First, consider what type of            programming you will likely be envolved in.  All will benefit  from the higher speed data access of a disk drive.  On the other  hand,  much of the new software requires at least a 64K memory  expander   before the program can even run!  If that isn't bad enough, the disk drive supply is nearly exhausted.  What a decis-   ion!  The logical choice is the most useable it a full    255K data pack into the copy buffer!  You can even copy  SmartBasic files into it and run them at HIGH SPEED!  It is actu-  ally faster to copy your program into the RAMdisk and then run it  from that    "drive" than to load the large programs from tape or disk.  The reason is the lack of media access at load time.  The    RAMdisk has NO disk to read or tape to wind.  A word of warning     here about memory chip prices.  These chips are used on all sizes   of memory expander and the cost continuof the upcomming titles from Nibbles and Bits that actually expect a memory expander to allow the        programs to function, you will see the logic in the memory board    purchase.   Software has a way of relying on hardware.  Quickopy, the best     copy utility I know of, uses the memory device as a copy buffer.    The program will read a tape or disk, store it into the expander,   then write it onto the destination tape or disk.  This sounds  like a roundabout copy procedure, but it works fast and itxpander, you still have a     problem.  Should you manke a disk drive or a printer interface      board the next purchase? I advise would have to lead you to the     disk drive.  The combination of a disk drive and a memory           expansion board will open up new programming capabilities.  If  you consider the cost of data packs against the cost of diskettes, you will soon find the higher cost of a disk drive to    be more than offset by your savings in media purchases.  While on   the subject, I must se program continues to let you work and the    spreadsheet will print OUT OF THE SPOOLER!  Programs such as        Walter's SmartDisk even allow you to use the larger boards such  as the Orphanware MX256K as a super-sized workspace for SmartWriter. The next question concerns what size expander to buy.  If money    is tight, the 64K board will fill most average needs.  If you are   actively into CP/M, the larger amount of expansion the better.  A   256K device will allow you to copy an entire 160K disk orem with the best     value and longevity.  If you don't mind the long load time exper-   ienced with digital data pack useage, consider the options of a     high speed RAM disk.  The basic 64K memory expander has a variety   of uses.  It can act as a high speed RAM disk (an electronic disk   drive with NO moving parts!), a print spooler, a copy buffer and  a program buffer.  The disk drive only speeds up program and data     access.  If you also consider the new programs such as  PowerPaint, GoDos and some es to rise.  The current     cost is upwards of $16 each!  My best advice is to purchase a  256K board with either NO chips or with 64K worth on board.  As  your    funds build up and the need comes along, you can add extra  memory  chips to increase the size up to the full 256K.  I under-  stand    Orphanware Business Systems is selling the zero K option (a  256K   board without memory chips) for around $50.  The board even         carries an exceptional guarantee!   Well, now that you have that memory e makes  it     possible to backup important software with a minimun of media       swaps.  If you've ever copied a data pack with a 16K or less        buffer, you know what I mean!  If you use AdamCalc, the memory      board acts as a print spooler.  This means a comleted spreadsheet   can begin printing and another can be created at the same time.     Without the spooler, the Adam will freeze until the printer is      finished with it's task.  With the spooler, the data is copied      into the expander, thay my preference is for the double sided       drives with a 320K capacity.  These will allow you to get the  most data storage on a 5.25" floppy.  The larger size will also  make    using programs such as WordSTAR (c), SuperCalc (c) and other  top   of the line CP/M programs a real treat. The next hardware item I would suggest is actually 2 items.  The   first is a good quality dot matrix printer.  The Panasonic line  is always reliable but any EPSON or compatable will do nicely.   The   second is the paboard systems such as    the one at ORPHANWARE, you will appreciate the faster download      time on a faster modem.  Time saved is money you don't have to  pay in online charges or telephone bills. There are of course many more hardware items you could concern     yourself with.  An extra digital data drive, a speech  synsthesizer and or clock/calander card among others come to mind.  The usefullness of such purchases again fall back to what    you will actually get for your money.  Will the price justis what you will see on       paper.  A good example of 80 column speed enhancement was when I    was recently allowed to watch Dr.  Swift create a new program.   On the standard display, things went smooth, but to me were  rather    confused.  I kept seeing the longer lines chopped into 2  or three  line fragments to stay in line with the small screen size of the standard format display.  Dr.  Swift seemed quite at    home with the format, but I prefer to see the line in one piece.    As the programming corent  tasks.  We   must also support those that create the new hardware and software we want.  The best way to protect your investment is   to wisely choose the items you buy.  It isn't necessary to  upgrade to a larger computer such as an IBM if you can do the  same work on your Adam.  Thanks to programmers and inventors in the USA and in Canada, our sytem's potential continues to grow.   I hope we can all grow up along with it.   Ron Collinsce.  This will permit you to use serial devices such as an   external 1200 or 2400 baud modem on the Adam.  I use the RS232      interface (a serial port) to connect two different computers for    data transfer speeds you wouldn't believe!  At 19,200 baud, even    the largest programs transfer in seconds!  I transfered an entire   164K file in less time than it took to boot SmartBasic from disk!   If you are a regular on information systems such as CompuServe,     Genie or even one of the Adam-run bulletin rallel printer interface board and cable  needed to allow Adam to talk to that new printer.  This hardware  purchase    will make it possible to print your PowerPaint creations, to use CP/M programs such as PrintMaster Plus (c), and   to do fancy graphic printing.   The addition of an 80 column unit will permit you to view the      full 80 columns if you are a programmer or a writer.  By seeing     the full screen, it is far easier to avoid mistakes and to speed    up your work.  What you see on screen ify the   amount of use? Will the product be repairable, and if so, does it   carry a sufficient guarantee? These things must be considered       before any purchase.  Software is also best if purchased in this    fashon.  Don't just buy something because it would be "nice to      have!" You may never use it a second time!   If the Adam computer is to survive, and it you and I are going  to get the most use out of the system, we must continue to  upgrade    our ability to use the computer for new and diffentinued, I watched the building of a program   to use SmartBasic on the 80 CVU.  Soon, the program was being       written on that 80 column monitor.  I was amazed at the speed the   lines were being created at now!  When I arrived at DEI, their  was absolutely NO way to access 80 columns from BASIC.  When I  left, I had a copy of the new SwiftBasic 80 in hand!  Your own  programming will benifit from this easier to read structure. The final piece of hardware of general use is the RS232            interfa‚DяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяЮяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяя CP/M for the ADAM UPDATING DICTIONARIES This article is addressed to the advanced CP/M user of word        processors.  It may get a bit "hairy" as this subject can become    inordinately complicated.  Having said this, I will bound the       naturies and many superior features.  It can help you find a    word that you are looking for.  It has an anagram program that      isn't bad for simple words.  (Proper names are not usable in the    anagram program.) THE WORD has two update dictionary provisions.    One is an extension of the basic vocabulary while the other is      intended for unique proper names, places and words that only you    might use.  The conventional word update dictionary is named        UPDICT.CMP and the unique words dictionary ichecker, as delivered, is completely adequate.  The  worth of a checker is determined in part by its speed and ease of  use,   but mostly by the adequacy of its dictionary.  None have a          sufficient vocabulary but some are a lot better than others.  