I wrote a program and it works just great in DOS XL and other DOS 2.0 compatables. I recompiled the program using sparta and I get lock ups and other nasties. I eliminated some problems by not using globals and using locals and parameters instead.Now, the second time it exacutes a DO UNTIL loop I still get a lock up. Any suggestion? Please, I am new to net-land don't know the full path yet.

Date: Mon, 31 Aug 87 15:27:11 EDT From: jhs@mitre-bedford.ARPA I believe CDY most frequently advertises in ANALOG Magazine these days. With the gradual shift in interest toward 16-bit machines, they may not advertise as much currently as in former years. Anyway, their address is CDY Consulting, Inc. 421 Hanbee Richardson, TX 75080. Phone is (214) 235-2146. David Young, the proprietor of CDY, is usually available in the evening to take orders and/or answer technical questions about his company's products. -John Sangster / jhs@mitre-bedford.arpa (I have no finanicial interest in or connection with CDY other than as a customer.) ------------------------------ Posted-From: The MITRE Corp., Bedford, MA To: userek5%mts.rpi.edu@itsgw.rpi.edu Subject: simple downloader... Date: Mon, 31 Aug 87 16:06:22 EDT From: jhs@mitre-bedford.ARPA The following is approximately what the Avatex modem user manual provides for a dumb ASCII terminal program to get on the air with. It may or may not work "right out of the box" for you but you should be able to get it working with a little experimentation. ------------------------------c-u-t---h-e-r-e--------------------------------- 10 GOTO 300:REM Dumb Terminal Prog. 100 STATUS #3,AVAR:IF PEEK(747)=0 THEN 200 120 GET #3,CHAR:IF CHAR=0 OR CHAR=10 THEN 200 130 PUT #4,CHAR 200 IF PEEK(764)=255 THEN 100 210 GET #2,KEY:PUT #3,KEY:GOTO 100 300 REM I/O Setup for Dumb Terminal. 310 OPEN #2,4,0,"K:" 320 OPEN #3,13,0,"R:" 330 OPEN #4,8,0,"E:" 340 XIO 34,#3,192+48+3,0,"R:" 350 XIO 40,#3,0,0,"R:" 360 GOTO 100:REM Go to it! ------------------------------c-u-t---h-e-r-e--------------------------------- The above just does a loop that checks for an incoming character (line 100) and if it gets one, slaps it on the screen (line 130), then checks the keyboard for input (line 200) and if it sees that a character was pressed (loc. 764 not = 255), slings it out to the outgoing side of the R: device. *****> If you are adventuresome, you can turn this simple program into a version that can capture a file off the modem. One way to do this would be to change line 330 to open a file "D1:YOURFILE.EXT" or whatever. Be sure to close the file first; in fact, my standard practice is NEVER to OPEN a file without CLOSING it first -- saves a whole lot of dumb error messages. The program below has this feature added. Possibly the simplest way to capture a file is to press BREAK, change line 350 to have a device:filename specification inside the quotes, and type "RUN" again. Then type the command to send the file. When it has finished being sent, press BREAK, type CLOSE #4, and that should do it. ------------------------------c-u-t---h-e-r-e--------------------------------- 10 GOTO 300:REM Dumb Terminal Prog. 100 STATUS #3,AVAR:IF PEEK(747)=0 THEN 200 120 GET #3,CHAR:IF CHAR=0 OR CHAR=10 THEN 200 130 PUT #4,CHAR 200 IF PEEK(764)=255 THEN 100 210 GET #2,KEY:IF KEY= 220 PUT #3,KEY:GOTO 100 300 REM I/O Setup for Dumb Terminal. 310 CLOSE #2:OPEN #2,4,0,"K:" 320 CLOSE #3:OPEN #3,13,0,"R:" 330 CLOSE #4:OPEN #4,8,0,"E:" <---- change E: to your Dn:FILE.EXT 340 XIO 34,#3,192+48+3,0,"R:" 350 XIO 40,#3,0,0,"R:" 360 GOTO 100:REM Go to it! ------------------------------c-u-t---h-e-r-e-------------------------------- This may or may not work without fiddling, but it ought to be reasonably easy to get it working. And it surely is the simplest way to get a downloading capability -- as well as learning a lot in the process! If you get it working, let me know and I will send you uudecode and a fancier terminal emulator or two. -John S., jhs@mitre-bedford. ------------------------------ Date: 31 Aug 87 18:35:26 GMT From: rti!xyzzy!sealy@mcnc.org (Virgil Sealy) Subject: Re: More wierd questions...

The power on/off LED comes on, but nothing happens after that. I put a disk in and nothing. I took it apart and nothing wrong was obvious visually. I measured the voltage from Vdd-Gnd on various dips, but got nothing. I'm wondering if the power supply died. Have any info?

Using what terminal program??? I use the vt100 termcap with Omnicom doing vt100 emulation, and vt52 or adm3a termcaps using Chameleon with vt52 or adm3a emulation. (Admittedly I made a slight modification to the vt100 termcap, putting in a delay on reverse scroll, but that only matters with emacs at 2400 baud.)

One source of parts and schematics is American Techna-Vision. They have the SAMS service manual for the 1050 for $19.50. They have IC's, circuit pack assemblies and complete drive mechanisms. Their address is: American Techna-Vision 15338 Inverness St. San Leandro, CA 94579 1-800-551-9995 or (415)-352-3787 They accept credit cards. They also do repair if you can't figure out the problem. Service rate for the 1050 is $85. Hope this helps...

My question is, can I yank out the ATARI BASIC rom(s) and do a straight swap with the "XE" roms? I would like to free up the bus connector for other uses, but can't because this cartridge is ALWAYS installed. Has anyone ever done this?? (I could handle more than a straight swap if someone has the exact procedure.) Thanx in advance. ------------------------------ End of Info-Atari8 Digest ************************** ------- -------------------END OF UNDELIVERED MESSAGE-------------------
