(switch 6 down). The only way I can get 1200 baud connect is to run another Term program first that will set my modem to 1200. Is there anything I can do to make this work? ------------ Category 1, Topic 8 Message 5 Sun Jul 21, 1991 C128.JBEE [* Sysop *] at 19:20 EDT Exit the BB or type M625;11 and leave all Wizard related questions on that board under the right topic. Besides being *free* and is also the best place for the questions and answers - under one roof. You may also see a post that will solve your problems. Not a "cop-out" but to direct you to the right place for the best service. A lot of effort and thought went into getting the Wizard board there and as a free Basic service.

Charlie ------------ Category 4, Topic 17 Message 15 Wed Jul 24, 1991 C.KALLAS at 22:35 EDT Another printer question? Is there anyway with my c-64 when I'm on the bulletin boards to print 80 columns on my printer instead of 40? Charlie ------------ Category 4, Topic 17 Message 16 Thu Jul 25, 1991 C128.JBEE [* Sysop *] at 03:36 EDT It is not unusual for a nine pin printer to make two passes per line for NLQ (near letter quality) mode or for bold print. What the printer does is make one pass printing a normal character and then advances the paper slightly and prints the same image again. That way it fills in the spaces and makes the character a bit fatter or bolder. re:print at 80 columns Hard to tell without knowing what term you are using but usually you can set the lenght. You can also use one of the many print utilities here online to strip carriage returns so you can print out captured text files at 80 characters per line. ------------ ************ Topic 31 Tue Jul 02, 1991 H.HERMAN1 at 15:34 EDT Sub: RAMDrive & RAMLink tips and tricks Let's share any tips and tricks so we all can use them. 3 message(s) total. ************ ------------ Category 4, Topic 31 Message 2 Sun Jul 21, 1991 D.SCRUGGS2 [BLUE2] at 19:18 CDT Hi, In ref. to "SPORT.

PS, I noticed some users over their that have received GW 128..Blake ------------ Category 4, Topic 31 Message 3 Sun Jul 21, 1991 H.HERMAN1 at 23:34 EDT Blake, Thanks! That's good news that gateWay is now being shipped. SPORT.COM was shipped on disk to owners of CMD's HD, and is also on CMD'S bbs. I think (but am not sure) that the guys at CMD were surprised to hear that SPORT.COM worked so well with the RL. It's not a public domain application, however. CMD owns it. Any registered owner of CMD's HD and RL have access to the file which is in the CMD file library. So long as the caller has registered, he/she is given access to any of these libraries. I routinely log-on CMD's bbs. If you'd like me to leave a note asking them to send you a disk, let me know.

I look myself and I can see only 1 set of jumpers. Are these the ones??? Please help, just obtained a 1581, some programs refuse to boot from device #9. I wish all programmers would consider the possibilty that most CBM 8 bit users that are still active are "power users" that have more than one drive..... Vaxman ------------ Category 4, Topic 35 Message 2 Sat Jul 20, 1991 H.HERMAN1 at 11:03 EDT I sure agree with what you've said. At best it is a nuisance, and at worst down right inconvenient to have to rely of drive #8 for running things, or parts of things. Perhaps someone else may have the info you need for the 128D. I've set up my flat 128 with a 1581 as drive 8, and one of the 1571's at #10. I installed a little black box to that 1571, duplicating its dip switches (after cutting out the dips in the 1571), and the box sits up front, so I can make it into a drive #8 when required. I've found that the only times I need to use the box are for copy protected disks, that return to drive #8 for parts. *NONE* of the software I run needs this so I rarely use it. Quite a few things require drive #8 for its parts, and all these things are on the 1581. I think, but am not sure, that JBEE has a 128D and may know how to do this. Howie ------------ Category 4, Topic 35 Message 3 Sat Jul 20, 1991 C128.JBEE [* Sysop *] at 21:00 EDT Actually I don't own a C128D ( I have three flats:) but will have one in a few days. Twin Cities 128 ran a short article about "dipping your D" and once I get the masters for all the issues I might make it live here in Lib#22. Usually they are "pads" with a small line in between which you can cut and then solder a switch to so you can change device numbers at will. I would tell you where they are and how to cut them but my service manuals aren't here and I won't have them until Tuesday. That is one thing nice about the CMD products, the "Swap" buttons. ------------ Category 4, Topic 35 Message 4 Sun Jul 21, 1991 W.COX6 [VAXMAN] at 10:19 EDT I would really appreciate that. I solved the problem with alot of programs by "snapshotting" them after they are in memory. But even this has some problems with it. See Ya' in the BitStream....

