easy to do (just set up a trap handler in case it causes a bus
timeout, then try to read from the address. If it doesn't cause a trap,
the device is there.)
The standard adresses for an ADV11 are 170400 for the CSR and 170402 for
the Data Buffer Register. The standard addresses for a DRV11 are 167770
for CSR, and 167772 and 167774 for the OUTBUF and INBUF registers.
If you haven't got an ADV11, I can think of three options open to you:
1) get an ADV11
2) get a 3rd party equivalent, such as an ADAC card
3) use some other device, set it to the ADV11 addresses, and hope you
fool the software

Actually that looks to be a very good price for a 11/83-84 J11 18MHz CPU.

Greetings folks;
Someone was kind enough to copy a manual for the Heathkit ET3400
microprocessor trainer for me. NOT complaining, but it was single sided
copy, and I'm anal so I went and copied it from single sided to dual sided 3
hole paper for myself. As a result, I have a single sided copy left over
that is free to anyone that wants it for the cost of mailing.
It is not a 100% complete manual, but the pages that are missing were
skipped intentionally as they were far from essential. I'm a stickler for
that sort of thing and I can assure you the missing pages won't dissapoint
you.
If someone wants it, speak up or the duplicate will probably go into the
trash.
Regards,
Jay West
This is becoming a pretty silly thread because there can be
understanding
without proper grammer ; if we are being technical here. Sure there is
meaning,
u just dont understand it.
The real story here is this is pretty much a none issue since what i
am saying and pretty much what everyone is saying here, is just to enjoy a
hobby. To worry about someones ideas to the point that it bothers u defeats
the purpose of a hobby; to have fun or to enjoy yourself. If you cant
understand something ; it doesnt matter. This is not a business or the F.B.I
; it is just a hobby.
I get your point. I do use a lot of shorthand and because this is a
hobby
i dont focus very much on my grammer. If u see me post then dont read it.
That is all that i have to say about this matter.
joee
P.S i hope the grammer helps you understand this.
