Dennis -*- 86948 21-APR 22:44 General Information RE: Printers (Re: Msg 86938) From: MROWEN01 To: CPERRAULT It's not complicated at all if we're talking about powering the S/P from an external power source. Normally a voltage is supplied on the parallel port of a printer that is used to power the interface. The Epson printers and some others lack this voltage. All you have to do is connect a ground and a DC voltage to the pin that normally get's power from the printer. I would have to look to remember which pin it is. 18 comes to mind, but I'm not sure. -Mike -*- 86949 21-APR 22:46 General Information RE: Printers (Re: Msg 86935) From: COCOKIWI To: LMCCLURE I found a LAZER PRINTER under $500....the LX-9400 SHARP.....

I toyed with a BJ-200 tonight, and I think I'm going with it. It has built in Epson emulation and 360dpi like the Epsons I've looked at. I like the smaller foot print this model has as well. The only HPs I could find were the color models. The bubble jet can be packed up in short order. I even considered the HP personal jet portable, but it was to slow for my taste. I want an ink jet because I need to produce proffesional quality manuscripts. Lasers are getting cheaper, but the inkjet will do nicely. -Mike -*- 86962 22-APR 20:55 General Information RE: Printers (Re: Msg 86942) From: CPERRAULT To: JRUPPEL Thanks john, I'll keep an eye out for it. :-) >Chris< -*- 86963 22-APR 20:56 General Information RE: Printers (Re: Msg 86948) From: CPERRAULT To: MROWEN01 (NR) Yep 18 is the one. >Chris< -*- End of Thread. -*- 86939 21-APR 19:01 General Information RE: MFM Hard drive (Re: Msg 86915) From: CPERRAULT To: MROWEN01 Mike, is that the 20 meg drive?

Sedgewick, 2nd. edition, does indeed have a Pascal version of heapsort (at least mine does). Pages 148 through 161 talk about the heap data structure and auxillary functions for the heapsort. The sort itself is on page 156. I would suspect that a local libary would have the book, or the library of the nearest college. If you still can't find it I can type the code in and mail you a copy.

Electrified Discounters has NEC MultiSyncII monitors (renewed, with 90 day warranty) for only $169! It is 14", .31 dot pitch, syncs to CGA,EGA, VGA, and mono TTL signals.

Shipping extra, of course. -*- 86954 22-APR 00:01 Telecom (6809) RE: composite monitor (Re: Msg 86930) From: WDTV5 To: CHARLESAM I'd be willing to bet that my nitro'd drivers will run in your pboosted system. I forgot to mention theres another module that also goes into the bootfile in addition to the two descriptors, its "wpdrv" and is basicly the co80 code plus a co-module front end thats about another $20 bytes. And theres one other possible gotcha to running the exact same drivers I am, the horizontal sweep speed of the monitor. Mine is running at about (here I fire up the scope and measure it) 18.28 khz. This is a bit faster than a regular pack will run it at. Its controlled by the software initialization of the chip, and the reason for it is that it gets rid of all that wasted border space, using the full screen width and height minus about 1/4" on each side. The defaults lleave about an inch all around and waste a lot of screen space in so doing. The typical monitor like a Magnavox "PC MONITOR 80" doesn't mind it a bit, mine has been running like that now since 1986, 8 years! Sometimes 3-4 days at a time. The horizontal sweep being that fast is however in all probability an internal adjustment though. The typical rear panel horizontal hold just doesn't have that much range. I never did write up the exact locations and effects of all those "init" bytes but I can look in my wordpack docs and figure it out from there if we have to change anything. This could get even longer, and more boring to those so unlucky as to not have a wordpack, or slot space for it, so lets do it in mail.

I knew we would need new software but did not realize that the 31.5 HZ sync was associated with those weird dimensions of the image. For the sake of clearing my head further, could you explain this? In the Kwindows docs provided by Mike Sweet one can find a description of the window display type call (1b 20). Parameters 0a and 0b are said to produce a 640X480X16 (VGA) and 320X480X256 (VGA) screen respectively. In fact these parameters dont work with the call but were they intended to use the 31.5 HZ sync? I figured they were and had been switched off to protect us destroying our Maggie/Radio Shack monitors. The docs do not suggest that these "VGA" modes are interlaced. Is Kwindows ahead of the hardware here?

Does anyone know of any problems with the _ss_play command? Could it just be that _ss_play can be affected by the CPU having a pretty heavy workload? I doubt the latter, since I've never noticed such a phenomenon when running any (with the exception of one) of the several digitzed sound players we have available.
