hinv (was: SGI Reality Monster drives/OS?)

by compoobah＠valleyimplants.com

Sun has (on the Ultras) prtdiag from Solaris, can't recall what IBM has under AIX but it isn't as instructive. Linux has stuff in /proc that lists everything. BTW the Onyx2/Origin2(something) sleds are the same as the Octane sleds.

I've been slowly working my way around to designing a new card to do the same function. FPGAs are fast and affordable and SRAM or fast SDRAM is also affordable in the quantities needed. If any of your documentation is related to hardware design as opposed to user guides and user manuals I would be very grateful if I could get a look at it. One specific thing I've been wondering about is how one implements quickdraw acceleration. Was there an Apple guide to doing this in some of the developer materials, or was it something which each company worked out on their own -- deciding which Quickdraw calls to trap and send to the video card?

Quick survey on equipment

by alhartman＠yahoo.com

The TRS-80 Model I CAN run CP/M. There were several add-on boards that allowed for the swapping in of RAM into the ROM address space. One was called "The Omikron Mapper". And I'm sure there were others. My CP/M Capable list is: LNW-80 Model I Apple IIgs w/CP/M card IBM 5150 XT with CP/M Card Atari-ST (CP/M 68000) Timex/Sinclair 2068 with Timex Portugal Disk System That's it!

It was not standard and dur to that and the small TPA it would not run most appications available. If you had source you could reassemble/compile as needed and then run it for the new 4200h start adresss (nominal is 100H). Allison

Though I've never done it for hardware acceleration purposes, I would think you just need to override some of the standard routines in the QuickDraw bottleneck. StdLine, StdRect, StrRRect, StdOval, StdPoly, StdBits, StdRegion and StdText. The ones you don't need are for reading/writing pictures and picture comments. I have used these to capture data for pen plotters, raster printers and into applications. Alas on OS-X we now need to be able to read PDF - a much more complicated format and proprietary to Adobe, though with the great benefit of platform independence for files.
