G-Windows is one of the most powerful Graphical User Interface software that run on top of OS-9 for the 68xx0 (G-64/VME systems/Industry Pack) or OS-9000 for the PC. The demo is packaged on four 3.5" floppies and you will need a 386 or better machine, 4M of RAM, a Logitech or Microsoft mouse on the COM port (built-in track balls are not supported with this demo), a 3.5" bootable floppy drive and a VGA display. To install, just insert the floppy in your bootable drive and restart your computer. Your PC will boot on OS-9000 installed on the disk, load all the disk's content in memory - this will take a moment - and start the interactive demo. Your hard disk will not be used in any way. This installation is a sharp short cut from the normal OS-9000 install and has been verified on many PCs. It may be, however, that the chip set organization of your machine is not compatible with the default parameters we have used. If so, you will not be able to run the demo although G-Windows and OS-9000 are compatible with your hardware. Also, the graphics have been set at 16 colors instead of 256 to be compatible with as many machines as possible - the actual product will only look better. To get your copy send a message with the address where we should send the free demo disks set to INTERNET:info@gespac.com or to COMPUSERVE 76620,3324. #: 20732 S1/General Interest 03-Feb-95 10:24:23 Sb: #Device Drivers Fm: Octec,Gary W Coutts 100447,423 To: all Hi there. Does anyone know where I can get my hands on device driver for serial board manufactured by PEP. The board name is VIOS Intelligent Quad Serial I/O Module. Bye There is 1 Reply. #: 20733 S1/General Interest 03-Feb-95 19:15:38 Sb: #20732-Device Drivers Fm: Kevin Darling 76703,4227 To: Octec,Gary W Coutts 100447,423 Hi. I believe that PEP themselves have a serial driver for the VIOS. I've also seen a "Ramnet" option for it... the VIOS communicates via the VME backplane as if it were on a network. We use VIOS cards here at work, but in a custom BOP (bit oriented protocol) RS485 multi-drop configuration... running up to 100 terminals per card. What kind of application do you have? best - kev #: 20728 S5/OS9 Users Group 01-Feb-95 01:58:54 Sb: Comm4 for Sale Fm: Michael Liegler 76026,2553 To: 76477,142 (X) Brother Jeremy, I'm learning to use Compuserve. and Not sure how to use the mail yet.

In the documentation that you wrote, you mentioned that > we created a pseudo-shell program for everyone else but the sysop to use on the system which chains to every other program, and those programs chain back to the pseudo-shell. Thus, every user has only one process running at any given time each (since LOGIN chains to pseudo shell itself), plus the MTSMON program running in the background. This makes the system quite system-RAM friendly, although it means a LOT ofcustomized programs. Is this "psuedo-shell" available for purchase. We have a similar situation here at St. Josephs'. I will be obtaining a Comm4 in about two weeks and it will give us the means to "network" our COCO's together. I would appreciate any information you might be able to give me. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: With all best wishes, :::::: 2 Kings 2:23-24 ::: :: Brother Jeremy, CSJW ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: OS9 Users Group Treasurer :: revwcp@delphi.com :: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: CIS - 76477,142 ::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: #: 20734 S9/Utilities 04-Feb-95 09:36:47 Sb: #20627-Ethernet Driver - OS9000 Fm: Kurt W. Papke 73663,1331 To: Gordon Lundy 75604,1371 I am always curious when I actually see some traffic indicating use of OS-9000. What are you using it for? We are using for medical devices, real-time instrument control. Have you had problems with floppy drives?? --Kurt also: Kurt_W._Papke@sdpwz.com #: 20726 S12/OS9/68000 (OSK) 29-Jan-95 03:32:19 Sb: HELP - login gives error Fm: Martin Raabe 100347,1334 To: Tim Berkeley 75240,1316 (X) Hello Tim, The reason is: 1. There is a "System Device Name Entry" in the "init"-module. 2. The Init.a-Sources force the Name-Entry to be 0, when no device is to be initialized on coldboot. 3. The Module-Sync-Byte is $4AFC (which is in ASCII: "Ju") has the Module offset "0". 4. If you want to know the System Device Name, you get the pointer from the Modulestartaddress + the Name-Entry. 5. Login is a Microware-Utility which needs to know, where the password-file is. 6. The password-file is defined to be at //SYS/password (for Microware-utilities only!). So when OS-9 forks the login-utility, it tries to read the password-file by using the chd-command. When your init-module can't says the System Device is called "Ju" and thereis no device with this name then you receive the errormessage: "Can't chd to "Ju"!!!! To change this behavior you have to change the init-module! Since I have no ideas what a CD-I maschine looks like (ROMbased, diskbased, remoteboot from Network, ...) I can't give any other hints to solve the problem. If you can chasnge the init-module change the System Device Name ! Hope I helped you out!
