Logical error, of course, since they seem to be *almost* synonymous in effect. One flows, the other is static. I wonder why we have stopped using oplog. Kind of separates the more personal "staff" messages from the stuff left by the public, not to mention the untwitted twits. I check both logs first at each logon.

Msg 42259 is 14 line(s) on 08/10/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to SCOTT TEIPE re: R/GOOD NUMBERS I'm confused - "reviews of the ddials"? "W/B"? "Rocco"? At any rate, I believe you are talking something about the list of BBS's that CBBS RE (emphasis on "RE") RE-prints. We are not the source. It is like a syndicated column - the columnist controls the contents, not the newspaper it is printed in. I WILL out of "social responsibility" delete, almost immediately, any number which is mis-printed so that it might wake someone up in the middle of the night - having had my own VOICE number published many times, I "sympathize". But I am NOT the source for MAINTAINING the list. That is just more effort than there are hours in the day for me to do. If this msg were time stamped, you'd see it was entered at 1:00 in the morning, and my alarm goes off to start the next day at 5:50. Thanks, I know you mean well, but address your comments to Stillwell (sorry if I got that name wrong).

Msg 42261 is 02 line(s) on 08/11/89 from ROGER PAULSON to RICHARD GOZDAL re: R/STORES/ PROBLEMS. The Phoenix is a superb BIOS, but these are 80286 BIOS chips. You need the single chip for the XT. KNow anyone wanting to upgrade their AT? Msg 42262 is 16 line(s) on 08/11/89 from ROGER PAULSON to ALL re: BOCA BOARD ARRRRGGGGHHHH! Remember what I said about the Boca ram expansion board? Forget it. After working with the tech reps for hours and trying everything we could think of, the board (8meg Boca board) DOES NOT WORK. I'm going back to Wholesale Computer (in Wheeling) on Monday to get my money back. The salesman assured me he would have a check waiting. After all the hassle and number of weeks, I hope so. (I'll let you know) I checked several manufacturers and settled on an Everex 10000. It is a LIM 4.0 10meg board that uses 1x1 drams. It has all of the features of the Boca board and was guaranteed by the Everex reps to work. Maybe by this time next week, I'll truly be a happy camper. -Rog Msg 42263 is 06 line(s) on 08/11/89 from MARK WATERBURY to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: XMODEM OR MODEM7 FOR CP/M Any ideas where to get a copy of MODEM7 or XMODEM for CP-M running on an old Heath/Zenith H-89 computer running CP/M with H37 Soft Sector controller and dual 5 1/4" 360K floppies? Suggestions would be welcome. Also, any ideas of where to get WordStar or DBaseII that would run on that machine would also be welcome. I am willing to buy the software. Thanks Msg 42264 is 03 line(s) on 08/11/89 from RICHARD GOZDAL to ROGER PAULSON re: R/STORES/ PROBLEMS. I know someone who MIGHT want the chips but he is on an extended vacation off in the world of travel now. Won't be back for maybe 4-6 weeks. There is always the CACHEFEST the 20th at DeVry! Msg 42265 is 18 line(s) on 08/11/89 from RICHARD GOZDAL to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/3 1/2 " DRIVES The tech info on the 3 1/2 disks is enough to make me stay away from MEI for medium quality disks. there's are rated at 600. I think I got in over my head with this 386. Now I have to read whatever I overlooked on extended memory. The docs are OK but that is if I want ot run software for adding stuff. I need a RAM disk. Might have to see if I have one of those for extended memory in my files. I have 2 meg and am totally confused with using the rest of the 1st meg. I almost would use one of the pgms to raise the 640K to 7XX+K but don't want to screw up the memory for the VGA or programming. What a mess! The computer runs so fast I am MORE lost. How long does it take to see the blurrs on the screen as meaning something?! Would a program allow me to merge the rest of the 1st meg with some of the 2nd meg of memory for a RAM drive? What I read now seem to imply it has to be chnaged over to expanded memory first. Guess I HAVE to get to the CACHE FEST and see what I missed out on for months. Msg 42266 is 13 line(s) on 08/11/89 from JIM POLOUS to ALL re: DISKETTE QUESTION As long as everyone is talking about the technical aspects of diskettes, I have a question to pose. But first let me illustrate what I've tried: 1. Format a DS/DD disk to 360K - Works fine, like it's supposed to. 2. Format a DS/DD disk to 1.2M - Works fine.f* (90% of the time) 3. Format a DS/HD disk to 1.2M - Works fine, like it's supposed to. 4. Format a DS/HD disk to 360K on 1.2M drive - Track 0 bad, disk unusable 5. Format a DS/HD disk to 360K on 360K drive - Works fine 6. Format a 3.5" DS/HD to 1.4M - Fine, like its supposed to 7. Format a 3.5" DS/HD to 720K - Track 0 bad, disk unusable ->Why does track 0 seem bad to the computer on HD disks when formatting them at the low density. In addition, when using a utility like PCTOOLS to format differf*ent densities, it seems that the error occurs on Head 1, but Head 0 is fine (for the first track). Any ideas? dup. chars. >Function:?