All   spelling checkers, that I am familiar with, have provisions for     augmenting the vocabularies. Most users of spelling checkers are constantly updating their      dictionaries.  Some of these people have been kind enough to  share these updates whe operating files  and the vocabulary on one disc.  Shortly after the 3.5" disc drive came out, ORPHANWARE greatly speeded it up with a new  eprom.  This combination provides a very practical and superior  spelling  checker for the ADAM. An older and rather inflexible CP/M spell checker that was often   coupled with the earlier WORDSTAR word processors was SPELSTAR.     It has become nearly extinct and not without reason.  There also    was an EOS spell checker for the ADAM many years ago, but it had   h THE WORD is that it requires three      drives to use it.  The basic dictionary is quite large (137K) and   therefore has to reside on a drive all by itself.  There are ten    COM files required to operate the spell checker and these alone     take up about 40K.  These ancillary programs require another  drive for their operation.  So you need a third drive to hold the  file   you wish to check.  This is extremely inconvenient and slow.   On   the plus side, THE WORD has one of the largest basic vocabulare of this subject, so that those of you who are interested  in this subject will be encouraged to read further. There are a number of spelling checkers available for word         processing.  They vary greatly in size, complexity and cost.  I     have used a spelling checker that is in the public domain which  is very good.  It is called SPELLM20 and it is free.  Another  widely  used, although commercial, spelling checker is THE WORD  which has  been distributed as a part of WORDSTAR.  But no spelling s named SPECIALS.CMP.   It is possible to expand beyond these two supplementary             vocabularies, but this is not covered in the sparse documentation   that comes with this spelling checker. All this is bad enough, but recent versions of THE WORD main       vocabulary are now too large to fit on a standard (160K) ADAM       disc.  Two technical developments from ORPHANWARE (now out of       business) solved these problems for us.  First, the 3.5" 720K  disc drive made it possible to lodge all of tith the rest of the community by placing  their      expanded updates in various bulletin boards.  In our own            situation, I have frequently updated the IEAUG public domain        update dictionary (SPELL.DIC) that supports SPELLM20.  It has       literally thousands of words that are not found in the basic        vocabulary of SPELLM20. I have discussed THE WORD spelling checker a number of times in    previous articles in connection with the speed of document          checking.  The problem wit so many misspelled words that it was treacherous to use. About the worst failure that can befall a spelling checker is  the inclusion of misspelled words.  The main dictionary of THE  WORD is written in machine language and is impossible to verify.   Not so   the UPDICT.CMP and SPECIALS.CMP.  It might be tedious to  check     update supplements, but at least it can be done.  I have  never     found any reason to distrust the spelling in THE WORD's  basic      dictionary, but that is like trying to prove ORDS.TXT. The most practical way to eliminate redundancy would be to         consolidate the three updates and then sort them with a file in     THE WORD called DICTSORT.COM.  Now DICTSORT.COM is a nifty,         machine language, program that does three things.  It converts  all lower case letters to uppercase.  It alphabetically sorts the       words list and best of all it tosses out any repetition of a  word.  It will also convert a two-word entry into two one-word  entries.  For example, LOS ANGELES ncy occurs only when these word lists    are used with the new vocabulary.  Not long ago my UPDICT.CMP had   grown too large for THE WORD sorting program to process it. Since I have been using THE WORD for quite some time, I have       already built up the UPDICT.CMP to 18K with just the words which  I encountered that were missing from the expanded vocabulary.  In     addition, I had 2K in the SPECIALS.CMP supplement.  The  UPDICT.CPM (18K) had 4269 words and the SPECIALS.CMP (2K) had 243  words. I dow and WORDS910.LST) into one.    At first blush this looks like a job for VDE266.COM.  But           considering that all four files total about 79K there is no way     that I can get this into VDE memory (which tops out somewhere in    the 40K to 48K size, depending on spacing, line length etc.).   The next most obvious choice is PIP.COM.  Since none of these  files is binary, this poses no problem.  If I name the consolidated file NEWFILE, then the PIP command might look like     this:M>PIP <CR> *B:NEWS910.LZT and it was described as   "a list of words not in "THE WORD" as supplied with WS4.  The  list was checked with a L-A-R-G-E spelling checker and the words  are    correct...." The crunched file was 11K and it expanded to 22K  when uncrunched.  The number of words was 2108.  From the file           description, this appeared to be an ideal supplement to the basic   vocabulary.  However there might be some duplication of words in    the WORDS910.LST by my own UPDICT.CMP and the other list,           Wa negative.   All I    can say is, that I haven't heard of any failures.  Sad to  say,     this is not true of all of the contributions of well intentioned donors of update word lists.  Many words in these       lists duplicate those already in the latest vocabulary of THE       WORD.  Incidentally, the vocabulary that accompanied WORDSTAR 4.0   has 164K of compressed words.  It is possible that some of these    update word lists were generated while using the older, smaller     vocabulary and this redundawould become "LOS" and "ANGELES".  TED CODY would become "CODY" and "TED".  If I had LAS   VEGAS and LAS CRUCES both one a list, I would wind up with one      "LOS" and a "VEGAS" and a "CRUCES".  So processing the              consolidated list with DICTSORT.COM might pare the file down        somewhat.  I had noticed that the file WORDS.TXT had mostly lower   case words, with proper names capitalized. The first thing to do was to consolidate the four files            (UPDICT.CMP, SPECIALS.CMP, WORDS.TXTnloaded a file from GENIE by the name of WORDS.TXT.  It was   37K and had 4388 words in it.  This could make a nice addition to   my UPDICT.CMP.  But there is no assurance that all of the words     would be useful.  I knew nothing of the source and whether it had   a lot of personal words (friends, places and things of no  interest to me). More recently, a new file appeared on GENIE that was uploaded by   Jim Lill, the Genie Sysop of the Apple CP/M forum.  It was a        crunched file by the name of WORDFILE=A:UPDICT.CMP,SPECIALS.CMP,WORDS.TXT,WORDS910.LZTNOTE:  I used the CP/M command alone.  Then I used the PIP  command line at the PIP prompt. Next I tried to sort this consolidated NEWFILE with DICTSORT.COM.  OOOPS!!!!!  That didn't work at all.  Nice try,  but no cigar.  DICTSORT can't digest such a large file.  In fact,  it   won't process anything much larger than 40K and sometimes not  even that. The procedure now becomes a little more complicated.  I can        invoke the use of DICTSORT by u  have found that the residue of a file that has been passed  through the spelling checker is substantially smaller than its  original    size.  In a typical case one section of a split file entered the checker with 1836 unique words and emerged with only    598 unmatched words.  These were placed into my new UPDICT.CMP      which is now a very streamlined and efficient update dictionary. There is yet another reason for processing these split list        through THE WORD instead of just running them throMP.  Then I will be able to create a  new     UPDICT.CMP that comprises ONLY those words in the split files  that are not in the master vocabulary.  If THE WORD finds a  properly    spelled word in the split file, it will take no action.   But if a  word on the list is not is the main vocabulary it will  identify it for disposal.  This occurs if the word is simply not in the main vocabulary of if it is misspelled.  In this way it      will identify any misspelled words that may have inadvertently      fountreating the consolidated file as one entity was more gratifying    than processing an assortment.  It could be processed in            individual packets but a number of precautions would have to be     taken.  I opted to discuss a procedure which I consider to be the   better alternative. How does one go about splitting this master list into smaller      files that can be handled by DICTSORT? There are three procedures   that come to mind that can do the job.  One is SPLIT45.COM.         Another is CHOf disposing of each of these unmatched words.  You  may     discard them, or you may send them to the UPDICT.CMP or the         SPECIALS.CMP.  Since our purpose is to create a new and expanded    UPDICT.CMP, all such words will be placed in the UPDICT.CMP.   They will be sorted alphabetically and placed in uppercase and  all      duplications removed by DICTSORT which is automatically  invoked by THE WORD.  