Msg 45934 is 06 line(s) on 12/06/92 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to AL HIGGINS re: R/HP DJ500C CARTRIDGES The trick to storing the DJ cart's seems to be preventing them from drying out, without actually touching the nozzle. I'd be inclined to see about maybe some kind of humidity-supplying container if the "real thing" can't be found or made. Yes, I "think" I've seen the color recharge kits, but I don't recall the details. I'll try to check my stored deskjet threads from Compuserve. Msg 45935 is 13 line(s) on 12/06/92 from MICHAEL SHARTIAG to ALL re: AT HOME LAPTOP UPDATES I have been playing with ways of making a Toshiba 1600 with 1 meg ram and a 20 meg hard drive usable i todays software world. Toshiba only offered a 20 or 40 with this particular machine. I have also noticed that almost all manufacturers do not load the drive type tables in the BIOS and do not allow a user definable selecttion. This particular machine has a 20 meg conner in it (IDE 3020 I believe) I should be able to put any IDE drive in to the space provided and if nothing else, get the first 20 meg. Now, if one would use ontrack disk software ( sort of outdated with dos 4.0 , 5.0), you can set up any physical drive to be accessed via the table setting in BOIS. While toshiba was of no help, Ontrack said that I should be able to pull this off, at least via software. Has anyone else tried this, or heard of doing this ??? Msg 45936 is 09 line(s) on 12/06/92 from MICHAEL SHARTIAG to ALL re: HP LASERJET4 & TRUETYPE I have been looking at the LJ4 and have called HP in an attempt to get a handle on the truetype world. First as I see it, truetype basically pr provides a subset of the functionality of postscript, being scalable fonts only. No graphic processing is set it in. I asked HP if additional truetype fonts could be downloaded into the printer. Their response was 'no', that truetype was not downloadable, and that I could either add cartridges with the fonts, or use something like ATM to convert from truetype to bit mapped graphic data and print that. Can someone seperate fact from fiction here ???? Msg 45937 is 08 line(s) on 12/07/92 from ROY LIPSCOMB to WARD/ANDY re: R?DJ500 PROBLEM (!) The cable is an off-the-shelf one I got from Elektek at the same time I bought my DJ500 there. Because I was able print so many pages before the problem sprung up, I thought maybe static was the problem. All those pages rubbing on the platten, maybe. (The cable mentioned above is a six-foot parallel.) Since the DJ works fine with the serial port, I'm not sure I want to risk having anyone monkey with it even though it's under warranty. ("If you're not sure it's broke, you're not sure you should fix it," as they say.) Msg 45938 is 09 line(s) on 12/07/92 from ANDY SHAPIRO to MICHAEL SHARTIAG re: R/AT HOME LAPTOP UPDATES Have you considered disk compression software? If you can put a 40 Meg disk in there, then you could use SuperStore (sp?) or something like that to gain a lot more space (of course, 20 will get you 40, too.). If things go right, you'd be able to load the software above 640, and you'd be set. Note that, since most processors run PDQ, there's really no operations penalty - it's faster to decompress stuff than it is to load it off the disk! I've been using DRDOS (with built-in SUPERSTOR) for most of the past year, and I've had no apparent slowdown. dup. chars. >Function:?
