It is a bit         unclear from this message.  If you are looking for screen  colours, they are scattered here and therhen the door is open.  Putting a  disk   in those actually decreases the protection.  The trick  is to      check and see if you can close the drive door with no  disk in it.  If the door won't close then you're fine.  If it will close then put a disk in it and close the door.Of course, you could go halway in between and ALWAYS put a  disk   in but NEVER close the door.  That method will ALWAYS  give you    added protection when shipping a disk drive.Apologies for the long reply but I hope that the expMaù9³13:26¾GuùCousineaُwrote: GC¾ةwaَtalkinçtïMichaeىHurst¬hهpaiنclosهtï$10°... GC¾.......maybهI'lىasëHermaîMasoîtïbuilنbهone...Guyhmmmm....don'ôkno÷iوhermaîcaîbuilنaîevهdevice®Oزareyoُsayinçhavهhermaîbuilنلclocë(lingreىtype,édïbelieve)anنtheîyou'lىwritهanotheٍtdoَfoٍit??؟ iوthهlatter,i'lىbهwaitin§oîthهedgهoوmùseat.....___ ھCRزQWث1.40«*--­Maximuَ2.01wb ھOrigin؛Vorteّ­Sacramento¬CA®(916©332-714±(1:203/726)                                       =-=-=-=-=-=-=   To؛ BarôLyncè        Messagه#؛‚Dےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےقےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےے To:  Peter Ames                 Message #:  19 From:  Guy Cousineau              Submitted:  14 Apr 93 10:15:00   Subject:  Hard Drive                    Status:  Public Received:  Yes                            Group:  Adam (1)In a message to Bart Apr 93 15:34> Barry Wilson wrote: BW> I need to know abut shippaing adam BW> disks drives to a chap who purchased BW> some from me. BW> On one type you are supposed to put a BW> disk in when you ship (I THINK BW> doubler sided to keep the heads frofj BW> hiting) and the only you ship empty.The older drives need some padding (like a blank disk) to  keep    the heads from banging around.

In a FidoNet enviorment normal EchoMail is always  open to the public, where as NetMail can be either public or private. There is a diffrence in how EchoMail and NetMail is  handled.     EchoMail is what the CPMTECH comes under, as does that varst majority of mail. NetMail it person-to- personThere anot my code...was there in original).

No extra hardware is required.BYE needs to be capable of checking if an 'event' needs to be ran at any   particular time during the day. By that I mean, at regular intervals during the day BYE needs to run an external program. In the case of Foodo, BYE chains to 'AUTOCOOK' every 15min. This is do so that one can collect mail from another Fido BBS plus our joint...here i go! :)Well as you saw, the enhancements to the mailer give you a chance to RESEND...I have modified that slightly for security reasons...You'll hear more about that in the SYSOP are at my place.As to why you were the only one, I really don't know.  In theory Bob Blair should have had the same problem, but I guess he was just a bit luckier.  The problem was, if I did not specify, that one routine made a call to WRITE record without specifying what record to write to...(that was re a couple of other changes to PBBS that make life easier for the SYSOP but not essential. Though nice if it's there.Having said all that, Foodo can work on it's own. That is no BYE and/or PBBS. The BBS is needed so users can read the mail simple as that. The Foodo does all the Fidomail handling. BYE is needed to call 'autocook' at regular times and of course the BBS.You would be most welcome to try it out at least.

As the problem appeared to have disappeared, i just let things be.  Then about two days ago, I pulled the reset switch and the daisywheeeeeeeellll spun endlessly.  So I lifetd the cover, and just touched the leftmost connector on the logic board.  Instantly, the spinning stopped.  It has happened once more since then with the same cure.Now what I need to do is pull out that connector and see why its contacts are ithe mother board and plugged into the new card.  A tiny cable that comes with the card is connected between the motherboard and the second connector on the card.  If desired, two wires can be connected to the third connector and routed to a single pole single throw switch that you add somewhere.The variable resistor allows the System Activity Monitor (SAM) to be set for  anywhere from about 3 minutes to about 15 minutes.  If there is no video activity during that time, the card activates the resetre was provided by  Guy  Cousineau.  The hardware was provided by Jay Bolton, formerly of  AWAUG and a good friend to all ADAMites.  It consists of a MI 10 meg hard drive system, two disk drives and a Falco terminal.