Pad 1 is the closest to the front. Pad 1 and pad 2 shorted or closed is device 8 (this is how it comes). Pad 1 open or cut and pad 2 shorted is device 9. Pad 1 shorted pad 2 open is device 10. Pad 1 and pad 2 cut is device 11. You can wire two switches from a hole in the computer case to make this an easier opperation. If you don't follow this or are unconfortable with an soldering iron find a techie to do it for you. Dave ------------ Category 4, Topic 35 Message 7 Sat Jul 27, 1991 C128.JBEE [* Sysop *] at 02:29 EDT Hi :) Just got a C128D today. The pads are near location U112 and U114, under the left side of the floppy drive, near the back. If you are careful you should be able to either cut them or solder onto them without removing anything using the directions in the previous post. ------------ ************ Topic 36 Mon Jul 22, 1991 M.SUBELKA at 23:44 EDT Sub: C= Pet 8023 Printer Need info about conpatablity with Pet printer and C=64C 8 message(s) total. ************ ------------ Category 4, Topic 36 Message 1 Mon Jul 22, 1991 M.SUBELKA at 23:46 EDT Does anyone know if the Pet 8023P Printer is conpatabil with the C=64C computer? I got a chance to get it for free, but if its not conpatabil than it dont do me any good, does it. Thanks inavance. Old Salt ------------ Category 4, Topic 36 Message 2 Tue Jul 23, 1991 VOYAGER-1 [Gary V] at 07:39 EDT If my memory serves me correct, the 8023 was designed for the IEEE bus of the PET's. If the port for the connection to the computer looks something like a centronics parallel rather than the conector used for the C64's serial bus, then this is the case. In order to use it with the 64, you would need an IEEE interface. These were made by several different companys, but they usually go for at least $100 used. If I'm correct about it being an IEEE printer and you arn't interested in investing in the interface, would you be interested in selling it. I have a PET and would be interested in buying it. I have written a wedge in order to use my Panisonic with it, but it doesn't work with all software. Gary ------------ Category 4, Topic 36 Message 3 Tue Jul 23, 1991 C128.JBEE [* Sysop *] at 18:07 EDT The 8023 is an IEEE machine, it doesnt work with much of the graphic software and print quality is not good. But, it is wide carriage, is about 100 cps, and it's free. A used interface can be had for about $25 if you look hard enough. I agree though that I wouldn't bother going out and spending big bucks for an interface because you can buy brand new 9 pin printers for $140 that are far superior. I guess the question for you is if it's worth the $25-$35 to buy a used interface. If not I would give it away to someone who can use it or wants it. They were good printers and mine saw much use! ------------ Category 4, Topic 36 Message 4 Wed Jul 24, 1991 M.SUBELKA at 20:30 EDT Gary & Art, thanks for the info, I guess I dont want it then if I got to go threw all them changes Sooooo, I will ask my instructer if its ok to give it to you Gary. But you got to come up with a way to get it to you. Thats if the instructer gives me the ok. Old Salt ------------ Category 4, Topic 36 Message 5 Thu Jul 25, 1991 VOYAGER-1 [Gary V] at 07:50 EDT It would be worth a few bucks for your trouble plus shipping costs to me. If your instructor gives the OK, we can work out arrangements through GEmail. I have a dedicated usage in mind for the PET, but it requires a dedicated printer to go with it. Hope this works out. THANKS ! ------------ Category 4, Topic 36 Message 6 Thu Jul 25, 1991 M.SUBELKA at 19:24 EDT Sorry Gary, the instructor siad no. He said if I can not use it, then he had someone else in mind. Sorry it did not turn out differnet. Will I guess, I save my money and