My next question was going to be about filters, so it's good to see that at least one provides filtering capability.

Avi, Actually the FIFO buffer is not part of the modem but part of the UART. With a PCMCIA modem they are packaged together, otherwise the UART is part of the LX's serial port hardware. The buffer cannot be controlled via the modem's "AT" commands; it should be handled earlier when the serial port is first contacted by the program. If WWW/LX is interested in extra reliable communication then it should test for the large buffer and use it if found to reduce the chance of dropping characters. I believe the code to test for and activate the larger buffer is pretty simple. This doesn't matter to me (much) as I use an external modem and therefore have to use the LX's UART which doesn't have the better UART. Cheers...

This should help in any case because it no longer needs an interrupt for each single byte." so it would seem WWW/LX does support the buffer on 16550s. Getting back to 16450 uarts, I seem to recall back when the 16550 modems were still expensive, that some 16450 models were implementing a FIFO buffer in software. So for external modems on the LXs serial port, couldn't one run a FIFO buffer TSR prior to the comm software?

In www.cfg you can add a line FIFO=1 (or 0) to every setup. I think that is the way to tell www/lx that there is or is not a FIFO. Right?

Novosad" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Stephan R. Novosad" Subject: Re: Palmtop uses a 16450 UART Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi, I ran some tests on my single speed 200LX to add to the confusion. The book, "The Undocumented PC" by Frank van Gilluwe, comes with software to determine the type of UART and the maximum transfer rate of a connection between two computers. The detection program says that the UART is an 8250A or a 16450, which are functionally the same, except for improved performance in the 16450. Of course the 200LX should have a clone of the 16450 given its date of birth. The maximum transfer rate program had to be modified slightly to work. He uses a strange null modem wiring, so I had to change some tests to correspond to my HP cable. Also, some handshaking between the destop and the palmtop needed an additional delay (on the desktop) to avoid problems. Transfer to the desktop, all baud rates up to 115,200 worked properly. Transfer to the HP, transfers up to 19,200 worked, 38,400 baud failed. This is a brute force test. It deliberately tries to overrun the receiver to test the capabilites of the UART/computer system. As such, it shows the practical limits of the connection under test. You can use higher baud rates successfully, if a flow control protocal is implemented. But you won't get any appreciable change in the amount of data transfered.

You could also try some version of Word for DOS on the Palmtop. I think version 5.0 is now freeware( Check at Microsoft). The best thing is to check all the possible formats Word 97 or 2000 accepts (file/save as../...) and then find the program that suits you best(on the palmtop) and is compatible with one of those formats.

There's a fellow who has a shareware-like *hardware* concept where he give away connectors and you pay him what you think they are worth. It's called the Purple Open Project, as I recall. He mainly makes special Garmin connectors for their GPS receivers. I approached him a couple of years ago about making an HP200LX serial cable. He said if we could find the innards, and had a reasonable number of potential users, he could make the mold. What's amazing is that this guy has a an 88-ton injection plastic molding machine in his kitchen! I bet the neighbors love it when he fires that thing up on molding days! I have also passed this along to Thaddeus in the past. I can only guess from the lack of an HP200LX connector on his page that nothing was agreed upon at that time. Perhaps the time is ripe to re-visit the matter. If someone wants, I can dig up my old e-mail exchanges with this guy and refresh my memory on what we discussed. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

I did find one problem with using the pin selected for the backlighting in that the code to enable this pin for use causes a higher power drain on the palmtop while it is enabled. I had to turn off the backlighting code that was in version 1.7 of my speed upgrade driver and created a version 1.8 and several versions since then that draw less power, especially when a flashcard is used in the palmtop. Several other here can attest to this power drain problem as the newer driver fixed it. I have also gone through extensive testing of the newer drivers in terms of power with the very big help of Helmuth Geunther. I was very disappointed to find that the backlight code was a huge source of the problem.

If too much work is attempted during the serial port interrupt at higher baud rates then you will get failures. Software that requires a lot of stuff to be done while recieving data should make the serial port interrupt store data only and then the program can poll an internal buffer for new data at given intervals.

This is exactly what has to be done if you use the serial port in interrupt mode. The "TSR" is the interrupt service routine you have to provide. It is invoked every time, a character is received by the UART. The service routine reads this character, puts it into it's own "FIFO" buffer, which is a ringbuffer and then ACKs the interrupt. If and only if a second character arrives, while the interrupt service routine has not yet ACKed the first interrupt, you will loose this second character (called overrun error). Therefore the interrupt service routine has to be as fast as possible. Usually it is in the range of about 20 bytes: -Read character -write it into the ringbuffer -check for ringbuffer wrap around. -ACK interrupt All this happens without notification of the comm software running. The comm software may be as complex or as simple as possible, it only has to look from time to time into the ringbuffer to see if characters have arrived. The bigger the ringbuffer, the less frequent it has to look. The ringbuffer may have a size of 64KB. The advantage of this solution is, that the comm software decides, when to look for new input. A FIFO buffer on the UART only decreases the number of interrupts, because not every character causes an interrupt, but only every 14th character or so (configurable). If a UART FIFO is in use, the interrupt service routine has to continue reading characters from the UART until the FIFO is empty. But same as without FIFO, the service routine writes these characters into it's own ringbuffer and the comm software is completely unaware of the FIFO, because it is handled in the interrupt service routine.

This is doing the same thing the comm program is doing, using an interrupt per character. There might be some small advantage since the TSR probably won't do as much during each interrupt, but the comm program, if it's written well, won't do much either. And the comm program has to keep interrupts turned off while dealing with the software FIFO buffer and with it's own internal buffer. Unless the comm program is fairly sloppy I can't see that there'd be much advantage to this. Am I overlooking something? I didn't read the earlier messages in this thread?

It seems that I remember seeing the interrupt that's used when this message occurs. Probably either in HelpPC or Ralf Brown's interrupt list. If I'm right, you'll need a program that will intercept that interrupt and terminate with an error level. It would also have to have some way to know to terminate if that error didn't occur. Probably another program to tell it that would follow in the batch file but be branched around if there was an error. This wouldn't be that hard to write in asm and not too difficult in C.

If the software doesn't use the serial port interrupt to receive data and did a polling operation instead then that probably explains the problem right there. You can't do that on the 200LX for high speed transfers. You have to use the interrupt method instead of polling.

(G) I saw the grin, but just in case there was some grain of seriousness in your comments, and with apologies to the list that this is all Windows based, I trust the program because: 1) You can choose the encryption algorithm from a choice of nine including Blowfish which has a good reputation. 2) The algorithm section is a sort of plug-in, so you can add your others should they become available. 3) Scramdisk comes with source code. I've never seen any adverse comments about its integrity. 4) The steganography option doesn't mix your data into the wav file, it mixes the encrypted volume data. Data hiding AND encryption. 5) The BestCrypt file wiping program that comes with their encrpytion program is freeware - http://www.jetico.com. It has numerous options including wiping to DoD 5200.28-STD standard. It also wipes the Windows swapfile after it's finished. 6) Bestcrypt also have a program (not sure whether this one's freeware or if it's part of their commercial offering) that will wipe slack space between the end of data and the end of cluster for all files on a disk.

The problem when you make a plug is that you need a mold for the plug and that is not cheap. So I am sure that you cannot order so many plugs, that a mold is payed.

It works in the HPLX flawlessley and I have been trying to get it to work in my IBM ThinkPad 600, running Windows 98, unsuccessfully. I took the Magic Ram sticker off to find out it is an "Epson - Flash Card - ATA Series - 40MB." The sticker on back identifies it as an "ATA412EN12, (C) SunDisk." The driver that Windows 98 loads for it is SanDisk ATA Flash Disk (5-11-98). I went to Magic Ram's web site and tried to do what is described here: http://www.magicram.com/memsupport.htm The step that is failing me is: 5. Change the I/O by double clicking Input/Output and clicking on the up arrows. I simply cannot change the I/O; I get a dialog box telling me "This resource setting cannot be modified." This leads me to believe that the wrong driver is being used. However, since SanDisk was SunDisk in a former life... I have been wandering the web trying to find the glitch and I send this in hopes that one of you already solved it.

Today HP would be the ONLY vendor out there with a Palmtop sized device that can run for a week on two AA batteries, with a 486 chip running at oh, say 100MHz, with 128MB memory, ample memory to run MSDOS 5.0, MSDOS 6.2, PCDOS 7, DR-DOS, Win95, Win98, WinNT, WinME, Win2000, Linux (several variants), BEOS, whatever... HP could be the ONLY vendor out there powring these machines with a 1GB Microdrive by IBM (powered by an external powerpack the size of a carddeck) or 512MB PCMCIA by Simple Technologies or Sandisk. HP would be the ONLY vendor with a fully capable machine that fits in people's pockets WITHOUT TEARING them to shreds! HP would be the ONLY vendor that can lay claim to the term "PocketPower"! They could apply these little machines in their new, improved, server strategy - it would save BILLIONS to its customers in rack space, computer rooms, and more. Imagine this: A regular 2.5m bench with racks FILLED with HUNDREDS of HP 260LXs - that is the whole space requirement for a HUGE server farm! To accomodate this today requires some serious floor space! Imagine the ubiquity of HP 260LXs along the lines of cell phones! I know it was hard to find screens anymore - that is because the DEMAND for them was so low - HP was buying a tiny number. What if they purchased hundreds of thousands? I bet the production lines would be humming, the engineers would scratch enough heads to come up with a cheap (price and power) color screen with exquisite clarity - even in sunlight. The technology is CERTAINLY available, it just needs some $$$ fertilization to grow into production. Oh well, it was nice to dream here for awhile...

HP35/HP65/HP85/Thinkjet/Omnibook/HP95-200LX/etc Then there was the HP28S. I read an article that this was the most complex device ever manufactured by man! HP ought to be reminded of their roots. Well, yes there printers are improving with technology, but they are only new and improved, not amazing. Think what kind of a market the HP260LX would spark! Now I recently purchased an ICOM IC-Q7, a hand held 2 meter/70 cm two band transceiver. I've hit repeaters at 40 miles with it. Runs of two AA's. It is also a scanner from 30MHz to 1.3GHz and with a computer will temporarily kick in to a 500KHz to 2GHz receive machine. It is about one-third the size of the 200LX. This kind of innovation is what we used to see from HP. (I will have to admit that the stock antenna will tickle my nose if I put it in my shirt pocket.)

I performed the same tests on the PCMCIA modem I purchased from Thaddeus, which is a V.90 low powered modem they sell. The simple test were performed 10 times on each modem at different times over the last two days. These test include logging into the D&A Software site and downloading their home page, downloading POST3.EXE from the alternate FTP site. and downloading 19 email messages I kept on my ISP's POP3 server for this purpose. I was able to keep the same messages on my POP3 server by deleting the newer messages from the POP3 server using the delete message in POST3 on any new messages that arrived. All of the above tests were run on a 2X 200LX I purchase from Thaddeus. The test results are averages in time and are as follows: DA Home Page USR (1:22) PCMCIA (1:06) POST3.EXE dl* USR (2:32) PCMCIA (2:12) Email dl* USR (1:26) PCMCIA (2:01) *dl (download) I don't think it makes much of a difference between an external modem and using a PCMCIA modem. The time differences are marginal at best. Having an external modem will be useful for users that have not upgraded their RAM in the 200LX. (I would like to point out that I am not affiliated with Thaddeus or D&A Software in any way other than being a very satisfied customer.) William E.

I have checked up the http://www.sitescooper.cx site (soon to be http://www.sitescooper.org/). The blurb says:- "Sitescooper automatically retrieves the stories from several news websites, trims off extraneous HTML, and converts them into formats you can read on your Palm computing device for later reading on-the-move. It maintains a cache, and will avoid stories you've already read. It can handle 1-page sites, 1-page with diffing, 2-level and 3-level sites, and it's very easy to add a new site to its list. Even if you don't have a Palm handheld, it's still handy for simple website-to-text conversion." The Sitescooper download page mentions that a Perl script is needed to process the 'scoops'. They have ready made downloadable scripts for Windows, MacOS, Unix and Linux, but advises that you must have the LWP Perl module installed. What is LWP? Perhaps you can enlighten us on what you mean by "It takes a bit of work to set it up", and whether Sitescooper is considered a good substitute for Avantgo as far as the 200LX is concerned. Also how does the software deal with multi-level sites when it is output as text, since presumably there will be no hotlinks in text files. I am interested in using Sitescooper on a Win9x PC, and copying the output as text or HTML to the 200LX.

I do not use Sitescooper myself but from the description on the web page I would assume that it implements a retrieval engine hat will simply descend from the Avantgo root document to any page "below" the base URL, ignoring any link leading "outside". A conversion module will the extract text and links from each page and store it into a format most suitable for the given palmtop.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Thanks everyone again for their wonderful input to this subject. It took me some repeated, deep searching, but I did find a few web sites which claim that many of the complaints about WindowsME and DOS are imaginary, as ME still runs DOS, just not in real mode. I don't know yet whether that's akin to the problems found with running DOS under NT (anyone knows the default hard disk format for ME? I though NTFS was only for NT, but I found some claims that ME can use either NTFS or FAT32. I have not discoverd yet whether ME supports FAT16). Now, for my last question on this subject (hopefully): I understand that not all infrared ports are made alike. How do I shop for one for my new ME system which will still be compatible with my HPLX?

Anyway, my first Thinkpad (365XD) wouldn't read my 10 meg Epson (SunDisk) and I called IBM support. He asked me what cards I would be using and when I said just that and a modem he suggested removing their fancy PC card stuff. I did and everything worked perfectly.

The Avantgo clients work with the sync software for Palms and HPC's from what I've read. Most of the difficulty in setting it up was getting Perl and the LWP installed and running on my Win box. It would have been easier under Linux, but I also use sitescooper with my Palm (which syncs with the Win box). If I recall, something got misconfigured when installing one of the components, and I had lots of problems, until I deleted it all and started fresh. > > Also how does the software deal with multi-level sites when it is output as > > text, since presumably there will be no hotlinks in text files. In a text file, the stories are dumped in whole one after the other. HTML output is probably better for the LX. There are two modes for this. One, each story is a file, and the other, all the stories are in one file, with a table of contents of links at the top. I prefer the latter. Sitescooper can also run the output through an external program, so it could, as Gerhard suggested, output .gdb files if someone wrote the software. > > I am interested in using Sitescooper on a Win9x PC, and copying the output > > as text or HTML to the 200LX. Before you spend the time setting it up, I would look on the Sitescooper site at the list of site files. It won't really work with just any website, there has to be a consistant layout to the pages, so that it knows what to grab and what to ignore. Read the documentation about how it works and you'll understand.

Word is a larger program, and I don't like that it has a pseudo-window frame (which eats up the already scant space on the 95LX screen). WordPerfect (I have LetterPerfect) has the advantage of being more keyboard-based. If you turn off the menu, it takes only one screen line for the status line. It also allows you to see the formatting codes, which is a big advantage over Word. You can go between Word 5.5 and WinWord using the RTF format; WinWord can Open and SaveAs WP for DOS 5.x/6.x formats directly. Neither will be able to handle the embedded objects that you can put in WinWord. In part it comes down to what you have -- you can download Word 5.5 free, while I know of no abandonware sites that have WordPerfect. If you can find WP at a thrift shop, Corel has printer drivers and video drivers on its download site (the software is still supported to some extent). WP was a good program, but WP Corp lost out to Micro$oft because they were slow getting out a good Windows version and because MS was able to bundle WinWord with new computers. -----Original Message----- From: John Musielewicz Ýmailto:a123456@BITSTREAM.NET¨ Sent: Monday, December 04, 2000 11:51 AM To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU Subject: Word 5.5 How well does Word run in grwaphics mode on the palmtop?

I seem to be back in business with Word 5.5 for dos (on the HP) and Word2000. When I got to work today I tried opening a 5.5 doc. And got an error but a "wizard" came up. It suggested I needed something on the cd for conversion as the "format" was not supported. After getting the cd from IS staff, it opened the 5.5 doc. I forgot to check if I can save as 5.5.