You wind up with a highly refined UPDICT.CMP that has no words already in the master vocabulary.  I sing THE WORD to spell check this    consolidated file.  But this will encounter the same overflow       problem as above unless some precautions are taken.  I will have    to split this large file into a number of smaller files which can   be processed with DICTSORT.  Why do I propose to use THE WORD as  a spelling checker to sort these split files? The plan is to create a new UPDICT.CMP from scratch.  This means   that I must first remove (or at least rename) any file on the  disc with the name UPDICT.Cugh DICTSORT  one file at a time.  If I did that, I would have several files,  each   alphabetically sorted within the file, but there would be no        master list alphabetically sorted. A natural question might arise as to why bother consolidating      these files in the first place.  Why not pass each one separately   through THE WORD.  In this example two of these lists were  already too large to be processed and they would have required  splitting   anyway.  By consolidating all updates on hand and d their way into this list.  Remember that these words were     put in the list by someone else and it is assumed that the list  is correct.  But I did find a word "SERLOIN" which doesn't exist.   I  changed that to "SIRLOIN".  So it pays to be suspicious.  But       there is more to this madness. As the first section of the split files is passed through the      checker, every word not in the primary vocabulary will be           identified as an unmatched word and you will be presented with  the option oPVDE2.COM and the other is PIP.COM.  Each has         eccentricities that must be dealt with. Let's start with CHOPVDE2.COM.  This splendid program does the     job very well and rarely gives any trouble even though it is  still in beta testing.  All things considered, this is my first  choice   to split the file.  For the use of CHOPVDE2, refer to an  article I wrote on that in the December issue of the IEAUG newsletter.  Since you may have no idea of the number of words in   the master file (and each wly to be a part  of        another word.  Usually any pair of very large words will do  fine.  You just need to be aware of this.  Depending upon how you  invoke  PIP and how the word list is written, your usage will make  a       difference between success and failure.  Remember that in order  to retain upper/lower case integrity, PIP must be invoked by not       including the PIP command line with the CP/M command line.  See     the beginners article on PIP elsewhere in this newsletter.  You     must invoumber of records you want each split file to contain.  It can be split into a specified number of approximately equal files.  And it can also be split by lines of    text (like CHOPVDE2).  The first two options are completely         unacceptable.  If you split it into a number of equal files, the    split point may occur in the middle of a word.  When this is        passed through THE WORD it will find two misspelled words which     are actually segments of the split word.  So play it safe and       spli "accounting" and all other lower case words will retain  their case structure.  You must type the string in the PIP command line exactly like it appears in the file NEWFILE.           Otherwise, PIP won't find it.  If the second section (FILE.TWO)     starts with the word "actuarial" and the last word is "Chicago",    this is the way the PIP command line would look.  You may  continue right after the command line above:*A:FILE.TWO=A:NEWFILE[Sactuarial^zQChicago^Z] <CR> It is completely feasible to letus until you think about it.  Suppose you have scanned the     master list and you find two adjacent words that look like an  easy break point.  Suppose they are "less" and "let".  When PIP  goes    searching for the string "less" it might run into that  string in   the word "bless" or "blessing" long before it reaches  the word     "less".  And it will then start (or stop) the segmenting  on that   word "bless".  Bad news!  So you must find a couple of  adjacent    words that are fairly unique and not likeord is a line of text) it is just a      guess as to how many lines to allocate to each spilt file.  I       choose 2000 words (or lines) and that was a very manageable         choice.  Each file is small enough to be processed by THE WORD.     When I finished I had five files with a total of 8656 lines which   is a nice way to determine how many total words (8656) are going    to be processed as candidates for the new UPDICT.CMP. A very similar file is SPLIT45.  It is capable of splitting  files by the nke PIP first and then, at the PIP prompt, use the  command line.  Otherwise PIP will convert everything to uppercase  letters.  So if I found a couple of words, "accounting" and "actuarial" as my split point here is how the PIP commands would    look:A> PIP <CR>*A:FILE.ONE=A:NEWFILE[Qaccounting^Z] <CR> This will create a file named FILE.ONE on the A:Drive which        begins with the first word in NEWFILE (also on the A:Drive) and     the last word in FILE.ONE will be the word "accounting".  The  wordt it according to lines.  The problem with this is that         SPLIT45 is infernally slow when splitting by lines.  It is easily   fifty times slower than CHOPVDE2. PIP.COM will do it beautifully, but you need to take a few         precautions.  First, you must determine at what point each sub-     file is to start and end.  This means you must first examine the    master file and judiciously select words that will be used as the   string to stop and start the segmenting.  The reason is not         obvio the ending string of one block    be the same string for the start of the next block.  In the         example above, I could have used "accounting" as the ending of  the first sub-file and also as the start of the next sub-file.   The    word "accounting" will appear in both files, but in the  sorting    operation done by DICTSORT.COM this duplication will be             eliminated.  This makes it simple for this application.  But in     other situations where a file is merely split, it wouldn't be a     gton, D.C.  20036    It is widely observed, and almost as widely lamented, that everything   takes longer than one expects.  However, most attempts to explain why       deadlines are missed and budgets overrun go no further than Murphy's (n.d.) often-quoted aphorism.  Blaming the phenomenon on unrealisticexpectations, as Handtvefer (1982) does, cannot explain why expectations    are not revised after repeated disappointment.  The problem presents both a theoretical challenge to economic science and an isad  processed the combined file NEWFILE, the list of 8656 words had  been reduced to 2957 words.  This is still a large number of words to supplement an already large master vocabulary.  But it  is highly efficient with no duplications anywhere. It is easy to check this new UPDICT.CMP for proper functioning.    If you check the new UPDICT.CMP with THE WORD for any misspelled    words, there should be no unmatched words found.  First use PIP  to create a copy of UPDICT.CMP on the same disc but with a  dify   makes matters worse.                      I.  Delays in Steps and in Jobs    A "job" is just something one wants to get done--and can tell whether   it has been finished or not.  A "step" is a physically essential part of a  job, performed in sequence with other steps; completing the last step means finishing the job.  To avoid considering intervals between steps, a step is not regarded as finished until the next step is begun.    The first question then is, how does delay in a step affect the job ‚LяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяЮяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяя         Why Everything Takes 2.71828... Times as Long as Expected                            by Philip Musgrove                         The Brookings Institution                       1775 Massachusetts Avenue, NW                          Washingood idea to cause a word to be repeated.  This PIP procedure is    extremely fast and accurate.  It is the easiest procedure once  you have selected the words to start and end a block. This may seem to be a lot of bother to create an updating          dictionary, but it eventually becomes necessary as these updating   dictionaries becomes too large for THE WORD to manage.  I expect    to continue adding words to the vocabulary but as it grows the      need for expansion will obviously diminish.  After I hsue of great practical   importance; a procedure for predicting delays could save a lot of money and frustration.  In the absence of constraints on the timeavailable for a job, it turns out that the ratio of time taken to time      expected tends to e = 2.71828... for a job consisting of an infinite number of steps.  Shorter jobs exceed the expected time by ratios less than e but  never less than 2.  Constraints on time, when the timeavailable is less than what is expected to be needed for completion, onlferent  name, thus:A:PIP A:TESTFILE=A:UPDICT.CMP <CR>Now check TESTFILE with THE WORD.