get a Star Printer. Maybe the 24 pin one that I can take with me when I go IBM clone. That will be sometime for that. Old Salt ------------ Category 4, Topic 36 Message 7 Fri Jul 26, 1991 VOYAGER-1 [Gary V] at 07:45 EDT Thanks for asking Old Salt. I appriciate your good intentions. JBEE, a few postings ago, you mentioned that an IEEE interface could be found for as low as $25. When I was realy looking for ine about a year ago, the best off I received was for $80. This I felt was more than it was worth to me, but if you know of a source for one of these ( for the 128 ) in the $25 range I would jump on it. Gary ------------ Category 4, Topic 36 Message 8 Sat Jul 27, 1991 C128.JBEE [* Sysop *] at 02:32 EDT Okay, I will go shopping at my local dealer this weekend and see if he has any. I have bought the serial IEEE interfaces before for $25. It was a Elink, they run very hot, but do provide a 4x+ speedup, at least using my SFD. ------------ ************ Topic 13 Fri Jul 19, 1991 J.PARADISE at 21:51 EDT Sub: seikosha 1000vc driver Does a custon m driver exist- 8 message(s) total. ************ ------------ Category 6, Topic 13 Message 2 Sat Jul 20, 1991 VOYAGER-1 [Gary V] at 16:46 EDT I have a Seikosha SP-1200 VC which should be much the same as your 1000. Although I haven't used it with GEOS lately, I do remember that it worked well with one of the CBM compatable drivers that came with GEOS. If you are getting extra linefeeds, you may want to check the setting of the DIP switch for carrage returns. If it is ON then switch it to OFF and try it again. I also remember having a two pass driver for the Seikosh that is somewhat like those enhanced drivers for the Epson compatables. I will check my archive disks and if I can find it and it isn't already in the library ( I will let you know if it already is there ) I will upload it. As far as the Epson compatable feature, it is a sometimes thing. I have found that it does work with some graphic dumps ( a MacPaint viewer that I have comes to mind ), but there are others that just don't function corectly. Unfortunately, those enhanced Epson drivers are among those that I didn't have any luck with. Although, because I also have a Panisonic 1180, I didn't spend all that much time trying to get one of those drivers to work. If you have the time to experiment you may be able to get it to work. I would suggest downloading the Lasermatrix editor file which would let you modify the escape codes of an existing driver. Who knows, you might get it to work. BTW: your message was quite garbled. Gary ------------ Category 6, Topic 13 Message 3 Sat Jul 20, 1991 C128.JBEE [* Sysop *] at 21:05 EDT I had a 1000vc for a week and I think why it doesnt work with the multi-pass drivers is the fact that it doesn't have the horizontal OR the vertical resolution of the Epson (or clones). Which makes the printout rougher than that of a Epson. I tested it with Pagefox and the quadstrike (240 dpi) is what makes the Epson drivers so nice. I don't believe this is supported at all on the Seikosha Sp-1xxx VC printers. ------------ Category 6, Topic 13 Message 4 Sun Jul 21, 1991 VOYAGER-1 [Gary V] at 10:56 EDT Comparing the manuals for both my Seikosha and Panisonic, I find that they both use the same codes for bits per inch, N/216 linefeed, etc.. Although, the Seikosha manual said that when set to 240 DPI it would only print every other dot and ignore those in between. So, in effect, you only end up with a max of 120 DPI, but it should work ( at least this shouldn't be the reason why it doesn't work ). ------------ Category 6, Topic 13 Message 5 Sun Jul 21, 1991 C128.JBEE [* Sysop *] at 19:24 EDT I think the difference is that the 1000vc is only MPS-803 (1525?) compatible and