I had checked out Sitescooper installation for Windows , and it looks daunting indeed. I think for Win9x users, it is easier to use an offline browser. I had used Grab-a-Site a few years ago before I signed up for cable modem service, and find that I could literally grab a site for offline reading with a browser. The self-contained directory, in html and with graphics and images turned off, for each site can be copied over to the LX for reading on the move. Installation and operation is a breeze. For those who are interested, just go to http://www.tucows.com and search the software library for 'offline browser' under the Win95/98 category. There are several freeware, adware and shareware to choose from.

A good source for a serial interrupt routine would be the Newton Keyboard driver which includes the source. There is a serial program out there that lets you control the palmtop from a PC, but it used a polling method that ran during the timer interrupt and it actually changed the timer interrupt to run at the serial port speed. That method doesn't work very well for higher speeds on the palmtop. When I wrote the keyboard drivers for the keyboards Thaddeus sells I used a serial interrupt which works wonderfully if you don't try to do too much work during the interrupt.

I launch it from the App Manager (I used to launch it from X-Finder until I switched to a more memory-intensive version) and it leaves enough RAM to open reasonably big docs *and* spell-check them. (One warning: when running, Word 5.5 seems to disable the auto power-off. You can turn the palmtop off manually by hitting "off" twice.) Word 5.5 won't display different fonts or sizes, but it will display different styles, including bold, underline, italic, strikethrough, small caps, double underline, superscript and subscript. WP 5.1 doesn't offer graphical display of font styles (well, you can set them to show in reverse, etc.). It takes slightly longer to load, but generally runs faster than Word. If you are familiar with the WP keystrokes WP 5.1 is probably a better choice, but I am not, so I prefer Word. BTW, both Word97/Win95 and MacWord98 will Open and Save As Word 5.5 files.

Preferably a 32bit CRC and it should be reported some way that it can be called from another program; an environment variable would be nice. Something like: @echo off CRC d:\path\fn.ext echo The CRC is %crc% I do my 200LX (single speed) backup via serial cable to my desktop and it can take a long time to copy 20Meg of files. If I could compare a file's CRC with a previous value I could make some assumptions about identical files and skip the slow copy. You're probably asking why I don't rely on the "A"ttribute bit and use Xcopy with the "/M" switch. The reason is because I use a Move tool that does directory renames and doesn't turn on the "A" bit if it wasn't already on in the source file. Because of this I can't always rely on the absence of an "A" bit meaning nothing's changed. Cheers...

Don't let me discourage you so easily. I think the rewards are worth the effort. After configuring sitescooper with the sites i was interested in all I have to do is click a shortcut on my desktop. Sitescooper goes out and "snarfs" everything with no further input. I have it grab the local weather, several news sites, and a number of linux and technology sites. And you're not limited to the sites they have listed. It should be fairly easy to write a site file for the PalmtopPapers Whats New page (but I haven't gotten around to trying yet). The best feature though is that content you've already read is not downloaded again. All you get are the new stories. For my Palm it is so easy. Just click the link to run sitescooper, then hit the sync button to put it on the Palm. For the LX, it takes another step or two to transfer the files. If you had a card reader on your PC though, I guess you could have Sitescooper write directly to it, then just pop it in the LX.

Yes, the full version will have the LWP package. > Anything else ? This is the first time that I am touching Perl. If you're not doing Palm formats that should be it, and I don't think you even have to look at the perl code. After this it's just read through the documentation and find what is relevant or useful. For example, I believe the default filename for the output is a long string that includes the date, but there is a way to specify the filename format. I don't recall, and I'm not at work now. Something about templates though I believe. > >For my Palm it is so easy. Just click the link to run sitescooper, then > >hit the sync button to put it on the Palm.

Yes, but then I would be limited to Avantgo sites. I also have read that Avantgo is slow, and it only runs while you are syncing your Palm. There are some sites that Sitescooper can't access, and some things that Avantgo allows you to do, so one of these days I'll check it out. But for most of what I'm interested in, sitescooper works better for me.

You just missed the boat for getting WWW/LX for $37.50US. The price went back up to $79 on Sunday night. http://www.dasoft.com/ is the place to find it. The WWW/LX installed on my LX is 650K of files, not including the email, etc that you'll be downloading. That might be a little tight on a 2Meg LX. A smaller alternative is NetTamer, which is fairly compact and has the packet driver builtin. My installation is about 338K not including downloaded email, news, etc. I bought a NetTamer license a few years ago, but can't use it now, because I have a Cable modem ISP, and they want about $20 extra per month for POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) support. (NetTamer does not provide an option for an external packet driver) You can download NetTamer from http://www.nettamer.net/ NetTamer is almost fully functional in the unlicensed shareware mode, and there is no time limit for trialing it. But if you use it daily, like I -used- to, that nagging thing called conscience will bring you around to paying the $35US registration fee. If you need help setting up NetTamer, send me an email. I have a Megahertz CC3144 14.4 modem that works fine with my LX. You might want to explore the option of increasing your onboard memory by contacting Thaddeus. http://www.palmtoppaper.com/Store.htm if memory gets tight.

It bypassses the need for packets drivers, etc. It's a self contained application that dials into an ISP and provides POP/SMTP. usenet, ftp, ping, http (verrrry limited), timesync and some other stuff I can't remember. It's pretty easy to set up. I used it for a long time and it filled my needs nicely. The other programs tend to be more slick than NT but are a bit more complex to set up. The best application is www/lx. It's commercial but you get what you pay for. The good part is that you can try all of these choices and stick with the one you like best. http://www.nettamer.net As far as modem goes you have two choices: an external modem or a PCMCIA modem. External modems can be the 'pocket bettery powered' type that do not use the palmtop's battery to run, they require you to have a cable. I use the regular HP connectivity cable(~$20) coupled with a 9-pin gender changer (~$5) and 9-pin null modem converter(~$5) I got from radio shack. You can also sometimes find pocket modems on ebay. I've aquired several for <$30 each. The more popular PCMCIA modem that works on the LX is the megahertz xjack 14.4 modem. You have to be careful which modem you choose as the LX has strict power requirements. There are other modems that work better than the megahertz as well. BTW: I would also suggest the aquisisition of a flash ram card. They're cheap enough now that it's almost silly not to get at least a 10 or 20 MB card. I recommend a sandisk brand card. They can be found on this list or on ebay. I find that ebay is a great place to find kewl old stuff. ABTW: I have flash cards, external modems and internal modems collecting dust on the shelf.

Note too that some wireless phones (e.g., the StarTac ST7868W) can, in conjunction with an additional data cable, be used as external modems.

The ultimate reset is to remove all batteries and let it sit for 24 hours. I had to do that once to stop the LX from running down batteries too fast. It definitely helped.

If you have room you can create a zip file on the palmtop, transfer it (it'll be a much faster transfer) and then on the PC, run pkunzip -t to check the CRC created by pkzip. If you don't have room to create the zip on the palmtop, you can use one of the programs that lets you see the palmtop as a drive on your pc, such as Interlnk or ds95/dcs95 or (I think) Laplink. I haven't used Laplink but I think that's how it works. In any case you already have it. This lets you run pkzip from the pc and it'll pull the files from the palmtop directly into the zip file on the pc. I know ds95/dcs95 does a check on the data it transfers so you get a built in CRC check. I'm sure the others do the same thing. I used ds95/dcs95 this way for years (on the 95lx, 100lx and 200lx) before I got my desktop PCMCIA reader and I did have an occasional failure and have to start over. But I never got bad data.

But I never got bad data. I used to just love using that combination with pcopy which could sync the hp with the destkop copy by deleting files from the desktop backup copy that had been deleted from the hp. All directories remained matching (I would first make a copy of the desktop copy to another directory on the desktop, having a backup's backup! (G)) But once I moved to win95, I found that dcs95 combo did not work very reliably. Transfers would just END. Lots of restarts and I finally abandoned that method. It also allowed a c: drive backup which moving a flashcard does not accomplish. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2000 19:34:10 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Klaus Reinhardt Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Klaus Reinhardt Subject: Re: Duplicate Messages Comments: To: Ed Padin MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Ed Padin wrote: > > Is anyone else getting duplicate messages from the list? ----------------- mailto:K.Rdt@TU-Berlin.DE start ------------------- Hi Sometimes.

In plain DOS with all TSRs REMmed out, the screen changes to a DOS prompt and I see this line: a:\bin\paledit\pim\pim.exe -@ t new_task Another line flashes underneath this one (can't read it) and I'm returned to EXAMPLES.PIM in PE. Clues: ====== I have a 2 Mb unit. I can't run PICK.exe unless I start PE with all available memory. I used to be able to run PICK under an older version of PE with less memory. Questions: ========== Is there a memory problem? I've tried tweaking pim.cfg but it didn't seem to help. Is anyone running PIM on a 2 Mb unit or are you using machines with more memory?

Yes, I already do this. I run PKZIP on the desktop pulling files across a laplink connection. It takes a l-o-n-g time to transfer ALL the files. I want the CRC tool to help identify which files have changed since the last backup so I only need transfer changed files. (For other reasons I cannot completely rely on the DOS "A"ttribute bit.) Your idea of running zip on the LX and pushing the zips to the desktop sounds good but the default laplink connection leaves the LX a server, not a client. Can this be reversed so I can run my backup from the LX while the link is active? Cheers...

It did not include the promised power supply, and the faceplate was not fastened to the drive. It had been sent to me in a simple padded envelope, not in a box. I have been sending e-mail to Scott ever since, with no response. He has my money order, and I have a nonworking Zip drive with no power supply (I tried it with the power supply for my good Zip drive--it lights up and I can insert and eject the disk. The first time I tried it it would read some files, but others would not load or did not appear in their directories. On all subsequent tries the drive was NOT READY.) Since I have not seen any of his ads since, I would assume perhaps he is just going to disappear for good. I'm disappointed since this is the first time I have been burned in something like 100 Internet transactions, including eBay. I understand that he gave mostly good service to list members, but that there were some other problems with packaging.

Interested to know. What type of AC adapter are you looking for? I have seen some 110VAC type here in Singapore selling around US$15. I think it is a rechareable NiMH pack for portable use. Our voltage is 240VAC. Getting burned in internet transaction is unpreventable as it depends on the honour system. I too bought something (a camera) from a fellow camera list member and got a dud. Lost $180 on it. Repair cost would be US$200 - so it is sitting on the shelf to remind me that not all list members can be trusted. Then there are two occasions I sent money to ebay sellers but the goods never come. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Shields" To: Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2000 9:18 AM Subject: Scott Moore/Zip Drive > To All List Members, > > A little over a week ago, having responded to one of his ads, > I received a Zip drive from Scott Moore.

You might want to avoid using a redirect time of zero, though. That can easily "trap" a surfer such that their back button won't work... as soon as they go back to the redirect page, wham-bam, they're instantly returned to the page they tried to go back *from*. (It probably doesn't matter in this case, but at least some search engines see instantaneous redirection as an index-spamming technique and ban any site that does this, as well.) Unless instant redirection is truly important, I'd suggest setting CONTENT to 1, 2, 5, etc... this is the delay, in seconds, before loading the new page. For what it's worth, another way to redirect is with Javascript. Here's a code snippit that will perform a redirect; it would be placed in the first page's : --------------------- --------------------- The above example will redirect in one second (the 1000 is delay time in milliseconds). There was some reason for using Javascript instead of the meta tag, but I honestly don't remember what it was. What I usually do is use both, setting the meta redirect time a bit longer than the Javascript time as a backup. Hope this is of some help, or at least is informative.

I used to run a DOS based BBS in a DOS window on a Windows system. I used to be able to dial in and, as sysop, access files and run DOS programs remotely on my system from a DOS shell in that same window, but it didn't allow remote mouse control. I could only access and control that DOS window if that window was the current window on the host computer. I didn't find any way to access any other windows. I didn't find any other way to launch or control Windows programs, either. It did not offer access to the desktop. I just made sure that my home desktop computer would boot up so the current window was running the DOS based BBS program. That way, if I wanted to, I could even log in with a remote laptop and remotely reboot my home system with a simple DOS reboot utility, and then simply reconnect. I hope this answers any specific questions you might have. Cheers!

Agreed. However, as a once-in-a-while eBay seller, I gotta add my .02 worth. When a sale goes bad, for whatever reason, it behooves the seller to immediately respond with a money-back offer, especially if insurance {.85} was not suggested prior to shipping. In a case where insurance was suggested but declined by the buyer, the buyer more than less "holds the bag", but still the seller wants to be very careful in his negotiating the refund or replacement. I`ve done business twice with Scott, without any problems. I`d be inclined to offer a full refund {shipping included} were it one of my transactions, and get on with life.

I have not received ANY response from my e-mails to Scott since I received the drive. The first I heard from him was his response to the list. If for any reason there was e-mail miscommunication, I apoligize. However, I had no problems exchanging e-mail with Scott before the drive arrived, and I have had no e-mail problems with anyone else. Here are two valid e-mail addresses; I'm using the first right now: beamsplitter@juno.com beam2@telerama.com The drive may have worked when Scott sent it, but it arrived nonworking, with the faceplate off and minus a power supply. It was packed in a padded envelope only. I don't want to post anything else to the list about this; I'm not asking list members to settle it. I'm asking Scott to e-mail me at either address above.

It also leaves me a backup of C: on A: that I have with me all the time in case I screw something up. That's saved my smile a couple of times. And if I need the room I can always delete it.

I think everyone finds this sort of thing unpleasant. I don't think we expect this sort of problem on this list. But I do agree that we should know the outcome since Scott regularly does business with listmembers and regularly solicits his business on the list. I think the reason no-one has objected to that is that he's seemed to be honest and the products he's offered are of interest to a lot of list members. Makes good sense to me. But, if he's accused of cheating, we need to know it. And if he did cheat, we need to know that. And if he didn't, we need to know that. While it's true that we'll never truly know unless one of them concedes (unlikely) at least if it gets hashed out on this list we can all make up our own minds. So I think it's not only appropriate to discuss here, I think it's important. I haven't bought anything from Scott yet but I've come close a couple of times. He just hasn't had the right deal on the right items yet. But I keep watching and hoping he will. To try to stir the pot a little, Scott claims to have sent a working product but Mark claims to have received a non-working product. Scott, does that mean if you send something and it arrives DOA, we're on our own? I seem to remember some dispute about that with a bent card when you first started selling to list members. I can't remember how that was resolved. Maybe it would be good if you explained your policy about DOA items.

First advice is to use the default PIM file names - look into the pim.cfg and the pe.cfg which comes with the ZIP file. Do yourself a favour and use the same directory names as well as long as you are not comfortable with everything that sits in the cfg-files. You seem to have a memory problem.

I did have a problem with the item, but I discovered that it was from my own ignorance. I had purchased some of the ram he was offering at a very good price. It came in a plain envelope, that I wished had been in at least a padded envelope, or at least a box, even if it was used. I tried the ram is the old computer that I was hoping to use it for, and found out it did not work. I wrote Scott, and he told me that it worked when he sent it, and I could either return it for a refund, or an exchange (I don't recall now which it was). Through my own procrastination I ended up not returning it, and it sat on my computer bench in the basement for quite some time. During Microsoft MCSE training, I took a class to prepare me for the A+ exam (which is for computer repair) and during that class I discover why the ram he sent me did not work. I was using the wrong type of ram, for the machine that I wanted to use it in. It was an old 486 machine, and the ram he sent me was for a Pentium machine. Since then I have used his ram, now installed in the proper type of machine, so this story had a happy ending. I don't mind at all hearing feedback on someone from this list that frequently sells listmemebers something. If all we hear is negative feedback, then I certainly would not deal with the seller, no matter how good the deal is. But I have heard a lot of positive feedback from sales from Scott, and am confident that he and the buyer will work out their differences. Just my 2 cents.