I found one solution that works superbly on my system.  It is a card that plugs into an 8-bit expansion slot and monitors any video activity.  It has one variable resistor on it and three small connectors.  The leads to the pushbutton reset switch on the front of the computer are unplugged from ‚NےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےقےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےTHIS IS A VISIT TO THE SFAUG BBS CONDUCTED BY THE SYSOP, BOB BLAIRTHE SFAUG BBS can be reached by calling 813-475-4219The call is placed (using ZMP and a 2400 baud Avatex Modem) and the SFAUG     BBS answers on the first ring.  The BBS (PBBS) softwa line.  The computer can still be reset manually by the button on the front, and the option switch can be used to disable the card.When my system is waiting for a call, the mailer displays a screen on which the time is updated every minute.  This is enough to keep SAM from rebooting since I have it set for 10 minutes.  SAM ignores a blinking cursor and does not consider it as video activity.The SAM is well-made and documented and is a fine product of Logical Design Associates, Calgary, Alberta.*************************Computer - Coleco ADAM with Micro            Innovations HD SystemModem    - 300, 1200,or 2400 BaudHours    - 24 hours a daySystems Operator   - Bob BlairAsst Sys Operator  - Bob BrinkPBBS Release v 5.00 (Released:  09 Oct 90)  by:  Ian CottrellEnter your FIRST & LAST names:  BOB BLAIR___________________<<--Please wait...Password:  **********   Thank You.Please wait...Good evening, it's 20:00:31 hours EST 27 May 93.You are caller .....:  109System users ....... on system: 2   ===={ THE SFAUG BBS MENU }====         OF COMMANDSType  R  to READ Messages "    E  to ENTER Message "    W  WRITE Note to SYSOP "    S  SEARCH for Messages "    H  HEADER Scan of Messages "    V  VIEW Messages Left by You "    L  LIST of BBS Users "    B  BULLETIN Display "    I  INFO/NEWS Articles "    U  USER Profile (settings) "    J  JUMP to Files Section "    N  NEW Files (Recent Uploads)   "    D  DESCRIPTION of New Files "    Y  YAK with SYSOP "    X  eXpert Mode (t: 27 May 93Fldr: General                        Time: 20:02:59Subj: Exit Comment                   Rply: None (BOT-EOT)From: Bob Brink                      To:   Bob BlairThank you for the last message.

If these three elements are added together they    should equal zero, and that is one way to check fr       transmission errors atsthe receiving end.THE TAIL        The tail consists of a   yte sectors. However, muc{ of the transmission time      involved in the XMODEM protocol consist of handshaking.  This is especially significant at the higher baud rates  (such as 2400 baud) and for long distance because of     transmission delay (especially via satelite). Thus the   use a larger 1 k data packet can reduce transmission     time somewhat, especially at the higher baud rates.      However, the 128 byte data packet is faster if the phone connection is noisy. (If an error occurs in a 1 k bytelic redundancy code) requires a more complicated calculation involving multiplication of the  bytes, but it can catch 99.9 % of the errors. Thus the   use of CRC is preferred. Many systems give yo the option of selectingseither checksum or CRC.HANDSHAKING        The entire process is initated by the receiving  computer when it signals the sender to begin. That, and  the way errors are handled, is why the XMODEM protocol   is known as a 'receiver drven' protocol. To begin whe    process, the receiver may                        -- Phillip Hansford, 123085 !ُ}أp!~أp!û}أp!~أpحXˆتپ‰!iأp!3أMŒ!>هحXˆآXŒلأپ‰حصحر£!أ#ح£حو£تکŒ:­" ‏ےتdŒح×£آdŒِے2Z#*7#ح‰TGëلهصژŒصéلOxو€±wأdŒلح66حM–آs~ح ™أs~!!!	!!!!!!!â#ح8چ!†Q^#V#z³تâŒ‏ےترŒ>ے/2ل#!Bژأچ*7#e#حOF!أ#ت#صح8چح#چ*7#ح™B!<"~·>ےآچ+~لw!:ژ:ة#·تaچأnچه!أ#غ#حذ

