Since there exists a Xmodem/1k it would normally be safe to assume the Ymodem is the batch type. Some time back Xmodem/1k was erroneously assumed to be Ymodem so that is an old wives tale thing. I don't have the specs for Ymodem but you may be able to glean the operation from the source for xydown if you have that. I beleive it was distributed with source. Although that will only be good for downloading in Ymodem batch. -Warren Hrach, MM/1 Sales Rep. --- RiBBS v2.10 (Beta) * Origin: Ocean Beach BBS 619-224-4878 MM1 TECH moderator (1:202/343) Public Message Message # 1897 *MM1 TECH Echo* To : All From : David Graham Subject : Incor Screws UP MM/1 Production! Date : 94/02/10 18:19:52 Flash!! Flash!! Flash!! Flash!! Flash!! Flash!! Flash!! On November 8th, 1993, David McCain at Incor Systems Corporation of 114 Industrial Park Drive in Soddie-Daisy TN informed me that Incor was in possession of 50 complete MM/1 systesm, which they would sell be (to me) as customers purchased them on a cash in advance basis. On January 6th, 1994, I sent them a cashiers check for the first I/O board. Oh January 26th, I received from them an incomplete CPU card. When I called to ask why, they told me it was sent to replace the I/O board I ordered because they had NONE READY TO SELL. At this time, Incor claims to have 60 or so I/O boards which are bare. They decline to finish them, even though they have been given evidence to confirm that orders DO exist, including backorders from IMS which Paul K Ward intends to purchase from me in order to complete his sales! Please call 1-615-332-2119 and ask for David McCain. Express to him your support for the MM/1 and encourage him to either continue production, or make some arrangement to allow BlackHawk Enterprises, Inc. to do so. Without such support, the MM/1 WILL NOT GO ON!!! Please support us now!!!

The Capture mode opens the file for write only. Thus if you attempt to open for reading the same file, it will go into file locking. The only other problem I have found was trying to use the YMODEM download in a BATCH mode. The YModem in KTerm is NOT BATCH. I am looking into what it will take to make it function in BATCH mode. Right now the only difference between XModem and YModem is, with YModem you don't have to enter a file name. It gets the filename from the host. Also if you are downloading a text file and attempt to open the same file from another window, it will also go into file locking or worst, crash the download. I have not had any problems opening a file with ME in another window as long as it is not the file being captured or downloading. Please keep me informed on any problem that you come across.

Ram $A4 $32 $38 memory size text 2 to 8 meg, this is different than the 68070 init mod which says 3 meg at add. $AA I removed the jumper closest to the backplane and rebooted with 9 megs. I used a small printed circuit board with holes and traces for a single chip already present and soldered a socket to it. I removed the U1 chip and soldered to the pins on the bottom of the board at U1 for ground, +5v (vcc) and pin 1. The grounds and floats for the unused circuits on the 74AC32E were made on the new circuit board. Notice that all connections were to empty sockets, no soldering to the chips. I removed the old SIMM's heated the two pins, sucked out the solder, and then pushed them up and out. I bent the pin up the side of the connector and soldered a wire to each and ran it to the new board. I soldered a wire to the empty hole under pin 21 of one of the SIMM's and connected it to the new board. I carefully checked for shorts and continuity and then installed U1, the 74AC32E, and the new SIMMS. The pin 21 connectors can be placed in the socket when the SIMM is installed and will be held in place by the SIMM. This procedure is based on Mark Griffiths work and is only for MM-1's with the 68340 boards. It is very different from the modifications for a 68070 (original) MM-1 and will not work on those machines. --- FLAME v1.0 * Origin: The King's Market BBS (1:104/115) Public Message Message # 1921 *MM1 TECH Echo* To : George Hine From : Warren Hrach Subject : Re: 8MEG UPGRADE Date : 94/02/11 09:09:17 Previous Reply is Message 1910 George, I shall also make your upgrade text file a downloadable file in my MM/1 Official file section.
