Should be loads of fun, except the set of cans promised turn out to either not exist or be in use somewhere else, it's not very clear to me which is the case. And we've got maybe 4 weeks until snow closes our access to the site. I apologize for putting this request on the list, which clearly has wider distribution than is useful... but... Does anyone have a set of 2m cans sitting around that you'd like some quick cash for? We don't have time to get a new set out of any of the vendors...

How do I attach a DRSI type-1 card to NOS? I want to use the built-in 1200 baud modem as ax1. This is the command line I tried: attach drsi 0x300 7 ax25 ax1 2048 256 1200 As soon as NOS gets the line, it spits back "Divide Error" and retreats to the DOS prompt, where the system soon hangs. I've already checked for things like conflicting interrupts/IO spaces (same thing happens when only my disk controller and video board are installed). The board is running exactly the way it was delivered, and I've checked the config jumpers to make sure they agree with the manual. Someone out there MUST be using this card, so what am I doing wrong?

JG> * Origin: jim.grubs@w8grt.fidonet.org (1:234/1) Are you running some kind of packet radio gateway via UFgate? Is W8GRT your callsign? I'm interested because there is a possibility I'll be wanting to do this (using commercial radio not ham) in Manila, Philippines. I'm considering using the DRSI PC*Packet adapter. This is for a Christian charitable organization. If you know of a good way to gate packet radio mail to a FidoNet (*.msg) messagebase, I'd love to hear more (esp if it's free software)!

I need a couple of COSMAC 1802's. I could also use whatever manuals you may have such as programmers and user reference manuals. The indigenous system I have for it is a variant of FORTH (called IPS by its designer, DJ4ZC). This chip was originally done by RCA. If you have some laying around and have development tools you aren't using, let me know. The COSMAC 1802 is in the integrated housekeeping unit (IHU or OBC = on board computer) in Oscar 10 and Oscar 13 and planned for Phase III D.