only capable of 480 d.p.i. vs yours being a Epson FX-80 clone and capable of the 960-1920 d.p.i. ------------ Category 6, Topic 13 Message 6 Sun Jul 21, 1991 H.HERMAN1 at 23:35 EDT 1920 dpi? That's beginning to sound close to eyeball resolution. I sure wish my printer did that. :/ Howie ------------ Category 6, Topic 13 Message 7 Tue Jul 23, 1991 C128.JBEE [* Sysop *] at 18:11 EDT Correction :D I meant 960-1920 dots per line, not dots per inch :D or 480 dots per line for the C= clones. Sorry for that typo! Though I can't wait until we have printers that are capable of that...Lino typesetting for home computerists...not a bad concept! ------------ Category 6, Topic 13 Message 8 Wed Jul 24, 1991 VOYAGER-1 [Gary V] at 08:02 EDT I'm not sure about the 1000, but from the original question it sounded like it had the same Epson FX-80 emulation option as my 1200. There is a DIP switch that lets one select CBM or Epson emulation. The only thing is that it can only print a max of 960 dots per line, so it skips every other one when 1920 is selected. ------------ ************ Topic 24 Sat Jul 20, 1991 M.WRIGHT36 [Ridley] at 21:31 PDT Sub: GeoTermV2 This is a contiuation of the last Geoterm V2 topic.

The DTJ-BBS is a Commodore 64 discussion system designed to look like a PC program. 2 message(s) total. ************ ------------ Category 9, Topic 13 Message 1 Tue Jul 23, 1991 A.BERNHARDT at 21:23 PDT This topic is for messages pertaining to the DTJ-BBS. The DTJ-BBS is a shareware program for the C64. (It's available on GEnie and Qlink.) It runs similar to the Citadel group of discussion-oriented programs that run on other computers. The DTJ-BBS is somewhat unique for a Commodore program in that it does not support Commodore color graphics. It was written for sysops who don't want color graphics, but want something a little more serious looking. This software is primarily a discussion system; it encourages message posting more than other things like file transfers (although file libraries are supported). DTJ-BBS features up to 50 user-creatable message bases, 15 SIGs, 3500 messages, 4000+ character free-form message editor, 999 users, email (normal, urgent, & certified), external modules, Xmodem/Punter/ASCII(xon/xoff) protocols (with more planned), "twit" handler, optional profanity checker, word-wrapping to the READER's video width, sysop and SIGop commands, and more. Sysop/SIGop commands include enable/disable system, edit accounts, create & edit files, DOS mode, create/rename/delete message bases & sigs, read any email, kill or edit messages, and much more. This software supports all serial-port drives (1541/71/81, ICT & CMD HD, etc), 1650/60/70 or Hayes compatable modems (2400bps or 38400bps with a Swiftlink- 232 cartridge), optional CBM or ASCII printer (for audit trails), and optional battery-backed clock/calendar hardware. JiffyDOS compatable, but other ROM- based cartridges or modifications may not work. This software is unique but easy to learn and very easy to use. It's almost completely self-maintaining... all you have to do is validate new users and new upload files. It's also very fast. Many users think the DTJ-BBS runs on a PC! If you have questions or need help, leave a reply here or call the support board at 702-553-2869. ------------ Category 9, Topic 13 Message 2 Wed Jul 24, 1991 C128-BILL [Bill] at 08:27 EDT Sounds like a very nice package !! ------------ ************ Topic 6 Tue Jun 11, 1991 C128.JBEE [* Sysop *] at 19:54 EDT Sub: 512k REUs - new - $95 new REUs for less! 4 message(s) total. ************ ------------ Category 10, Topic 6 Message 3 Thu Jul 25, 1991 AMFORD at 21:55 CDT I have one of those expanded to 512k, 1764 REUs that I would be happy to part with for $95.