Procrastinateur (1971) appears to have been the  first to show that a delay in one step introduces an equal proportional,    rather than absolute, delay in the entire project.  Studying 283 large      civil engineering projects, [1] in each of which one step triggered delay   in the job, he found that a one month step delay could slow down the        project by as much as two years, even when nothing else went exogenously    wrong.  I have obtained very similar results using auch as raising a pyramid, in which each step consists ofplacing a single stone but some are harder to seat than others, might offer a test of this issue.  Unfortunately, Bloch's (1948) estimates of delays    due to fractures and accidents at Giza are hotly disputed by other          scholars, and anyway are too vague for quantitative analysis. [4]    Procrastinateur did not include the number of steps in his analysis,    but when it is included, the apparent paradox disappears. Smythe (1976),    studyingP = ! !

When highway projects alone are studied, the dummy for Massachusetts    is almost significant (t=1.83).                    II. Number of Steps and Step Delays    The finding that job delays are proportional to step delays in          initially counterintuitive, but is plausible once one considers that the    delayed step inte   actually taken to complete it tends to e times the time anticipated for its completion.PROOF:    It is straightforward: substitution of Proposition 2 into Proposition 1 gives:                                                       N         Time Required / Time Expected = R  = (1 + 1/N)                                           N         and lim R  = e as N -> infinity.                  N--------3.  Harnischfeger's hypothesis, while incorrect for delays, may still be    valid for "step problof a project. [3]  A still more puzzling result is     that the complexity or differentiation of the steps does not seem to        matter; this contradicts the intuitive notion that a step is a quite        arbitrary element of a project, and that complex steps can be made into     simple ones by subdivision.  This should permit better control and less     delay, but if simple and complicated steps are equally dangerous as sources of delay, nothing can be gained by adding to the number of steps. A project s large sample from the  PAO Register (1969 et seq.) which includes military as well as civilian     projects discriminated by presidential administration, cabinet agency or    contractor responsible, and the state in which the project occurred. None   of these variables is significant. [2]    These results can be summarized inPROPOSITION 1: If S and P are step and project time, respectively, and DS   and DP are step and project delays, then                     N                    ___         1 + DP/ the limits on the division of labor in manufacturing, discovered   that step delay tends to be inversely proportional to the number of steps   in a process, confirming that subdivision of labor yields a gain at the     level of individual steps. Her results give                                                          2PROPOSITION 2:  E(DS/S) = 1/N, with var(DS/S) of order 1/N .    Combining Propositions 1 and 2 then establishesTHEOREM 1: As a job is continuously subdivided into steps, the time      rrupts the schedule of work, causes overtime or            stretch-outs to avoid overtime, and even produces delays in previously      executed steps which have to be tested or repeated to make sure they do not suffer the same error which caused the delay.  Procrastinateur's research   also suggests that the job delay does not depend on where in the project    the delayed step or "foul-up" occurs, contradictingHarnischfeger's (1976) hypothesis that delays hurt most if they happen near the beginning or end ems" of other types--for example, if the job is    an airplane flight, with takeoff the first step and landing the last    one.4.  Bloch sometimes relies on the number of days the Pharaoh spent    sulking, which, even if correctly reported by the scribes, is a poor    proxy for delay in construction.Passing to the limit removes the arbitrariness in the definition of a step.  The ratio nevertheless converges: a job of arbitrarily many steps does not take forever to complete, in accord with experienc, for T constant.It is a corollary of this theorem that a job can actually be completed in   exactly the time expected--a result which Theorem 1 does not permit--but    only on condition that it be expected to use a negligible fraction of the   available time.  The proof is direct: R=1 requires exp(NT/A) = 1, from      which NT/A = 0.  This result also accords with experience: the only jobs    finished on time are those for which nobody is in a hurry.--------5.  So-called "interminable" jobs are the p share of the available time that the job is expected to use.  If N and A tend to infinity at the same rate, holding m constant,  then the probability of actually completing x steps in aninterval T is described by the Poisson distribution,                                    -m x                             p(x) = e  m /x!where x is a random variable because the steps vary in length or            difficulty.  The rapid decline in p(x) as x increases reflects the          unlikelihood of "catching up" aer, Luke, "Micro-Rational Expectations, or Learning by Doing    (Wrong)," Ausgezeichnetter Stiftung, June 1982, 3, 1-11.Harnischfeger, Harold, "Project Delays, Cost Overruns and the Right Way to    Run a Railroad," Journal of Marginal Management, Spring 1976, 41,    37-50.Murphy, N.M.

Collins President:  Northeastern Ohio Adam Hackers March 16, 1989A guide to installing and using a hard disk drive on an Coleco      Adam Computer System and history of it's origin.  The Adam can      support up to an 85 Megabyte drive with proper software availelative slowness   of data packs was offset by the data storage size.  When I heard    about 160K disks, I really didn't see a need for one..after all,    my data packs worked just fine, and besides, why should I give up   about 100K of storage space just to speed things up? After a        while, I decided to add even more storage space to my system, so  I purchased a second data drive.  It was then that I first            encountered that dreaded illness we all succumb to at one time or   another ...the instems, remote systems and pay services as long as the  download   is for connect time only charges.

