Msg 41633 is 11 line(s) on 04/02/89 from MIKE ROSE to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/DISK LOGGING IN MS-DOS 3.30 Bill Jawarsky of ICOM suggests that the drive doesn't support line 34-marked "unused" in my disk controller. The only thing I can guess which uses it is perhaps the door-open line (supported optionly in DRIVPARM and DRIVER.SYS. I found a copy of EZ Dos 4.0 with DR Dos 3.31. The disk change problem doesn't occur there. I am reviewing it. It has a couple of interesting enhancements. It doesn't support code paging, but, despite poor documentation not mentioning it, appears to support COM 3 and 4. Plus, if get nostalgic for CP/M, you have ERA and a DIR/w display which looks like the CP/M DIR display. As an added bonus, you get SID86-a cross between DEBUG and ZSID. I'll report after testing it further. Msg 41634 is 29 line(s) on 04/02/89 from BILL WOLFF to ANDY SHAPIRO re: PX-GENEVA-STUFF The message below was meant for you on CFOG II, but I found out that I don't have aceess to the entering of messages. Oh well, hopefully this will be fixed and you can read this message here, thanks. Andy; did you ever use RTX.COM for the PX-8? It uses 14 pages of TPA. You call it up by CTRL-ESC. It has DIR of RAMDISK, Battery level, printer setup, RS-232 changes, small DDT program and a remove itself patch. I always keep it in my PX-8 with the multi-pack. I also use PXUTIL.COM that is a NEWSWEEP type of program (7K I think) but much better and I hardly ever use STAT or PIP again. It even reads the proper Kilobytes on the "H" drive. I haven't found WS to be bad compared to VDE. VDE is nice, but WS is in ROM. And WS works just fine for text. Tight on space on the RAMDRIVE? Erase old file before saving. This will not work on WS V3.3. It says can not delete the working file. Perhaps I didn't fully test it. File size on the 3.3 might make a difference. The best BASIC games I have found with graphics on the Geneva was SPSHUT.BAS (Space Shuttle flight game) and YAHTZE.BAS (Yahtzee game on the Geneva up to 6 players). I too would like to have a 64K ROM programmed for me. If you find someone you like and it's cheap, let me know. I do use DAKCOMM as I travel a lot and also use TERM with an external modem. I ussually dump stuff to my Osborne Executive or sometimes to my C-128 too. I am not a paying CFOG member, but I would like one program for the Osborne to lay the time in the corner of the screen. I hate to pay $25.00, or that one program. Chat later! Msg 41635 is 18 line(s) on 04/03/89 from ANDY SHAPIRO to BILL WOLFF re: R/PX-GENEVA-STUFF Well, let me know the name of the file and maybe I can get it for you. As for the Geneva - WS is a SLOW PIG compared to VDE; It takes about 10 seconds for WS to load, and VDE takes _1_! Anyway, WS does do more, but I'm using my PX-8 for editing only; for printing, everything goes to the Kaypro. Actually, for editing everything goes to the Kaypro. This is pretty much a 'writing dump' machine. I haven't seen the first program you mentioned, but PXUTIL is a little fat for what it does. If you've seen my list for Ben Cohen, you can see that I have a series of 1K utilities that do the job nicely. Anyway, I have been informed by Ben of a fellow who will burn a 32K ROM for the PX-8 for $25. I'm (finally) gonna have my dream portable. I think he'll do 64K chips as well, I'll let you know. In theory, drive I: can be up to 128 K on a chip, but I've never seen one of those. I've happily avoided games on this machine, though I keep BASIC on hand just in case I need to do something unforseen, and I don't have anything else that I'd want to leave in I:. Just gimme VDE and a couple of small (and I _do_ mean _small_ utilities and I'm happy. I got all that I wanted into 29K!
