Is this on a PS/2? That's the only system that a COM4: is supported at all, and it could be FTTERM simply doesn't know about it. Sorry, I just have no idea. One "hack" you could try is to set it for Com2:, but patch the bios table for COM4's address. Since 2 & 4 use the same interrupt, as long as your mouse is on 1 or 3 so it uses the other interrupt, the software MAY look in the BIOS table. Alternatively, if your bios table doesn't HAVE all the com ports in it, i.e. you go into debug and: D 40:0, and you don't see 4 addresses (16-bit values for each) then you might try patching in the base port addresses of the 4th port.

I need to pick up information from data that is stored at the address pointed to in locations 0000:0036 & 0000:0037. I assume that I need to setup a "far pointer" based on the contents of the above addresses, but so far I haven't been able to figure out how. I've tried forcing the Segment & offset using the FP_SEG & FP_OFF functions, but that always get's me an "Illegal far pointer usage" message. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hello All, My question surrounds how to upgrade my current Wyse 80286 system. When I purchased the system one of the advantages was stated as its ability to easily upgrade the unit because the CPU and supporting logic chips were on a removable board. I have not seen anything advertised as to the availability of upgrade boards and was wondering if anyone has and how much it costs to upgrade to a 80386? I appreciate the info. Roderick. Msg 44084 is 09 line(s) on 10/26/90 from JIM POLOUS to DAVID GIBBS re: C PROBLEM Your problem might be very simple. I used to program in Microsoft C, but I found that Borland's Turbo C is a little more robust. In any event, I believe that there is a peek function in both dialects of C. In Turbo C: x = peekb(0x0,0x36); y = peekb(0x0,0x37); Jim Msg 44085 is 15 line(s) on 10/26/90 from JIM POLOUS to RODERICK PRINCE re: R/DO UPGRADE KITS REALLY EXIST I have a Wyse Model 3216 386 based WYSE and yes it has the replacable CPU card. I've come in contact with a WYSE Model 2112 (which is probably what you have.) I don't recall if it is stricktly a passive backplane or if it has some control circuitry on the main board. The 386 I have here has no electronics on the main board except to provide power from the supply. If that is the case with yours, you might want to contact a WYSE dealer for the CPU card and RAM daughterboard. One note: the 3216 does not use normal dynamic RAM chips. It uses 256K x 1 Static column dynamic RAM which is not common (from my experience). However, if you check your latest PC-MAGAZINE or Computer Shopper, a company called UNITEX sells these hard to find chips. If you need a WYSE dealer, you can call Guy Gross at MIS Computer Corporation at 312-772-1200. He may be able to order it for you.
