The DISK-MAG is placed on the side on the computer monitor with velcro tape. The DISK-MAG is capable of holding six 5 1/4" floppy disks or three 3.5" floppy disks. Multiple DISK-MAGs may be used for those needing larger capacity. The DISK-MAGs secret is the incredible holding power of the rechargeable magnet made of a special material that gets its recharge from the automatic degaussing coil that is in all color monitors. This coil is activated at power down and normally demagnetizes the monitors metal dot screen. The DISK-MAGs special reverse magnet becomes magnetized by this coil which is the reverse of what common magnets do. This reverse magnetism is then filtered thru our patented circuitry and powers the DISK-MAG. Normally a magnet would erase the contents of a disk but the DISK-MAGs reverse rechargeable magnet actually INCREASES the data integrity of the disk*. Therefore use of the DISK-MAG will help insure against data loss while being a convenient place to hold your disks. We are researching ways of using this technology to insure against data loss in tape and hard disk use. In addition we are looking into using the technology to recover data inadvertently lost thru normal deleting of files etc. Other possible uses are restoring old audio tapes. Price and availability will be announced soon. *The DISK-MAG circuity only attracts the positive magnetic pulse or binary '1' in the case of computer data. By attracting the positive pulse it increases the power or size of the pulse thereby increasing data integrity. The circuit is fairly simple for binary data which is 1's and 0's. Analog data requires a more sophisticated circuit and more research before we can announce a product using this technology.

When I moved to OS-9, I didn't play them anymore since doing so meant going back to RS-DOS. While fiddling around on chestnut, I ran across an Infocom game interpretter thatn Brian White had ported to run under OSK. After downloading it, I found that Infocom sells "Lost Treasures of Infocom" Vols. I and II, a compendium of their original games. After calling around a few local software shops, I located a place which was selling both volumes. Although I just picked up Vol II, there are a ton of games on both: Vol I: Deadline, Suspect, MoonMist, Spellbreaker, Ballyhoo, Infidel, Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy, Starcross, the Witness, Planetfall, Suspended, Stationfall, Enchanter, The Lurking Horror, Zork I, Zork II, Zork III, Beyond Zork, Zork Zero, Sorceror, Suspended Vol II: A Mind Forever Voyaging, Bureaucracy, Cutthroats, Hollywood Hijinx, Plundered Hearts, Nord and Burt, Sherlock Holmes, Titan, Trinity, Wishbringer, Boarderzone, Seastalker The store that carried them said that they are no longer a hot item. Vol I was reduced from $69.96 to $39.95. Vol II was reduced from $39.95 to $19.95. All that was necessary was to insert the 3.5" MS-DOG disk in my MM/1, use pcf to copy the .DAT files from each of the four disks, and voila! I now have 12 games sitting in my GAMES/INFOCOM directory which can be played at my whim. The interpretter works flawlessly! I now have Infocom games on my MM/1, and it looks really cool. -*- 86602 2-APR 09:40 General Information RE: Problem (Re: Msg 86550) From: RICKMAC To: JRUPPEL Seems Mr. Simpson has some troubles.

Been playing with Supercomm. I don't know whether you plan on doing a whole lot of development with it or not, but if you do, I'll send you a little feedback. I like a lot of its features but I've found and area or two that you might want to work on. I've noticed that apparently the GoToXY function, under ANSI emulation is off by 1, at least in the Y coordinate. On my local BBS, their editor, in allowing you to reply to a msg, goes down the original msg line by line letting you choose to "S"kip or "A"dd. there is a little ">" prompt. With Supercomm, when you "ADD" a line, what is added is the line that was ABOVE it. It isn't a problem with the BBS, because OSTerm works correctly in this area. Doesn't ANSI start with line 1 where OS9 starts with line 0? Just thought I'd let ya know. If you don't object to this, I'll probably be "feedbacking some more" . I guess sometimes it gets to be a pain listening to what seems to be complaints, but I've submitted and had submitted some work of my own, and I'd have appreciated some feedback on it. I know my first edition of "r63" should have not even been posted, but I didn't use it myself, didn't do any testing and it would have probably have been real junk had I not met Boisy and heard about one bug, and after going back in correcting some more.

Nfortunately ther are a number of variants. nAn M240 has an 8086 (heavy on the six) running at 10 MHZ. There is an older version running at 8 MHZ. The machine you are looking at is probably one of these. They have been very solid machines. Mine is about 6 years old in daily service. Beware the clock - Olivetti had a driver which runs the real time clock which was only valid for 8 years from 1984. Ie in 1993 it refused to get the year correct.