It's obvious that Mark and Scott are having a hard time connecting (for what reason I can't tell) so this (this list) is just another way to try to make some progress. To stir things up furthers: I have noticed that Scott typically send his goods in borderline "not good enough" packaging. Everyone I can remember dealing with him has mentioned the "padded envelope" and the same happened to me when I received my 2 flahs cards from him. As someone who normally send everything in ultra-safely packed boxes, I remember asking myself how the cards could have possibly survived the trip. I think it's even more serious with a Zip drive since it contains moving parts. A padded envelope is simply not enough for this type of product. Perhaps things go well enough on average that Scott does not need to refund people's money too often, so he saves on shipping material. In any case, I would be delighted to know what he does when something arrives DOA. So far, we're in the dark in that matter.

My eBay ID is palmtopcop is anyone wants to verify that. I constantly have between 50-70 items listed and ship about 15 packages a day. Here is what I don't understand about Scott. Why not use 'free' Priority Mail packages and just charge the customer a flat $3.20 charge. The boxes are sturdy and the USPS will deliver them for free. I get them by the hundreds, literally. The USPS will even provide shipping labels with your return address preprinted. If you are going to do business (mail order) you need good supplies and when, and if, there is a complaint you should bend over backwards to make the situation correct. I don't know if the Zip drive was in good shape when it left but if it was mailed in a padded envelope I can, as an experienced shipper, tell you that it will *not* arrive in good condition. I am going to be listing a 32MB DS 200LX on eBay in the next couple of weeks complete with every imaginable acessory.

The first snag: bmp2icn complained that the 'bmp' files needed to be 44 x 32 pixels. As an experiment, I converted one of these 'bmp' files into the required size, using Canvas. Second snag: bmp2icn complained that the 'bmp' file needed to be monochrome. So, I went back to Canvas and converted the 'bmp' to gray-scale, then posterized it to 3 colors (black, gray and white), but bmp2icn still complained that the 'bmp' file needed to be monochrome. I was hoping this program could dither the middle gray color into a checkerboard pattern like I've seen done on some HPLX icons, but apparently it can't handle that. Does anyone out there know of a technique for converting 'bmp' files into a decent black and white dither? Ideally, I like to have a tool which intelligently performs all the conversion in one step. ; ) Thanks, Dale Batson ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2000 15:15:32 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ken Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ken Subject: Re: Scott Moore/Zip Drive Comments: To: Fryday MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I would point out in this discussion...no matter which side is right, the kind of packaging for the zip drive probably doesn't matter.

They extended the network to support 128kbps service in various places. They are still officially building the network in LA, but I have been using their fast modem for two days now. It is fast. Clearly faster than the 56Kbps modems (and I just tested for Hal in the last two days a sweet pocket modem!!! He has my evaluation to do with as he sees fit!). I get probably 50,000 baud on the palmtop - but I really have not measured it! All I did was connect the serial cable to the palmtop interface and plugged it in the COM1. Then ran WWWSETUP.EXE, added a new ISP Setup (I get my GS service through Wireless Webconnect), designated external modem, 57600 speed (and 115200 baud), the ATZ is fine, dialin is 3333, and put in the proper DNS and alt DNS as well as my id and password. Used the same Rico_Script that comes built-in with WWW/LX. And away we went!! It was slightly more reliable at slower speed, but worked just as well at 115200. They use PAP (a variant of CHAP which is handles just as well by the CHAP script - the basis of the Rico_Script. This looks good! FYI - anyone interested in this portable radio modem. It is not cheap, BTW, but on the desktop you get nearly 128K baud - and that is nothing to sneeze at in a radio communication.

If this sounds interesting to you send me an email OFF LIST asking for EnoughBT and I'll reply with a small Zip file containing the Com file and a Txt file. If anyone is looking for anything obscure and you think it might be in this mass of files I can also supply a list of all the files in all of the Luke Zip files.

Andrew: Let me give you some fair warning. I, too, had been using the SCM Swapbox, ISA version, for over a year with no problems. Recently, my computer died and I got a new motherboard. I did not have the foresight that you did, and ended up with a PCI-only MB. No problem, I thought. I can just buy a new interface card. Wrong. The PCI version of the SwapBox is a complete new design, even the PCMCIA cradle. You have to buy a whole new SwapBox unit. Well, I decided to bite the bullet, given how pleased I was with the ISA version. When the new one arrived, I installed it and couldn't get it to work right. After a few phone calls to the Tech Support at the distributor (Envoy), I was able to get it to work partially - it could read SanDisk flash disks, but not Simple Tech one, at the time my main Palmtop FLASH disk. To me this was useless. They pointed the finger at Simple Tech, and I tried to contact them. So far, no response. I'm in the process of getting an RMA so I can return it, since it seems to only read certain FLASH disks. I had no such problems with the ISA version, which appeared to recognize any card I could put in it. If you want to trade your ISA for my PCI box, I might consider it if there ends up being any problem with my RMA. At least I'd have two units that worked, even if I don't have any ISA slots right now in my MB. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

Ideally, I like to have a tool which intelligently performs > all the conversion in one step. ; ) I haven't found any all-in-one tool to do this yet, but with practice you'll be able to do this pretty easily with a decent paint program and bmp2icn. Open your source image in your paint program, and adjust the brightness/contrast, saturation and gamma to get the highest contrast for your detail using the minimum number of colors. Then use a threshold or dither tool (a 2x2 Ordered Dither usually works best) to render it B&W only. If the image size is less than 44Wx32H, create a new picture at 44x32 and copy the image content into it. If the image size is greater than 44x32, you'll have to scale or crop it. Finally, reverse the image to negative and save as a .BMP. *Then* you can use BMP2ICN to convert it to an .ICN for the palmtop. Alternatively, you can leave the image as a positive, save it to .PCX, then use PCX2ICN to convert it. (I believe that the .ICN format is really .IMG with a different extension, but I haven't tested this.) Either way, it must leave your paint program as a 2-color (B&W) image, exactly 44 pixels wide by 32 pixels tall. If you really want to save yourself the trouble, you might find the icon you want among the over 1,000 at the S.U.P.E.R Icon Server: http://www.palmtop.net/cgi-bin/supericons or in my collection of Win icons for X-Finder at: http//www.palmtop.net/anonftp/pub/xfwinicn.zip Alternatively, you could e-mail your .ICOs to me, and I'll see what I can do...

This note by Jeff is interesting, as I think about it. Virtually all my Ebay purchases have come with excellent packaging, with lots of pellets at best, folded newspaper at worst. By contrast, I have never received a package from a manufacturer properly packaged. The same applies to retail deliveries (local area). My TrgPro came from a reseller in a huge box full of pellets. I had to send it back to the manufacturer for warranty replacement. I used lots of folder newspaper. They sent me a new replacement in a totally unpadded envelope!! True, the retail box had some minimal padding, but goodness, it's a replacement unit, for crying outloud! But no damage ocurred, thankfully. My warranty service with HP and my HP200LX a few years ago was not much better. I sent it with 2 inches of foam from another device's box (a Poqet), and it came back with a very slim box, and about 1/10 inch foam!

Many of you with Palms synchronize with your HP200LX via Outlook and Curtis sync program + some other program on the desktop for the Palm. What I have found is that synchronizing with Outlook with either the HP200LX or the Palm is much too slow to do it daily, so I tend to do it weekly or less often. The question is, is there a faster way? I know some of you use a variety of other desktop programs (Schedule, etc), which I am not familiar with because, aside for syncing with my Palm, I have no curret need for a desktop PIM. I do have Intellisync for the hplx, but it doesn't seem to work with any of the current desktop PIMs. Any suggestions appreciated. As a related aside, I have found found that I can send up to 4k of text very quickly from my Palm directly to my hplx with Andreas' IR freeeware, set to client setting (the irprint setting is too slow), and a freeware Palm program called IRPAD. It is currently a one way deal, but it is quick and painless. i am currently waiting for the update of a Palm program called ONLINE. It currently handles text, but it is cumbersome. The update is supposed to handle standard file transfer protocols via IR (zmodem, etc.). I don't yet know whether they will support HPSIR directly, but I'll let you know if they do decide to do so.

Here's what I tried. I already load MaxDOS from the autoexe file with the same parameters you suggested, so my batch file looks like: @echo off c:\_bin\maxdos.com a:\pe\pe.exe I've moved the PE and PIM files to a:\pe and a:\pim so they match the default cfg files and updated all the paths to match. I also added a:\pim\index, which I forgot to create before :) The index (*.idx) files are getting generated but I get the same results; DOS line with "-@ t taskname" and then back to PE. I also tried uping the amount of memory in Setup>System>Advanced DOS field to 250K (was 128K). Didn't make any difference. Just so I'm clear on this, I'm expecting a screen to appear similar to the one that shows up if you start PIM by itself. I'm also assuming that I don't have to create a macro for CTRL-ENTER. I HAD a macro ;CTRL-ENTER opens file under cursor ;#1c0a=#2d18#186f to hyperlink documents (CTRL-X O, i think) but removed it. I'll play with it some more over the weekend and see if I come up with anything. Thanks again for your help.

First advice is to use the default PIM file names - look into the pim.cfg and the pe.cfg which comes with the ZIP file. Do yourself a favour and use the same directory names as well as long as you are not comfortable with everything that sits in the cfg-files. You seem to have a memory problem. Get MAXDOS.ZIP from the SUPER site and call your PE editor from a batch file with the following lines : c:\path\maxdos.com -l -e maxdos c:\path\pe.exe c:\path\maxdos.com -r Report back about your progress.

I'm having offline discussion with someone on the list that has offered to host the files. Part of the problem is the rights and ownership of all the files isn't cleearly understood. Some are freeware, some are shareware, and some may be commercial or registered shareware. Without a detailed examination of ALL the files we can't be sure.

Dr. Werner Furlan gave me a tip about a freeware tool called IrfanView (http://www.irfanview.com), which can batch process Windows ico files and perform most of the conversion work. For example, it can resize a group of icons to 44x32, convert them to grayscale, reduce the number of colors, and then save them as bmp files - all in one step! Now all I need to do is follow Bruce's instructions on enhancing and dithering these bmp files, then process them with bmp2icn. But perhaps Owen's suggestion about using Mark Virtue's Ibrowse will prove to be the simplest. I'll try both techniques this weekend, then let you know what works best.

Ideally, I like to have a tool which > intelligently performs all the conversion in one step. ; ) I haven't found any all-in-one tool to do this yet, but with practice you'll be able to do this pretty easily with a decent paint program and bmp2icn. Open your source image in your paint program, and adjust the brightness/contrast, saturation and gamma to get the highest contrast for your detail using the minimum number of colors. Then use a threshold or dither tool (a 2x2 Ordered Dither usually works best) to render it B&W only. If the image size is less than 44Wx32H, create a new picture at 44x32 and copy the image content into it. If the image size is greater than 44x32, you'll have to scale or crop it. Finally, reverse the image to negative and save as a .BMP. *Then* you can use BMP2ICN to convert it to an .ICN for the palmtop. Alternatively, you can leave the image as a positive, save it to .PCX, then use PCX2ICN to convert it. (I believe that the .ICN format is really .IMG with a different extension, but I haven't tested this.) Either way, it must leave your paint program as a 2-color (B&W) image, exactly 44 pixels wide by 32 pixels tall. If you really want to save yourself the trouble, you might find the icon you want among the over 1,000 at the S.U.P.E.R Icon Server: http://www.palmtop.net/cgi-bin/supericons or in my collection of Win icons for X-Finder at: http//www.palmtop.net/anonftp/pub/xfwinicn.zip Alternatively, you could e-mail your .ICOs to me, and I'll see what I can do...

This was the case when I was using it. Now, I use Norton Commander 5.0 to transfer files between my office desktop and the palmtop.

Normally if it's com/IRQ problems the interface won't work at all. The symptoms I've seen repeatedly after much fooling around are: 1. Small files (< 1K bytes) almost always transfer fine in either direction (palmtop->PC or PC->palmtop). 2. Large files almost never transfer, but die somewhere in the middle of the file. 3. Copying entire directories with many files almost never transfer, dying after only a few files make it across. I will make a wild guess and suspect: 1. There is a bug in TF Win 200 that causes both sides to get into a NAK loop and neither side can recover. Possibly this happens whenever a data transmission error occurs. Slowing the baud rate should help, as William Blankenship suggested. However in my case this doesn't seem to help. 2. TF Win 200 has a protocol error bug that, once it gets into this "bug" state, it cannot recover from. 3. There is a timing problem between the palmtop and TF Win 200. Maybe there needs to be greater delay between packets on either/both sides because one side can't turn the line around fast enough. The transmitter starts transmitting before the receiver is ready. Either the receiver only gets the tail end of the message or it doesn't get anything at all. This might be the most likely scenario. Is there any way to adjust inter-packet delay timing parameters on either side?

Morgan" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Owen H. Morgan" Subject: Slightly OT: Low pass filter. Hi! As some of you know, I'm using a HP200LX to receive weatherfaxes from shortwave radio. My problem is that at certain frequencies I get some QRM on the receiver from the screen of the HP. If I unplug the RS232 cable, the noise disappears, so I know it's coming in through the cable. I have the original HP cable with a ferrite on it and also have a ferrite on the 12V power supply cable for the receiver and the 12V power cable for the HP, but this doesn't seem to help. The radio is manufactured by NASA in the UK (no, not the USA space agency) who sell an optional cable with an in-line filter, but it's a bit wasteful to send off to the UK for such a small item. I've noticed that there are a couple of radio amateurs on the list. Does anyone of you happen to have a drawing for a low-pass filter I could use for this? I'd guess a cut off around 2.5kHz would be about right. I'm not sure which signal on the RS232 the interface uses, but I remember it's not RXD.

Transfile _has_ a bug in transmitting some code (I do not know which combination of bits it is) but you can find out if this is the case when the transfer stops always on the same spot of the file. Most time it is possible to send the file to the palmtop if you zip it or unzip it if it is already zipped. In my opinion it is not worth to fiddle around with transfile if it hangs because there are some other programs that will do the job without being persuaded. I had this problem too once and I was informed by some members of the list. (thank you!) 73!

The program should run on the 95LX if you are able to tell it to use MDA screen mode instead of CGA. The 95LX only supports MDA (mode 7). Apart from that, the bigger problem will be to connect a modem to the 95LX, because it's serial port has only 3 wires (Rx,Tx and Ground). No chance for the 95LX to "see" the modem status. However I succeded in 1990 to connect and use an external 2400 baud modem with the 95LX. I used it to connect to the german BTX service which is just about to die these days :-( I had to open the external modem and do some extra wiring inside. It was a trial and error method, but finally it worked. I no longer have the modem and cannot remember what I did.

The xj4336 is a 33.6 modem, and most early 33.6k modems (or anything above 14.4k) had power problems on the 200LX, with a few exceptions. The newer crop of PDA conscious modems may fare better, but I haven't tried them. I do have the 33.6k Simple Tech Communicator modem, and it works fine in the 200LX without getting too warm, but I only use it infrequently (I believe it's discontinued ... I bought it from Father Al). I haven't used a xj4336 myself, but the xj3144 runs fairly cool, or at least it doesn't get hot. I don't have a cell phone (so knock that off your Southern California stereotypes ) and just used the modem in the 200LX, usually on batteries and on a regular phone line. The modem never caused my 2x/6mb 200LX to burb (ie, no power warning msgs during insert), and ran for quite a while before the batteries would cave in. I'm hesitant to quantify the "quite a while" cuz I no longer use it, and on-line time (on batteries) varies depending on the activity (ie, browsing/answering email vs downloading the complete works of Shakespeare), and the type of batteries used. I seem to remember my 1500mAh NiMH giving me on the order of 1/2 hour of downloading time on that modem .... but don't trust my memory on that. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2000 10:57:43 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ken Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ken Subject: Re: New member (transfile bug) Comments: To: furlan@gmx.net MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dr. Werner Furlan" Subject: Re: New member (transfile bug) > if the program works to some extent it cannot be the serial > settings, otherwise it would not work at all. > Transfile _has_ a bug in transmitting some code (I do not know > which combination of bits it is) but you can find out if this is the > case when the transfer stops always on the same spot of the > file. I beleive it was the serial port...I could never get a connection even though I tried every serial port setting on the desktop and the 200lx. I could never establish a connection that was usable. So I trashed the program and stuck with connectivity pack which does work. I came to the conclusion the mouse was screwing up trasnfile because the 200lx had to come in on the same port as mouse. --------------------------------------------------------------- Long live the hp200lx., The complete pc solution that will fit in your pocket. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2000 15:11:03 -0800 Reply-To: Norbert_Giese@T-Online.de Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Norbert Giese Subject: Question regarding LX-Batch functions End, Stop, and Break MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello, has somebody ever found out the meaning of these LXB functions?