I     had also set up the desire for maximum storage space and ever  more stuff!Over the next 14 months, or so, I added components to the system.   An Orphanware MX64 gave me a taste of what running from a RAM  disk is all about.

I      guess from the first time I saw an original Coleco 160K disk        drive, I've wanted to get as far away from digital data packs as    possible.  My first use of the Adam with it's one data drive was    the "perfect" system for learning computing.  I was impressed by    the capabilities of this little machine, so the rable   only from AJM Software of CANADA and it's distributors.

I was scared to death of       missing a pin or something while hooking up the two cables.  I      could just feel those drops of sweat popping out on my forehead!    With a hot, flushed feeling, I went ahead and installed it.  All    those stories of people missing that single pin and blowing up  the controller inside the CPU were going through my head as I  worked.  I carefully lined up the plugs with the pins that Coleco  spent so  much time and effort in making inaccessible, all the auge electronics grade solder1 - keyhole or jig saw1 - hot melt glue gun and a few glue sticks1 - hard disk interface1 - set hard drive mechanics1 - cabinet to house the hard drive (w/or w/out power supply) 1 -   IBM grade power supply if the housing you have doesn't have  it already.

(between $28 and $50) 1 - set of tin snips1 - set of small rubber feet (the kind that peel off and stick) 1 - fine bladed small metal fied how to appreciate the running  of     programs at lightning fast speeds!  From then on, I worked my  way  up through the ranks and acquired a 160K drive (boy was I  feeling  like a king now that I had a disk drive!), a 300 baud  modem, a     256K memory expander (quickly upgraded to 512K when Orphanware's Big John made it possible), and yet a second disk      drive.  Well, with this setup, I finally "had it all!" Not so!  John came out with a 320K disk drive upgrade.  Then a      720K disk drive upgrajoy.  This version, I am told, will enable       those with an 80 CVU to still use it and toggle back and forth      from TV display to 80 columns.  Those with no 80 column monitor     can still run up to 4 disk drives AND a hard disk, any size  memory expander and still retain those digital data drives!  If  all that  isn't enough, the TPA size will be slightly higher, so  programs    needing extra TPA space will now become available to all  Adam      owners.  I'll go into a bit more detail on the current et to make it profitable..." I was told.  Well, thanks to the   move in other computer circles for ever more speed and storage,     the type of hardware needed to run a hard disk on the Adam has      been falling in price.  Nobody wants a mere 20 Meg drive anymore.   "Joe down the street has a new 40 Meg on his computer..I think      I'll go for a 60 Meg!" Well, because of that attitude, we can now   add that unwanted 20 Meg to our system for about the same price I   paid for my 720K disk drive!  The firsan onto a good deal on a hard drive    about a year ago (a Seagate ST225 for $139 is hard to beat!) He     knew that he couldn't use the drive yet, but purchased it for "if   and when" usage.  Well, he (George Harpster..the fellow who added   grayscale printing to Davinci) decided to loan Big John the use  of his drive for testing and installation on our BBS.  This went  so   well, I ordered a MiniScribe 3.5" 20 Meg unit from a company I      found listed in Computer Shopper Magazine for only $179 bucks.   e preliminary work,     John sent the interface to Tony Morehen of AJM Software.  Tony      would see about writing the software needed to let Adam "talk" to   the interface which would, in turn, talk to the hard drive.Tony not only patched the software, he also wrote a special         version of his now famous T-DOS operating system to drive it!  He   is currently working on a version of T-DOS that will allow those    of you with TV screen/monitor displays to use the same system we    80 column owners ende.  Now, at the end of all this, I had a      massive system running as many as 6 disk drives, an 80 column       display and so much other hardware that it would take another  page to contain the list!  It was during this time that I first  started asking John about the possibility of adding a Hard Disk  to my      Adam.  Just thinking of the high speed AND high storage  capacity   of a hard disk made me dream of one.  "No dice" was always his reply.  "It's just not going to reach enough of a        mark version of  T-DOS (version 3.2) after I finish the installation report.A few days after Tony managed to get his 20 Meg MiniScribe  running in Canada, he sent us the new software by modem (amazing  the       convenience one of those little things affords!) for testing  on    this end.  That started the mad scramble to obtain another          interface, and some inexpensive hard drive mechanics.  Well, just   to show you how things work in the Adam community, a friend of      mine in Cleveland, Ohio had rt step in the right direction was when I received a phone   call from Glen Smith in California a few months ago.  Glen had      seen an add for an interface used to add hard drives to Kaypro      computers.  Since the Kaypro is also a Z80 based machine, "why      wouldn't the same interface work on my Adam?" he asked.  To go      even further, Glen proposed to purchase an interface from the       dealer and send it to me.  I was to get it to Big John for          possible installation on an Adam.  After som   Still not a bad deal!  Glen went ahead and ordered his own          interface, which he is letting me use in my machine at this time    for a while.  What follows what I had to do to GET it into my       machine. THE INSTALLATION CAUTION:  This is not advised for the first time installer.  If     you are not well qualified to do this type of work, PLEASE take  it to someone who IS!  This is not for the amateur technician!Upon seeing the interface, I realized a potential problem.  The     board is degood look at it to make    sure you've located the right one.  It will say it's a Z80 right    on top.  Now, if you are lucky, you will find yourself to be one    of the luck FEW with a socketed Z80 (most were not).  If it has a   socket, just slip a flat bladed screw driver under the edge and     carefully pop it out.  Be sure to note the position of pin #1.      The Z80 can be popped into the hard disk interface (again, be  sure to install the pins in the correct direction based on pin  #1!)If you were the monitor, key-    board and any disk drives as well as the power supply cord.  The    next step is to remove all the screws that hold the two halves of   the CPU housing together.  You will have to place your CPU upside   down and remove the screw using a phillips screwdriver.  All the    screws are recessed into the bottom of your Adam, so about a 4 or   5 inch shaft on the screw driver would be best.  My advise is to find a small can to place all of these screw  into.  You'd be surprised how many wiless it with  solder wick to clean up any possible solder bridges.  Be careful  with     this or you could lift a trace by mistake!Now, you are ready to entail the first 40 pin IC socket.  Be sure   to always line these up with pin #1.  Very carefully, solder the    legs in place on the bottom of your game board.  Look this part     over very carefully.  A mistake here could cost you your computer   AND your new hard drive later!  If you are satisfied that you did   a good job and left no solder bridges, yare now looking at the metal RFI shield Coleco wisely placed  over  the game board.  You will spot the screws holding this in  place in strategic corners.  Don't miss the ones holding the monitor plug into place!  Place these screws with the others.       Carefully remove the metal shield and set it with the top half of   the CPU.You are now looking down on the famous Coleco Game board.  