Using the PCI Catweasel in a Mac

Be sure to start with the latest version; I just released v3.2 yesterday. Here are the challenges I see: - You need to scan the PCI bus for the card. I have two sets of routines in the code for that, one that uses an interface provided by Linux, one that calls into the PCI BIOS for use in the MS-DOS version of the tools. You'll probably need a third set for the BSD-based MacOS X. Hopefully it provides such routines. - You need to persuade the OS to let you access the hardware directly. If you can't do that, you'll need to restructure things so that the code that accesses the hardware is properly isolated in a device driver. - If there's too much else running on the machine, a couple of places where I spin waiting for something to happen may miss the event. This probably won't be a problem, especially if you use the default index hole to index hole reading mode, which waits for the index hole in hardware. Once you're done I'd like to look at folding your changes into my version. -- Tim Mann tim(a)tim-mann.org http://www.tim-mann.org/

Strange problem with HP 9100A

by swperk＠earthlink.net

Hello, I just acquired an HP 9100A in great condition with no signs of abuse but it has a strange problem: although the numeric input keys and four functions work fine, the transcendentals and other keys on the leftmost pad do unexpected things. When in the radian mode, many of the keys (like sin x, cos x, tan x, e^x) perform an x<>y, but even more strangely, in the degree mode pressing these same keys blanks the display and hangs the machine. After such a hang, when I cycle power the display lights up with 9.999999999 99 in the x register. Also, storage registers a, c, e, and f seem to work fine, but registers b and d return bizarre values. I've examined the machine thoroughly and find nothing obviously wrong or missing. I've reseated all of the cards, but to no avail. When I enter the program mode, pressing each key seems (on cursory inspection) to produce the correct key code. Any ideas? TIA, Stan

ASSISTANCE NEEDED (fwd) ?JUNK MAIL?

by dwightk.elvey＠amd.com

Hi The older archives can be found with a web search. Once found, it is simple to harvest email addresses. I don't think I got this one yet but then, they all look the same. For a while, you could just look for $20.5M but over time they have varied the amount. Dwight >From: "Fred N. van Kempen" <waltje(a)pdp11.nl> > >This email address is ONLY used for cctalk.

I presume you are aware there is a financial dispute between my family ( THEMOBUTUS ) and the present civilian Government. This is based on what they believe as bad and corrupt governance on my late father's part. May his soul rest in perfect peace. As you might have heard how a lot of my father's bank account in Switzerland and North America have been frozen. Following the above named reasons, I am soliciting for your humble and confidential assistance to take custody of THIRTY Million United States Dollars ( US$30,000,000.00 ), also to front for me in the areas of business you desire profitable. > ><blah deleted, the usual crap>

Sound for DOS games on modern hardware?

by rhahm＠nycap.rr.com

Here is what I did: Built a pure DOS rig that shares mouse, keyboard, and monitor with my P4 sytem via a KVM switch and patches into my Creative amp. Believe it or not it took a long time to build the perfect DOS machine (for me). My requirements were a system running Dos 6.2 with Dosshell and Win 3.1 that had sound and could let me play Red Storm Rising, the best game I have ever played on the PC. That machine is currently a Gateway 486DX66 with a SB32 AWE non plug and play ISA sound card, 12xCDROM, 5.25 and 3.5" floppies, and HD. Gateway has specs for the MB jumpers on all their older systems on their web site which was a great help. This MB has PS2 connectors for the mouse and keyboard which makes it simple to connect to the KVM switch. I also am using an ISA Promise HD controller that allows the systems bios to use a HD greater then 1G. Built it for cheap from parts found on eBay. The first system I built was a Pentium 233mmx with ISA and PCI slots but RSR and some other older Dos games would not run and the plug and play stuff was a nightmare for sound with DOS and Win3.1.

Teac FD-55GFR 5 1/4" Drive

by Jeffrey.Hoke＠rrb.gov

Hi - I am trying to install a Teac FD-55GFR 5 1/4" drive into a Pentium 200 mhz computer. Upon trying to read the drive I get a "General Failure Trying To Read Drive A" error message. I have the drive connected to the end of the ribbon cable, and the drive is designated as drive A. Also, I noticed that there are some switches (I forgot what they are called - upright posts where you couple a pair together using a U-shaped something or another) on the bottom of the drive. How should these switches be set? Also, could my problem be that I am not using a correct BIOS? Thanks for all of your help.