Compact flash (CF) cards only word with this drive when the chip is inserted into the supplied ATA adapter. This is the reason that I purchased this reader/writer. Others that I have seen only accept CF and Smart Media. This one accepts ATA/CF/Smart Media. There are two slots and each shows as a different drive on the desktop. The ATA/CF slot shows as one drive and the Smart Media slot shows as a drive. This unit is pretty fast and is not very expensive. I purchased mine for 79.00.

But I haven't bought a full size PCMCIA card since my first 10 meg card years ago. Compact flash is the same thing in a smaller package and works in a lot more devices and the combination of a compact flash and the PCMCIA adapater is still cheaper than the same size PCMCIA card. However, there are PCMCIA readers, also. I've seen them on the web. Maybe in CDW. I've also seen one that can read both. But I don't remember where.

I asked Mack this question, and it appears to be related to where SanDisk chose to put the boot sector on the FLASH disk. I can't say this driver is limited to SanDisk, or at what capacity the need for the driver is present. Maybe Mack can shed additional light. But based on his explanation, it is conceivable that some manufacturer's small capacity FLASH disks might need the driver. I remember my first 30/60MB ACE flash disk - it came with a driver - indeed, this same driver also works with my latest SanDisk. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

I could run the XJ2144 for nearly an hour on a fresh set of NiCd cells. It would only run 5-10 minutes with alkalines--even a fresh set. I think this has to do with the higher internal resistance of alkalines. I run on NiMH cells now and haven't used the modem much away from AC power, as I usually use my cell phone instead.

No complain at all. Regards, Leong ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: Converting Windows Icons to HPLX Icons Author: "HPLX Mailing List" Date: 12/8/2000 4:13 AM Greetings Palmtoppers, I recently downloaded "ico2bmp" from http://www.ghostlight.com/software/old_versions.html and "bmp2icn" from http://www.palmtop.net/super.html , thinking I'd be able to easily convert Windows icons into HPLX 'icn' format. The first snag: bmp2icn complained that the 'bmp' files needed to be 44 x 32 pixels. As an experiment, I converted one of these 'bmp' files into the required size, using Canvas. Second snag: bmp2icn complained that the 'bmp' file needed to be monochrome. So, I went back to Canvas and converted the 'bmp' to gray-scale, then posterized it to 3 colors (black, gray and white), but bmp2icn still complained that the 'bmp' file needed to be monochrome. I was hoping this program could dither the middle gray color into a checkerboard pattern like I've seen done on some HPLX icons, but apparently it can't handle that. Does anyone out there know of a technique for converting 'bmp' files into a decent black and white dither? Ideally, I like to have a tool which intelligently performs all the conversion in one step. ; ) Thanks, Dale Batson ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2000 10:17:08 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Yves Leurquin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Yves Leurquin Subject: Re: PC Anywhere and the 200LX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable James, I have no experience wil PCAnywhere 4.5 so I can't comment on that.

There's a program around called Freyja, which is Craig Finseth's version of emacs for the 95lx and the 100lx. The 100lx version (same as 200lx) knows about screen size changes and adjusts itself properly for them, just like the built in apps. He was one of the developers of the built in apps, if I remember right. I played with it some but I'm alergic to emacs and it made me sneaze too much. It's the supersite at http://www.palmtop.net/cgi-bin/count-redir.pl?dbname=freyja30.zip&UR L=http://www.palmtop.net/anonftp/pub/freyja30.zip. Interesting side note: I thought I had a copy of this and while looking for it (I didn't find it) I ran spotted a 1.44 floppy with 2 backups of my palmtop. Yes, 2 on one floppy. They're dated 8/29/92 and 9/29/92. The A: backup for 8/29 is only 347k. I think that's from when I had a 512k sram card. I think I paid $599 for that card. What a huge capacity that was to carry in my pocket! That was before flash was available, I think. I was looking at a compact flash with 48 meg the other day for $119. Times have changed. :) I don't remember when I got the 95lx. I didn't think it was that far back but I guess it must have been.

Freyja is not too bad as EMACS goes, it has built-in menu support (Lotus 123 style menus).

Times have changed. :) I had a 1meg 95LX and managed to fit not only various SysMgr utilities, but also a few games, Notepad (a simple database program that featured hyperlink-style, well, links), a programming language (Turbo Pascal 3, I think, but I never used it much), and Derive v2.5/3.0 (which was a time saver!) and still have room left over for my text files (albeit not so much!). To think that now I have a 6MB 200LX and it's always full :-) Speaking of the 95LX, does anyone (still) have some of the 95-specific programs that were made years ago? more specifically, the soft-font program that enabled a 80x25 soft text mode?

Perhaps someone may know what the problem is. Try going to Netscape Preferences under EDIT. Then advanced. Clean up both the memory and disk cache. (you will lose your history if that matters to you, you can save it, I believe). Close netscape. Reboot the computer and try again. I have had periodic problems with Netscape like that. I can do an initial site visit but I can click on any links and it does not do anything - just sits there. Yet, a right click on a link and select "open in new window"" will work. Clearing the caches and rebooting windows has generally fixed the problem.

If you can start PIM directly then your PIM.CFG should be OK. However I think there is a problem with your PE.CFG and/or with wrong index directories.

Well by default the Sysmgr files go to c:\_dat so you've limited the disk available unless you change them all. (Can they all be changed in one place? ...or each separate app, ugh...) When I first got my 32m 200LX I was tempted to not swap them but besides the _DAT directory, I didn't like the way the LX drives were mapped to my desktop via Laplink. I ended up using the rdswap.exe and haven't found any problems caused by it. The very slight negative is that it does add a tiny bit of confusion in the config.sys file as drive letters change before and after rdswap.exe's execution. I recommend using it if only for consistency with the rest of us. :-) Cheers...

This should give you more memory to read more mail in PNR.EXM -PNR.EXM and PNR.EXE may use different editors. -When running PNR.EXM, PNR.EXE, or PNRTI.EXE, a lock file is created in the spool directory to prevent you from running another application in the PNR "family", and trashing the index files. - In PNR.EXM, when creating a reply or a new mail/news message, you can switch from the dialog box to the standard Sytem Manager applications by using the blue keys. You can now use the phone book application as an address book! -When saving a message to a folder, you are prompted with a "Combo box" which has a drop down list of your existing folders. -When saving messages to folders, PNR tracks which were "sent" messages and which were "received" messages.

Here is what's new: New in 3.1: - New serial port routines speed up serial communication 5-15% - FastHUP now only drops the DTR (data terminal ready) signal, which causes most modems to hang up. - Normal hanging up procedure is a bit slower but makes sure the phone is really hang up - Changed http requests so that "empty page phenomenon" hopefully vanishes - KeepAlive=1 in a setup section makes WWW/LX send LCP Echo packets whenever an echo packet from the peer is received. Some servers seem to not only want their LCP Echo packets answered but also want to receive echo packets from the peer. Use this if a session is suddenly aborted for no obvious reason, but always after a certain time. - When a TCP packet with data was received while WWW/LX was waiting for sending (waiting for an ACK) the data of the packet was lost, causing resends - After queries to the IAS (IrDA), the IrLMP connection is now closed (seems to have irritated some Siemens phones if the connection was left open) - Prefix=none clears the dial prefix Similar details on the webpage http://www.dasoft.com.

No idea how that was happening but you can imagine that I change it right away to "Japanese=3D0". Maybe that was the solution too why some words in the text were not showed on the screen afterall. Will see now... Furthermore I am puzzled by the fact how I can switch something on that the reader can see the date of the "Sent:" field.

If you were using a slower modem, would using a high speed modem speed things up significantly, or was the UART on the 200LX the bottleneck? The following can be considered a data point, or a flight of fancy. Following a suggestion by Mack, the following is the result of testing the speed of the serial line between a desktop computer and the HP 200LX. The "Filer" applications on the 200LX and in the desktop Connectivity Pack software were used in the test. DOS 6.2 on the desktop. Percent efficiency is defined as number of bytes transferee, times ten, divided by the baud rate. I.e. 120 characters per second at 1,200 baud would be 100%. File transfer from P-90 to 200LX palmtop. Transfer is from hard drive D: to flash card A:. Large file "BAT865.ZIP" 713,647 bytes. baud seconds Bytes/Sec % efficiency 115,200 222 3215 27.90% 57,600 284 2513 43.63% 38,400 347 2057 53.56% 19,200 537 1329 69.22% Small file "BOB-CAR0.JPG" 71,228 bytes. baud seconds Bytes/Sec % efficiency 19,200 55 1295 67.45% 9,600 78 913 95.12% 4,800 154 463 96.36% 2,400 307 232 96.67% 1,200 609 117 97.47% Transfer is from flash card A: to RAM drive G:. Large file "BAT865.ZIP" 713,647 bytes. baud seconds Bytes/Sec % efficiency 115,200 210 3398 29.50% These results are not what I would expect if the UART was the limiting factor.

I used Freyja quite a bit Freyja is the great fertilitygoddess of the Vikings. She was worshipped throughout the whole Scandinavia. Erotic uninhibited liberation is often an attribute of female goddesses of fertility,as was the case with Freyja. Therefore Freyja was a great abonimation for the christians. Freyja was also the most knowledgeable of sorcery,that sorcery the Vikings called sejd. The sejd-still practiced and teached today by worshipers of the Aesir cult (the old norse religion)-is based on the conception of the remote effect of the soul,its potential to free from the body and put into effect the will of the sorcer. The Aesir cult is not dead,luckily the christians didn't manage to exterminate it.

I don't remember the exact command to do this but I remember reading about it in the documentation. Micro Emacs has a lot of functionality for its size without being the bloated pig that full-blown Emacs is. I find Micro Emacs very useful for taking a text document that is based on an 80-character (or more) line and converting it to the palmtop's 64-character line. It will take an HTML document that has few hard carriage returns and convert it to something with 64-character lines that I can use. I also use it together with a program called PFM that is very useful. PFM is a superb program for DOS. It really speeds things up. And it runs fine on a 200LX. I find that in a lot of HTML documents all I want is the text. If I wrap the lines to 64 characters I can use PFM to view the files and read them easily without losing the capability of also viewing them with an HTML viewer if I want. I can also grep for things without getting one line that fills up a whole screen because it is a really long line. If I have a lot of files I want to wrap to 64 characters I use a small C program I wrote called "wrap" to do this. It compiles with Turbo C 2.0, which I have running on my 200LX. Those 32MB and 64MB 200LX upgrades really look tempting...

Thanks in advance and regards >> I do that on my Omnibook 800CT, configured for FAT32, but interlnk has to be run from outside windows and you have to be wary about blundering over the long filenames. This is an issue more with long filename support, which is also true if you're running Win9x under FAT16. I keep a directory on the Win9x system where I "stage" files for transfer (like Briefcase) in order to minimize the danger to the rest of the Win95 directories. FAT32 isn't an issue at the level where you copy files. It mostly gives the lower level file handling functions the ability to address more clusters and hence support bigger drives and smaller clusters .... but files are typically handled (copied) without user regard for the cluster sizes. For example, you can copy from a floppy disk to the hard drive, and the same file very likely has different cluster sizes on both media, but the OS handles that level of detail for you. As long as you don't use your interlnk connection to run Norton or some other FAT or directory sort program on the FAT32 system you should be fine. Just treat the FAT32 system like you were going to take a banana from a 300 pound gorilla ... very carefully. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2000 09:47:24 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Barry Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Barry Subject: Re: FS: 1Mb 200LX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > PS Unit is for sale as I couldn't get TopSpeed > C to compile successfully.

I've used Microsoft C 5.0 and 6.0, Borland's Turboc C through version 2.0 and Turbo C++ through version 2. Mix Power C works just fine.

I've also used Qbasic, Quick Basic, Power Basic, Forth, Pascal, Prolog, Lisp, Logo and a couple of others on the 200lx. No I don't know all those languages but I've tried them out. Basically I've never had any compiler of any language fail to work on the 200lx except those that require a 386 cpu. And those won't work on a Poqet either. A number of the compilers I've just mentioned are readilly available for download from the internet and are free. Power C is available for sale from Mix for $19.95. It's still being updated. Turbo C can be downloaded from Borland, free. I can't remember if Turbo C++ is there, too, but it's easy to find in any case. So what's the big deal about Top Speed C?

If would be under Start/programs/delorme - IF YOU INSTALLED the Extractor. And it allows you to copy the data from entire states or just certain counties as well as parts of the interstate highway system. The only pain with it it - you have to do all your extractions at that one time if you don't pull all of the states. If you want a different subset, you have to re-extract the states you have and then the new states and the old is overwritten. I have got around that by copying that mapdata subdirectory and created my own subsets. If you copy the entire cd with extractor this would not be an issue. Delorme is considerate enough to realize some folks don't have a cd on their laptop but might want some maps with them! The other message on this thread - I don't know about Encarta but was able to move their old cinermania and the original reference books to my harddrive but it took some finagling!

California Digital might still have them for sale, but the ones they have been selling often have bad batteries. The Poqet Classic and Prime both have Dos 3.3 and have early, pre-standard, PCMCIA slots that can only use SRAM cards, possibly with a 2MB limit. I have a Poqet Prime. It indeed does have a better keyboard than the HP. The screen is full CGA/MDA, but I find that the screen on my HP 95LX is much more readable.

Here are a couple of thoughts. I would first make a backup copy and work with that. You might then try opening a new database {Alt-File-New} and merging the copy into it {Alt-File-Merge}. Another approach would be to open the backup copy and extract the records {Alt-File-Extract} to a new appointment database. In this process you could also clip out old appointments, if you want. For example, I like to keep old appointments for a while (for reference), but only go back 1-2 years. On January 1 each year I extract to a new file all records since the previous January 1.

But I ran the test you suggested anyway. PP-200 Win 95 to 200LX palmtop Large file "BAT865.ZIP" 713,647 bytes. Transfer is from RAM drive F: to flash card A:. baud seconds Bytes/Sec % efficiency 115,200 222 3,215 27.9% Transfer is from RAM drive F: to RAM drive C:. baud seconds Bytes/Sec % efficiency 115,200 215 3,319 28.8% Well there's another data point. A bigger difference than I expected.

He didn't know the exact model description. I received the card without dongle, but for a very good price. First, I ran the acctest.exe utility. This was successful until the external loop test, which couldn't run because of the missing dongle. Then I ran LXCIC which identified the card as an Accton 2212. Now my question: Will I be able to use it with a suitable dongle in the LX? I won't buy a dongle for 50 DM if I don't know if the card will work.

We've checked the configs, looked at MaxDOS, run from plain DOS, and downloaded and reinstalled PE. No luck. I've come to the conclusion that the problem is either: a) user error. Most likely :) b) not enough memory. Although I can't see why. I really like the new outline/database features in PE and suggest that you take a look at them. They really add to the program. If a new version of either program comes out I'll try again to get them to work.

Sounds like time to format c: and re-install everything. I find that doing that at least once a year saves a LOT of trouble. I'm overdue now and I've been putting it off. Both Outlook Express and Windows Explorer start crashing and giving me other problems and nothing really fixes them for more than a few days and that's my cue that it's time to get a fresh start. Walt Disney refused to use Hanna and Barberra's new method for making cheap but bad cartoons. He insisted that "The American People" would never accept such poor quality. Hanna and Barberra and Bill Gates have a much more realistic view of us. They might have learned it from Chef Boy-Ar-Dee.