Almost   in the center, you will see a long 40 pin chip.  This is your Z80   and you are about to DESTROY it!  Take a signed to plug into a Z80 socket on the computer's       mother board.  The Z80 then plugs into the interface.  The  problem arose from the fact Coleco decided to solder the Z80a in  place     rather than socket the chip.  This saved Coleco a trifle in         production costs, but made our work a good deal harder.  The        computer you plan to use must be stripped of all existing           hardware.  That means removal of the data drives, AdamLink modem,   memory expander, printer interface, unplugging not so lucky as to have a socketed Z80 chip, you will   have to remove your existing Z80 from the game board.  You will     find two screws holding this board in place along with a wide       ribbon cable at the back.  Remove the two screws and place them     with all the others, gently lift the board and pull off the cable   that connects it to the main board.  The easiest way to remove  the Z80 is to forget about saving it and just snip the legs free.       Now, turning the board over, you will have to drl be missing when you reach  for    them later if you don't!  Next, remove the 4 screws that hold  the  front of your Adam onto the CPU.  This swings forward from  the     bottom edge (where the 4 screws were) and pops right off.   Now     carefully turn the Adam back to it's upright position and  make     sure your anti-static wrist band is well grounded.  Using a  bit of care, remove the top half of the case and set it aside.   Next,     remove the two reset covers and place them by your screws.   You    ou can go ahead and         replace your game board.  Reconnect the ribbon cable and replace    the two screws holding the board in place.  If you look at your     game board, you will notice quite a few components preventing the   interface from a low profile installation.  To clear these parts,   just press the 3 extra IC sockets into the newly soldered one.      This will build up the socket so that your interface will clear     the existing hardware.  Don't stack on to many, or you will loose   stabilite two ribbon cables to the hard disk.  YOU MUST BE SURE   TO LINE UP ON PIN # 1 OR YOU WILL DAMAGE YOUR UNIT!  Route the  two ribbon cables out of the housing and slip the cover into  place.    You can replace any screws you had to remove in the case. FORMATTING YOUR DRIVENow you are ready to begin the formatting of the new hard drive!    Before putting your system back together, it is best to let it  sit for a while to make sure it keeps running.  There's nothing  worse  than putting the system back tointo your built up 40 pin IC socket.  Make  sure it seats firmly.  It should rest on the left game controller  port  on one edge.  If your a little high, you can use one of the  small  screws to make a leg.  You can also use anything solid of  the      correct heighth to support the opposite side.  Now would be a good time to reconnect your power supply, keyboard   and monitor to test for proper computer operation.  If everything   is OK, the system should come up normally.  Try to boot a tape or   disk arating system capable of talking to the  hard     disk.  The only system in the world that can do this is Tony        Morehen's new Hard drive version of T-DOS 3.2.  (An EOS routine  is in the works and should be ready within the next few weeks).   Now, the program you want to run is called HDINSTALL.COM.  The  system   will prompt you for the type of hard disk you have, the  interleave you wish to use and the base port address.  Follow your installation instructions (on screen) for these areas.  The    pre game board  and perform other modifications to my original work.  Now we were  ready to     install the hard drive into it's new cabinet.  I used a             half-height vertical cabinet.  This one can hold two half height    drives and contains it's own power supply.  The mechanics simply    stand on their side.  Holes on the bottom of the housing allow      easy access to bolt the drive into place.  Carefully plug the       wiring harness from the power supply to the hard disk.  Next,       connect thy.  Using round legged sockets should make for a tight  fit with maximum stability.You are now ready to entail the interface.  If you look at the      bottom of your interface, you will see 40 pins lined up neatly      under the socket you plugged your Z80 into earlier.  The ribbon     connector pins will point towards your game controller ports.  In   fact, when installed, the board will stick out past those ports     about an inch or so.  Be careful to line up all the pins as you     plug the interface gether only to find that it  quit    working!  That's what happened to me, you know!The new hard drives rarely come with a low level format, so you     will have to take care of this yourself.  Unlike a disk drive       where you just say format and it does so, this job is much more     involved.  You will now be working with multiple heads as well as   cylindars.  A format is in two parts..the low level format and  the final format.  To perform the low level format, you will  first     have to run an opend put the system through a few tests until you are           satisfied that the new interface isn't interfering with normal      operations.  If it won't come online, try to "nudge" the  interface a bit.  It may not be quite seated correctly.  This is  the one     spot that gave me the most trouble.  I had to call on Big  John for help.  To show how willing John is to go out of his way  to help    someone with problems, he showed up at my door at 4:30 am  online.  John had to rework the socket, resolder thogram will take a few minutes to do the low level format.  Just   sit back and take it easy for a while.You are now ready (providing the low level format when ok) to do    the final format.  This is done using Tony's modified HDFORMAT.     The questions will be similar to the HDINSTALL programs', but the   result will be a high level format in a pattern your Adam can       access.  The drive will be partitioned into 4 logical devices for   you as well.  When this is finished running, it will generate yet f you plan on    replacing it.  I recommend using it to cut down on the radio        interference the interface tends to put out.  The only real mods    you will have to make will be in preparing the end covering the     game ports and side port.  The left tab and the side port shield    will need to be removed using the metal snips and the remaining     tabs straightened so that they will reach.  Use the fine metal      file to smooth out any sharp areas.  Peel off two of those rubber   feet I mentioned in:When you run submit, just type "submit find <RETURN> and each       drive will be checked automaticly.At this time, you can either go ahead and put your CPU back         together or start to load the hard disk with software.  I prefer    to load it up as this gives me a further means of testing it's      reliability.  (Actually, the test is for the reliability of the     installation of the interface board.) If you are ready to put it    all back together, proceed to the next section.   PUTTING IT BAeft joystick port about half it's width toward the right    controller port.  Trace a line up from this point about 5/8" and    over toward the back of your CPU a line about 4 and 1/2" long.      From this point, just bring the line down until it is even with     the other end and connect to this side forming a rectangle.  You    will need the keyhole or jig-saw to cut out this rectangle.  Use    the metal file and the sharp utility knife to smooth your work.  Measure as accurately as possible to see if t socket is also a good         location for some glue.  The better job you do here, the stronger   your interface will be bonded to the game board.  This will keep    it from coming loose on you later.  (Just don't use too much glue   and never glue to a chip.  If it has glue on it now, it's  probably safe.  If not, take a close look at what your planning  to glue to.  When this is all cool, try your system out again to make sure it still works properly.You will now need to modify that metal RFI shield i  another program called HDDIAG.COM.  Run this next to verify the     format and disk integrity.  When complete with this task, you  will have yet one more program to run...FINDBAD.COM.  This little        utility will check out the entire disk on a track by track basis.   To make it a bit easier to run, you can use your text editor in     non-document mode to write a short submit file.  Call it FIND.SUB   for easy of remembering.  The file only needs 4 lines.....findbad a:findbad b:findbad c:findbad d the parts list and place them on the highest    points of the interface.  This will keep the metal shield from      touching the board itself.  You can now CAREFULLY replace the       metal shield and screw in the retaining screws.  Install the        monitor port and then retry the system.  If you are sure that all   things are still working properly, you can go on and prepare the    top half of the CPU cabinet for installation.Mark a long rectangle on the outside of your CPU housing.  Start    at the lCK TOGETHERStart this slowly.  You don't want to bump the interface and        possibly break contact somewhere!  Plug in your hotmelt glue gun    and let it start getting hot.  While it's heating up, start         looking over your installation.  Try to find any spots where the    interface comes in close contact with other components of the  game board.  Those resistors and capacitors you had to clear  earlier    near the Z80 already have some glue on them, so they should work well!  The left game porthe hole will clear     your interface when the cabinet is restored.  If you are  satisfied with the job, power down your CPU and unplug everything  from it.   Disconnect the ribbon cables from the hard drive very  carefully.   You can use the small flat bladed screw driver to pry  the cable    off the connector pins.  Do this very carefully.  Now,  holding     your cabinet at an angle (the cut out side down and the  section    covering the data drives up), gently slip the edge of the  cutout   over the end ive as 4 logical          devices.  The first section becomes Drive A0:  and can hold up to   one megabyte of programming.  Drives 2,3 and 4 are named B0:, C0:   and D0:  respectively and can each hold 7 megabytes of data.  As    you can see from a bit of simple addition, Tony managed to glean  a full 22 MEG from an ordinary 20 meg hard drive.  To make this       software/hardware package work as a unit, Tony installed a path     feature so that anything placed on drive A:  at user level 0 (you   have 16 usY-cable to         connect my RS 232 serial port and my 80 CVU.  Then I installed my   512K memory board, PIA2 printer interface and finally my clock.Before reconnecting the ribbon cables to the hard drive, it's a     good idea to test the system out yet again.  If all still works     fine, you can power down and reconnect the hard drive cables.  At   this point, you can be pretty well assured of a well working        system from now on in!  The worst is over and you've just           completed the most dneed to write a text file for something, I can type WS <return>     and in just a few seconds, the path will go out to A0:, load        WS.COM which will branch out to C3:  to pick up it's overlay  data, then back to D15:  so that I can use it.  All that in less  than 13 seconds.  If I happen to boot WordSTAR 4.0 FROM C3:, it  will be up and running in slightly under 5 seconds!  I wrote patches to several useful utilities that will make using    the hard drive even easier.  SD.COM (super directory) wouldn       microprocessor itself!  To do this required a software system       culminating from 3 years of hard work on the part of Tony Morehen   who had to rewrite software several times to keep up with the  many hardware innovations of John Lingrel, but this one was the  all     time show-stopper!  It is doubtful that anyone else could  "develop independently" such a package at this late date, so if  one shows   up claiming such a thing...remember..you were warned!T-DOS 3.2 (or later) addresses the hard drof the interface and carefully bring down the  other   end until the cover is resting in place.  Gently turn the  CPU over and replace the front cover plate.  Install the 4 screws  to hold   this plate on.  Now, replace the screws that connect the  two       halves of the CPU cabinet.  You can now turn it back over and       reconnect the various other pieces of hardware.  In my case, I      reconnected the disk drive cable, then the power cable and key      board.  Next went the two data drives.  Then the er areas for each device under CP/M and T-D0S..0-15)  can be run from ANY drive or user area!  The A0:  drive is where  I     placed all of the utility software I use frequently.  Such  things  as FORMAT, CLOCK14, UNCR, DELIB, UNARC, ARK4, SD, etc.   are found  here.  I also put my WordSTAR 4.0 "com" file here.  The  nice thing about this set up is that, even though WordSTAR 4.0 is  now located on C3:  with all of it's accessory files and overlays, I can still use it from ANYWHERE!  If I am on D15:  and   ifficult hardware installation ever made on  an Adam!  Congratulations!  A WORD ABOUT T-DOS (c) version 3.2Probably the most usefull software packages ever written for the    Adam, T-DOS is the only software capable of running your new hard   drive.  The reason is that no other software written knows how to   "talk" to the hard drive.  Every other software package is          addressed to the various periferals such as data or floppy disk     drives.  This one must be addressed straight through the Z80 't      search beyond drive C:, so I patched it to cover the 4 hard disk    areas (A,B,C and D), the RAMdisk area (E), the two disk drives (F   and G...soon to be 4 drives!) and even the two digital data  drives (H and I).  I also patched a program by Irv Hoff called  "WHERFIND" to access all the different drive and user areas.  I also patched WHEREIS to do a search of all drives.  To use, just    type whereis <filename.type>(can use wildcards too!) <RETURN>.   No matter what drive and user area you are ongood look at it to make    sure you've located the right one.  It will say it's a Z80 right    on top.  Now, if you are lucky, you will find yourself to be one    of the luck FEW with a socketed Z80 (most were not).  If it has a   socket, just slip a flat bladed screw driver under the edge and     carefully pop it out.  Be sure to note the position of pin #1.      The Z80 can be popped into the hard disk interface (again, be  sure to install the pins in the correct direction based on pin  #1!)If you were ^C will reset from VRAM        instantaneously!  You also have a built in directory program as     well as all the other built in utilities found on standard CP/M.    On top of all this, Tony installed a built in COPY command that     can copy files from and drive/user are to any other drive/user      area!  For 80 column users, it has a built in CLS (clear screen)    command, the ability to access and external modem, a dot matrix     printer and recognize any size memory expander you may have.  It    even  is rated very highly in  that it helps children in developing their all important reading   and writing skills by giving the brain a good work-out. The game has a very good SmartWRITER readme file which explains    how to load and play it.  You are first presented with 2 buildings interconnected by a       couple of walkways. Ladders link the floors of each building and   behind some of the windows are special prizes and some with        frowning skeletal faces. The idea of the game is to remember wh THIS Adam can run at speeds         surpassing an IBM XT!