End of data is indicated     when the sender transmits a EOT control code and the     receiver answers with an ACK.1 K PROTOCOL        More recently, nother optional upgrade wss added to the XMODEM protocol which permits 1 k byte packets    (ie. 1024 bytes). This 1 k option always uses CRC (never checksum). The use of 128 byte data packets was a        logical beginning because single density CP/M uses 128 1 byte checksum, or       alternately, a 2 byte CRC.CHECKSUM and CRC        The checksum and CRC are used to detect errors.  The receiving computer calculates the checksum or CRC f  data it has received ad compares it with that from the   sending computer. If they match, data is OK. If they do  not match, an error is indicated.        The checksum is obtained by adding all the bytes of the header and packet together (ignoring carry). The  checksum can catch 99.pa6 % of the errors.        The CRC (cyc   packet retansmission takes 8 times s long as a 128 byte  packet). Most 1 k software downshifts the sender         automatically to 128 byte packets if excessive errors    are detected; it also shifts down when the remaining     sectors to be transmitted are fewer than 8. The ender    indicates it is seding a 1 k byte packet by using STX    instead of SOH in the header.        The XMODEM protocol also includes provision for  a CAN (control-X) 'panic button' to abort the            transmission.      send any of three different    characters --        NAK -- indicates protocol with checksum,        'C' -- (capital 'C') protocol with CRC,        'K' -- (capital 'K') 1 k packet protocol.The sender then sends the frst data packet.        If the{receiver receives the packet of data      without errors (using checksum or CRC), it sends a ACK   control code to the sender, and the next packet is       transmitted. Otherwise, if an error was detected, the    receiver sends a NAK controlcode to the send‚Mےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےقےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےےے------------------------- PARTS WRITTEN BY RICH LEWIS ---------------------  --------- OTHER PARTS WRITTEN BY THOSE WHO WISH TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS -------  Real Programmers don't write specs -- users should consider themselves lucky to get any programbits and leave unsigned messages in the security datasets.  Real Programmers never deliver programs on schedule. Either the program is "done" in two days or it is never finished. In any case, it is never delivered when it was scheduled.  Real Programmers write all of their code at the TUBE. (Real Programmers do not write their programs on terminals.

The use of 128 byte data packets was a        logical beginning because single density CP/M uses 128 has both modes;  color with 40 columns and     monochrome with 80 columns.

They require     that you have a monochrome monitor which can handle 80 column output.     The color television or color monitor you use for running SMARTBASIC     programs, SMARTLOGO drawings, ADAMCALC spreadsheets, ADAMLINK     communications, and many other non CP/M type programs will not work     with the 80 CVU.  This means you need 2 monitors, one for color and     one for 80 columns.  There is a rumor that Commordore has come out     with a monitor which   yte sectors. However, muc{ of the transmission time      involved in the XMODEM protocol consist of handshaking.  This is especially significant at the higher baud rates  (such as 2400 baud) and for long distance because of     transmission delay (especially via satelite). Thus the   use a larger 1 k data packet can reduce transmission     time somewhat, especially at the higher baud rates.      However, the 128 byte data packet is faster if the phone connection is noisy. (If an error occurs in a 1 k bytee port was created by Orphanware for     use with a modem, but it can be used with a printer and a dumb terminal.     For $75 you get a lot of possibilities.     The trick of using the port with a dumb terminal is modifying the pin     configuration on the cable connector on the serial port, adjusting     the port speed and terminal speed to the same settings, and redirecting     the console input and output from your Adam keyboard and monitor     to your terminal keyboard and monitor.     The por dumb terminal     while under the CP/M operating system.     The RS232C device is a serial port which can be used to pass data     from the computer to a peripheral connected by the port.  Files can     be copied to a serial printer thru the port.  A modem can be used     with the port to allow communication thru telephone lines.  Finally,     the port can be used to get 80 columns from your Adam.     An 80 column video unit from Ophanware or Eve Electronics will produce     80 columns at a price------------->   5,6,8     The speed at which the port runs is controlled by system software.     This means that there aren't any switches to flip on the hardware     to change port speed.  ABP25.COM and IMP.COM have both been used     successfully to change the port speed.  It's default speed is 1200bps,     but it operates all the way up to 19200bps.  When using ABP25.COM,     Serial Port #1 is the one you want to change from 1200bps to whatever     your terminal is set for.