The reason it's pink is it comes with an old Barbie fashion design software package. The pen mouse is shaped like a fat pen with the serial cable out the top end and has a small ball (about 3/8" diameter) in the tip. I have one that I use with Windows 3.0 on my Poqet. Since the business end is not much bigger than the ball, I can use it on a desk surface, the screen bezel, or even my pants leg. I cut off the DB9 connector and wired it directly to a special connector (that the Poqet needs). -----Original Message----- From: SDG Analytic Ýmailto:ferrier@SDGANALYTIC.COM¨ Sent: Friday, December 15, 2000 11:01 AM To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU Subject: Small mouse ...

The same is true for nearly every program under Windows! I believe the number 95 or 98 stands for the meantimebetweenfailure(mtbf). Sometimes it=B4s unit is minutes, the other time it is hours or at least days. The unit will automatically changed depending on the number of programs used so far and an random factor counted by the number of open gates in your town. Yes, you guessed it: Its the gates-factor! :-) If you have to build on reliability: count on your HPLX! Thy only natural enemy are batteries, which could run out of power in just the wrong moment.

Hmmm... I use Buddy 3.0 and it tells me the battery voltage. From experience whenever it falls to around 2.35V I just recharge it overnight and away it goes. Incidentally, I have noticed some list members talking about the possibility of reducing the life of their unit because of excessive heat during recharging. I have had my LX now since 94 and have never had a problem.

Nowadays it is not difficult to find small mice, but most of them are USB :-( I found one serial mouse, but that one didn't work. I have already one mouse at home that works, but I'm looking for a smaller one. Today I bought a Cirque Glidepoint (Touchpad) on ebay. I tried one in August when I met some other fellow palmtoppers from this list in Vancouver. It was a Cirque Glidepoint GPB120. It worked with a standard Microsoft Mouse driver. The GLidepoint I bought on ebay is another model, but also serial and I hope this one will work, too. > - using a mouse with built-in apps if possible Won't be possible, I think. > - arranging a physically-neat connection to the serial port (now it's 200LX > serial cable to null modem to mouse) Look at my home page (http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/) You'll find two different ways to build a serial connector for the palmtop. > - how to use the mouse on COM1 and still print over the IR port without > swapping cables Won't be possible, I think. I made a batch file for e.g. Word, which asks me before starting the actual program, what is connected: Mouse or Printer or Nothing. Dependant on what I choose, the batch file calls SETCOM1 (by Stefan Peichl, sets parameters of the serial port, d/l from peichl.hplx.net) with different parameters to set the COM port and calls mouse driver if nessecary. After execution of Word, it removes the mouse driver and switches the COM port power off via SETCOM1. Quite comfortable for my needs. I don't know why not every serial mouse works. Maybe it has something to do with the lower voltage of the serial port of the palmtop than of a standard RS232 port.

It didn't work with the palmtop. :-( The fellow list member Don Chow showed me two devices. A Logitech Trackman Voyager and a Cirque Glidepoint GPB120. Both of them worked.

The BIOS data shows how may and how big the ram chips are, and at the release days there was no other models of 200LX than 02 02 02 02 pattern. Then the EMM200 only recognizes that memory model, but later HP releases 200LX with bigger ram chips. The patch is intended to adjust the memory access pattern for the bigger chips. Is it clear?

But this workstation gets the IP address from a DHCP server and therefore I only know the workstations computer name. So by knowing the computer name, how can I get to know the IP address by using 200LX- so I can connect to the installed FTP server?

There was one character in PE.CFG that was wrong: Prog=a;\pim\pim.exe (I had a semicolon instead of a colon) That made all the difference. I've had it wrong in every CFG because I kept copying the old one. While experimenting using the "correct" file, I noticed two things. One was that PICK.EXE still won't work unless I'm running under all available memory or MaxDOS. The other is that PIM won't work correctly unless I'm running under MaxDOS. Without MaxDOS, PIM will open but won't show any entries. Using MaxDOS means that I can't cycle between other programs, which I really like to do. Looks like it's time to upgrade my 2Mb unit :) Thanks again, Hans, for your patient. Now that I've got PE and PIM working I'm sure I'll have more questions.

I wouldn't call it fast, but it's not bad. With an XJ1144 modem it was still "usable", but quite a bit slower. I only tried it a couple times with the modem though. There might have been something else slowing down communication. Even if that's the fastest it will go, it would still be useful for occasional use, or if you "need" to use ssh for a connection. Reading all my email with it would get tedious though. I would say give it a try and see how it works for you. The author recommends using the blowfish cypher on slower machines as it is less cpu intensive.

I've been using it since someone first mentioned it on the list around version 0.2 on my 1x 4mb 200lx. It's noticeably slow, but useable. Just going by eye, sshdos 0.6 feels like 2400 bps over dosppp 0.6. Haven't used it much over lxeth.com, but it felt faster. My setup is includes lxshift, doskey, lxcic, dosclip, jam, and dosppp resident using an external cdpd modem (getting an average 1kbps). I've noticed while using 0.6 that i occasionally get keyboard lock-ups on the lx, which i have to reboot after to fix. I didn't notice this under 0.2-4, but i've increased my usage of sshdos since then. --francois ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2000 20:49:15 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ken London Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ken London Subject: Re: Is everyone hibernating?

I thought about this for a bit, and while i came up with a dozen crazy solutions depending on the workstation os and what the computer name is (my best guess would be windows, the computer name being it's smb identity). But the only thing i can come up with which should work in most situations is getting a dyndns.com domain name (or similar service) and running the auto-update client on the workstation.

I have a similar situation at work, when I want to connect my DOS-based lab computers to my desktop workstation. I usually just check the IP address on my desktop using WINIPCFG, then use the actual address in my command line, e.g., ftp 192.168.0.16 Even though we run DHCP, since we don't cycle off our computers very often, the assigned address rarely changes. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

I think the problems of the computer makers relates to the general slowing down of the economy. The dot.coms are one issue - having lived in a delusion that money grows on trees and that you just need to go to the backyard and shake the "money trees"... Profits? Realistic P/E Ratios? Revenues? What is that? Another part of the slowdown is the oil prices, another is the politics - the previous administration pumped lots of "incentives" into the economy to make it look good for the voters. Time is up, the voters have spoken (but variably and possibly ignored ) Worldwide, the economic state is tightly connected to oil prices, but also to technology. HP is a huge supplier of technology companies, and they slowed down, so HP must shrink. Why they did not plan for a less rich day is arguably a failing of the internal geeks, or perhaps just their intentional omission - take the bonuses and run... >Also HP slit their own throat when they discontinued the hp200lx. >(this is an hp200lx newsgroup...had to work the 200lx in their somewhere.) the 200LX provided a mere nit to the income at HP in its best days. I doubt that economically it was slitting a throat to dump the 200LX. However, strategically it was a mistake. But an even larger mistake is the adoption of a loser platform like WinCE. >HP would be making a ton of money if they were selling an updated hp200lx >(faster processor, color display, backlighting, same size and battery life, >same operating system). Make money yes. Profitably, probably, but I doubt it would make a difference in the state of the company as a whole - they would probably still force everyone to take a week off in January.

If the latter then while the address could be correct, the entries you have for the DNS servers may be wrong. In many ISPs I believe the DNS servers need to match the dial-up number used (i.e. a different dial-up may require a different DNS server number). Some it just works but you may be going twice round the (electronic) planet to do DNS lookups. You can check this by using the numeric format of the POP3 server name. I have...for the mailhost for Compuserve the POP server is 'pop.compuserve.com', and in the locale I seem to have a primary DNS of 149.174.211.5 and secondary of 195.232.1.7. If I recall this was because I found I was getting different ones back from Compuserve. A good way to check is always to use a Win95 or whatever system with any ISP-supplied software and then use ipconfig or winipcfg to see what the ISP is telling the PC to use. You can also get from SUPER some utilities that will allow you to do NSLOOKUP operations - not sure what they are all called but should be easy to find - associated with the WATTCP name. You can then use the ALT-S escape from GP to a C:\> prompt, and try doing nameserver lookups or PING the POP server. I guess you can even telnet to port 110 if you know the POP commands.

I think you are refering to my suggestion about checking the DHCP-assigned IP address, and just using that from your palmtop. I still think my suggestion has some merit - if you are leaving the country, or even the building, where your workstation is, then you are probably leaving it turned on. In this case, would not your DHCP-assigned IP address remain the same? If you have a coworker shutting down your computer each night, then perhaps not. But I will note that our DHCP server has some "memory" effect; I can turn my computer off, and then on the next morning and it will be assigned the same IP address. One other possibility I thought of in your case would be to just manually assign an IP address to your single workstation, choosing one that is high in your range and not likely to be assigned by the DHCP server. Alternatively your DHCP server may have the capability to make some assignments "fixed". > The interesting thing is that when a ping 'computer name' > using a Windows PC on the network, I get a reply with the IP address. > But when I use the 200LX and ping the computer name, it doesn't work. > So has Microsoft really an extra feature in their ping- or what? In your TCP/IP setup on your 200LX, have you specified a valid nameserver? Just a thought. Good luck with your endeavours.

Please bear with the following long post. In early November, I purchased a 20MB flash card from him, which he has said in posts to the list will work in the 95LX. The card arrived promptly, in bubble pack in a padded envelope ($0.99 postage). The card was in working order, and will work in a 200LX, but it did not work in my 95LX (the screen blanked or froze, requiring a Crtl-Shift-On reboot). I immediately emailed Scott, telling him this and asking to return the card for a refund. Scott replied that I just needed the right drivers, and should post a request on the list. To that I replied that I had the SunDisk drivers, but the card didn't work. I asked Scott if he knew which drivers were required and if he knew of someone who was using the card in a 95LX. Scott replied that he had "sold these cards to quite a few people in the past that use HP95LX's," but he was not sure what drivers were needed. At this point, I posted a question on the list, explaining my problem. I got one serious response, suggesting that it was a power problem. I then decided to sell the card, posted a FS to the list, and got several responses. In the end, I was able to trade the card to another list member for a 5MB SunDisk card and a 10MB Epson-branded SunDisk card. Both cards work in my 95LX with the drivers I have. Because I was able to get other cards, I did not push the issue with Scott. I would note that Scott never offered to take a return on the card. I would also note that since the time Mark Shields posted about his problems with the Zip drive, Scott has reposted his FS several times without any changes. I would conclude that if you want to buy from Scott, insist beforehand that he will accept a return for a refund if the item arrives DOA or does not work as advertised. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Shields Ýmailto:beamsplitter@JUNO.COM¨ Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2000 7:55 PM To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU Subject: Re: Scott Moore/Zip Drive ...

I downloaded VDE and it seems to be exactly what I was looking for. This reply is written with VDE. A very comfortable editor with lots of features. It's still a little bit unfamiliar for me, due to the different key assignments etc (I used PE before). But I can get used to it, I think. I love the mode without any Function key line or status line on the screen, only the text and the menu only if I call it with the menu key! :-) One thing I'm really missing is the excellent search capability of PE.

This may not relate to your search, but I thought I would re-mention a couple things about the archives. The current search engine does have some limitations which cause a lot of searches of the archives to fail. The big one is don't use any common words in your search. The engine should ignore them, but instead it causes a segmentation fault, and you get nothing. For example, searching for "convert to csv" will not work because the word "to" is too common. Just search for "convert csv" and you'll get a number of hits. The second most common problem I see is searching for words with a period ('.') in them. For example, searching for "filer.ini" will not get any results. The search engine indexer treats the period as a sentence break, and so this is indexed as two words. Searching for "filer ini" will yield a number of hits. There is a new version of the search engine that corrects both of these problems, but the indexing step needs large amounts of memory, and the indexes created are much larger than the version I have running. I need to determine if the current system can handle it. If the problem you have isn't one of the above I would appreciate your letting me know, and I will try to correct it.

I'm, not quite sure how you tell MT what port to use, but I bet you can - and there are better Telnets. You can work out from GP output the required commands, but basically it is: USER (your POP user name) PASS (you POP password - which will be echoed) then I think you have commands like LIST, UIDL, TOP n m where n is the message number and m the number of lines to show, READ n where n is the message number, and crucially QUIT to get out. You *may* get more useful information doing it by hand. I think there's some stuff in the GP manual about servers that require or must not have the HELO message. Not sure which bit that comes in - looks like it is with the ISP not the POP server. But I have it set to not skip the HELO. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2000 13:28:49 +0100 Reply-To: furlan@gmx.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Dr. Werner Furlan" Organization: OE9FWV Subject: Re: 200LX NETWORK QUESTION MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT hi, I can ping a windows computername in our network.

"SYNC displays a synchronized listing of two directories, graphically showing the difference between the two. SYNC also provides keystroke commands that will let you copy indi- vidual files between the directories, or automatically copy all the files necessary to make both directories equal." Sort of like a Filer app that has some date sense. "UP2DATE compares the contents of multiple directories and subsequently copies the most up-to-date files to a target directory." If the file's date and time are good enough indicators of what needs to be copied, these might help.

Change color depth to 16 Colors c. Convert to greyscale d. Convert to Windows Bitmap (BMP) Note: Unfortunately, I found IrfanView's resizing function unsatisfactory, as it tended to crop or wrap icon edges. 2. Import the 16 color, greyscaled bitmap into a image editing program, eg. Photoshop or Canvas. 3. Change the icon's resolution to a width of 44 pixels, and a height of 32 pixels. 4. Change the image mode to "black and white", using a pattern dither halftone method. Note: in some cases a diffusion may dither give better results. 5. Invert the icon's colors, i.e. create a negative image. 6. Export the icon image as a Windows bitmap file. 7. Process the icon bitmap file with the bmp2icn utility.

Ideally, I like to have a tool which > intelligently performs all the conversion in one step. ; ) I haven't found any all-in-one tool to do this yet, but with practice you'll be able to do this pretty easily with a decent paint program and bmp2icn. Open your source image in your paint program, and adjust the brightness/contrast, saturation and gamma to get the highest contrast for your detail using the minimum number of colors. Then use a threshold or dither tool (a 2x2 Ordered Dither usually works best) to render it B&W only. If the image size is less than 44Wx32H, create a new picture at 44x32 and copy the image content into it. If the image size is greater than 44x32, you'll have to scale or crop it. Finally, reverse the image to negative and save as a .BMP. *Then* you can use BMP2ICN to convert it to an .ICN for the palmtop. Alternatively, you can leave the image as a positive, save it to .PCX, then use PCX2ICN to convert it. (I believe that the .ICN format is really .IMG with a different extension, but I haven't tested this.) Either way, it must leave your paint program as a 2-color (B&W) image, exactly 44 pixels wide by 32 pixels tall. If you really want to save yourself the trouble, you might find the icon you want among the over 1,000 at the S.U.P.E.R Icon Server: http://www.palmtop.net/cgi-bin/supericons or in my collection of Win icons for X-Finder at: http//www.palmtop.net/anonftp/pub/xfwinicn.zip Alternatively, you could e-mail your .ICOs to me, and I'll see what I can do...

It is a fairly simple straightforward process. But leaving someone hanging without telling them you didn't send a power supply and with a damaged product is a no-no. I have considered buying from you but now won't because I am afraid the product will be 'damaged in shipping' and I will be stuck with it. Every person I have delt with simply takes the item back if it gets damaged somehow in shipping. If things are properly packaged they won't become damaged in transit anyhow. This has been a recurring question and now has become a problem. I would suggest you fix it to the customers satisfaction. What would you be out- 20 bucks? What is 20 dollars compared to loosing the list's trust! If you have sold 'hundreds' of items you should realize that you have a sweet deal going and right now you are heading right into a brick wall.