Marner The tapes or disks containing the Mini-Review were designed to     allow the user to obtain a short description of most, if not all,  of the software and hardware available for their ADAM systems. It  is easy tmember the last misteak you made32  proofread carefully to make sure you have not left an important out 34   the component with the shortest life span is the hardest to reach 36  why    read the manual when you can bug the author38  the simplest problem always requires the most complex solution 40  he    who laughs loudest has likely made good backups42  you will always find a serious bug the day after releasing your program  44  all good things come to those who....come and ask46  the possibility of a ase.  It's all well and good putting           information into it but this will be useless unless you can        easily find what you want. The database itself has 4 searchable    fields. These are ITEM, M'FACTURER, TYPE and ISSUE. Let's use an example which was brought to my attention by one of   our members who wanted to purchase a disk drive. For the purpose   of this article, the input that you will type will be shown        enclosed in single quotes. Type the word within the quotes and do  not inclut.  There is a ready-made print format on each of the Mini-     Review databases. To use it, press smart key <V> (Get Format) and  then press the smart key associated with the same drive you have   Mini-Review on. The familiar SmartWRITER file list screen will     appear with one file called Print_FMAT displayed. Press <VI> (Get  File) and it will appear on the screen. You don't have to worry    about its content as this is a special file made up of a mixture   of Mini-Review field names enclosed in square ram medium and insert       Mini-Review medium titled A-M since we will be looking for a disk  drive. Now press the smart key associated with that drive and you  will see a new set of smart keys along the bottom of the screen.   Leave smart keys <II> and <III> alone completely. These are for    fresh databases and if you do hit the wrong key, just press <esc>  and you should get back to where you started. The one you want is  smart key <IV> (Find Records) and after pressing this, you will    see the 4 searcn our APR-MAY 91 issue.  The Mini-Review database itself is updated each time an issue of   the Journal is published so these dates will change from time to   time.  It is up to you to send in your old Mini-Reviews to be      updated. If an item has been reviewed more than once the date of   the last review will be shown in the Mini-Review database and the  latest review itself will include information on where to find     the one before and so on. If you wish to find all of the Micro Innovations produclining up the cursor  next to the one you want using the up and down arrow keys or you   can print them out so you can study them. If you display them, don't forget to press <V> to get back to the  list.  If you press <VI> you will have to go through the whole     search process again to get your list. Pressing the <PRINT> key will get you a whole new set of smart     keys.  Press <V> (Print Records) and yet another set of keys       appear.  Press <II> or <III> to mark one or all records in the     lisde them in your input. You may use upper or lower case    because SmartFILER doesn't care. Key presses are shown enclosed    within left and right arrow symbols such as <VI> for smart key VI  and so on. Put the SmartFILER datapack or disk in your drive and pull the     computer <reset>.  After it has loaded it will prompt you to       insert your database. Put your Mini-Review database datapack or    disk in your spare drive. If you only have one drive then you      will have to remove the SmartFILER progbrackets ( [NAME] )  and regular smartWRITER characters. Now when you press <VI>, each record will be printed out           including the description field. If the description is not enough to go on, you may be luck to      find that your record has been reviewed in a past issue of the     UKAS journal.  If there is no question mark against the field      named ISSUE, there will be a date. In the case of the disk         drives, you will see that the Micro Innovations 3 1/2" 720k disk   drive appeared ihable fields on the screen waiting for you to type  something in either of them or all 4. In the case of our disk      drive example we will type 'disk...' in the space next to ITEM.    Note we have also typed 3 periods (full stops) after the word      disk.  This is so we can use one of SmartFILER's features called   partial match. This will find all the ITEMS beginning with the     word disk. Now you are confronted with a list if titles. You can display      them in turn by pressing smart key <V> after ts, use     the M'FACTURER field for your search and type either 'micro        innovations' or just 'micro...' Searching the TYPE field, you may want to type 'hardware' and you  will get a list of all the hardware available for the ADAM or you  can type 'micro...' in the M'FACTURER field and 'hardware' in the  TYPE field to find all the hardware items produced by Micro        Innovations.  Some TYPE criteria are split for more exact searches.  For         instance the hardware items are split between hae amount of people where going to read the echo! On the first, to collect the mail from the USA is not cheap even if    polling only once a week, and I can't afford to pay the bills out of   my own pocket, I've a wife who's pi**ed off enough with the money I    spend on this hobby and has I don't even read the ADAM stuff myself    that much, I can't be expected to pay for the collection of the mail! The second reason is that during the time I was collecting the mail I  think we had a grand total of abou‚GяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяЮяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяFrom the June 1993 Newsletter of the UK AUG.  These are the last few messages left on the INFOTEL bulletin board     system (BBS).

If I don't hear from anyone by Saturday      July 3rd, yes three days of this newsletter being sent out, I will     knock it on the head so to speak. This is all about response.  sided formats will also be on show     but not for long if they are snapped up in our surplus sale. We will   also have many other surplus items up for grabs (members and their     guests only).

To choose a word, place the     cursor over that word and press the fire-button. There are various options for the one player and two player games  and each one involves finding the 4 or 3 letter words in the       matrix.

Data tapes are so      critical when it comes to being careful not to leave them in the   drive when you switch off whereas disks don't seem to be harmed    by this. Disk drives come in 3 formats 5.25" double sided: These cost #152.90 and come with their own     power supply, a blank disk, a formatting disk and a lead to        connect it to one of the 2 the ADAMnet ports. This tively.  Unfortunately the HP, which stands for high         performance, hard disks are no longer being produced by Micro      Innovations due to lack of demand. The most popular of the two     remaining is the Powermate LC/40. It has a capacity of 40          megabytes of storage, that is 160,000 times the capacity of a      data pack and access is so fast, you would think you had a         cartridge installed, it almost instant. It comes with its own      power supply, an interface card that includes a pcity of a data pack and access is very  fast indeed. You can also boot software from them if there are no  tapes in the data drives. If you have a second data drive which    you do not use very often, you can part exchange it against the    price of a 5.25" disk drive and knock #25.59 off the price of the  disk drive. Most software these days come on 5.25" disks as well   as data packs and those that don't can be configured to operate    on disk. In many cases, the disk version of the software may even  be as   worked or not. Wish everyone was like you. Hope you don't mind if  I include your letter in our LETTERS article so others won't be    afraid to write in. How about using your word processor to         produce your next letter to us. We don't care how many spelling    mistakes you have, it's the content we are interested in and it    is so much easier to photocopy. Your data drive may have had some dirt on the head. A quick clean  with isopropyl alcohol or similar usually helps. Never give up     too  that is 2.88 times the capacity of a data    pack and access is faster than the 5.25" disk drives.  You can     also boot software from them if there are no tapes in the data     drives. If you have a second data drive which you do not use very  often, you can part exchange it against the price of a 5.25" disk  drive and knock #25.59 off the price of the disk drive. HARD DISK DRIVES:  These cost #228.65, #257.61, #305.12 and        #382.31 for the Micro Innovations LC/20, HP/20, LC/40 and HP/40    respecis the port on  the side or the front of the ADAM's CPU where the keyboard         connects.  The keyboard and the disk drive can be plugged into     either port.  They are totally interchangeable.  There is no       special configuration necessary, just plug in and go.  The word    processor will access this automatically and SmartBASIC will see   it as drive d5 (drive d1 and d2 are the 2 data drives). The disks  give you a storage capacity of 320k under normal circumstances,    that is 1.28 times the capaarallel printer   port and 2 serial ports. One for a modem and the other for         connection to an 80 column monitor. Articles on this drive has     been included in the newsletter over the past year so you should   have them.
