He was a close friend of mine who died of cancer this year. I inherited his machine & found your # on his comm software. I also inherited Frank's BBS (Farpoint, 312-274-6128). i've been having problems with my software & have been looking for some help. I'm running rbbs-pc under desqview. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Please leave a message on mine if you wanna help me tackle my problem (or refer me elsewhere). If you'd like you can try my voice line @ 312-973-6870. I'd really appreciate any advice you can give. Thanks again in advance.

As far as I know, SCSI-II still supports 8 devices ( 7, actually, since the host adapter eats up a slot ). Msg 46475 is 19 line(s) on 09/28/93 from MICHAEL SHARTIAG to WARD/ALL re: IDE/LOCAL BUS REVISITED Ward, I just got a chance to do a little exploring in the VESA/LB world again. An identical machine running standard ISA/IDE vs. VESA local bus card in a couple of benchmarks: Norton SI 13.6 vs 9.9 PC labs Benchmark 7.0 drive test overall rating of 47777 vs 46244 Seems to work OK.. you get 3 modes to choose from: NOrmal, enhanced and TUrbo. Normal leaves system bios alone, enhanced mode, using a new BIOS and reloacting it into RAM, and a Turbo mode that does the BIOS swap , plus attempts multiple read / multiple write commands offered by some of the newer IDE drives.... NOw for some of the fun questions: which drive manufactureres support this new command? DO my Seagates(ST3283A) ?? ANd when does thjis VESA/LB stop ?? It was for video only, then they had 2 slots. The most recentr MB's I have seen now offer 3 VESA slots. Will we soon have 7 LB slots? And if so, does there come a point where they start to interfere ( too many) or until we get to parallel processing only 1 card is active at a time so it doesn't matter. SOmething just seems wrong to be popping all of these cards directly on the CPU. No dup. chars. >Function:?