Second, let me say to Scott, that Scott, I think that you are missing the point of all the postings, and your posting does nothing to help by omitting the most important issue. People are not complaining about the fact that the item was damaged by the post office, that could happen to anyone. They are upset over the lack of resolution of the problem, and your postings don't address this at all. I think that you have two choices. You need to either ... 1) Give the guy his money back, or make good in some other way (trade some other item), and chalk it up to experience with uninsured mail and tell the list what you did. or 2) Not give his money back and explain to everyone on the list your reasoning. Right now it is a "he said he said" situation, that isn't going to go away, because from an objective point of view (mine!) you are both right. If I were Solomon I would cut the Zip drive in half. You know that you sent a good drive, he knows that it came broken. You know it was the post office, he knows that it was "bad packing". You know he didn't choose insurance, he knows it was unreasonably packed. You know that you didn't mention a power supply, he knows that a power supply is included in the Zip package. You can see that you both have valid points of view and that the blame can't be assined to either one of you. I really think that you need to take some steps to resolve this.

Once he gets your money, he never, under any circumstances, will give it back. His postings should state that or he should be banished from the island. It's time for a tribal council. d;-) Scott sells at bargain basement prices. As long as the risk of dealing with him is stated plainly in each post, he provides a valuable service.

Not in all cases....there are shipping terms that companies use where the responsibility for damage depends who has title to the item at the time of damage. There are times when items are shipped and the carrier is responsible for damage after it leaves the seller and before it arrives at the customer. Before blaming either parties I would point out that as a general rule...shipping carriers are scum. Many of these carriers are clearly responsible for damage legally but will go to great lengths to avoid paying on those claims. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2000 13:31:29 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , sponsor@FTEL.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: fluff: photo Comments: To: nvassoc@ATTGLOBAL.NET In-Reply-To: <20001221.16461714@mis.configured.host> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed At 12/21/00 +0000, you wrote: > > Checked out your pics!

I have a couple of comments to make here. First, "Methinks thou doth protest too much." > Well honestly I know in my heart that I have helped > hundreds of people on our list and they have been very happy with my > service and I am sorry that some people have to lash out this way Let's start here. You are in business to make money. There is nothing wrong with this fact. I have seen noone lash out at you. Some have questioned your ethics and nearly all have suggested you take some responsibility for poor shipping and packaging practices. After I bought my card from you and you shipped it unprotected in a paper envelope, several suggested you package better. It is apparent our suggestions were not taken to heart. > but I > know in my that I have always done my best and will continue to do so > because they are still alot of people out there who are really happy that I > am here to help them. Here again I suggest that you are not as altruistic as you would have us believe. You are not giving this stuff away liked Santa. You are selling it to us. I am certain you are making some profit on these deals. I will, in all likelihood, not purchase again from you. I will not encourage others to do so. You packaged my first purchase, aPCMCIA card, improperly and for my send purchase misrepresented your vinyl PCMCIA cases as being made of leather. If this is your best, I want to state that it is not up to my own standards for best. It does not even qualify as good. >Thanks alot for your input If indeed you are thankful for our input, and accept it in the spirit it is given, you will make right the deal on the Zip Drive. I go on the record as stating that you should no longer be allowed to post to the list until the deal is fixed to the satisfaction of Mark (and perhaps, others on the list) I apologize for the tirade. I cannot sit idle and watch an injustice be perpetrated unopposed.

I have been in the computer service business 20 years. One thing that I learned a long time ago was... Make it right. My guarantee has always been if it is anything at all related to what I did, I'll take care of it. The only time that I gave a time limit was if pressured by the customer. Then I would state 30 days. (They would have had a longer warrenty otherwise). Shipping was charged for. Use that money to send the product priority mail in a box. Need packing materials? Stuff in newspapers. Problem with a transaction? Make it right. Replace or refund. Send chocolate to repair the emotions after the transaction is fixed. Problems happen when selling used equipment. Just take care of it.

I work on many projects each day and will frequently drop one project while taking a call on another project, and then return to work on the first project. In my mind, "resume" ought to start an *additional* entry with the same information (including the memo). What I do now is use F2 (add) to start the second entry, and then retype the memo. Often I just type "continue" and rely on the previous entry for the description. I'm not sure what the purpose of the Resume function is as written. I suppose if you made an entry and then got called away before actually doing any work, you could use it to adjust the starting time when you *did* start working on it. To me this would be called "restart" rather than resume, though. > 2) What kind of > spreadsheet report does it make? Can the report be directly opened by > the built-in Lotus?

I'm not sure which poster you're calling to, there have been at least three who posted about StarTac 7868W-200LX connectivity. Stan was the first, and was pretty clear nothing special was needed--it worked out of the box. My experience was confounded by a faulty Motorola data cable. Once I got that straightened out, the process was as simple as this: *edit my LXTCP dialing script from com2 --> com1 *enable com1 in Setup {Control-Filer,F6} *connect HP serial cable to black gender changer to Motorola data cable *connect cable assembly to 200LX and StarTac *fire up LXTCP It works with amazingly little setup or fiddling around. Speeds seem to be in the 9600 range for me--I often use a 14.4 PCMCIA modem, and the wireless connection is noticeably slower. Still, it is sweet to be able to grab e-mail or go online when my teenagers have the phone tied up, or I'm in a place without phone data ports. Hope that helps. Feel free to post specific questions.

You're not being flamed because the post office screwed up. I'm not sure flamed describes this anyway. I think everyone, including me, is upset that we've let you use our listserve for business puproses, which is to say we've made an exception for you. We've done that because you've been offering us something that's useful to people on this listserve and you've seemed to offer good deals and to deal honestly with people. But now we find out that one of your practices is less than acceptable and we're saying so. The ones speaking up are saying so. I think so far most people haven't commented. I'm really just speaking for myself and trying to interpret what I think a few others are saying. I do a lot of buying over the internet. I'm very careful who I buy from. I haven't been happy with every deal I've made on the internet but so far I don't think I've been burned. I expect it to happen eventually and I'm kind of paranoid about it. The first time I became aware of you was when you sold someone a card that arrived bent and not usable and you didn't feel responsible for it. For that reason I was a little nervous about you. But since then I've seen a lot of posts here thanking you for a good deal and I got less nervous. But now the same thing has happened again, and more than once, it seems. I think that if I were to buy something from you, it's my responsibility to see that the money gets to you. If it gets lost in the mail, that's my problem, not yours. I owe you the agreed price and I continue to owe it to you untill you have it in your hand. It really has to be this way or I could claim that I sent it and I'm not responsible because the post office lost it. If business worked that way I could get anything I wanted, free. I'd be the best equipped gadget lover in town. By the same token if you sell me something it's your responsibility to get it to me in the condition you say it's in. If you offer a bent card for sale and I buy it, I have no complaint. If you offer a working card for sale and it's damaged when I get it, you haven't fulfilled your part of the deal yet. When and how it got bent isn't an issue. Again, it has to be that way because it's impossible for me to know the condition when you sent it. You're obligated to get to me what I'm obligated to get you the money for. And both should be as good as promised. If I fail to get the money we've agreed on into your hands, I've cheated you. If you fail to get the device in the condition we've agreed on into my hands, you've cheated me. There's no universal law that says this is the way business must be transacted on the internet. But it's pretty much the way everyone does it. The complaints you're hearing are because you don't seem to hold to this same ethic and you don't seem to think we should expect you to. The message that you're getting is that we expect you to. Your customers are telling you, pretty politely, I think, that they don't accept what seems to be your idea: that once it leaves your hands it's not your responsibility. You have to decide whether to listen to your customers and consider what they say, or to say they're flaming you. But, I think, even more important than that is a statement of principle from you so we'll know what to expect from you in the future. I've asked you for that in an earlier post and a couple of others have, too. What do you believe? Do you believe that when the item leaves your hands it's no longer your responsibility? Or do you believe you're obligated to get the item in the stated condition into your customer's hands. I think we have a right to know that from you, stated clearly and unambiguously. In my opinion, and I'm only speaking for myself, I think you should either tell us what we should expect from you or you should stop offering things for sale on this list. If what you believe is that youre only responsible till it leaves your hands, fine. That's a reasonable approach as long as you tell us that up front. Then we know what to expect and we make our buying decisions accordingly. If you believe you are responsble to get the promised item in the promised condition into your customer's hands, then tell us that. And do it. And expect people to feel cheated if you don't. If you won't state clearly what you think your obligations are, I'd like to see the members of this list and the list owner begin to consider no longer making an exception allowing you to do regular sales on this list.

I've wondered about this, too. But there hasn't been any indication that these cards and other parts weren't honestly obtained and as long as there isn't, I think we have to assume that they were. I do know there are people who make a living buying and selling things in newsgroups, auctions, etc. In fact I looked into that a little this past week. My 85 year old retired father wants something to occupy his time and we spent a number of hours surfing to find things he might buy and sell on the net and places he might buy and sell them. There used to be a guy on comp.sys.hp48 who always had 1 meg Grid cards for sale at a very low price. About 1/10th the price of a new HP card. These were used, of course. They worked in the 48 but there was some risk in using them. I bought 2 of them and when I got the second one I drove 100 miles to his city to pick it up. More for the weekend drive than because I was in a hurry. Over lunch he gave me the details about where he got the steady supply of cards. I don't remember the details now. It was some company that had umpteen cases of them in stock and the devices they were made for were well out of date, so they sold them to him by the case for very little. He was using it to help pay his way through school. So it can happen.

My Ricochet rep has just informed me that they now have a PCMCIA card modem! I don't know anything about the specs, and I'm sure if anyone asks they will be told it doesn't support DOS, but they say the same thing ab out their existing modems. If by any chance this modem would work IN the 200LX, it would be far more appealing to me. I use my current Ricochet modem only with my laptop since I don't want to be bothered holding the Palmtop and the Ricochet both at the same time.

As a prospective customer of yours in Australia I am not prepared to order from you under your present conditions. I also require that you offer the following. 1) A money back guarantee if the item is not as described or is returned within x time in same condition. 2) "Custom" packaging (at extra cost if needed) ie 4 layers of bubble wrap in a box with pellet fillers. 3) Invitation for feedback public and private so any difficulties that arise can be prevented in the future. 4) Electronic payment options such as Paypal, Credit Card or e-gold. (these can all be put in place at no cost to you). (I am not prepared to send a check) As a mail order merchant in Australia with over 50,000 customers I learned that the customer is ALWAYS right. Look at all the successful department stores policies. They are successful for many reasons. One of those is a no questions refund policy in all cases I believe. Scott if you care about a continued business here I urge you to replace Marks Zip drive with a working one..even if brand new from a Circuit city type store at a loss for you ASAP.

Tom, I hope this makes it onto the list. I've been lurking for some time here, but haven't tried posting until now. The solution to your equation is "QCP-2760". I use my Qualcomm QCP-2760 phone with SprintPCS and WWW/LX, and it works great! I did a lot of research to find a solution that meets my needs, because I want to be able to connect to the web while in digital or analog mode. Like you, I find the sales people in the stores, as well as tech support people on the phone, to be pathologically incapable about answering questions that don't involve MS Windows. The solution I found uses the Qualcomm "Data on the Go" card. This is a PCMCIA card that allows landline connections at 33.6K baud, analog cellular connections at 9.6K baud, and digital (CDMA) cellular connections at 14.4K baud. The card detects if the phone is in a digital or analog coverage area and adjusts accordingly. The card draws 150 mA, and works fine in my 200LX. I got mine on eBay for about $40, but I haven't seen one with the cable for the QCP-2760 (or QCP-860, which uses the same cable) go for that price in a long time. When you are in a digital coverage area, you can also use the serial port with the cable from the Sprint/Qualcomm "Data Connectivity Kit". This approach draws less from the batteries, but only works with a digital connection. You will need a null modem and the HP serial cable to make this work. Like others who like to travel light, I objected to the need to carry two cables and a null modem around. I am fortunate to work with a very capable electronics technician, and he solved my problem. He used a moto-tool to split open the DB-9 connector, and discovered a tiny circuit board inside the shell. He then removed the circuit card, discarded the DB-9 shell, and soldered on a short cable with a 10-pin connector that plugs directly into the serial port on the HP200LX. This is not an operation for the faint of heart or technically-challenged, but it can be done. Good luck!

I am and have been a member of several e-mail based discussion groups for several years.

None of the other five lists I presently subscribe to allow commercial FS messages, and certainly not from people who don't contribute anything useful to the list! To Scott, I'll simply say. One of the first rules of running a business is that the customer is always right.

Hi Michael Berrier wrote (>): > other companies like Siemens (?? 35) , Psion > and others are still counting on the DOS? version > of their equipment, there is a market for such > types of organizers/Pocket PC. Come again? Psion have not built a DOS computer for a million years, and those were notebooks, not palmtops. They released the new EPOC operating system somewhere around 3 1/2 years ago to replace the old SIBO OS used on the series 3, 3a, 3c, 3mx and Siena machines. EPOC is a totally modern multitasking OS purpose designed from the bottom up for handheld devices. I have been a "power user" of EPOC palmtop computers for three years. EPOC is the most stable OS I've ever worked with on any computer. It is quite normal for an EPOC computer to be booted only once when the machine is new, and then the OS just keeps going. I have no problems having 20 - 30 applications open at the same time, and they can be different applications or several instances of the same application working on different files. There are thousands of different applications available for EPOC for just about any task. BTW, for those who think they can't live without DOS, there is an XT-emulator for EPOC. > It is not all about WIN CE equipment. No, it certainly isn't! However, I don't think there is much of a market for a DOS palmtop in the future. I think part of the reason there are still so many HPLX users on this list is that not that they have not been able to find anything better, but a case of if it ain't broken, don't fix it! Personally, I have invested not only money in paying for my EPOC computers and software, but a lot of time in developing my knowledge of the OS and the applications to a level where my Ericsson MC218 is a useful tool rather than a learning experience. Just like I would not like to go through the same process again every time someone brings out a new OS or some exiting new hardware, I can very well understand why experienced HPLX users do not wish to change to a new Palmtop and OS before they have to. Another reason why people aren't giving up their HP's for something more modern is probably that Psion haven't done much to market their machines outside of Europe. Given the choice between a HPLX and a WinCE machine, I would find it hard to decide. The HP would give me simplicity, a stable OS and this list, the WinCE would give me a proper keyboard, a touch sensitive colour screen and new advanced applications being developed. If you add EPOC / Psion to the equation, there is no contest. In a Psion S5mx or Ericsson MC218 you get a very stable OS, lots and lots of great freeware, shareware and commercial applications being continually developed and supported, a great keyboard and a touch sensitive screen. At present the only palmtop size EPOC computer with a colour screen is the Nokia 9210 communicator phone, but we are expecting a lot of new devices within the next six months. If you can live with a subnotebook sized device, you can get colour EPOC on the Psion Series 7 and NetBook.

