Hello -
I got your email address from a websearch - you seen to know
about the Quadram Quadboard.
I have a "Golden Quadboard", what the difference is between this
and the regular variety - I don't know.
However, I'd really like to be able to use the real time clock,
is there a setclock program, and a readclock that sets the DOS
clock from the board at bootup?
Do you have any idea where I could get programs like these?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanx!

Hi Fred: You Wrote:Trantor was bought out by Adaptec. You might try them.
There were three models that I'm aware of:
T338 (rectangular thin box) that hangs off of the parallel port, or screw
it on so that it gets enough leverage to break the connector. The black
labelled earlier sub-model is significantly less reliablke than the later
blue labelled one. Also marketed briefly through NEC (they once had the
drivers on the web)
T348 cable based model.
T358 cable based model with ECP/EPP support
NONE of them are very reliable; but it's a handy way to hook things up to
laptops, etc that don't have provision for a "real" SCSI controller.
Would you like me to snail mail a copy of the disk? Or would you prefer
e-mail attachment?
COULD YOU KINDLY SEND ME THAT DRIVER AS AN ATTACHMENT IN REPLYIN TO THIS EMAIL? THANKS Doug Crosdale

I am in need of software for the UP200 programmer. LMK if you have it and
could send me a copy via email. Just picked up a unit and want to get
programming.
Thanks,
Stan

You've already gotten an answer from others on the
list on this. LOL!

A rule of thumb I use, but I won't swear is
universal... Is the LED color. USUALLY... Red LED
signifies 360k/180k Drives, and a Green LED signifies
1.2mb Drives.
And I also think that as for IBM Drives, the 360k at
one point were made with and Asterisk molded into the
front case. I could have this reverse. But, I seem to
remember some discussion (perhaps here) that someone
thought it was odd that IBM would start adding the
asterisk to 360k Drives, hence having some with and
some without, rather than just making all 1.2mb drives
with asterisks.
I may have this one reversed though.
But, I've used the LED color as a good indicator for
years.
Also, if you look at the jumpers on the logic board,
near the drive select jumpers... A 1.2mb drive should
have a Speed Select Jumper (SS) to select High speed
Data Transfer to work on AT-Standard Floppy
Controllers, and low speed (for what? I don't know...
Maybe to work on an 8in Drive Controller?)
So, that's another indication of whether the drive is
high or low density.

Al Hartman

I was told that Don Maslin can help me with boot disks for some old CP/M
computers. I need boot disks for the following:
Morrow Micro Decision MD 1
Epson QX-10
several different Kaypro models
I tried to make a boot disk for the Morrow using 22disk and the 'STDCPM22'
file at 'www.retroarchive.org'. 22disk did not have a file format for the
Morrow MD 1, so I used the format for the Morrow MD 2. (As far as I have
been able to find out, the MD1 had full height floppy disk drives and the
MD2 had half-height drives, but they were the same capacity). When I tried
to use the floppy to boot the computer, it would spin for about 15 seconds,
then the computer would reboot.
I was making the boot disk on a computer which had a 360K floppy drive.
Thanks!

I'm looking for the Lotus 1-2-3 or Symphony Developer Toolkit from the
1986 timeframe. If you have it, please contact me.
There is a $$$ reward for finding this.

Does anyone know where I can find the installation manual
for the Camintonn CMV-254 memory board. This is a Qbus
Dual board with 1 MByte of memory.
Alternatively, I am actually looking for the CMV-5000 which
is very similar, except that it has a battery backup option along
with EDC capability.
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine

After removing the magnetic disk I use denatured ethyl alcohol and a soft
lintless cotton cloth to wipe it down. Paper towns are too abrasive, use soft
cotton, preferably lintless. Work on top of a cotton cloth also.
If there is dirt or other abrasives I would rinse this off with water and do
the final drying with the alcohol wipe.
I have used a head cleaning diskette jacket as a holder for the truly floppy
disk at this point.
I do not think you can successfully dry out a wet jacket very well, better to
discard it.

I have an old floppy disk drive interface with a dead MC6850P IC in it.
Anyone know of a source for these? MCM, Jameco, and Digikey don't list
them anymore :-(

Well, in the Big Box of Token-Ring Stuff I received a few days ago, there
was one EISA TR adapter, a Compaq Netflex-2 ENET/TR. ENET as in Ethernet,
TR as in token-ring. That's right, this baby apparently can speak ethernet
*and* token-ring! I've been going over Comp^H^H^HHPs site for the last
half-hour, and the only thing I've found out about it is that a part number
is COMX142151, the TR side is an option that I presubably have installed (as
the card has a jumper block on the TR side and not the ENET side), and it
was avaliable on just about everything from the pro-whatever-500 through
the -4500. Does anyone know where I can find the .cfg file for this? Can
it speak ethernet and token-ring at the same time? Is there a manual for it
anywhere?
Thanks!
Bob