I am in a strange position, being a member of the community, and a vendor to the same community. I am not sure it is right for me to say anything about another vendor. I have expressed my views in private to several people. Let me speak to the general issue of the relationship. Bad shipments happen. There are plenty of goons and gorillas hired by all the entities that ship. If that isn't sufficient to break things, the airlines add their own gorillas to batter packages further. We all know this is a reality. We have all received packages before that seem to have travelled to hell and back - at least by their appearance. Some have clearly travlled to war zones and have been used in the front in (very) active duty! :) Fortunately, what D&A sends out almost never breaks, and even then the diskettes contents can always be emailed. But manuals were lost before. In a cse just a month ago, a package sent via US Postal Services went to the big giant receptacle in the sky somewhere, never to be seen again. For all I know, the customer got it and kept it to have another copy, or it really got lost - I don't know for sure. Timing was good: I called on the customer to follow up since I heard nothing from him. He admitted that he was about to send me an impatient message. So I got in just on time. I spent the $11.75 to send a replacement by Express Mail because the customer was unhappy. I also asked him to send back the other (first) package if, and when it arrives. At my cost. It felt like he turned around, and was not upset, and in fact felt well taken care of. I work within a community where many many people are friends, and I know so many names, and have had personal correspondence with many many of you. I like it this way. I think it is the best way to work - with friends, in something that interests me. I think I am very fortunate. Is the customer always right? Hahahaha! No. Not nearly. But it makes no difference who is right. This is about a trust bond between someone who sends money, to buy and unseen item, to someone he/she have never seen before and do not know, in exchange for a promised item. This trust cannot be broken. Some of you know that I am not reluctant or shy to criticize customers, sometimes even in public, if that is what I thought was right to do. (Sometimes I even regretted the strength of my criticism :> ...) But in terms of making things right, the customer is right, always. Regardless of who is right. When I send something to someone, I own it until the customer sends back a confirmation - "it arrived, and it works." The is an old saying that it takes 12 satisfied customers to balance out a foulup with one. I am mindful of this. I think anyone who sells anything to others should engrave this in reverse on their chest - big letters - so when they look in the mirror every day, they can see this: "Fix the screw up, regardless of who is right." :) (Well, that's a lot to carve in flesh...) I am hoping for the customer in question here that he gets an email on Xmas day from his vendor saying: "send it back, I'll send another, good one, at no cost to you, with my compliments." I hope for the vendor in question that he wakes up. I read many "ban Scott" posts, and that means his reputation is in the toilet. It does not mean no one will buy from him, but his reputation and the trust he worked hard to build, and touts in his posts, that is in the toilet. I hope he finds somewhere among the hundreds of cards that he sold sufficient profit to cover this one loss, and maybe one or two others. I hope for all of us that we do not lose a vendor who provided something useful to many of us. I also commend this group for the exceptional courtesy given to the customer, the vendor, and everyone who posted about it - we seem to be maturing as a group. Thank you all for this. Finally, I wish you all Happy Holidays from my heart. Whatever you happen to celebrate, or to not celebrate , hopefully this is a good time for you in your life, and the beginning of a lovely future. (I know I am safe to express this non-religious sentiment vis-a-vis my dear and enchanting friend, the lovely and healing Nathalie, since she is celebrating the holidays with her Mom, but I don't know if this is sufficiently devoid of religious content to remain safe from the wrath of the nordic Grinch, Lars :-> ....) All the best to you all!

Wrong...I have found nothing better on the market. I have looked at every device out there and found nothing that comes within a million miles of the 200lx. I own other devices and compared to the 200lx they suck big time.

Don't know what your problem is but the screw is a Torx T6. You can't buy a T6 driver at just any hardware store, I know because I looked all around. I ended up getting a set of German Wiha small Torx screwdrivers from www.action-electronics.com after I messed up the heads on a couple of these with a .050 Allen wrench. Dont glue it! There is something wrong under there and if you've never had a 200LX apart before I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself. I myself have never had a 200LX apart but I've taken my nonfunctional 100LX apart and I suspect internally the 100LX and 200LX are similar. At the right back corner is the connector for the external power supply with some small loose wires that are also connected to the motherboard. There are also two metal rods back there running from the battery receptacle to clips on the motherboard. My suspicion is that either these rods have come unclipped, or more likely, the small loose wires that run from the external power socket to the motherboard have somehow worked their way between the top and bottom plastic halves in the area of the screw posts. When you put a 100LX case back together it is easy to get these small wires sandwiched in between the screw posts so that the case won't close properly. Better send it to Thaddeus to have it fixed before something inside gets fried and your palmtop is toast.

Just some of my musings. Scott probably doesn't visit the list very often and this is why so many posts go by before he responds. True, when he finally does respond he misses the point. His sales, particularly of flash disks is interesting. He's selling a used product but we don't know how much it's been used. He claims to use them just for "prototype testing" and when that's done he/his client has no more need for them. Couldn't he set aside say 5-10 flash disks to be used for prototype testing? When he's finished testing a unit, he simply formats the disk and away he goes. Now he's saving the client the cost of a new flash disk.

One thing that might be helpful from the business world is: where is the sale is considered *made*? This is typically spelled out by a statement on the order such as "FOB seller's dock", or alternatively, "FOB buyer's dock".

Someone else noted the type of driver needed. I've also heard of a few cases where the screw stripped the threads in the upper case. In which event folks have plugged it back with an epoxy putty but not to permanently anchor the screw - just to give it something to grab. I would guess it was done with putty, screw in the screw, to set the thread mold, unscrew and allow it to harden?

It's critical that this screw is tight as it presses the press fit connector area of the motherboard and the leads to the screen together. Glueing does not help. The right tool for the srew is a Torxx screwdriver but you can use a standart x-shaped screwdriver as well. No need to open the case.

While it will not make Mark's situation go away, let's not forget that Scott has in many instances provided great service (and we have public feedback to prove it). So, let's keep the facts straight and our heads cool. If you stopped buying from every store that has one dissatisfied customer or stopped buying from any ebay seller that has only one bad feedback, thing would get restrained real fast. For the record, knowing all these things about scott only makes him a less attractive deal than before, that's all. Something for me to keep in mind. And for all those who join the list and don't know scott, may I suggest that we find a way to rate sellers (in a page maintained by Al or something) in a way similar to eBay. Now this may now be necessary since there are only a few sellers, but if the safety of newbies are at stake, we should find a good solution for this problem. On the other hand, I know that many people just want Scott to make amends so that things get resolved, and this may just happen. But then again it may not. One way or the other, the show must go on...

Comments: To: "thomas e. nemeth" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Thomas, Lars and anyone else who cares, Vegetarianism is a choice and like many choices it is based on an opinion formed by the accumulation of facts. Lars formed his opinion and is entitled to it. I would like to point out that this doesn't invalidate anyone else's opinion or holiday wish . Everyone has one based on their own facts accelerated through life experiences. I do, however, have to agree with you that the original Vikings, like the ones that discovered North America as evidenced in archaeological record, were originally onivorous. It was a matter of survival to eat a varied diet. No political correctness (I hate this term) was a consideration in those long gone days. Speaking of opinions, this is mine and doesn't stand any higher than any other. I for one am an omnivore. This is a personal choice. As far as the other comments regarding Avi's holiday wish for us, I think it only natural that it would be offered to friends and acquaintances made over the years of being part of this list. Lars, I have enough American Indian blood, I won't go into tribal history right now. It is a bit murky as a result of the Trail of Tears episode, but I would like to say that I have been taught by my parents to respect and pay homage to the animals that I kill. I only kill for food not for trophy. This is not my way and is, again, only my opinion based on my own personal life experiences and it is very personal. Cheers, William E.

Trying to contribute: 1.get an e-mail program (see below) 2.transfer the program to your palmtop via: - connectivity pack or - memory card or -datacomm or -laplink 3.install a modem in your palmtop: -internal PCMCIA, power draw less than 150mA -external on serial port -you can also buy a GSM phone with modem (with data cable or infrared connection) 4. set up and go. E-mail programs: I will only comment on two, not having tried others. -POST/LX part of the www/lx suite (that, with HV, also allows webaccess) In my opinion, a little bit more complicated to set up compared to Goin'Postal.

Mack has a Prius??? Cool! How are they different from the Honda version, Insight I think it's called? I was going to go look at one last summer when the gas prices went over $2.00 a gallon in Chicago, but a friend said the dealers were sold out and didn't even have any on display.

It might be a discussion of the reasons that guy was carrying that cross and wearing that crown of thorns. Or maybe they made bets on whether he'd trip before he reached the corner. We could hear the various betters cheering him on. Nathalie, maybe they'll be discussing the medical reprocussions of what was about to happen to him.

Maybe the Sanhedrin was standing next to one of the shops and we'll hear them discussing the political ramifications.

The original Idea was to get on the local area network here at work. 1) I first tried the software that came with the card. I first tested with 1STEP.EXE, the installation and testing program. Everything went well, except that it said to reboot as the configuration had changed. After that it would fail the CRC test. (On a laptop it failed the I/O test?) 2) As I got the CRC check failing when testing with the supplied software, I went to their web site, got their trouble shooting FAQ and newer versions of the software. The stuff from Accton was a new version of the diskette that came with the card, 1STEP.EXE and so forth. Which cleared up the CRC failure. See http://www.accton.com.sg/accton/drivers/support_index.html and look for EN2216 Ver 1.05. From a thread on the HPLX list at the end of November, I got ACCTEST.EXE from Dr. Werner Furlan at his site www.qsl.net/oe9fwv/Acctest.exe. This seems to have the same test as the 1STEP.EXE install program from Accton. 3) The install program tried to install a version of ETHPCM.DOS, which is an NDIS driver. And it choked badly, with some configuration error. 4) I went to Roger Whitby's site http://rwhitby.hplx.net and http://rwhitby.hplx.net/lxmnc/index.html and got his networking setup LXMNC10B.ZIP. That version of ETHPCM.DOS loaded properly. However, the network was unreachable with his setup. I think I could have tracked down the problem as a configuration problem, but I then tried loading DLS. 5) IBM's DOS LAN Services (DLS) came with the LAN Server software, so the configuration ought to be correct. So, with INTERSVR turning my desktop into a slow floppy drive, I went through the install process (any number of times). Basicly, the install software is weirdly particular. And did you know you can use ASSIGN.COM to crash Windows 95 in a ugly way? Wrapping up a long story, I used SUBST to equate A: and C: so the install program would find the right copies of AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS. I blew away everything on my C: drive so there would be enough space to install DLS. Pointed COMSPEC to c:\ and put a copy of COMMAND.COM there. And I discovered that a partial install would cause a subsequent install to fail. I followed the Accton instructions to first install the LAN Support Program (LSP) and then install DLS. That may be a waste of time as all the LSP stuff is ignored in the final DLS setup. I was able to access the network, but with a number of error messages and with only the basic requester. The full requester generated an error 50, unsupported network function. 6) Went from version 4.0 of DLS to version 5.0. Uses more disk space, but no other difference that I can see. And I tried the generic NE2000 NDIS driver to see if that made a difference. It gets the same sort of ~ unable to configure or bind ~ errors that the stock ETHPCM.DOS driver gets. So, I have access to the server and the network. I can't use any of the functions that require the full version of the requester. This basicly means that you need to know what's on the network as you can't look for it. The only remaining nit to report appears to be the low card battery warnings. This pops up every once in a while, just to get your attention. So, I can get on the network with the EN2216-2 card. But to be practical I'll need to get a larger C: drive to hold more files. A stock 4 Mb 200LX isn't a very good network workstation.

It was designed to make a small part of RAM look like a disk. The upside was that you could save info to a RAM disk much faster than you could to a 5.25" floppy. The downside was that if you forgot to save the RAM disk to the floppy, and the system crashed, you'd lose all the info. There's really no benefit that I can think of to having another TSR (or driver) to emulate a RAM drive on the LX. All the "disks" for the LX are solid state anyway and are as fast if not faster than any of the early RAM drives. To go the other way and convert some of the solid state memory to give the LX what looks like more RAM, you could use EMM200 or TREMM. You still won't be able to get beyond the 640K limit of DOS. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2000 23:33:52 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Russel Brooks Sender: HPLX Mailing List Comments: RFC822 error: Incorrect or incomplete address field found and ignored.

In fact the desktop and scientific are totally seperate calculators so you can copy and paste between them. There are also a couple of different third party calculators including a HP scientific calculator clone and a tiny onscreen calculator which can be "floated over" other applications. None of the present crop of EPOC computers have numeric keypads, but since they have touch sensitive screens and the calculators have onscreen buttons, I doubt if you can input numbers any faster into the HP calculator than on an EPOC machine. Since EPOC is a true multitasking OS, you can get at the calculator(s) regardless what other software is running. > I'm certainly not a power user but the existance of this list is > also a strong incentive. > Although I have only scratched the surface of what the > machine can do I feel better knowing that there is a > knowledgeable and dedicated group that understands the > internal working of my little computer. There is an excellent e-mail based mailing list for the EPOC computers available through http://www.pinkworks.com/pda/s5list.html Many very experienced users follow the list as well as several EPOC software developers. > technology is the answer, what was the question :o) PS. I'm not suggesting that you should all get rid of your HP's and buy EPOC machines, but they are worth considering if you are looking for something else. If you are happy with your HP, then by all means keep on using it!

It gave me the confidence to assume that the error I was getting from the software, which was a loud beep accompanied by "Unrecoverable error #68" was not due to not having used VDISK. I only just worked it out! Before starting I need to do mode LPT1:=3DCOM1: The stupid software *assumes* I have a printer on LPT1!!! Now it just complains that I don't have the printer turned on and it is usable!! I might try and use one of those utilities that captures LPT1 output and puts it in a file. It is great fun getting this old software going again.

It was called Virtual Memory and was made possible by a hardware feature of IBM mainframes called DAT--Dynamic Address Translation. It fooled your program into thinking it had far more available memory by keeping recently-referenced 'pages' in real memory and dormant pages on disk until they were referenced. I'm willing to bet that IBM copied it from somewhere else. DEC perhaps? The same concept was eventually rolled out as a Windows 3.1 feature for PCs with 80386 CPUs. The 80386 had the microcomputer equivalent of DAT. This extra 'memory' did come at a price. At the time, it was said that if it took "one second" to reference data in real memory, it took "3-5 days" to get the same data from disk for processing. Thats why adding memory to your modern PC usually results in better performance with operating systems that implement Virtual Memory, for example Windows 3.1, 9x and NT. Somewhere around here, I have a copy of "The Thing King" which rather elegantly explains the whole process of implementing Virtual Memory. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2000 17:58:15 +0900 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Robert Kawaratani Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Robert Kawaratani Subject: Re: The future of DOS palmtops Comments: To: "Owen H.

ACCTEST.EXE may result in an ID checksum error, which might cause, but not necessarily, a problem with the NETBEUI protocol. The idea error is a result that newer cards have different address numbers which are unknown to ACCTEST.EXE. For me the only reason to use NETBEUI is, if I like to setup a hp200lx as a lan server. Don't switch the hp200lx OFF and ON (or sleep). This will result in Ctrl-Alt-Del. If I don't setup the hp200lx *_NOT_" as a lan server I use the IPX protocol which offers OFF/ON feature. I haven't experienced any other restriction. All the other TCP/IP based applications (WWW/LX LXTCP, CUTCP) are working fine with the new cards, even if ACCTEST shows ID Checksum error.

IMHO the keyboard on the Psion 5mx is like typing on a rubber band. Way too much flex. And the screen is not adjustable, fixed at one (mostly unusable) angle for the (mostly unreadable) screen.

Actually, the full package is not bad as it allows you to backup the phone data and/or enter the data on the desktop using a larger more convenient keyboard and screen. It was only $59.00, I think, and came with the cable. But you do NOT need it for data access/modeming on the hp. I guess we are lucky that Motorola did not design the phone/modem as a Winmodem which would have required Win9x and left out the HP. Let's hope they and others continue with that oversight!

HP did make some DoubleSpeed palmtops for it's customers at one point and it did require some drivers that they created. You battery is only reduced by about 15-20% on average but you are able to finish tasks much faster as well, so the difference is probably negligible. It does not revert to normal speed if the drivers are not loaded. You really need to get the drivers for it.

VDisk did use extended or expanded memory but I don't think it required it if you used the switches to tell it not to. That may be version dependant, too. I think there was also a version that came with some of the extender and expander cards and it sounds like you might have one of those. I think I'd look in Symtelnet for a ramdisk program. There used to be some pretty good PD and shareware ramdisks. The one I used to use was called Xpandisk. It had an accompanying program, Xpandboss, that would let you adjust the size of the ramdisk on the fly. I used it a lot over the years and never had any problems with it. I think it mainly worked in system memory. It might be that there are enough differences in the Dos in the 200lx that nothing will work. That won't surprise me. Ramdisks have to work intimately with Dos. But if you try a bunch you probably can find one that will work. And there are a bunch around. I just did a web search for Xpandisk and I found it and a bunch of others at: http://www.devinfo.com/archives/coast/msdos/ramdisk/ You might have a look at that. It looks like a good site, too. While doing that search I also found a PC Magazine article where the author discusses the best utilities ever made for the PC and he said he would have included Xpandisk if it was still usable under Win95.

That's usually called virtual memory and it's an older technique than that. It was developed years before PC's existed. I know there's a expanded memory driver for the 200lx but I've never tried it and I don't know much about it. But I'll be surprised if it would work on a PCMCIA card. There is a memory manager hardware in the 200lx that allows it to access all the ram it has. Without that an 80186 can only access a total of 1 meg of ram and rom. C: is ram and the cpu has to access it, too. So there is the ability to shift blocks of memory in and out of the range that the cpu can access. That's pretty similar to the way expanded memory works and the expanded memory driver uses that to make it look like expanded memory for programs that can use expanded memory.

Can this be re routed? There was a file on cis which did a better job of moving fields between the 95 and the 100/200. I don't think it is available on the hp sites???

I am using a 5MB SunDisk SDP5-5 and an Epson-branded SunDisk-manufactured 10MB Flash card in my 95LX. I get some flashing of the screen (horizontal dark lines) during card access, but otherwise they work fine. They require a driver in the 95LX, but should not in the 200LX (and work fine in a Win95 Toshiba portable I also have). The SunDisk (SanDisk) models SDP5, SDPL5, and SDP5A all should work in the 95LX. The IGM-brand card Scott Moore sells does not work in the 95LX (at least, not in mine). The SunDisk cards do seem to drain the batteries when the HP is off. This phenomenon has been reported by others. I am still on my first set of batteries with the flash card in my 95LX, so I cannot give you the complete figures, but 2 hours of use and a week of off-state have reduced the voltage from 3.0V to 2.7V. The solution would be to pop the card out when the computer is not in use. I have read that you can use old Maxtor flash cards in the 95LX, possibly without drivers. If you need the SunDisk drivers, I can e-mail them to you. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2000 14:34:22 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Feldman, Robert" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Feldman, Robert" Subject: Re: ÝFluff¨, really ÝFluff¨ MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252" Barry wrote: >Is archeology your full time profession?

The unit you have was done by HP and it has double speed- was a customized project long time ago. The driver used was different from the driver we use in the upgrades from Thaddeus. I can send you the driver if you want. You should use the driver so the machine will work properly. It will take some more power- but it's worth it.

Unfortunately it looked like the Toshiba drives were going to be way over the LX slot power output (something like 400mA)... so the best alternative for the moment still seems to be the 1gb IBM microdrive at $470 ... and even then the max power needed is something like 250ma, tho Mack's confirmed it can be done on AC or on fresh batteries (probably not for long).

I wonder when I get the new one. And if there is no ID Checksum error. This ID Checksum error is not critical for some drivers, my card worked without problems in the Novell network, it depends whether the driver checks it or not.

Then I got an idea,shouldn't it be posssible to construct a PCMCIA adapter with TWO comapct flash cards? There are space for two CF:s in one PCMCIA adapter,but you will ofcourse have to fold one CF in,just as you do with a battery. If there is a frame in the middle of the PCMCIA card with a interface to the CF you insert from the bottom,and the other interface is located where it is in an ordinary PCMCIA adapter. Then you could choose between this two CF:s from the LX,and perhaps one = netcard and one memorycard? I hope you understand what I mean.

Because I am a diabetic, I go to an optomologist (spelling?) once a year, to have a real eye exam done, much more thorough that seeing an optometrist. The last time I went, I was finding that late in the evening, I would have a hard time seeing my laptop, or palmtop screen, because it would start to get blurry. When my doctor said my eyes checked out fine, I actually was bummed. I know that sound stupid, but I thought, well I am now 41, and eventually I will most likely need reading glasses soon, but my doctor said I didn't. When I asked well how come sometimes, not always, late at night the screen gets blurry. His reply was that my eyes were just tired, and that I needed to give them a rest. What an answer! So far I do not need reading glasses, but I have noticed that staring at the full 80 column wide 123 spreadsheet is getting more difficult, and because I use 123 to track my blood sugar logs, and calculate the amount of insulin I need to inject, I like the 80 column wide mode. I know it is easier to read displaying less text, but until I can't see it anymore, I will continue to use 80 column wide mode. What I really find I would like the most is a backlit screen. More times than not lately, since winter set it, and it gets darker earlier, I find that when out and about, reading the LX screen in poorly lit conditions sucks! I hope someday when we all find the LX replacement, it has a backlit screen, no matter how many batteries it goes through. The older we get, the more we need light on something to see it properly. I remember not to long ago never having this problem. Getting old is wonderful, isn't it?

Was the problem with the card, the drivers, or the 200lx > itself? I am currious about this topic myself. I just recently lost my 160MB Simple Tech FLASH disk a couple of months ago. I bit the bullet and replaced it with a SanDisk 440MB. I have been led to believe by numerous sources that these are more durable and reliable than ST and others. My ST 160 was used as my main FLASH disk in my palmtop for about 4 years or so. I have no way of knowing how many access were made, and to what extent, if any, the ST onboard FLASH controller handles wear levelling. I would be curious to learn more details, especially about how my new modern SanDisk handles this detail. Is it to be expected to lose a FLASH disk about every 4 years? Being engineers, we did dismantle the ST FLASH disk at my office. We knew that PCMCIA designers have limited height to work with, and expected to find all the ICs in very thin packages. Were astounded to see that the internals were actually a card STACK containing a main board, with FLASH controller, RAM buffer, resonator, and an amount of FLASH chips. The daughter card, nearly the full size of the main card, contains entirely FLASH chips. Both cards have components on both sides! As circuit board designers ourselves, we have built PC cards as thin as 1/32 of an inch, 0.032 - but these cards were 0.014 inches thick! The whole think was an excellent example of miniaturization, and we were quite impressed with the packaging. Even after I dismantled it, I put it back together and powered it up on my laptop computer to check for one last file I was after, and it worked just fine!

It does work consistently for me in terms of reading from it just fine. I am sure for writes that we are at least at the edge of the power supply of the palmtop as well as at the lower end of the requirements for writes for the card. I haven't tested the driver extensively since it is in beta and data is so precious to us all that I find very few takers to do the testing. It is the same driver that was developed for use with the large Sandisk cards and should also work on the 100LX for other ATA cards that are currently not recognized by that unit. It is a special driver in that it also combines some of the features of LXCIC in that it will enable Ethernet and Modem cards. If you are running TREMM then it will also load most of the code up into an EMM page and only take up about 1k of lower memory. If you load the driver as a device in CONFIG.SYS it will give you a new drive letter to use for the ATA card and if you load it in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file then it will take over the A: drive letter of the ATA card.

My 200LX is BACK ALIVE!! MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT I accidently dropped my 200LX yesterday. Slipped from my coat pocket to the pavement, when I opened it to check for damage, the screen was cracked. I was VERY upset and a little surprised - my older unit had taken falls a half dozen times and never broke - I killed that one last summer by letting a spray bottle of all purpose cleaner leak into it. It still powers up, but the ON key and several others no longer work so it is unuseable. So I was down to zero palmtops - what to do? I looked at David Sargeant's hplx.net hardware page: http://www.hplx.net/hardware.apa.big.html In reading through the page and looking at the pictures, I decided I could take the screen and top case from my old unit and transplant it to my new one with the broken screen - about 3 hours later I fired up my LX and was relieved to see it power up and working fine now. The toughest part was getting the battery case cylinder part of the hinge loose, but the directions explained it clearly - I just have very fat fingers and was afraid I would break the case. Thanks David for having this info - I had looked at it before, but never considered trying to take my LX apart. I got up the nerve when I had nothing to lose. The directions were GREAT the pictures helped a lot too.

I'd always heard that eyestrain was damaging to our eyes but my opthimologist insists that it isn't. It's effects are temporary. He says it's because the muscles that control the eye are tired, and that's all it is. It's uncomfortable and it's good to avoid it, but it seem's there's no risk involved.

DEC perhaps? The first virtual memory system was made by RCA, who sold their computer division to Univac. But RCA sold it first. In my first programming job I worked for the guy who had been the project leader of the team that wrote that OS for RCA. His name was Joe Lucas. I'm not sure when this happened but trying to connect things I do know I'd guess that it was in the early 60's. I went to work for him in 68. He left RCA when Univac bought them in, I think, 66 and the virtual system had been selling for a while at that point.

My battery consumption seems to be the same with it, without it, or with a newer card. I can't tell any difference. The 200lx it's in get's very little use so it's off most of the time and you'd expect it to be noticable if the card drew power when the machine was off. I use Nicads in it and I change them every 2 or 3 weeks. When I was using it daily I changed them every week, although they would go 2 weeks when I forgot. But not any longer.

It is also possible that the reason we complain about the $2/gal is not so much the actual price but that we have to put into cars sooo much gas (petrol to you.) It is undoubtedly not astounding to you that the distances travelled in the USA by car (automobile to you UK people ...) are much much greater than in the UK or other places in Europe. In the early 80s I lived in Israel. Just prior to going to Israel, my commute to work was about 60-80 km EACH way. In Israel the commute was 41km (Jerusalem, where I resided, to the IBM Tower in Tel Aviv.) I thought it was a breeze. Many people in Israel looked at me wide-eyed when they realized the distance I was covering each day. So maybe that is the issue: We keep putting money into these dumb contraptions, then burn it in an internal combustion container which also produces some lethal gases (which adds indirectly to the price we pay for gas.) And I think the griping maybe reflects the dumbness of this situation.

Small particles (corn meal is a big offender) will sometimes find their way under the plastic keys and the switches beneath them, leading to the behavior you're seeing. One remedy is to take off the keyboard overlay (it's just glued on) and use compressed air to blow out the particles. You may need to gently lift each key while directing the air under it.

And I think the griping maybe reflects the dumbness of this situation. Therein lies the problem. I'm aware of the price of petrol in Europe. Several years ago I rented a car in London to travel to Cardiff, Wales to see my sister-in-law. I forget how much the fuel cost but it was a lot of money compared to what I would have spent for a similar trip in the U.S. But consider the following situation I had just a few days ago on Christmas Day. We had a family gathering at my sister's place. It was a 5 hour round trip, which we did in one day. The problem is, I had no choice but to drive. And given the heavy snow situation this winter I took the gas-guzzling V8 4-wheel-drive. And by U.S. standards she lives not that far away, even in the same state I live in.

Earlier versions of David Fotland's "Many Faces of Go" were Dos programs. I don't remember the version number I used to have (it got lost during a move) but I think it did work on the 100lx that I used back then. I can't be sure. I tried so many programs that I really didn't have room to keep. But I'm fairly sure that was one of the successful ones. I do know it has a CGA mode. It also can be used for recording and playing back Go games. I'm not sure about editing them but I think that's just text so any editor could be used. I'm not sure if there is a Dos version of his latest one. I know there is a Windows version. But the earlier one shouldn't be that hard to find. I've seen it at used software stores a few times. If you contact David Fotland he might be willing to sell an older version if he has one. A link to email him is on his site, or was the last time I looked. If nothing else works, I might have a copy on some archive somewhere. But try to find it on your own first. Finding a copy among my hundreds of 5.25 floppies won't be easy.

I don't think the vendor could be considered responsible for a used card that only lasted 6 months. Sure, we hope used things will last longer, but we take that chance. That's why the price is reduced. I don't think I'd ask a vendor of used merchandise to take responsibilty for it after 6 months unless there was some specific agreement about that at purchase.

But I think the last time I was there they said their flash was good for 4 million writes and that the average person wouldn't wear one out in a lifetime. They also gave an example of a program that ran 24/7 and regularly wrote to the card every few seconds and could be expected to last 10 (I think) years. I'm not sure how accurately I remember this. But it's all on the Sandisk site. As to wear leveling, I run wear.exe on my old 10 meg card (which was heavily used for about 4 years and lightly used since) once a year and so far each time it's told me that the card doesn't need wear leveling. So that might be a trivial part of the card's wear.

Try something like this at the command line. tcc -ms main.obj sub.obj where "-ms" selects the small model, "main.obj" is the object file for your main routine, and sub.obj is the object file for your subroutine. If you want to do everything inside the TC integrated environment you have to set up a project file (e.g. xxx.prj) for a program with multiple source files.

Thanks A couple more things. Type tcc at the command line to get a screenful of help information, including the switches available for the "tcc" command. Here would be a sample "main.prj" file: main (main.h) sub (main.h) where you have two source files, main.c and sub.c, and one ".h" file that both the ".c" files are dependent on called main.h.

I have an old version of David Fotland's Cosmos (dos program) that records games in a very easy to read format but has no comment or variation capability. I have been resisting the need to get a full program eg Many Faces of Go, thinking more along the lines of getting a dos version of a client program if I have to. Leaves me with some more questions (I warned you guys I was a newby); 1. how to access dos on the 100lx? 2. best to get a serial cable to connect to PC or the connectivity pack? I also see a lot of talk here of memory cards (mostly for 200lx), and wondered what people recommended for the 100lx. thanks again, Ed ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 31 Dec 2000 17:51:57 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , awm@ALWAYSAFE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: awm@ALWAYSAFE.COM Subject: Re: Happy New Year Comments: To: WEB In-Reply-To: <3A4F7F53.A47F2637@mindspring.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed At 12/31/00 -0500, WE Blankenship wrote: >Avi, > >As always I wish you all the best!!

I count from 0 (that's a zero) and so I celebrated the millenium last year --- Now, let's start a re"religious" war over _that_ - probably more fun than about holiday greetings ... I have an issue to raise about this millenium thing anyway. I read somewhere that in 1531 or so the then Pope (Cinnaid-Nathalie, hush now, dear!) took out 11 days and some hours out of the calendar. So the real millenium was already too early. There are other idiosyncracies with the calendar as we use it. So it is highly inaccurate to do that millenial count from the birth of the child (I do not want to mention the name so as to not wake up the Nordic Troll ) of that woman. And on it goes.

I did a complete reinstall of the entire WWWLX, POSTLX, ROBONews suite and finally got this setup to work just in time for the 21st Century. Here is the solution I arrived at... After rebooting, I run op2216.exe pd2212.com -n 0x66 5 Then I run the following from the D&A FTP site dhcp.exe This is new, and likely what corrected the problem. DHCP.exe creates a bat file that I run next ip-up.bat My Win98 Internet Sharing PC with SHAW@HOME only provides the following in ip-up.bat SET MYIP=192.168.0.2 SET REMIP=192.168.0.1 As I said before, I then set up WWWLX again. My WWW.CFG contains: (note there are no entries for My_IP or Remote_IP) ÝGlobal¨ Setup=Ethernet ÝSetup¨ Ethernet=Ethernet to Shaw Wave ÝEthernet¨ Ether=1 Port=2 OmniGo=0 PPP=1 Modem=0 Baud=57600 My_IP=0.0.0.0 DNS_IP=24.69.48.13 DNS2_IP=24.69.48.14 Script=CHAP_Script Login=my-userid ModemInit=AT&F Dial=ATDT0000000 Password=!@#$% In preparation for setting up POSTLX and ROBOTLX, I used Ping on my Win98 machine to get the dotted-decimal addresses for the SNTP (News), POP and SMTP (Mail) servers. I then entered these into the setup programs, to avoid what looks like a failed DNS lookup from the palmtop. Strangely, when HV is run under WWWLX, it has no trouble doing DNS lookups. Hopefully, this summary will help others get their Accton EN2216-1 cards up and running. Happy New Year everyone!

Hello, is the Barbie Pen easy to use. I don4t really understand how it works. Which drivers does it need? Is it better than using a small mouse (for example the "teenie mouse" that somebody else mentioned)? i might give it a try if you think it is better than a mouse for palmtop use.

I don't usually meddle with far-out fluff, but just a little clarification. The change of the calendar took place because the calendar was not keeping up with the seasons and the sun. As a result of that and other changes, the current calendar is only off by minutes or perhaps hours. I understand the current system will be significantly out of wack with the seasons in a few hundred years, so the question is how to keep our palmtops running that long. :-) Domingo ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml
