The IBM PC Options Assistant contains information about various IBM options,
including processors, memory, disk drives, monitors, printers, and other PC
features offered for sale.

OVERVIEW

There are many sources of information available from IBM about IBM PC products,
including announcement letters, service manuals, programming and technical
reference manuals, how-to "cookbooks," electronic bulletin boards (both public
and commercial), and others.  The IBM PC Assistant brings much disparate and
often difficult to find information together into one easy-to-use "electronic
book."

Note:  As the IBM PC Assistant is a product of the IBM PC Company, the
information contained herein covers the subset of IBM PC products sold by the
IBM PC Company.  Most other PC-related products, sold by other IBM companies or
divisions are not included.  Such products include the IBM Gearbox industrial
PCs, and certain host-attach hardware and software products.  Information on
these products must be obtained from the organizations offering them for sale.

 The reason for having a number of different books instead of just one large
 one is two-fold.  First, there is so much information provided that it might
 be awkward to use, and would take longer to search through than smaller books.
 And second, by dividing up all of this information into related subject
 matter, those who don't need certain categories of information (such as
 service tips, for example), can delete entire books to save disk space.
 Besides, these files can be logically linked together and viewed or searched
 as one large book, at your preference.  (This procedure is explained in the
 accompanying ASST.TXT file.)  For convenience, the files will be collectively
 called the "IBM PC Assistant" throughout the rest of this document.

 Not only is the information more "centrally located" this way than distributed
 across all the individual documents, but due to its electronic nature, the
 specific information you seek can be found more quickly and easily.  The
 source information is compiled into binary files that take roughly half as
 much disk space as ASCII files would.  And since the compiler also creates a
 "data dictionary" of all words and numbers anywhere in the files, all
 occurrences can be found and displayed on-screen in only a few seconds via the
 search facility provided.  In addition, hypertext links (hyperlinks) allow you
 to jump from section to section within a book without ever having to return to
 the Table of Contents.  Hyperlinks are also used to display popup footnote
 windows at the point of the footnote reference, rather than making you have to
 scroll down to the bottom of a page, or the end of a chapter, to find the
 footnoted information.

 The IBM PC Assistant is created by compiling a scripted ASCII text file, using
 the Information Presentation Facility (IPF) Tag Language and Compiler.  They
 are included in the OS/2 2.1 or 3.0 Developer's Toolkits, IBM Hyperwise editor
 (P/N 30H1731--3.5"), and IBM C Set++ First Step V2.1 (P/N 82G3744--3.5";
 82G3746--CD-ROM") packages, among others.  The IBM PC Assistant requires OS/2
 1.2 or later to operate, because it uses the OS/2 VIEW.EXE command to access
 the files.  This is the same command used to display the online OS/2 Command
 Reference.  Since both files were created with the same compiler, and are
 displayed by the same command, they look and act very much alike.  So if you
 know how to use one, you also know how to use the other.

 Note:  The IBM PC Assistant was tested, and does work, across an OS/2 LAN
 Server V1.2 or later network, relieving the need for disk space on the
 requester, not to mention not having to keep all those requesters updated with
 the latest versions of the IBM PC Assistant books.  (For instructions on
 Setting Up an OS/2 LAN Server to Share Online Books, see the document by the
 same name in the Networking Tips section of the PS Technical Assistant.)

  HOW TO USE THE IBM PC ASSISTANT

 Note:  The following instructions are written for users of the native OS/2
 online book version of these publications.  Most of the explanations will
 apply equally to the World Wide Web version of the books, however some minor
 differences may exist.

 Before you begin to use this tool, it is helpful to understand how to:

     Expand the Contents to see all available topics
     Obtain additional information for a highlighted word or phrase
     Use action bar choices.

 How to use the Table of Contents
 When the Contents window first appears, some topics have a plus (+) sign
 beside them.  The plus sign indicates that additional topics are available.

 To expand the Contents if you are using a mouse, click on the plus sign.  If
 you are using the keyboard, use the Up or Down Arrow key to highlight the
 topic, and press the plus (+) key. For example, Part Number / Pricing /
 Availability List has a plus sign beside it.  To see the complete list of Part
 Numbers, etc, click on the plus sign or highlight that topic and press the
 plus (+) key.

 To view a topic, double-click on the topic (or press the Up or Down Arrow key
 to highlight the topic, and then press the Enter key).

 Note:  To exit from any panel (window), including this one, simply press the
 ESC key, or double-click on the icon to the left of the panel title bar (NOT
 the one to the left of the IBM PC Assistant title bar, or you will close the
 IBM PC Assistant).  This will return you to the point from which you entered
 the panel (either the Table Of Contents or another panel).  This may be done a
 number of times in succession to step back through layers of panels, or until
 the TOC is reached.

 How to obtain additional information
 After you select a topic, the information for that topic appears in a window.
 Words, phrases, or numbers highlighted like this or this indicate that
 additional information is available, either in the form of a footnote, or
 sometimes an entire section.  Hyperlinks are used in some areas to help you
 jump from one section of a document directly to another, without having to
 return to a menu. (If you don't find this color to be easily identifiable as a
 hyperlink, you may change the color, as described below.)  Use the mouse, or
 Tab and Enter keys, to move between all the hyperlinks within a document.  For
 example:

 Certain words in the following section are highlighted in this way.  If you
 are using a mouse, double-click on the highlighted words.  If you are using a
 keyboard, press the Tab key to move from one highlighted word to the next, (or
 Shift-Tab to backup) and then press the Enter key.  Additional information
 will appear in a pop-up window.

 Note:  The windows that pop up when you double-click on a hypertext link are
 sizable.  Simply drag the sides or corners of the windows to the desired size
 and shape, just as you would any other PM window.

 Note:  Headings are assigned the color red throughout the IBM PC Assistant.
 The Change Bars (|), which indicate additions or revisions since the last
 release of the IBM PC Assistant, are also highlighted in red to make them
 easier to find.  (All other colors are as set by your OS/2 Control Panel (OS/2
 1.x), or Scheme Palette (OS/2 2.x) selections.  If a color, or combination of
 colors, is not to your liking, you may change them to something more pleasing.
 The operative choices are: Help Text, Help Background, and Help Highlight.)

 Tip:  An easy way to find ALL changes since the last version is to Search for
 the Change Bar character.  This can be typed by holding the Shift key while
 typing the backslash key (on U.S. English 101-key keyboards--other keyboards
 may differ).

 How to use the Action Bar options
 A number of choices are available for managing information presented in the
 IBM PC Assistant.  If you want to see more information about these choices,
 click on the name of the choice (or press the Tab key to move to the choice
 and press Enter).

 Search
       Allows you to find occurrences of a word or phrase in the current topic,
       selected topics, or all topics. (This choice is available from the
       Services pull-down.)

 Print
       Allows you to print one or more topics. (This choice is available from
       the Services pull-down.)

 Copy
       Allows you to copy a topic you are viewing to a file you can edit. (This
       choice is available from the Services pull-down.)

 Options
       Allows you to change the way your Table of Contents is displayed.

 Bookmark (This choice is available from the Contents pull-down.)
       Allows you to set a placeholder so you can retrieve information of
       interest to you. (This choice is available from the Services pull-down.)

 Help
       Provides online help panels for using the Help facility.

 How to use the Push Buttons
 The Search, Print, and Index push buttons arrayed across the bottom of the
 panel duplicate the functions of the same-name Action Bar options.  In
 addition there are buttons marked Previous, Contents, Back, and Forward.
 Previous simply steps you back through the series of panels you have just
 looked at, in the reverse order of how you originally looked at them.  By
 contrast, Back, uses the Table of Contents to step backward through all the
 sections listed in the TOC, in reverse order, from the current section.
 Forward, naturally, steps you forward through all the TOC entries.  And
 Contents pops the TOC list on top of whatever panel you are currently viewing.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.3. IBM PC Assistant Series Survey ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Here's your chance to tell IBM what to do!  If you like the IBM PC Assistant
series of books (ThinkPad Assistant, OS Assistant, Marketing Assistant, etc.),
say so.  If you would like to see new information, or different ways of
organizing the existing information, say so.  If you think some information is
a complete waste of space, let me know (and why you think so).  Your feedback
is valuable, and will help direct the future of the IBM PC Assistant. (No
guarantees that any or all suggestions will be implemented, but if you don't
ask you'll never know.)

You can return this survey by printing and mailing it to the address provided,
or by using Ctrl-Insert on the survey screen to copy it to the OS/2 clipboard
and then pasting it into a word processor and filling it out, PROFS and IBMMail
users can paste it into a note and send it to me at: MCHAPMAN at RALVM8 for
IBMers, or USIB3ZLD at IBMMAIL for external customers with IBMLink access.
CompuServers can reach me at: 72662,3663.  Or [e-mail] for
Internet users.  And you can even fax it to me (isn't technology wonderful?) at
919-517-1229.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Now an Online Database on CompuServe ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

If you know any users of IBM PC-related products who could benefit from the
information in the IBM PC Assistant, but who are not OS/2 users, another
alternative is the searchable database on CompuServe.  The IBM PC Assistant
Database, which contains most of the information in the various IBM PC
Assistant books in an ASCII format, can be reached with the GO word PCASSIST.
(You also can reach it via GO IBM, then selecting the Technical Services and
Support, and IBM PC Assistant Database menu options.)  Of course, this only
helps CompuServe users, but allows DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT,
Unix, and other operating system users to access the data via CompuServe.
Future plans call for a World Wide Web version of the database that would be
accessible from any of the online services, as well as directly.

Another service brought to you by the nice people on the IBM PC Assistant team.
(At present, Me, Myself, and I.)  Thanks to Buz Burzawa for his work on the
IPF-to-ASCII conversion tool that made this database possible.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2. Industry Reviews: Hard Disk Drives ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A sampling of industry praise bestowed on IBM products:

 Quotes

   Hard Disk Drives
  "What is needed is a drive with a low price, but with excellent performance.
   Our first choice, the IBM Deskstar XP [1GB], fits both these criteria,
   beating all Mode 4 drives and three of the Fast SCSI-2 units." (Computer
   Shopper, Jul95)
  "Of the IDE drives we tested using the same VESA local bus adapter, the IBM
   Deskstar XP DPEA-31080 [1.08GB] performed the fastest overall...."
   [Comparison of 6 drives, from Conner, IBM, Maxtor, Seagate, Quantum, and
   Western Digital] (Melissa Riofrio, PC World Magazine, Mar95)
  "[The IBM 728MB DSAA 3270 IDE drive (P/N 70G8511)] certainly impressed us
   with its aggressive pricing.  The secret behind the DSAA 3270's attractive
   volume and cost is IBM's Magnetoresistive (MR) drive technology.  MR has
   several advantages.  Because it uses separate elements for reading and
   writing data, it lets nearly 500 megabits per square inch be packed on a
   disk, instead of the 300 megabits possible on a standard drive.  IBM has
   made a case for MR being an inherently faster technology than standard
   read/write hardware.  Even with its smaller [96K] cache, the 3270 is quicker
   than the Maxtor [7546A], boasting 256K of onboard cache.  [T]he DSAA 3270
   ... would certainly be our budget selection if we were looking for a little
   more than 500MB without needing to spend a lot more money." (Bill O'Brien,
   Computer Shopper Magazine, Nov94)
  "Although the two IBM drives differ from each other substantially, both
   employ the magnetoresistive head technology invented by IBM.  Both IBM
   drives also employ digital read channel electronics that allow reliable
   reading of more densely packed data.  These two IBM drives do, in fact, have
   some of the highest track density of the group (as high as 4300 tracks per
   inch for the 728-MB DSAA-3720), and the 1-GB 0622 claims a top-rated MTBF
   (mean time before failure) rating of 500,000 hours." [Comparison of eight
   540MB-to-1GB IDE drives from IBM. Micropolis, Quantum, Seagate, and Western
   Digital.] (David Essex, Byte Magazine, Sep94)
  "[The IBM 0662 SCSI hard drive offers] terrific performance and great
   warranty and service."  [Faster than the Quantum Empire 1080, HP C2247,
   Micropolis 2217 and 2210XL, ProDrive LPS 540S, FilePro Performance 1060S,
   and 46% faster than the baseline Seagate ST31200N.] (Adam Meyerson,

  "The Adstar IBM 0662 Model S12 [hard disk drive] ... proved an excellent
   performer, coming in a close second or third on all our performance tests.
   But where the Adstar IBM stands out most is in its use of cutting-edge
   technology.  In contrast to the seven or eight platters packed into the
   other drives, the Adstar's use of PRML (Partial Response, Maximum
   Likelihood) technology and magneto-resistive heads let it pack 1.05GB into
   three platters in a 1-inch-high case [others have a height of 1.6 inches].
   Adstar also projects 800,000 hours of mean time between failures--more than
   twice that of most of the other hard disks."  (Randy Ross, PC World

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4. Industry Reviews: Monitors ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A sampling of industry praise bestowed on IBM monitors:

 Quotes
  "[T]he opinions of the panelists ... were relatively consistent.  [N]early
   everyone loved the IBM 17P.  IBM and Panasonic have the best [service]
   policies, consisting of a three-year warranty, and free on-site service.
   The IBM 17P was the apple of our judges' eyes, tying for first place in
   image quality and earning such praise from our judges as "clean," crisp,"
   and "very sharp."  A full set of digital controls is logically arrayed
   behind a flip-open door, and images automatically fill to the edge of the
   screen.  This Trinitron monitor even complies with the TCO guidelines, the
   strictest spec for electromagnetic emissions.  The IBM 17S/S [Sight and
   Sound] is ... a teleconferencer's dream.  One of two monitors in this review
   to include speakers, the 17S/S also has a video camera mount, headphone and
   microphone jacks, a built-in unidirectional microphone, and volume control."
   [Comparison of 30 17" monitors] (PC World Magazine, Apr95)
  "[The IBM 21P was] a favorite with jury testers, good price for its class.
   [Scored better in image testing than the Hitachi SuperScan Elite 21,
   Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 21T, Nanao FlexScan T660i, Idek VisionMaster 21, NEC
   MultiSync 6FGp, Mag InnoVision MX21F, and 56% better than the baseline Nokia
   Multigraph 445X.]" (Wendy Taylor, PC/Computing Magazine, Jun94)
  "IBM sure managed to make an impression with its recent entry into the
   monitor market....  [T]he 17P is a compelling Best Buy for those demanding
   the most of a 17-inch monitor." (PC World Magazine, Apr94)
  "Two products that retail for around $1200 average cost and have excellent
   scores are the IBM 17P and the NEC 5FGe.  [T]he 17P was the clear winner for
   image quality in this class.  We rated it best among 17-inch monitors on the
   image-quality screen tests, and it proved the best at the legibility and
   sharpness tests.  Based on a Sony Trinitron tube, the 17P offers
   VESA-compliant power management, MPR II compliance, and a complete set of
   controls for adjusting the screen and color reproduction." (Byte Magazine,
   Jan94)
  "The IBM 21P provides above average overall performance and carries the
   lowest price of any of the large-display monitors we evaluated.  The 21P
   features VESA-compliant power management systems, and it exhibited the
   lowest power consumption of all the large monitors." (Byte Magazine, Jan94)
  "IBM's 17P ... provide[s] clean, crisp, displays, in which text and graphics
   are extremely legible, even at high resolutions.  [It also complies] with
   the Swedish MPR-2 guidelines for low emissions and with the EPA Energy Star
   program for power management, and they provide practical amenities such as
   built-in tilt-and-swivel bases, overscan capabilities, digital controls for
   accurately sized and positioned images, and flicker-free performance, with
   vertical refresh rates of 75 to 100 Hz in 1,024 by 768 mode.  IBM's 17P ...
   undercuts the competition [NEC 5FGp and Sony 17se] by $300 to $450.  The
   17P's [controls] are clear and easy to operate....  If price is your primary
   consideration, it is hard to beat the IBM 17P." (Jack Nimersheim, Home
   Office Computing, Mar94)
  Both offer "clear, bright images, combined with support of high refresh
   rates" and have a "well thought-out monitor design." [Review of IBM 17V and
   21P monitors.] (VAR Business, Jan94)
  "IBM is catching on.  Built around a 0.26mm aperture grill Trinitron tube
   (the same type used in Sony's monitors), the IBM 17P will turn heads for its
   bright colors and crisp text.  Other features that make the IBM attractive
   are its clearly marked front-panel digital controls for adjusting the size,
   position, orientation, and even the color of the onscreen image.  IBM didn't
   skimp on electronics either.  The IBM 17P supports pixel resolution of 1,280
   by 1,024 at a 76Hz vertical refresh rate and 1,024 by 768 at 75Hz refresh
   rate....  The price is right, too.  With the prices of the [NEC] MultiSync
   5FGp and [Nanao] FlexScan F560iW, neither can be considered low-cost.  IBM's
   17-inch model is a better buy for those on a tight budget.  Good news for
   folks on an even tighter budget: IBM is also selling the 17V, a flat-square
   version of the 17P that syncs [up to] 1,024-by-768 resolution and costs less
   than $1,000.  The image quality of all models is worlds better than of
   traditional IBM monitors." (Wendy Taylor, PC/Computing, Dec93)
  [The IBM 21P] "is the first 21-inch entry from Big Blue, as well as the
   first IBM monitor fitted with a connector for Macintosh systems.  Subjective
   tests demonstrated that this monitor was made for high-resolution graphics.
   It delivers an unwavering image in 1,024-by-768 mode, yielding excellent
   brightness, a tight focus, and solid colors.  Images in 1,280-by-1,024 mode
   are nearly as ideal....  Demanding DTP users will find that IBM has included
   all the necessary digital controls on the IBM 21P.  In addition to the VGA
   and Macintosh inputs, the monitor has BNC connections for high-end graphics
   cards.  IBM's 21P easily meets the Energy Star requirement, of consuming 30
   watts or less while inactive.  In Windows at 1,024-by-768 mode, the 21P
   draws 117 watts.  In suspend mode, the monitor drifts down to less than 19
   watts." (John Quain, PC Magazine, 07Dec93)
  "The company that once produced peripherals that only worked with Big Blue
   machines is now marketing a line of inexpensive 14- and 15-inch monitors
   designed for use across the spectrum of PC (and PS/2) lookalikes. The top of
   this new line is the IBM 15P, an attractive 15-inch ... color monitor.
   [C]olor convergence was excellent in all video modes.  Geometric distortion
   was virtually nonexistent, and moire patterns were less apparent than on
   similar monitors.  All visuals were flicker-free.  Mode scanning and
   switching are practically instantaneous, with no perceptible delay as you
   move between VGA, Super VGA, XGA, and XGA+ modes.  Nothing surpasses the 15P
   in this respect, and few monitors come close to its performance.  It
   complies with ISO Standard 9241-3, which governs screen refresh rates, and
   MPR II, the stringent Swedish government standards that place limits on
   video electromagnetic emissions.  It adheres to the new VESA Display Power
   Management Signaling specification, which means that users will be able to
   reduce the monitor's power consumption from 100 watts down to 8 during
   periods of inactivity.  IBM's technical support has been an area of concern
   in the past.  If our experience with the 15P is typical, that no longer is
   the case.  And the monitor's warranty is exceptional:  three years' parts
   and labor, including first-year on-site service.  [T]here's a 30-day
   unconditional money-back guarantee if you aren't satisfied.  You probably
   will be, though.  The IBM 15P stacks up well against its competition,
   ranking among the best 15-inch monitors for ease of operation, color
   control, video mode support, and seamless mode switching.  Its warranty and
   tech support are standouts, and its retail price tag is reasonable.  This is
   a monitor of which IBM and any owner can be proud." (Barry Brenesal,
   Computer Shopper, Nov93)

A sampling of industry praise bestowed on currently marketed IBM/Lexmark
printers:

 Quotes

   2380/2390 Dot Matrix Printers
  "The 9-pin IBM 2380 Plus ... placed well above average on our performance
   tests, and the 24-pin IBM 2390 Plus ... was distinguished by its
   exceptionally sharp text and graphics output.  The IBM 2380 Plus and IBM
   2390 Plus each have a versatile tractor that can be mounted for either push
   or pull operation in four configurations.  The IBM 2380 Plus includes some
   thoughtful touches.  The Operator's Panel Lockout feature, for example,
   disables front-panel controls, except those for feeding and aligning paper.
   For a minimal price increment over the IBM 2380 Plus, the IBM 2390 Plus
   offers a considerable improvement in print quality. Graphics quality of the
   IBM 2390 Plus was exceptional for a dot matrix printer--crisp and uniform
   with good contrast and tonal range.  Text quality was equally high."
   [Comparison of 35 dot matrix printers] (Hal Glatzer, PC Magazine, 23Nov93)

   4035 WinWriter 600 Laser Printer
  "The 10-ppm Lexmark Winwriter 600 wins our Best Buy, thanks to an innovative
   load-balancing design that contributes to its fast performance, its
   excellent Windows software, and its crisp 600 dpi resolution.  We also like
   the way this printer makes it convenient to print directly from DOS and its
   robust 200-sheet paper cassette.  Although the price is about what you might
   pay for other 10-ppm printers, it's far from unreasonable for a printer of
   this quality.  The Lexmark WinWriter 600 is the one to beat when it comes to
   [Windows] printers." [Rating: 4 Stars out of 4] (Stephen Plaine, Home Office
   Computing Magazine, May94)
  "If you don't need a network printer, but you do need fast graphics speed in
   a Windows environment, you will have much to like in the WinWriter 600:
   quality output with a helping hand and reasonable graphics speed, plus
   guaranteed compatibility with [Windows 95], Windows for Workgroups, and,
   eventually, Windows NT clients." (Ed Perratore, Byte Magazine, May94)
  "Making your printer output match your Windows work onscreen seems like
   almost more trouble than its worth.  Enter the cavalry--or, more precisely,
   the ... Lexmark WinWriter 600....  The WinWriter 600 is the first printer to
   include the Microsoft Windows logo.  Lexmark worked with Microsoft to create
   a "single imaging model" for both printer and computer, which means the
   rendering algorithms are identical within Windows' and the printer's ROMs.
   Normally, printer languages such as PCL and PostScript require a conversion
   process that may ... distort what appears on the page from what appears on
   the screen.  The Winwriter, however builds a page directly from the Windows
   datastream without any conversion.  Under this system, the screen fonts you
   use are the system fonts for the printer.  Of course, no matter how
   sophisticated the printing process, the real key to a good printer is the
   output quality, and it's superb.  The depth, darkness, and lack of streaking
   in the blacks are outstanding--even for a full-page black rectangle.  The
   600-dpi printing with Print Quality Enhancement Technology makes jagged
   curves a relic of the past, creating smooth text and fonts.  The ...
   WinWriter 600 offers excellent print quality, advanced control over the
   printing process, and fine plug-and-play compatibility with Windows." (Russ
   Lockwood, Computer Shopper Magazine, Apr94)
  "Windows users tired of waiting for their printers to finish long printing
   jobs--especially graphics printing jobs--will find the ... WinWriter 600 a
   faster solution.  The WinWriter 600 is controlled entirely from your PC.
   [T]he Windows Printing System gives you a graphical representation of the
   printer, complete with animation that shows how each page moves through the
   printer during the print job.  You also see a job-completion progress bar
   and estimates of the print time remaining....  While the WinWriter 600 is
   working, optional voice messages speak up to tell you the printer status,
   give you job feedback, and offer troubleshooting information.  In the course
   of our testing, the WinWriter 600 handily outperformed the HP LaserJet 4M.
   With its excellent performance, fair price, and convenient computer-based
   printing control, the WinWriter 600 is a strong choice for Windows
   Printing." (Bruce Brown, PC Magazine, 29Mar94)

   4037 LED Printer
  "Lexmark printers are generally top-notch, price-competitive peripherals
   that effectively deliver better-than-average value for your dollar.  The new
   IBM [4037 5E 5ppm] laser printer from Lexmark follows in those footsteps.
   Finding a home for the [5E] isn't tough.  Without the manual paper or rear
   exit trays extended the [5E's] footprint is about the same as an unopened
   Computer Shopper.  Setup is just as easy.  Throughout it all, the fine
   documentation helps answer questions.  Even after you've got the [5E] up and
   running, the printer lends a hand by cutting power bills.  [T]he Lexmark ...
   scales back its power demands to a mere 12 watts when not in use.  Sending a
   printing job wakes it up.  At a strapping 16,000 pages per month, the duty
   cycle is more in the workgroup range than in the personal printer category.
   {T]he [5E's] attractive price makes it a good choice as a constant companion
   to a single PC in the office or at home. (Gregg Keizer, Computer Shopper
   Magazine, Mar94)
  "In PC Week Labs' head-to-head comparison of [Canon's] LBP-430 and
   [Lexmark's IBM] 4037 5E, the 4037 proved to be the better buy.  The ... 4037
   has a lot of small, added features and a 5-page-per-minute engine that help
   it out-perform the 4-ppm Canon in paper handling, serviceability, and speed.
   Printers at this sub-$1,000 price point have never been known for their
   paper-handling capabilities, but Lexmark has definitely raised the bar with
   the 4037.  In addition to having an input and output tray for manually fed
   sheets and envelopes, the 4037 comes with a 150-sheet tray.  We liked the
   implementation of the 4037's integrated manual sheet-feed input and output
   tray.  In testing, we could more easily load envelopes, transparencies, and
   letterhead using the Lexmark's pop-down manual feed tray than we could using
   either the Canon or HP [LaserJet 4L] printer.  What was especially nice,
   however, was that it also grabbed the media when we inserted it, letting us
   know that the printer knew that something needed to be printed.  In our
   tests of each printer, ... again the Lexmark shows better attention to
   detail than the Canon: It offers better access to the paper path and has an
   improved paper tray.  Loading paper was also easier.  Another Lexmark plus
   is its five-line LCD display, which provides printer status and error
   messages as well as simultaneous multiple menu choices.  Both the Lexmark
   and Canon printers have more memory-expansion capabilities than the LaserJet
   4L, which only supports a maximum of 2MB of RAM.  Both printers have
   energy-saving modes ... but we liked that the Lexmark can be shut off
   without unplugging to do hard resets, unlike the Canon.  In head-to-head
   testing, the Lexmark's faster engine gave it a decided edge, especially on
   text-only documents." [Overall score of 4.1, where 4.0 = Better than
   Expected]  (Michael Caton, PC Week, 13Dec93)
  "Lexmark's IBM 4037 5E page printer has a high duty cycle, flexible paper
   handling, and ergonomic design features....  [T]his 5-page-per-minute ...
   printer ... has a 16,000-page monthly duty cycle.  Lexmark's PQET
   enhancement technology increases the effective resolution to 1,500 by 300
   dpi....  You won't find a printer that's easier to use.  From its one-piece
   drop-in 3,500-sheet toner cartridge to its ATM-like four-line function menu
   ... the 4037 shows what happens when designers put a heavy emphasis on
   ergonomics.  The IBM 4037 [is] hard to beat as an extremely easy-to-use,
   low-cost, rugged unit for standard text printing."  (Bruce Brown, PC
   Magazine, 23Nov93)

   4039 Laser Printer
  "If you are ready to move up to 600 dpi output, you may be ready to move up
   in other respects, too.  The IBM LaserPrinter 4039 12R Plus ... offers an
   excellent blend of performance, features, and ease of use.  [Y]ou definitely
   get your money's worth with this 12-ppm device--it's equipped with both
   PCL5e and PostScript level 2 compatibility.  The control panel is sleek,
   borrowing a concept from a typical bank ATM.  The 4039 ... produced
   excellent output ...  [It offers] 100 shades or more of gray, so scanned
   photos reproduce superbly.  [I]t pushed out PostScript graphic images at top
   speed.  [T]he 4039 ... can also accept an optional LocalTalk port.  This is
   one of the best documented printers we tested.  All of this adds up to an
   excellent choice all told." [Rating: 4 Stars out of 4] (Stephen Plaine, Home
   Office Computing Magazine, Oct94)
  "Lexmark ... revamped its 4039 printer line last week with lower proces, a
   new network printing protocol, and new bidirectional capabilities that will
   operate over a Novell network.  Last week Lexmark began shipping its 4039
   Plus printers with MarkVision software for Windows clients connected to a
   NetWare network.  'They really have reached the next plateau in terms of
   end-user software for network printing services,' said Michael Weiss,
   president of MWA Consulting....  'The network print services are on a par
   with or superior to anything available.'  The new printers use the Network
   Printing Alliance Protocol [NPAP] 1.0, an asynchronous protocol that allows
   data to come back from the printer even while a print job is being sent to
   the printer.  'If the network administrator wants to query the printer, he
   doesn't have to wait for the end of a 100-page job,' said Lexmark's [Tim]
   Craig." (Jeanette Borzo, InfoWorld, 18Apr94)

   4076 ExecJet II InkJet Printer
  "In a perfect world, all personal printers would be designed as well as
   Lexmark's ... ExecJet II.  This toaster-oven-size printer is truly a
   plug-and-print machine.  The ExecJet's clever front panel is clear and
   informative, with buttons for controlling fonts and page orientation placed
   under a flip-up panel.  The ExecJet offers 12 built-in scalable fonts and
   lets you add up to 1MB of flash memory for storing more typefaces.  Paper
   handling is also impressive: An easy-to-fill sheet feeder holds 150
   pages--the most of any printer in this review--and 15 envelopes.  [T]he
   ExecJet is a printer truly designed with users in mind."  (Daniel Tynan, PC
   World, Jan94)
  "Lexmark's IBM [4076] Execjet II delivers on ink jet printing technology's
   promise: laser printer-quality output with a price competitive with that of
   most 24-pin dot matrix printers.  Power-down technology has earned the
   ExecJet an Energy Star-compliant rating.  Printing is whisper-quiet...; when
   the ExecJet is not printing, it makes no noise at all.  Replacing the print
   cartridge is simple.  Paper feeding is another strong point.  A top-mounted
   150-sheet feeder is simple to load and can handle paper, transparencies, and
   envelopes.  If you want laser-like output quality at a dot matrix price, the
   ExecJet is a fine choice as long as you don't need high-volume printing."
   (Bruce Brown, PC Magazine, 23Nov93)

   4079 Color Jetprinter PS InkJet Printer
  "Ink-jets offer the most affordable color technology....  What's more, some
   inkjets, including the ... Lexmark IBM Color JetPrinter PS 4079, provide
   excellent dithering and shading that place their output quality among the
   leaders.  The Lexmark's ability to handle 11- by 17-inch paper is a unique
   advantage in this category." [Comparison of 11 color printers]  (Scott Higgs
   and Chandrika Mysore, Byte Magazine, May94)
  "The ... IBM Color Jetprinter PS 4079 uses the same engine, ink cartridges,
   and coated paper as the Canon BJC-800.  However Lexmark ... has added new
   features, including an AMD ... RISC processor, a PostScript-compatible
   interpreter, CL-plotter compatibility, 4MB RAM, and Pantone-approved color
   capabilities.  Lexmark has also added multiple interfaces, Centronics
   parallel, serial RS232, and LocalTalk--and the ability to switch
   automatically between them.  The Jetprinter ships with drivers for IBM OS/2,
   Windows, AIX, and Apple Systems 6 and 7.  [T]he IBM boasts Pantone-approved
   output when printed on coated paper, and it does a better job [than the
   Canon] with the CorelDraw color chart.  However similar in output quality,
   the PS 4079 was mercifully faster with graphics than the BJC-800.  During ZD
   Labs color-graphics performance tests, the PS 4079 consistently outpaced the
   HP PaintJet XL300....  With its multiple interfaces, and faster performance,
   the IBM Color Jetprinter PS 4079 performs better than its Canon
   counterpart....  The IBM unit ... generates excellent output on inexpensive
   coated paper."  (Mitt Jones, Windows Sources, Oct93)
  "[The IBM Color Jetprinter PS 4079 and HP PaintJet XL300] are strikingly
   similar.  So how does Lexmark intend to distinguish the Jetprinter from HP's
   PaintJet?  First, the Jetprinter prints at 360 dpi, compared with the
   PaintJet's more typical 300 dpi.  Higher resolution can make a big
   difference in color output quality, because finer dots can mean smoother
   transitions between hues and better color mixing.  The Jetprinter samples
   we've seen look sharp, with bright colors, fine lines, and little of the
   bleeding inks common in inkjet printing.  Second, the Lexmark is
   significantly smaller than the HP.  [I]t takes up roughly 45 percent less
   desk space than the PaintJet.  Third, the Jetprinter comes with PostScript,
   while you pay extra for it on the PaintJet." (Dan Miller, PC World, Jan93)

   Optra Laser Printers
  "Lexmark['s] Optra C ... clear[s] the hurdles that have felled many of their
   color laser predecessors: high cost, high maintenance, and poor network
   integration.  [T]he Lexmark Optra C [is] well-suited for color printing in
   corporate applications, combining solid networking features with good output
   quality and performance on business graphics.  The Lexmark MarkNet network
   management software that came with our Optra C offers more features than the
   {Apple] LaserWriter's management software.... [ A] second network interface
   can be installed in the Optra C.  This will make the Optra a good choice for
   businesses that want to attach the printer to two separate networks.
   Strengths: Business graphics and text quality is among the best; exceptional
   networking features, including its remote-control panel; includes
   color-calibration software; performs well on text and business graphics
   documents; low number of consumables means easy maintenance." (Michael
   Caton, PC Week Magazine, 30Oct95)
  "For larger offices with not-so-large budgets, contributing editor Susan
   Glinert led the lobbying [for Editors' Top 20] for the high-speed,
   high-resolution, Lexmark Optra Rx laser....  '[Y]ou get 16 pages per minute
   at 600 dpi and 8ppm of real, live, absolutely stunning 1,200 dpi,' she
   says." (The editors, Computer Shopper Magazine, Sep95)
  "The Lexmark Optra R stole our hearts with exquisite 1200-dpi output that
   borders on professional typeset quality.  The ... Optra R boasts the best
   printing this side of typesetting, with true grays, flawless hairlines, and
   crisp reverse type right down to 4 points.  Amazingly, you can buy this
   workgroup printing press for just $1850 on the street, complete with Adobe
   PostScript Level 2.  No doubt: a clear Best Buy.  In 600-dpi mode, the Optra
   R aced the speed tests, but we were more impressed with the elegant design:
   Everything fits together beautifully, whether it's the tight fit of the
   output trays or the easy access to network boards and memory.  You can also
   upgrade the RAM to 64MB....  The Optra is also a real communicator,
   displaying the printing application and file name on its front LCD panel,
   while the MarkVision software affords easy PC-based control.  The Lexmark
   Optra R is a must-buy for anyone seeking quality output. (Eric Knorr, PC
   World Magazine, Feb95)
  "This 16-ppm printer, which supports 300, 600, and 1200 dpi, produced the
   best-looking output in this category.  Lexmark designed the Optra Rx for
   single-user desktops and connected workgroups with moderate printing
   volumes.  Its standard features include PCL5, PostScript Levels 1 and 2, and
   auto-sensing between emulations and auto-switching between inputs.  The
   Optra Rx has an intuitive control panel, and at 40,000 pages per month, the
   second-highest duty cycle of all the printers we tested.  Options include
   duplex printing and a 40-MB hard disk." [Comparison of ten 11-30 ppm laser
   printers]  (Michele Guy and John McDonough, Byte Magazine, May95)

   WinWriter 150c Printer
  "You may already own half of a smart color/monochrome printer.  Lexmark's
   new WinWriter 150c inkjet printer uses your computer's processing power, any
   of installed Windows fonts, and some devilishly clever software of its own
   to print roughly two pages of text per minute at 300x600 dpi, and about two
   to four minutes per full-color page.  Because this ... printer "borrows"
   some of your resources, Lexmark repays you with a low ... list price and a
   copy of the CorelDraw 3 application suite on CD-ROM.  Despite its low cost
   the 150c can work with separate black and cyan/magenta/yellow ink cartridges
   simultaneously; there's no need to swap back and forth between color and
   black ink cartridges....  A vertical paper-input tray ... handles everything
   from 150 sheets of plain or coated paper to 15 envelopes to 50 sheets of
   label or transparency stock.  [T]he sheet feeder can handle paper with odd
   sizes and thicknesses, including index cards....  The Lexmark 150c offers
   image quality rivaling that of inkjet printers that cost up to $100 more, as
   well as economical, convenient true black printing that's uncommon for this
   price.  Neophytes and veterans will love its super-smart Windows
   driver/control program and fast-return background printing." (David D.
   Busch, Computer Shopper Magazine, Nov95)

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.8. Industry Reviews: Speech Products ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A sampling of industry praise bestowed on IBM products:

 Quotes
  "An emerging area where IBM has committed huge resources and has attained a
   marked lead is speech recognition.  Over the past year the company has
   demonstrated and released a number of speech-recognition products, including
   the very impressive Personal Dictation system for OS/2.  IBM recently showed
   OS/2 Professional an amazing new speech-recognition technology [ICSS] that
   is speaker-independent and can recognize words spoken in a natural
   rhythm....  This technology could have a huge impact on the
   speech-recognition market." (Rich Malloy, Edwin Black, and Bradley Kliewer,
   OS/2 Professional, Jan94)
  "IBM ... has the widest range of speech products.  IBM's products cover the
   voice-recognition waterfront: speaker-dependent, speaker-independent,
   continuous speech, and discrete words."  (Bill Machrone, PC Week Magazine,
   01Nov93)
 
   IBM Continuous Speech Series
  "Is it possible that IBM has found the Holy Grail of speech recognition with
   the IBM Continuous Speech Series?  The answer is a definitive maybe.  The
   product clearly does more than the competition, and remarkably does it using
   fewer resources than most.  In addition, it's relatively inexpensive and
   works on a variety of platforms.  Developers can work with ICSS to enable
   applications immediately, and their end-users can walk up and use the
   ICSS-enabled applications without the need to train their voices to the
   system.  Additionally ICSS expects users to speak naturally, in a normal
   speech cadence, without having to pause between words.  In short, ICSS is a
   significant product.  It works as advertised, and does things that most
   observers didn't think was possible even a few months ago.  It works with
   most hardware, and on most computers that run OS/2." (Wayne Rash, Jr., OS/2
   Professional, Mar94)
  "IBM programmers have created a new client/server speech recognition system
   that understands any speaker in the language it's been told to listen to.
   There's no need to train the computer for a particular person's speech, as
   has been the case with earlier systems.  The ICSS system was designed ... to
   take advantage of OS/2's multithreading capability to give it faster
   response.  In addition, because ICSS is a client/server product, the user
   interface, which is the client on ICSS, can be doing one thing (such as
   listening to a phoneme) while the recognition engine on the server is doing
   something else (such as analyzing the previous phoneme).  IBM is selling
   ICSS as a software developer's kit, so that anyone can speech-enable an
   application.  The only hardware support that's required is an
   analog-to-digital converter supported by OS/2.  This includes such readily
   available devices as the SoundBlaster from Creative Labs.  Some computers,
   including the IBM ThinkPad 750, already include an A-to-D chip, so all you
   need to add is a microphone and a speaker.  In short, there's no
   particularly specialized hardware required.  Many OS/2 users can simply load
   the software and run the package.  In the past, speech recognition systems
   had to be trained to the voice of a specific user.  Usually, no one else
   could use such a system without first retraining it.  ICSS is different
   because it will understand any user of a particular language, including
   those who speak it badly or with accents.  Some experts have called ICSS one
   of the most important products of the decade.  [I]t's clear that IBM has an
   important product.  ...ICSS offers users and developers a reasonably priced
   and capable client/server solution to true speech recognition." (Wayne Rash,
   Jr., OS/2 Professional, Jan94)
  "IBM has quietly been working on getting you and your computer on speaking
   terms.  The ICSS is the result of those efforts.  It is an OS/2- and
   AIX-based speaker-independent speech-recognition technology that allows you
   to give your system commands by talking to it.  ICSS will someday reduce
   many common tasks, such as retrieving E-mail or loading applications, to a
   one- or two-word spoken command." (Byte Magazine, Jan94)
 
   IBM Personal Dictation System/VoiceType Dictation System (IPDS was renamed
   VoiceType)
  [A four-month trial of IBM's Voice Type Dictation system at the Woolwich
   Building Society in London] "[A]s long as you pay attention to training and
   support, voice recognition can bring productivity benefits to busy
   professional staff.  IBM has a clear lead in this product sector."  [Most of
   the current users find the system gives them] more productivity, a faster
   response and increased confidentiality. 'It is important to understand that
   you introduce the system to individuals, not departments.  As the technology
   develops, I am sure voice recognition will revolutionize the way in which we
   use computers both at work and in all other areas of our lives.' [Alex
   Brown, a management consultant with the Woolrich Building Society]" (London
   Financial Times, p. XIII, 02May96) |
  "IBM's Voicetype Dictation for Windows is an impressive product. Using
   extensive context analysis, VoiceType achieved the highest recognition rates
   in all categories....  Power macro creaion functions and a unique training
   regimen add to this package's capabilities.  IBM's technical support was
   well above par, and VoiceType comes with an extremely generous set of
   support policies.  VoiceType's high accuracy and powerful command tools make
   it the best choice for general dictation and computer control tasks."
   {Comparison between VoiceType and Kurzweil Voice for Windows] (InfoWorld
   Magazine, 27Nov95)
  "IPDS' voice-recognition abilities are strong.  Our tests revealed that the
   IPDS language and context models are quite flexible and the 24,000-word
   vocabulary is adequate.  As the software monitors the dictation progress,
   you can see it follow your words, making a best guess about each.  As you
   continue, IPDS may revise a previous word based on new context.  The result
   is a high level of accuracy.  When we dictated our test letter, IPDS missed
   only three words on its initial attempt, a score far batter than those of
   the competition. (Wayne Rash, Jr., PC Magazine, 20Dec94)
  "After many false starts and empty promises, there's finally a speech
   recognition system available to the general public.  It's the IBM Personal
   Dictation System, which listens to your voice and converts your words into
   typewritten text or computer commands.  It's that simple.  [T]he system
   analyzes your particular way of pronouncing words.  Because its speech
   recognition is tailored specifically to each user, people who speak English
   with a strong accent pose no special challenge to the system; it simply
   learns your style.  Each time you use the system, it learns a bit more about
   how to interpret your speech.  The system--which consists of software, a
   microphone, and ... a card that drives the speech engine--as a vocabulary of
   32,000 words.  It can even handle homophones--words that sound alike but
   have different spellings, such as to, two, and too.  IBM's system should
   help to bring the power of the personal computer to those who can't type or
   are intimidated by arcane commands.  So if you're looking to get rid of that
   keyboard, just speak up!" (Discover Magazine, Oct94)
  "IBM's Personal Dictation System 1.0 is a productivity breakthrough that
   makes a strong business case for the 16M-byte desktop machine.  Because it
   liberates highly paid professionals from the keyboard bottleneck and
   eliminates the frequent spelling errors of human transcribers tackling
   complex technical terms, PDS can quickly pack back its costs.  In PC Week
   Labs tests, PDS transcribed general and specialized vocabularies at 90 words
   per minute.  We found it easy to install, learn, and customize to different
   needs and tastes.  PDS uses a sophisticated language model and does a
   remarkable job of resolving same-sound words based on their use in a
   sentence.  [C]orrections are quick and convenient--and the system becomes
   steadily smarter with use.  In addition to text entry PDS handles GUI
   navigational commands." (PC Week Magazine, 18Jul94)
  "The IBM Personal Dictation System, or IPDS, brings computer-based dictation
   services to a mainstream corporate audience.  The system combines a
   voice-controlled application interface with a sophisticated dictation
   system.  Combining a command interface with dictation technology enables you
   to create and save documents in a completely "hands-free" environment: You
   can dictate and enter system commands with your voice.  Once I got the hang
   of speaking with a pause between words, I dictated fairly quickly, up to 70
   words per minute.  [T]he system improved as I read additional documents into
   it.  The adaptive language model does its job well.  [I]n general, the
   system is very accurate--considerably better than other computer-based
   dictation systems I've used.  Voice macros were simple to create and
   extremely convenient.  For instance, I could say "open letter," and the
   system would print my name and address, the current date, and a general
   salutation.  You can generate often-used phrases or paragraphs by simply
   saying a single word.  Voice-controlled computers are no longer relegated to
   the realm of science Windows or even to specialized nich markets; viable
   speech recognition has arrived on the desktop." (Stanford Diehl, Byte
   Magazine, May94)
  "This amazing new product [IBM Personal Dictation System] makes your PC
   understand every word you say." (Rich Malloy, PC Magazine, 12Apr94)
  "This product [IBM Personal Dictation System] ... could be a godsend for
   those who can't type well." (Joe Abernathy, PC World Magazine, Apr94)
  "[T]his product [IBM Personal Dictation System] will make virtually everyone
   who must turn thoughts into words more productive." (Wayne Rash, OS/2
   Professional Magazine, Mar94)
  "I'm writing this article using the IBM Personal Dictation System for the
   first time.  As I speak, what I'm saying appears on-screen, each word a
   fraction of a second after I've spoken it.  From time to time as I speak,
   IPDS will choose one word, only to go back and replace it with another that
   more correctly fits the context of this article.  We found ... that the
   package will quickly learn a lot about your speech patterns and word usage.
   By the time we were finished dictating this article, for example,
   corrections were rare.  For people who don't type, for those who must
   dictate while their hands are engaged, or for those who must dictate over
   the phone, IPDS is a breakthrough.  In addition, there are obvious uses for
   people who are physically challenged.  Even for skilled typists, this
   product can improve productivity, since dictation with IPDS can be two or
   three times faster than most typists can key in.  [IPDS] is the "voice
   typewriter" that was the stuff of science fiction writers--until now.  The
   product does nearly everything that the world of SF predicted it would, does
   it well, and does it quickly.  It's not stretching things too much to
   suggest that this product will make virtually everyone who must turn
   thoughts into words more productive."  (Wayne Rash, Jr., OS/2 Professional,
   Mar94)
  "I thought that complex speech recognition was going to have to wait until
   the next century...." (Lawrence Magid, Bay Area Computer Currents, 08Feb94)
  "Voice recognition should also be considered when choosing a sound board.
   Most of the companies offer simple voice-recognition applets....  These
   programs rely mostly on discrete speech-recognition techniques that let you
   utter simple commands to navigate around Windows apps.  The inaccuracy of
   these programs and their limited vocabularies can limit their usefulness.
   If you need serious voice-recognition capabilities such as speech-to-text
   functions, you will need to look at dedicated products such as IBM's
   VoiceType [Dictation adapters]." (John Quain, PC Magazine, 12Apr94)
  "The IBM Personal Dictation System listens to my words, puts them on the
   screen accurately and quickly ... and spells them correctly.  [It] is
   addictive....  If you try it, you'll buy it." (James Norman, Seybold's
   Outlook on Professional Computing, Jan94)

 Quotes
  Cellular/CDPD PCMCIA Modem
  "After spending some time with CDPD modems and using the technology, we've
   come to a very definitive conclusion: We're impressed!  We traveled to
   Seattle to test the CDPD modems from IBM.  When IBM does it right, it really
   does it right.  The really nifty thing about the IBM Cellular/CDPD Modem is
   that you can do voice, fax and data with the same unit.  The headset
   consists of nothing more than an earpiece that can pick up your voice
   through the vibration of your jawbone.  The modem connects to your laptop
   through a PC Card, and it can run off your laptop battery or with "battery
   assist."  Physically, the IBM Cellular/CDPD Modem is about the size of three
   3.5-inch floppies piled on top of each other.  In our tests, the IBM wasn't
   the fastest modem, but it was only slower by a cat's whisker.  While it may

   right choice for those truly avantegarde mobile users." (Art Wittmann,
   Network Computing, 15Mar96)

   WaveRunner Digital/Analog Modem
  " IBM continues to ride the ISDN wave, rolling out the first PCMCIA-based
   ISDN digital modem.  We found the WaveRunner's combination of full-function
   ISDN terminal adapter and 14.4K-bps analog modem in a PCMCIA form factor the
   most appealing aspect of the product.  Because we could connect to both
   analog and digital services, we were able to choose the fastest connection
   available.  This also eliminated the need for a separate analog line.  IBM
   will be offering free upgrades to support V.34 connections up to 28.8K bps
   in late July.  We liked that the WaveRunner uses IBM's Mwave DSP ...
   technology, which will allow users to download upgrades through software.
   IBM's WaveRunner is a must buy for any notebook user who needs both ISDN and
   analog connectivity from a PCMCIA slot." (Terry Tam, PC Week Magazine,
   13Mar95)
  "[IBM's WaveRunner is a] "slick product.  Just stick it inside your PC, run
   the configuration utility, and suddenly you can communicate with all sorts
   of places using lots of different protocols." [Comparison of ISDN modems
   from IBM, Hayes, Motorola, and others] (PC Magazine, Mar95)
  " The IBM WaveRunner is a variation on the ISDN theme of our main roundup.
   [It] is interoperable with any COM port-compatible modem (14.4 Kbps or
   under).  [It} costs about half the price of these [other] ISDN products.  So
   if you want to use both your existing network analog modems and move to
   high-speed ISDN adapters and bridges, IBM's WaveRunner digital modem offers
   an economical alternative.  The IBM WaveRunner has a BRI interface and
   supports one 64-Kbps B channel for data and one 16-Kbps D channel for
   signaling.  It requires a 386SX-based or better PC with Microsoft Windows
   3.1 or later or OS/2 2.1 or later.  And you'll need to provide your own
   NT1." [Comparison of 6 ISDN adapters from Ascend, Combinet, DigiBoard,
   Extension, Gandalf, and Intel] (Leslie Wygant, PC Magazine, 25Oct94)
  "While we're on ISDN, I urge you to consider IBM's new WaveRunner Digital
   Modem (ISDN) cards.  With a WaveRunner your PC can communicate not only with
   the few other ISDN devices currently out there but also with Switched 56Kbps
   equipment, Group 3 fax machines, and analog modems."  (Bob Metcalfe,

   (Rich Santalesa, Computer Shopper Magazine, Mar94)
  "[V]endors have begun to incorporate DSPs [Digital Signal Processors] into
   their modems.  IBM's Windsurfer board is the first one that I've seen on the
   DOS/Windows PC side.  This is a radical new way of designing modems.  The
   DSP offers two big advantages: First, you can send data and talk over the
   same line (to the same destination) concurrently.  Second, you can download
   firmware to the modem without changing modems when you want to operate at
   faster speeds or add upgrades.  The Windsurfer is the '90s equivalent of the
   old AST Combo card: It offers a lot of features and could be a hit.  It is a
   data modem--up to [14,400] bps.  It can fax also at 9,600 bps....  It is a
   sound card....  It is a telephone answering machine.  And it has a MIDI
   connector ... so you can create music." (David Strom, InfoWorld Magazine,

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.1. Processor-Specific Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Q. Who can I call for more information about IBM microprocessors?
A. Call IBM Microelectronics at (800) IBM-0181 for information about
microprocessors and OEM motherboard opportunities.

Q. I've heard that some Intel Pentium processors have a calculation bug in
them.  How can I tell if my IBM system has one of these faulty Pentium chips?
A. Try the following calculation using the Windows or OS/2 calculators:
   1) Divide 4,195,835 by 3,145,727
   2) Multiply the result by 3,145,727
   3) Subtract 4,195,835 from the result

The total should be 0.  On a Pentium with the calculation bug, the result will
be non-zero.  Call IBM at 800-426-3389 for more information.

Q. I have a replacement Pentium chip on order.  Is there any way to ensure the
accuracy of my calculations in the meantime?
A. A. Yes.  If you are using OS/2 Warp 3.0, there is a file called 586NPX.ZIP
(available from various electronic sources, including CompuServe--GO OS2SUPP,
in Library 23).  This patch operates as an OS/2 device driver that disables the
Floating Point Unit (FPU) of the Pentium processor, and redirects DOS, Windows,
and OS/2 programs to use Warp's built-in FPU emulation software.  This will
cause a slowdown in floating point calculations, but the performance
degradation in most applications will be negligible, if any.  Only programs
that make heavy use of floating point calculations (such as CAD and
scientific/engineering programs) are likely to see a significant difference in
performance.  Windows 3.1x and NT users can download patches to those OSes from
Microsoft's BBS (206-956-6735), CompuServe (in MSLIB), or from
ftp.microsoft.com (in directory softlib/msfiles), and other electronic sources.
The filenames are WW1140.EXE (for Windows 3.1x) and 35SP1.EXE for NT.  Or call
Microsoft at 206-637-7098 (in the U.S.), or 206-936-8661 (from outside the
U.S.).

IBM 386SLC Processor
Q. What is an IBM 386SLC, and how does it differ from other 386 chips?
A. It is an IBM-developed derivative of the Intel 386SX chip, called the
386SLC.

Q. How fast is the 386SLC?
A. This processor, while running at the same 20MHz speed as the 386SX, performs
as much as 88% faster than the equivalent speed 386SX chip, due to an internal
8K processor cache.  This is similar in concept to the internal cache in the
Intel 486 processor.

Q. At what clock speeds does the 386SLC operate?
A. The processor speeds offered are 16 and 20MHz.

Q. What does the "SLC" in 386SLC processor stand for?
A. It stands for "SX processor, Low-power, Cached."

Q. Does the IBM 386SLC processor include integrated power management
capabilities, like the Intel 386SL processor?
A. Yes.  The power management capabilities are not identical at the hardware
level, but they are compatible at the software interface level.

Q. Is this chip Intel 386/386SX-compatible?
A. Yes; every bit as software compatible as the 386SX itself.  It has been
certified as such by Intel, and in fact was developed with Intel's cooperation.
It is even pin-compatible; however the 386SX as defined by Intel leaves some
pins unused.  The IBM 386SLC uses some of these pins for power management,
asynchronous operation, and cache controllability.  This is why a 386SX can't
simply be removed and replaced by the 386SLC.  Additional circuitry is needed
by the system to utilize these advanced features.  Thus the reason for the PS/2
Cached Processor Option.

Q. Does the IBM 386SLC processor use a "static" design, suitable for low-power
application?
A. Yes.

Q. How does an IBM 386SLC compare to the Intel 20MHz 386SX, performance-wise?
A. The 386SLC processor uses an internal 8K cache.  The standard Intel 386SX
processor has no internal cache.  Compared to a standard Model 56/57 SX the
difference is up to 88% faster.  Some PCs add an external cache for better
performance. By comparison, the internal cache makes the Models 56/57 with the
386SLC installed as much as 67% faster than competitive cached 20MHz 386SX
systems, and even as much as 7% faster than 25MHz 386DX systems!

IBM 486SLC Processor
Q. What is an IBM 486SLC processor?
A. It is a single-speed version of the 486SLC2 (see below).  It was only used
in the IBM ThinkPad 700 notebooks.

Q. At what clock speeds does the 486SLC operate?
A. The only clock speed offered is 25MHz.

IBM 486SLC2 Processor
Q. What is an IBM 486SLC2 processor?
A. It is an IBM-developed derivative of the Intel 386SX chip, called the
486SLC2.

Q. If the 486SLC2 is based on the 386SX, why isn't it called a 386SLC2?
A. The 486SLC2 processor includes the instruction set of the 486SX, rather than
the 386.  It only uses the same socket pin configuration as the 386SX.

Q. How is the 486SLC2 different from the 386SLC?
A. The 486SLC2 has a 16KB internal cache (versus 8K in the 386SLC) and clock
doubling.

Q. How does it differ from the Intel 486SL/486SX/486DX2 processors?
A. The IBM 486SLC2 uses the same instruction set as the 486SX, and adds
instructions for power-saving operation (like the 486SL, which came out after
the 486SLC2).  Also it has a 16K internal cache (versus 8K for the
486SL/SX/DX2) for improved performance, and like the 486DX2 comes in
clock-doubling versions.  Like the 486SL/SX, and unlike the 486DX2, the 486SLC2
does not include a floating-point (math coprocessor) unit, which adversely
affects performance, compared to the 486DX2, when floating point math is used.
Also, the 486SLC2 has a 16-bit external bus (to allow systems vendors to save
money on motherboard design), which reduces performance slightly (about 10%
versus a 32-bit bus); it also limits the system to no more than 16MB of RAM.

Q. How fast is the 486SLC2 processor?
A. The IBM 486SLC2 processor runs internally at twice the speed of the rest of
the system, such as 40/20MHz, producing performance faster than a 25MHz 486DX,
but less than a 50MHz 486DX.  The performance of IBM's 40/20MHz 486SLC2 is up
to 271% better than a 20MHz Intel 386SX, up to 99% faster than IBM's 20MHz
386SLC, up to 53% faster than a 20MHz Intel 486SX, and up to 20% faster than
Intel's 25MHz 486SX processor.  IBM's 50/25MHz 486SLC2 is somewhat faster than
Intel's 486DX-33, but not as fast as the Intel 486DX2-50, due to the lack of a
built-in floating point unit and the use of a 16-bit bus.

Q. What if I need a math coprocessor?
A. An Intel 387SX (or compatible) coprocessor may be added for a minimal fee.
Performance, though, will still not be quite as good as the 486DX2, because an
external 16-bit coprocessor running at the clock speed (20/25/33MHz) is not as
fast as an internal 32-bit FPU running at the processor speed (2X the clock
speed).  On the other hand, a 486SLC2 with 387SX costs significantly less than
a 486DX2.

Q. How does the 486SLC2 processor perform against the Cyrix 486SLC?
A. The 486SLC2 is more than twice as fast. In fact, the 386SLC also outperforms
the Cyrix 486SLC (NSTL Lotus benchmark).

Q. How does this chip compare to Cyrix' 486SLC chip, in design and performance?
A. The IBM 486SLC2 has clock-doubling and 16K internal cache. The Cyrix product
has a 1K internal cache.  The IBM 486SLC2 is clearly superior to Cyrix in all
benchmarks we've run (Lotus, Word and Excel for Windows, using PC Week and PC
Magazine benchmarks).

Q. Wouldn't 32-bit applications run much better on 32-bit bus systems?
A. The 486SLC2 processor, with 16K internal cache, will support 32-bit
applications, with 32-bit data streams, with excellent performance.

Q. At what clock speeds does the 486SLC2 operate?
A. The current implementations of clock-doubling on the 486SLC2 are 40/20,
50/25, and 66/33MHz.  The current implementation uses the clock of the system
it is operating in (20/25/33MHz).  This chip is similar in function to a 486DX2
as far as clock-doubling.

IBM 486SLC3 Processor
Q. What is an IBM 486SLC3 processor?
A. It is a clock-tripling version of the IBM 486SLC2.

Q. How fast is the 486SLC3 processor?
A. The IBM 486SLC3 processor is up to 40% faster than the 486SLC2 running at
the same clock speed.

Q. At what clock speeds does the 486SLC3 operate?
A. The current implementations of clock-tripling on the 486SLC3 are 60/20,
75/25 and 100/33MHz, depending on the clock speed of the system in which it is
operating (20/25/33MHz).  The 486SLC3 is the industry's first clock-tripling
processor.

Q. What if I need a math coprocessor for my 486SLC2/486SLC3-based system?
A. An Intel 387SX (or compatible) coprocessor may be added (or 386SL in the
ThinkPad 700/700C).

IBM 486BL2/486BL3 (Blue Lightning) Processor
Q. What is an IBM Blue Lightning processor?
A. It is an IBM-developed derivative of the Intel 486SX chip that comes in two
"flavors": the clock-doubling 486BL2 and clock-tripling 486BL3.

Q. How do the 486BL2/BL3 compare to the IBM 486SLC2/SLC3 processors?
A. Blue Lightning is essentially the same as the 486SLC2/486SLC3 processors,
but uses a 32-bit external bus, like the 486DX2, for faster I/O.  This also
allows a Blue Lightning-equipped system to use more than 16MB of RAM (up to
4GB), a limitation of the 486SLCx processors.

Q. How does the 486BL2 compare to the Intel 486SX/486DX2 processors?
A. Like the 486DX2, the 486BL2 comes in a 50/25MHz and 66/33MHz clock speeds,
and offers a 32-bit external bus.  Unlike the 486DX2, the 486BL2 doesn't
contain an internal math coprocessor, but does include a 16K internal cache,
compared to only 8K for the 486DX2.  The overall result is better performance
(at the same clock speed) for the 486DX2 in floating-point math-intensive
calculations, but better performance in non-FP intensive situations (which is
much more common for most users).  Plus, the 486BL3 offers 75/25MHz and
100/33MHz clock-tripling versions, as described above, for even better
performance than the DX2.  Finally, unlike the DX2, the Blue Lightning contains
power-saving circuitry similar to that in the 486SLCx processors, making it
more suitable for laptop and "green PC" use.

Q. How does the 486BL3 compare to Intel's new 486DX4 processor?
A. Both processors come in clock-tripling 75/25MHz and 100/33MHz speeds, both
use 16K internal caches, and both use 3.3V technology for low
power-consumption.  No direct performance comparisons have yet been done;
however, because the DX4 contains a clock-tripled math coprocessor and the
486BL3 does not, the DX4 should be much faster for floating point math
operations.  Integer operations should be roughly equivalent.  Still, the
486BL3 chip is far less expensive than the 486DX2 and should prove a
satisfactory performer for those needing powerful systems on a lower budget.

Q. How fast are the 486BL2 and 486BL3?
A. In composite benchmarks, which test a combination of floating-point and
integer operations (an averaging of Norton, Landmark, Power Meter, Whetstone
and 16/32-bit Dhrystone benchmarks), the following results were tabulated:
Compared to an Intel 486DX-25, the 50/25MHz 486BL2 was 58% faster overall, and
the 75/25MHz 486BL3 was more than twice as fast (216%).  Against the Intel
50/25MHz 486DX2, the 50/25MHz 486BL2 was 2% faster overall, and the 75/25MHz
486BL3 was 38% faster.

Compared to an Intel 486DX-33, the 66/33MHz 486BL2 was 43% faster overall, and
the 100/33MHz 486BL3 was twice as fast (200%).  Against the Intel 66/33MHz
486DX2, the 66/33MHz 486BL2 was 9% slower overall, and the 100/33MHz 486BL3 was
26% faster.  For customers using primarily non-floating-point (integer)
computations, both clock-doubling 486BL2s offer similar performance to the
486DX2's, while both clock-tripling 486BL3 chips are significantly faster than
the 486DX2's, at a lower price.

Q. What if I need a math coprocessor for my 486BL2/486BL3-based system?
A. An Intel 387DX (or compatible) coprocessor may be added.

Q. What will math coprocessor performance be like?
A. Because the coprocessor is external to the Blue Lightning chip, and because
it runs at the speed of the bus (25MHz or 33MHz) it won't be nearly as fast as
a Floating Point Unit (FPU) built into the processor (such as a 486DX2),
however at the current extremely low price, a 387DX (or OEM plug-compatible
equivalent) can produce a significant impact on performance of floating-point
calculations.

Q. I have heard of IBM-made motherboards called "Azure," "Opal," and "Leopard."
What processors do they use, and are they available as upgrades?
A. These motherboards are made by IBM for use in OEM systems.  Azure uses the
Blue Lightning processors, while Opal contains the 486SLC2 processor.  They are
used by a number of OEM vendors. The Leopard motherboards are designed for and
supplied to Alaris Corporation only.  They use the 486SLC2 and 486SLC3
processors.  None of these motherboards is available directly to end-users;
only as part of OEM systems.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.2.1. Mwave-Based Audio/Fax/Modem Adapter Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Audiovation/WindSurfer Adapters
Q. The Audiovation cards sound very similar to the WindSurfer cards, but at a
much lower price.  Please differentiate.
A. Like the WindSurfer adapters the Audiovation cards use the Mwave DSP
(Digital Signal Processor) chip, which offers many of the same capabilities.
But the two sets of adapters differ in target markets.  Where the WindSurfer
cards are designed primarily for the office, and include fax/modem and
telephone answering features, the Audiovation cards are positioned more for the
home market, offering joystick ports, speech recognition and text-to-speech
software instead.  In addition, the Audiovation ISA card offers a multimedia
kit containing an internal CD-ROM drive, and 4 CD titles.  For a side-by-side
comparison of features, refer to the Comparison of IBM
WindSurfer/Audiovation/V.32bis DSP Fax/Modem Adapters document.

Q. The Best Ace and Spectrum Envoy adapters also use the IBM Mwave DSP.  Does
this mean that they are less expensive versions of the Audiovation or
WindSurfer cards?
A. Just as the WindSurfer and Audiovation cards differ significantly in
features and price, so do other adapters using the same DSP chip.  Where the
Audiovation adapter has dual microphone jacks (for stereo input), another card
may have only mono mike input.  Or another adapter may not implement all of the
features inherent in the Mwave chip, or may include different software.  So it
is important to compare not just the prices, but also the features and
specifications of all adapters utilizing the Mwave chip to be sure you are
getting the features and function you are looking for.

Q. Is there any way to add fax/modem and telephone features to the Audiovation
adapter, or joystick ports and speech recognition to the WindSurfer card?
A. No.  The only functional enhancements that can be made to these cards is via
software.  Those features would require hardware upgrades that are not possible
for these adapters.

Q. Are there any software upgrades available for the WindSurfer and/or
Audiovation adapters.  If so, how do I get it, and how much does it cost?
A. Due to the WindSurfer and Audiovation adapters' use of the Mwave DSP
technology, upgrades are simple, and sometimes even free.  The Mwave DSP allows
functional enhancements via software upgrades, instead of the traditional chip
or board replacement methods.  There is a free upgrade for all of the
WindSurfer adapters (ISA and MCA) that adds the following features:

     16-voice MIDI synthesizer
     Caller I.D. detection
     Full-duplex speakerphone
     JPEG image decompression
     Voice/Fax detection (2-way discrimination)
     V.17 (14.4kbps) fax
     V.42 error control
     V.42bis data compression
     Qsound 3-D sound effects

 These enhancements are available free of charge electronically from the IBM
 Complementary Products BBS, at 704-594-3799.  Download the files in the
 following directories: "WindSurfer ISA" or "WindSurfer MCA," as appropriate.
 Owners of the WindSurfer MIDI kit (P/N 82G7133) need an additional enhancement
 package that can also be downloaded.  To get authorization to do so, send a
 fax to 800-283-6051, with the following information:  Your name, address,
 phone number, fax number, and include "Subject: Request for MIDI Upgrade
 Enhancement."  You will then receive the information necessary to download the
 MIDI enhancement.

 Note:  There are no plans for Audiovation Mwave updates at this time.

 Q. How good is the SoundBlaster compatibility?
 A. Approximately 70% of all SoundBlaster applications should work equally well
 with the WindSurfer/Audiovation card as with a SoundBlaster; additional apps
 will work with some limitations (for example, music but not speech, or some
 distortion), while a few will not work at all, or with no sound.  More than
 100 applications have been tested and are known to work as is.

 Q. What kinds of programs won't work with the WindSurfer and Audiovation cards
 in SoundBlaster emulation mode?
 A. Generally speaking, any software that is trying to access a SoundBlaster
 card at the hardware level (versus the software interface), and those that use
 DOS memory extenders or proprietary game operating, systems, such as Doom.
 (Doom works, but without music, and sound effects are played through the PC
 speaker, for example.)

 Q. What's the difference between the original Mwave chip used in the
 Audiovation and WindSurfer cards and the newer Mwave 2780 chip?
 A. The primary differences are in performance and SoundBlaster compatibility.
 The new chip processes faster (60 MIPS vs 51 MIPS for the original chip),
 offers 32-voice wavetable sound, and has 100% hardware-level SoundBlaster
 compatibility (as opposed to only software-level compatibility in the old
 chip).  The new chip is beginning to show up in products such as the ThinkPad
 755CD/CE/CDV/CSE/CX/CV, 760, and Aptiva Magic systems.

 Q. How good is the M-ACPA compatibility?
 A. All M-ACPA programs (mostly educational software) that are written to the
 Device Driver (software) Interface will work exactly the same as with the
 M-ACPA card.  Only those apps that are written directly to the hardware level
 will fail.  There should be very few such applications.

 Q. Speaking of M-ACPA, can an Audiovation card coexist with one?
 A. No.  The software included with these cards includes some files with the
 same names, so whichever card is installed last will work, at the expense of
 the card installed first.

 Q. How does WindSurfer/Audiovation MIDI playback quality compare to the
 SoundBlaster Pro ASP and ProAudio Spectrum-16 adapters?
 A. Significantly better.  Where the SBP and PAS-16 cards use FM synthesis (for
 FM-quality sound), the WindSurfer and Audiovation cards' Mwave DSP chip uses
 wavetable lookup.  This allows it to play back digitally sampled musical
 instruments with much better fidelity (CD-quality sound).

 Q. What's the signal to noise ratio for the Mwave DSP?
 A. Better than 80dB for the full record and playback path.

 Q. Is there a developer's toolkit available for the WindSurfer/Audiovation
 adapters, if I want to write native applications?
 A. Yes.  Contact Intermetrics at 617-661-1840 for DOS/Windows and OS/2
 toolkits.

 Q. Is there any difference between the ISA and Micro Channel versions of the
 Audiovation adapter, other than the bus type?
 A. Yes.  The ISA version includes a connector for the IBM Internal ISA CD-ROM
 Drive (P/N 70G8501), Panasonic 562/563, or Sony CDU-31A), while the Micro
 Channel adapter has only an Audio-In connector to play music from a
 separately-attached internal CD-ROM, if installed in the system.  In addition,
 while both adapters are bus masters (which means they offload most of the
 processing load from the system processor, resulting in better overall
 performance in a multitasking environment), the ISA card can be the only bus
 master in the system, while the Micro Channel adapter can co-reside with
 multiple other bus masters.

 Q. Is there any difference between the ISA and Micro Channel versions of the
 WindSurfer adapter, other than the bus type?
 A. Yes.  The Micro Channel version includes connectors for the IBM Internal
 ISA CD-ROM Drive (P/N 70G8501), Panasonic 562/563, or Sony CDU-31A), while the
 ISA adapter has only an Audio-In connector to play music from a
 separately-attached internal CD-ROM, if installed in the system.  Thus the
 higher cost of the Micro Channel Adapter is offset by not needing a separate
 adapter for the CD-ROM drive (which not only may mean additional cost, but
 also another adapter slot required in the ISA system).  In addition, while
 both adapters are bus masters, the ISA card can be the only bus master in the
 system, while the Micro Channel adapter can co-reside with multiple other bus
 masters.

 Q. What are the other features of the WindSurfer adapters?
 A. Besides the fax/modem, MIDI, SoundBlaster compatibility, and CD features
 previously mentioned, they include high-fidelity digital audio
 recording/playback and sampled sound synthesis, telephone answering/voice
 messaging.  Software provided includes DataFAX Lite for Windows, Prodigy
 membership kit, a subset of Prosonus General MIDI instrument sampled sounds,
 and an IBM voice messaging and telephone answering program called PhoneFX (not
 available separately).  For more details, see the descriptions in the
 announcement letter (PCC93-521 or 193-314).

 Q. What does adding the WindSurfer MIDI Pac buy me?
 A. The MIDI Pac adds a MIDI breakout cable, and expanded set of Prosonus
 sampled sounds, and the Band-in-a-Box and PowerTracks music applications.

 Q. Does the Audiovation card support recording .WAV files while simultaneously
 playing MIDI files?
 A. Yes, assuming both your PC and music software can handle it.

 Q. Can the WindSurfer use audio at the same time the modem is operating?
 A. Yes; all audio features (except synthesis) can run concurrently with the
 modem, even at 14.4Kbps.  This is a feature that only the Mwave DSP offers at
 this time.

 Q. What kind of microphone do I need for the WindSurfer full-duplex
 speakerphone feature?
 A. Any standard unidirectional electret mike will do.  If you have a dynamic
 microphone, you may have to turn off your monitor while using the
 speakerphone, due to interference.

 Q. The announcement letters for the WindSurfer and Audiovation cards mention
 DOS/Windows drivers, but what about OS/2?
 A. OS/2 audio drivers for the Audiovation adapters were released in April
 1994.  WindSurfer audio and communications drivers were released in early
 1995.

 Q. The WindSurfer Micro Channel adapter and Audiovation ISA adapter contain
 CD-ROM connectors for attaching internal CD-ROM drives.  What drives are
 supported?
 A. There are two connectors.  One supports the connection of an IBM Internal
 ISA CD-ROM (P/N 70G8501) or Panasonic 562/563 drive, the other is for a Sony
 CDU-31A.  These same drives with OEM labels, and other Panasonic and Sony
 drives that use the same ISA interfaces (not SCSI) should work also, but have
 not been tested.  Additionally, as mentioned previously, the IBM Multimedia
 Upgrade Kit for the Audiovation ISA adapter will also work.

 Q. How can I use the IBM Internal ISA CD-ROM (P/N 70G8501) drive with the
 WindSurfer in a Micro Channel system?
 A. The IBM Internal ISA CD-ROM drive ships with an ISA adapter that has a
 Panasonic 562/563 CD-ROM interface.  Because the Micro Channel WindSurfer
 adapter uses the same CD-ROM interface, you can sell or give away the ISA
 adapter that comes with the drive which, naturally, will not plug into a Micro
 Channel PC.  It is redundant in this configuration.

 Q. Can WindSurfer and Audiovation adapters co-reside in one system?
 A. Yes, although with current software they cannot be active at the same time.
 Concurrent operation is planned for a future release of the software.

 Q. I have a CD-ROM drive attached to a different adapter.  I would like to
 connect to the audio port of an Audiovation or WindSurfer card, but my CD-ROM
 drive didn't come with an audio-out cable.  Where can I get one?
 A. First, try your CD-ROM vendor.  If they don't offer one, there are
 third-party companies, such as AMC (800-882-0587), Cables to Go
 (513-224-8646), and TTS Multimedia Systems (800-887-4968; 408-982-9465) that
 sell cables to connect most adapters and CD-ROM drives.

 Q. I have the WindSurfer ISA adapter installed and it is conflicting with my
 Roland MPU-401 card and my Adaptec SCSI controller.  What can I do?
 A. Set DIP switch 6 on the WindSurfer ISA adapter to "off."  With the switch
 in the "on" position it emulates the PS/1 MIDI adapter at the hardware level,
 which uses address x'330' for the MIDI port, and conflicts with the Adaptec
 (and some other SCSI adapters) and Roland cards.

 Q. What is DIP switch 6 for?
 A. With the switch in the "on" position it emulates the PS/1 MIDI adapter at
 the hardware level, which uses address x'330' for the MIDI port, and conflicts
 with the Adaptec (and some other SCSI adapters) and Roland cards.  In PS/1
 MIDI emulation mode the adapter will work with software written for the PS/1
 adapter, without needing any special DOS drivers.  The position of this switch
 has no effect on software using the WindSurfer MIDI drivers for Windows.

 Q. Speaking of the Roland MPU-401, do the WindSurfer and Audiovation cards
 support the MPU-401 MIDI software standard?
 A. No, because it is unnecessary.  The MPU-401 standard applies to DOS only.
 As the WS and AV cards require Windows or (soon) OS/2, any Windows or OS/2
 MIDI applications that use the MIDI programming interfaces built into Windows
 or OS/2 will work without needing MPU-401 support.  There are probably at
 least 100 Windows MIDI sequencers on the market, so finding a suitable MIDI
 product to use with the WS/AV cards shouldn't be a problem.

 V.32bis DSP Fax/Modem Adapter
 Q. What is the V.32bis DSP Fax/Modem Adapter?
 A. It is a subset of the WindSurfer ISA adapter for about half the price.
 While it contains the same fax/modem features, as well as the CD-quality audio
 playback and CD Audio-In capability, it lacks the telephony, and MIDI features
 of the WindSurfer.  Also, it doesn't include the DataFAX Lite and IBM PhoneFX
 software.  It is upgradeable to V.34 (28.8Kbps) data and V.17 (14.4Kbps) fax
 speeds, telephone Caller ID, call discrimination (incoming data, fax, and
 voice calls separated into different mailboxes), and full-duplex speaker-phone
 features, for an additional fee.

 Q. Is there a Micro Channel version of the V.32bis DSP Fax/Modem Adapter?
 A. Not at this time.

 Q. What ports/jacks does it have?
 A. On the back of the adapter are telephone and phone line RJ-11 jacks,
 microphone and Aux In jacks, and Line Out.  In addition, the DIP switches are
 accessible from the back of the card, without opening the system covers.  Also
 on the card are internal connectors for an IBM Internal ISA CD-ROM Drive or
 Panasonic 562/563 CD-ROM drive (or other using the same connector type), and a
 CD Audio-in connector to input audio from this CD, or any other installed in
 the system.

 Q. What COM ports, Interrupts, and Addresses can it be set to?
 A. COM1-COM4; IRQs 3, 4, 5, or 10 (for the COM port), and 11 or 15 (for the
 DSP); DMA channels 0 or 7; and (hex) addresses 0120, 0130, CE20, or CE30 (for
 the COM port), and 0300 or 0320 (for the CD-ROM drive).

 Q. What serial port chip (UART) does it emulate?
 A. An NS16550A

 Miscellaneous Mwave Q&As
 Q. What's so great about the Mwave 2780 chip?
 A. The MDSP2780 chipset), a 60 MIPS processor, has the following features: .

     44.1KHz MPC-2 16-bit audio with real-time compression
     Simultaneous audio play and record
     Digital audio mixing with up to 8 open .WAV files concurrently
     General MIDI-compatible 32-voice wavetable synthesizer
     SoundBlaster software support
     14.4/14.4Kbps fax/modem (28.8Kbps modem with free software upgrade)
     Voice-over-data feature to allow simultaneous voice conversation over
      same phone line as modem transfers (requires a free software upgrade,
      downloadable from the IBM PC Company BBS or the ThinkPad Forum on
      CompuServe)
     Full-duplex answering machine with variable message playback and voice
      compression
     Full-featured telephone and speakerphone (optional feature required)
     DSP is software-upgradeable to faster fax/modem speeds and other features

 Q. I have a ThinkPad 755 or 760 with the Mwave 2780 chip.  The free ThinkPad
 Mwave 2.0 software upgrade increases the modem support to 28.8Kbps (V.34).
 Can this same upgrade be used with other Mwave products, including IBM's
 Audiovation/WindSurfer/WaveRunner/Multimedia Modem, and other IBM and non-IBM
 products? |
 A. No.  The "Mwave 2.0" package is specific to the ThinkPad 755 and 760
 systems.  There are other 2.0 updates for the IBM WindSurfer Adapters (ISA and
 MCA), Multimedia Modem, and V.32bis DSP Data/Fax Modem (and perhaps the other
 IBM adapters as well).  Owners of OEM sound/modem cards have to contact their
 card vendors for updates, because the card vendors will need to customize the
 new drivers obtained from IBM before they can be used. |

 | Q. I can't seem to get my Mwave modem to connect reliably at high speeds to
 other V.34 modems.  Are there any patches for this?
 A. Yes.  Download a file called V34_178.ZIP from many electronic sources.
 This is an update for the Mwave 2.0 software.

 Q. I have an Mwave-based ThinkPad, Aptiva, or other system, or an adapter.
 What sound card driver should I use for it?
 A. The system or adapter should have come with DOS/Windows and/or OS/2
 drivers.  If not, or if they don't work correctly, and you are forced to
 select a sound card from the application setup list, look for a SoundBlaster
 1.5 or SoundBlaster Pro option.  Mwave emulates both cards.

 Q. I have an Mwave-based ThinkPad, Aptiva, or other system, or an adapter.
 What fax card driver should I use for it?
 A. If the fax software doesn't offer an Mwave option, select "Generic Class 2"
 or another modem of this type.

 Q. I frequently play games, audio CDs, or digital audio while using the Mwave
 modem for transferring files, answering phones, and so on in the background.
 Sometimes the sound cuts out temporarily, or the modem operates at less than
 full 28.8Kbps speed.  Why?
 A. Although the Mwave 2780 chip is a 60 MIPs processor, even it can become
 overtaxed occasionally while it is processing multiple complex commands at
 once.  When this happens it will reduce the modem transmission speed, or
 temporarily suspend the audio function in order to process the other tasks.
 If this happens frequently, you might want to set the modem to a top speed of
 19.2Kbps or even 14.4Kbps, in order to keep from exceeding the capacity of the
 Mwave processor.  Some experimentation should allow you to determine the
 maximum modem speed that can be maintained for your needs without interrupting
 other functions.

 Q. What's call discrimination?
 A. The Mwave modem and software have the ability to distinguish between
 incoming data, fax, and voice calls.  When the Aptiva Communication Center is
 running you can receive faxes and voice messages.  The system will recognize
 them all and handle them accordingly.  (Faxes go into the fax queue, while
 voice calls go to the answering machine function.)  It will also allow for
 hands free (speaker phone) operation.

 Q. If I answer the telephone by picking up the handset, will I disrupt the
 computer's ability to discriminate between call types?
 A. No, answering the phone will not prevent Mwave's Discriminator from trying
 to detect if the event is a voice or FAX call.  However, it is recommended
 that you close the Discriminator before answering calls with the telephone
 attached to the computer.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.2.2. Personal Dictation System/VoiceType Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Q. What is the IBM Personal Dictation System (IPDS) V1.0?
A. It is a combination of ISA or Micro Channel Personal Dictation adapter (and
external microphone) with software that provides speech-to-text input, and
allows the user to create files and documents "hands off."  In addition, any
OS/2 program that uses standard PM controls is automatically "voice enabled."
Voice macros can be set up as well.  The standard dictionary contains 20,000
general-office words (100,000 word U.S. English spell-checker), and allows up
to 2,000 user-added words.  In addition, 16-19,000 word medical (Emergency Room
and Radiology) and 30,000 word Journalism dictionaries are available as
add-ons.  This is an ideal product for poor typists, or those suffering from
repetitive stress injury or other physical limitations.  IPDS has been
superseded by the IBM VoiceType Dictation System.

Q. What is the IBM VoiceType Dictation (VTD) System?
A. It is essentially a renaming and repackaging of the IPDS product, with a
newer version (1.1 or later) of the software, and with the addition of a PCMCIA
card (P/N 89G2854) as one of the adapter choices.

Q. I have a VoiceType Dictation PCMCIA card that I bought for use with a
laptop.  Is there any way to use it with a desktop system too?
A. Yes.  There are several ISA/MCA adapters on the market that provide PCMCIA
sockets for desktop systems.  Some work well with the VTD PCMCIA adapter and
some don't.  The following are the adapters known to work correctly with the
VTD card, in alphabetical order:

     Cirrus PCMCIA Slot ISA Adapter (Cirrus Logic; 510-623-8300)
     Descartes PCMCIA slot ISA adapter (Antec; 510-770-1200)
     IBM PCMCIA Four-Slot Adapter for ISA (P/N 72G0485) - Slots 2 and 3 only.

 Known compatibility problems include:

     IBM PCMCIA Two-Slot Front Access Adapter for ISA (P/N 81G4246)
     IBM PCMCIA Two-Slot Front Access Adapter for MCA (P/N 81G4256)
     IBM PCMCIA Four-Slot Adapter for ISA (P/N 72G0485) - Slots 0 and 1 only.

 Q. What kind of microphone is required?
 A. The Personal Dictation System software includes a headphone mike, but if
 you prefer, a number of other microphones can be used, including the Shure
 SM10A with proper jack (same as used with IBM VoiceType), or equivalent, or a
 Sennheiser MD431 Handheld (same as used with IBM Continuous Speech Series), or
 equivalent.  If you have an IBM multimedia system that came with a microphone,
 it is suitable as well.  The earpiece-type IBM VoiceType Microphone with
 active noise cancellation (which improves accuracy) is also available
 separately.  This microphone comes in battery-powered (P/N 30H2343) and
 unpowered (P/N 30H2445) versions, depending on whether your sound card has
 amplified output (such as the SoundBlaster 16).  All of the current VTD
 adapters require the battery-powered version.

 Q. Is any other hardware required?
 A. Required, no.  But external self-powered speakers are recommended.  An
 example is Radio Shack's Realistic line, but many others from Altec-Lansing,
 Koss, Labtec, and others are suitable as well.  External speakers allow the
 user to hear what is input to the computer.  For performance reasons, a
 486SX-25 or better is recommended.

 Q. Does the Personal Dictation System adapter use the Mwave Digital Signal
 Processor chip?
 A. No, but the IPDS DSP and the Mwave DSP evolved from a common "ancestor," so
 they have many functional similarities.

 Q. Does the VoiceType Dictation System software support the Mwave Digital
 Signal Processor chip?
 A. Yes.  Version 1.1 (or later) supports the IBM VoiceType Dictation Adapter,
 which uses the Mwave 2780 DSP chip.

 Q. I accidentally erased my VoiceType Dictation icon.  Is there an easier way
 to get it back than reinstalling from scratch?
 A. Yes.  Do the following:

   1. Go to the \SPCH_RW\USERS\NNN directory.
   2. Look for a file with the extension *.eid.
   3. Open the file with an editor, find the line icon=done and erase this
      line; then save the file.
   4. Go to Re-enroll, click on NNN and it will ask if you want to create the
      icon.  Answer "Yes," and you're done.

 Q. I'm trying to use the Transfer macro in V1.32 (for Windows 95), but it
 doesn't work the same way as in previous versions for Windows 3.1.  What do I
 have to do?
 A. The Transfer macro is initiated differently under VoiceType Dictation for
 Windows 95.  The implementation follows a "drag/drop" metaphor using the
 keystroke version.  Here is how it works:

   1. To do a keystroke transfer, first set the transfer mode to KEYS in the
      TRANSFERS OPTIONS DIALOG BOX.
   2. Dictate text into Dictation Window and have the application you want to
      TRANSFER the text to up and running.
   3. On the far right of the Dictation Window Toolbar, there is an area which
      is not a button.  It is indented and has the transfer icon in it.  Put
      the mouse cursor in this area.
   4. Now press the left mouse button down and  hold it there.  The mouse
      cursor will change to the transfer cursor.  Move this cursor to where you
      want the text to go, and release the left button.  The transfer will now
      begin, one key at a time.

 Q. Is there any way to automatically turn on the microphone when I start the
 VoiceType for Windows 95 application?
 A. Yes.  Simply edit your icon's properties and add at the end of the command
 line the parameter -mon.  This stands for Microphone On.

 Q. Where are the VoiceType for Windows 95 "hands-free" macros?
 A. Go to the Voice Action Editor, and select the Import button.  A number of
 .VML files will appear under \IBMSPCH\LANGS\EN_US\MACROS.  The ALP32SUS.VML
 macro allows for standard english letter pronunciations ('A', 'B',  etc.)
 while the MIL32SUS.VML macro allows for military alphabet designations
 ('Alpha', 'Bravo',  etc.).  You may import both of these to your userid, but
 only one at a time.

 Q. How do I activate the VoiceType for Windows 95 Spell Mode macros?
 A. The steps are:

   1. Open Voice Action Editor.
   2. Select Import.
   3. Select the macro that you want to import.
   4. Select OK.
   5. Select OK on the Application Properties window.
   6. To verify, scroll down the Macros for any Windows dialog box.

 For more information, refer to the User's Guide, in the Importing Macros
 section.  Also, there is a nice write-up under the Help for VAE (Voice Action
 Editor) port section.

 Q. In installed VoiceType for Windows 95 successfully, and it works fine, but
 I can't seem to get it to recognize the add-on vocabularies (such as Emergency
 Medicine, or Journalism).  What's wrong?
 A. This and other installation issues are discussed in the README file that
 accompanies VT for Windows 95.  Be sure to read it.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.2.3. Serial Storage Architecture Adapter (SSA) Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Q. I see that IBM is selling a line of "Serial Storage Architecture" (SSA)
adapters.  What is SSA, and what are the adapters for?
A. SSA is a high-speed alternative to IDE and SCSI as a storage-interface bus.
Where IDE is limited to 2 devices (dual-channel Enhanced IDE has a limit of 4),
and SCSI to 7 devices (or 14 for dual-channel SCSI-2), SSA can support up to 96
concurrent high-speed devices.  Where SSA is a full-duplex architecture,
supporting two-way conversation with the devices, the others are half-duplex,
supporting one-way conversations--alternating between in/out.  Also, SSA's loop
design provides no single point of failure, allowing hot-plugging,
plug-and-play and dynamic reconfigurability.  SSA is also fully compatible with
the Fiber Channel Interface (FCI), which allows interconnection of processors
separated by large distances.

Q. Serial interface?  That sounds slow.  How does SSA performance compare to
IDE/EIDE and SCSI?
A. While SSA is capable of up to 160 MBytes per second, SCSI-2 is limited to a
maximum of 10MBytes (Fast) or 20MBytes (Fast/Wide), SCSI-1 to 5MBytes, and EIDE
to 11.1 (PIO Mode 3) or 16.6 (PIO Mode 4) MBytes.  (The actual throughput will
depend on the speed of the devices attached, of course.)

Q. How does SSA compare to the competing serial-interface architecture, Fibre
Channel-Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL)?
A. SSA is less expensive, more reliable, provides compatibility with SCSI
devices, and can support 2 to 4 concurrent conversations with devices.  FC-AL
is limited to one conversation at a time.  Both are emerging industry
standards, not proprietary to any one company.  Also, as of today no FC-AL
products exist in the marketplace.  SSA is the only serial-storage architecture
ready to buy.

Q. What kinds of devices are supported by IBM's SSA adapters?
A. Any device (disk, tape, optical, printer, etc.) designed with the high-speed
SSA interface can be used.

Q. So SSA doesn't just support storage devices?
A. That's correct.  Like SCSI (and unlike IDE/EIDE), SSA can support
non-storage devices.

Q. What SSA products are available?
A. The SSA adapter line currently consists of an IBM SSA Adapter and an IBM SSA
RAID Adapter, both for PCI adapter slots.  The SSA Adapter, Model PNS4-20,
supports two SSA loops with a data transfer rate of up to 160 megabytes per
second (MB/sec) and over 3,000 I/O request commands per second.  The adapter
will support up to 96 devices.  The SSA RAID adapter, is identical, except it
provides RAID 0, 1, 3 and 5 support for high availability in combination with
the high-performance features of SSA, and processes over 1,000 RAID 5 I/O
commands per second.  As for storage devices to attach to it, IBM presently
offers 2GB and 4GB SSA hard disk drives, with more devices to follow from IBM.
Other vendors, including Conner and Micropolis, also sell SSA products.

Q. What operating systems are supported by IBM's SSA adapters?
A. Device drivers for OS/2 and NetWare are available immediately, with drivers
planned for IBM AIX, SCO Unix, and Windows NT.

Q. Where can I find out more about SSA?
A. Information about SSA can be obtained by contacting the SSA Industry
Association (408-256-5656; 408-256-0595, fax).

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.2.4. Other Options and Adapters Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Q. Is there anywhere I can go for online technical support?
A. Yes.  If you have a CompuServe account, use GO IBMOBI to access the IBM
support forum there.

Q. I have an IBM DualStor tape drive with the IBM DualStor Tape Backup Program
for DOS/Windows.  Can I use the DualStor software in a Windows 3.x or OS/2 DOS
session?
A. No.  The DOS version must be run in a plain DOS session (Windows must be
exited first).  In an OS/2 DOS session the program will not backup files'
Extended Attributes and will truncate HPFS long filenames, causing problems
when you restore.  For correct operation with OS/2 you need to upgrade to the
OS/2 version of DualStor.

Q. I have an IBM DualStor tape drive with the IBM DualStor Tape Backup Program
for DOS/Windows.  Is the DualStor software compatible with Windows 95?
A. Not completely.  If you use long filenames they will be truncated, causing
problems when you restore.

Q. Can the IBM DualStor Tape Backup Program be used on a LAN?
A. Yes.  The DOS/Windows version supports IBM PCLP 1.34, NetWare 3.1x,
LANtastic 5.0/6.0, Windows for Workgroups 3.1x, and other NetBIOS-compatible
networks.  The OS/2 version supports IBM LAN Server 3.0/4.0, NetWare 3.1x,
LANtastic for OS/2 1.0, and other NetBIOS-compatible networks.

Q. Does the IBM DualStor Tape Backup Program have any limitations or
considerations when used on a LAN?
A. Yes.  When using IBM PCLP 1.34 the DOS/Windows version should be run on a
redirector, where it can backup any servers that are available to the
redirector.  When run on a peer-to-peer network or non-dedicated file server,
the tape drive and software may be on any workstation or server; but if it is
installed on a dedicated file server, the tape drive and software must be
installed on a workstation.  The software must be run from the same workstation
that contains the tape drive (but may backup data from other systems).  The
OS/2 version of DualStor will multitask with other OS/2 programs, however some
files may be locked by other applications when DualStor tries to back them up.
In this situation they will not be backed up.  Also, the OS/2 version doesn't
support TCP/IP network access (only NetBIOS).

Q. Is the IBM DualStor Tape Backup Program for OS/2 CID-enabled?
A. No, however if you have multiple licenses of the software, you may install
DualStor from a network server on to any supported computer with access to the
server by copying the files from the DualStor Program Diskette to the server
and running the Setup program.

Q. If I run a bridge over lines using V.35 protocol with an ARTIC card, do I
need both the ARTIC V.35 cable and a modem cable?
A. No; just the V.35 cable (P/N 53F2648) from the ARTIC card to the modem.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.3.1. IBM 4019 LaserPrinter Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Q. What are the duty cycles of the 4019 and 4019E printers?
A. The 4019/4019E printers are rated at 12,000 and 20,000 pages per month,
respectively.

Q. What is the expected life of the print (toner) cartridge?
A. The average life expectancy of the print unit is 10,000 pages, based on 2.8%
coverage of the page (typical of a business letter).

Q. Manually switching the IBM 4019 Laser Printer between PostScript, HP, ASCII
and Plotter modes via the control panel is awkward.  Is there an Automatic
Emulation Switching (AES) program available for the 4019, as there is for the
IBM 4216?
A. IBM recently announced an enhanced PostScript hardware option for the 4019
(P/N 1424017, replacing 1058237) that includes a hardware implementation of AES
with software drivers.  This is the basic 17-font PS option.  The additional PS
22-font card (1038100) remains the same.  (The new 39-font Premium package,
1424039, includes both the basic PS AES option with AES, and the 22-font card.)
While there is a separate AES software product called the 4019 Supplemental
Utilities (P/N 1424000), it requires a PostScript to work.  It is only offered
as a separate option as a replacement copy, if needed.

Q. Is the 4019 Laser Printer Sharing Option (P/N 1038958) an intelligent
device?
A. No. There is no built-in microprocessor or memory.  The Sharing Option uses
a spooler program running in the memory of the attached computers to
temporarily store print jobs if the printer is not ready for them.  This allows
the user to continue working without having to wait for the printer to become
available for their print job.

Q. What cables are needed to set up the Printer Sharing Option?
A. A standard parallel printer cable (P/N 1525612) is used to connect the 4019
to the Sharing Option.  The Sharing Option is connected to the system units by
serial cables. Two sizes are available, 20 ft. (8509386) and 50 ft. (1038693).
For customers with standard serial cables, a special connector (1319143) may be
used to convert it to the correct type.

Q. Can a 4019 LaserPrinter be used serially?
A. Yes.  To attach serially, use the special 25-pin D-Shell to 34-pin
Centronics interface conversion cable, P/N 6486685. No other hardware is
needed.

Q. If a program doesn't offer a specific 4019 driver, what others can I use?
A. In PostScript mode, use the Generic PS (PSCRIPT.DRV) driver.  In ASCII
(PPDS) emulation mode, use either the IBM Quietwriter III (5202) driver, or an
IBM Proprinter (42xx) driver. In HP mode, use the HP LaserJet II driver.  In
plotter mode, use an IBM 7372, or an HP 7475A driver.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.3.2. IBM 4029 LaserPrinter Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Q. What models of the IBM 4029 LaserPrinter were recently announced, and are
any upgradeable?
A. Four models were announced: The Model 5E (5ppm), P/N 4029010; the Model 6
(6ppm), 4029020; the Model 10 (10ppm), 4029030; and the Model 10L (10ppm, 700
sheet input, 250 sheet output), 4029040.  The Model 6 is upgradeable to the
Model 10.

Q. What is the maximum resolution of the 4029 LaserPrinter?
A. Out-of-the-box the maximum resolution is 300x300 dpi; however if the
PostScript option and at least another 4MB of printer memory is installed in
the Models 6, 10, and 10L, the printers are capable of 600x600 resolution
PostScript printing. The Model 5E is limited to 300 dpi, even with the PS
option and the extra memory.

Q. What is the standard and maximum memory in the 4029 LaserPrinter?
A. All 4029 models come with 1MB standard, and support up to 9MB total, using
two special memory SIMM sockets.  1MB, 2MB, and 4MB SIMMs are available for
upgrading beyond the first 1MB.

Q. What emulation modes are standard and optional in the 4029 LaserPrinter?
A. All 4029 models include IBM Personal Printer Data Stream (PPDS, or ASCII),
HP LaserJet Series II (PCL4), and HP Plotter (HPGL) emulation modes, standard.
In addition, HP LaserJet Series III (PCL5) and PostScript options can be added.

Q. Can both the PCL5 and the PS options be added to a 4029 LaserPrinter?
A. The Models 6, 10 and 10L have two option connectors, allowing both options
to be attached concurrently, and providing all five printer modes at all times
(ASCII, HPGL, PCL4, PCL5, and PS).  They are complementary, not mutually
exclusive.  The Model 5E, because it only has one option connector, can only
hold either the PCL5 or PS option, but not both.  This still provides four
printer modes in a low-cost, high-quality laser printer.

Q. What is the 4029 "100 Sheet Auxilliary Feeder" and why would I use it?
A. The Auxilliary feeder is attached in place of the envelope feeder, and
provides a second or third input paper source (in addition to the standard 200
sheet drawer and optional 500 sheet drawer). It can be freely interchanged with
the envelope feeder, but cannot be used concurrently.

Q. Why do the 1MB and 2MB memory kits for the 4029 have different part numbers
and prices than the kits for the 4019 printer models?
A. While the 4019 printers use special memory daughtercards, the 4029 models
use SIMMs.  This makes installation simpler, leaves room for two upgrades (as
opposed to one, in the 4019s), and costs less for the equivalent amount of
memory.

Q. Can I use standard DRAM SIMMs in the 4029?
A. The SIMMs used in the 4029 are NOT standard SIMMs, but were designed
especially for the 4029.  Standard SIMMs will not work.

Q. Can a 4029 LaserPrinter be used serially?
A. Yes.  To attach serially, use the special 25-pin D-Shell to 34-pin
Centronics interface conversion cable, P/N 6486685. No other hardware is
needed.

Q. If a program doesn't offer a specific 4029 driver, what others can I use?
A. If available, in PostScript mode, use an IBM 4019 LaserPrinter driver.  In
ASCII (PPDS) emulation mode, use either the IBM 4019, the IBM Quietwriter III
(5202), or an IBM Proprinter (42xx) driver, in order of preference. In HP mode,
use the HP LaserJet III driver.  In plotter mode, use an IBM 7372, or an HP
7475A driver.

Q. Is there an OS/2 1.3 driver for the IBM 4029 LaserPrinter?
A. Yes, but the system must be at CSD level 5050 or higher (V1.30.2).  Make
sure that you have the PSCRIPT.DRV driver installed before applying the 5050
CSD; this will make sure the new PostScript driver, which includes the 4029
drivers) is installed.  Installing the shrinkwrapped 1.30.2 package will have
the same effect; just make sure to install the PSCRIPT.DRV driver.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.1. Explanation of Expanded vs. Extended Memory ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The following attempts to explain, in layman's terms, the differences between
Expanded and Extended memory, and the advantages and disadvantages of each
type.

When discussing the difference between Expanded and Extended memory, it is
important to know why both types of memory came about.

When IBM announced the IBM PC in 1981 it revolutionized the industry.  Until
then, most personal computers had a maximum memory capacity of 64K, due to the
microprocessor chips used.  A few systems offered 128K through a technique
called bank switching.  This involved swapping the contents of one 64K bank of
chips out of working memory for a moment, and swapping the other bank in.  In
this manner, the computer could actually access twice as much memory as it was
capable of using at any one time.  Although relatively slow and inefficient, it
was workable and a way of getting around the architectural limit of 64K of
addressable memory.

With the advent of the IBM PC the user had access to 10 TIMES as much as memory
before.  This was the result of using the Intel 8088 chip, which could access
1024K (1MB) of memory addresses.  Of this 1024K, 384K was reserved for hardware
addresses, leaving 640K available for memory addresses.  This 640K area was
referred to as Real memory. Although in historical perspective 640K has turned
out to be a tremendous limitation to many users, it was a huge amount of memory
back in 1981.  Remember, in those days, it was common for commercial programs
to be able to run in only 48K or less of available memory (whatever was left by
the operating system of the initial 64K).

As the PC (and later the PC/XT) became more popular, programs began to expand
in scope and size.  By the time the PC/AT debuted, in 1984, a few programs
(notably Lotus 1-2-3) were beginning to approach the 640K "barrier."  One of
the innovations brought to the PC world by the 80286 chip used in the AT was
the Extended mode, which allowed access to 16MB of memory all at once.  This
offered tremendous potential for those users running up against the 640K DOS
limitation.  In addition, by using this Extended memory in Protected mode,
multiple programs could be run in this memory, each protected from one another
by (in effect) temporary memory partitions.

However there were two problems with using Extended Memory:  1) The
architecture of the 286 allowed for transition from Real mode to Protected
mode, but not vice versa.  This meant that once an application used Extended
memory, it was stuck there until the system was rebooted; and 2) When the AT
first shipped no one knew that it (and the 80286 chip in general) would be as
wildly successful as it was.  So looking at the problem, in 1984, of how to
access more than 640K, software developers tended to think, "Yes, the 286 chip
allows us to do that, but less than 1% of all users have 286 systems.  So if we
develop software to use Extended memory we lock ourselves out of 99% of the
market, and we still don't solve the memory limitation problem for most users."

This concern simmered for a while longer, until finally Lotus Development
Corporation (the maker of Lotus 1-2-3, the program most apt to run into the
640K limit at that time), Intel Corporation (the maker of the 808x and 80x86
chips), and Microsoft Corporation (the maker of the DOS operating system) got
together to propose a specification for another sort of memory: Expanded.  This
specification, which came to be known as LIM EMS (Lotus-Intel-Microsoft
Expanded Memory Specification--also referred to as LIM Spec or EMS memory)
V1.0, described how to manufacture a memory board conforming to a specific set
of rules, as well as the operating system device drivers that would let DOS
applications recognize and use that memory.  Amazingly enough, the LIM EMS spec
was for bank-switched memory, similar in concept to that used before the PC
existed!

The way it works is relatively simple.  Some of the 384K of memory that is
reserved for hardware addresses is generally unused.  EMS memory uses 64K of
that memory area as a "door" to the Expanded memory board.  Portions of the
Expanded memory are swapped into that 64K space (well, actually just the memory
addresses are swapped, not the data, but the concept is the same) long enough
to be used by DOS, then swapped out to be replaced by another section of
Expanded memory.  Early versions of the EMS spec required the 64K of memory to
be in a contiguous (that is, connected) block.  This was often difficult to
find in a system with many adapters, some of which use small sections of memory
in the same area between 640K and 1MB.  Beginning with LIM EMS V4.0 memory can
be allocated among four 16K pages, which need not be contiguous.

Whereas Extended memory is addressed ABOVE 1MB, Expanded memory is essentially
located "beside" Real memory.  The details are more complicated than that, but
this should be sufficient for a basic conceptual understanding.  A simple
diagram (not to scale), below, contrasts the two methods:

You might think of Expanded memory as a juggler with a number of balls in the
air at the same time, only one of which is in his hand at any time.  All the
balls are available to the juggler, and all eventually get handled in turn.  By
comparison, to take this analogy further, Extended memory would be like a box
with the balls in it: all available at the same time, rather than one at a
time.

The original EMS specification was limited to only 2MB, but later versions
increased the capacity. The current version, 4.0, supports up to 32MB of RAM.
It is still bank-switched memory, which makes it inherently less efficient, and
thus slower, than directly-accessible memory (such as Real Memory and Extended
memory).  The big advantage of Expanded memory, of course, is that it will run
on almost any PC or PS/2, from an 8088 to an 80386.  Extended memory requires
an 80286 or above.  Although the 286 architectural limitation is 16MB, the 386
can address up to 4 Gigabytes(thousand Megabytes) of physical memory, so the
potential memory capacity is far larger for Extended memory than for Expanded
memory.

For these (mostly marketing) reasons Expanded memory became the dominant method
of increasing memory beyond 640K, and remains so today.  However this is
rapidly changing.  With the existence of OS/2, a single-user, multitasking
operating system; and Unix (including Xenix and AIX), a multiuser, multitasking
operating system; and even 386 protected mode DOS extenders; we now have
operating systems capable of utilizing the protected mode of the 286/386/486
chips, and all of the Extended memory they provide.  Because these operating
systems can (through software resets) jump back and forth between Real and
Protected mode on the 286, the "one-way access" limitation mentioned earlier no
longer exists (the 386 and 486 chips have never had the same limitation as the
286).  And because these operating systems use the memory scheme architected
into the microprocessors, they have no need for EMS memory.

Another reason why the days of Expanded memory may be numbered lies in the very
way it works.  To access Expanded memory, 64K of the area between 384K and 1MB
must be left unused by hardware addresses, and thus available for use as a
"door."  Until recently, this was not a problem.  Of this 384K, 128K is
reserved for video memory (in systems with EGA or VGA controllers), and another
128K for ROM BIOS.  This leaves only 128K left for everything else.  Among this
"everything else" are ESDI, Token Ring, 3270 Emulation, and 8514/A Adapters;
three of which can leave you with less than 64K available for EMS memory.  This
means that either you can't use Expanded memory, or you have to remove one or
more adapters from the system; something most users would be reluctant to do.
Extended memory has no such conflicts, situated as it is above the 1MB
boundary.

As far as the memory boards themselves are concerned, there is not much to
worry about.  Although the older 286 memory boards were designed for either EMS
memory or Extended memory (but not both), most newer boards (such as the PS/2
0-8MB Expanded Memory Adapter/A, and 2-8MB 80286 Memory Expansion Option/A)
contain logic chips which allow the board to be used interchangeably as either
type of memory. This protects the customer's hardware investment in the event
they convert from DOS-and-Expanded-memory to OS/2-and-Extended-memory (or
Windows-and-Extended-memory or Unix-and-Extended-memory).  Boards designed for
use in 386 systems can be used interchangeably as Expanded or Extended memory
as well.  The 80386 and 80486 chips are "intelligent" enough to access a memory
board either way, depending on the operating system and device drivers used.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.2.1. An Introduction to SCSI Devices - Tip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

SCSI, pronounced "scuzzy," stands for Small Computer System Interface.  SCSI-1
standards are defined by ANSI X3.131.1986.  The newer SCSI-2 specifications are
defined by ANSI X3T9.2/375R revision 10K, 1993.

The SCSI standards define common command sets that are programmed into ROM
(Read-Only Memory) on the adapters and is accessed via system BIOS as normal
hard disk commands.  Besides hard disk and CD ROM drives, there are many other
SCSI devices available, including tape and rewritable optical drives, printers,
scanners, and other devices.

The SCSI architecture allows 8 devices per SCSI bus.  The controller itself is
a device so seven additional physical devices can be attached.  Each physical
device can have 7 logical devices attached to it as well.  In theory, 64
addressable devices can be attached to a single SCSI controller.  In practice,
the total is usually closer to 7.  But the SCSI specifications allow multiple
SCSI adapters to co-reside in a system.  IBM Micro Channel systems support up
to 4 SCSI controllers (and they can be a mixture of different SCSI-1 and SCSI-2
controllers).  IBM's ISA (AT bus) PCs support 2 SCSI controllers.

This sounds complex, so let us simplify.  One intelligent SCSI adapter is
installed into a system.  To this adapter we can attach a SCSI device such as a
hard disk, printer or other device.  It occupies a physical address as defined
by switches or jumpers on the device.  It can be addressed as device "0",
having the lowest priority, or as device "6", having the highest priority or
anywhere in between.  Slow devices usually are set for a low priority and
faster devices are set for higher priorities.  The controller is fixed at
address "7" and cannot be altered.  If we were to add an intelligent device,
one that functions as a "sub" controller, this intelligent device, or more
correctly, this controller can have additional devices attached to it.  These
devices would have logical addresses rather than physical addresses.  These
addresses are referred to as PUA's (Physical Unit Addresses) or LUA's, (Logical
unit addresses).

SCSI devices have a data transfer rate measured in Kilobytes per Second (KBps)
for slow devices such as CD-ROM and most tape drives, or Megabytes per second
(MBps) for hard disk drives, between the system and the controller, and a
different data transfer rate between the controller and the device.  For
example, the IBM SCSI Adapter with Cache (and its motherboard equivalent) that
is standard in many PS/2 models has a data transfer rate of 16.6 MBps between
the system and the controller; the transfer rate between the controller and the
device is up to 5MBps (for fast devices like hard drives).  5MBps is a
limitation of the 8-bit SCSI-1 architecture.  SCSI-2 allows for 10MBps (8-bit
Fast, or 16-bit Wide SCSI-2 devices), 20MBps (16-bit Fast/Wide, or 32-bit
Double-Wide SCSI-2 devices), or 40MBps (32-bit Fast/Double-Wide SCSI-2 devices)
data transfers between the controller and SCSI-2 devices designed to operate
with those adapters.  (Different SCSI-2 adapters support different aspects of
SCSI-2; for example FAST SCSI-2 adapters do not support Wide SCSI-2
devices--you would need a Fast/Wide SCSI-2 adapter to support Fast, Wide, and
Fast/Wide devices.)  SCSI-2 will also support SCSI-1 devices, although at the
slower SCSI-1 speeds, on the same controller with SCSI-2 devices. Most SCSI
adapters support both internally and externally-attached SCSI devices
concurrently.

Various attachment cables and expansion units are also available.  An external
"option to option" cable is available for device to device attachment.  It uses
the standard 50 pin SCSI connector.  A "card to option" cable is also available
to convert the 60-pin connector used on IBM Micro Channel adapters to the 50
pin SCSI standard connector on the first external device.  The large 50 pin
connector is too big to mount on a Micro Channel adapter so a more compact
60-pin connector was used.  The AT-bus adapters have the standard 50-pin
connector.

If there isn't sufficient expansion capacity within the computer, external SCSI
expansion cabinets may be added, using the Card to Option cable.  For example,
an IBM 3510 cabinet provides one half-height bay and a 32-watt power supply.
The 3511 (which is essentially a PS/2 Model 95 without the motherboard) offers
8 drive bays, both 3.5" and 5.25" and a 400-watt power supply.  IBM 3514 disk
array subsystem provides additional function, using RAID 5 and other
fault-tolerance features, appearing to the operating system as one large disk
drive.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.2.2. Terminating the IBM SCSI-1 Adapters - Tip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Just as ST-506 and ESDI adapters need a terminating resistor (T-RES) on the
last drive, so the SCSI adapters must be told where to find the "end of the
line."

16-Bit SCSI Adapter
The 16-bit PS/2 SCSI Adapter includes a T-RES terminator chip on the adapter.
This chip must remain in the following instances:

1) If no physical devices (also called PUNs, for Physical Unit Numbers) are
connected to the adapter, because it is not currently being used.

2) If the PUNs are all internally attached, or all externally attached.

The T-RES chip must be removed if internal and external PUNs are attached.  In
this case inline terminators (which come with the option cables) are used
between the last internal and external PUNs and the cables connecting them to
the next-to-last PUNs (or the adapter, if the PUN is the only internal or
external device on the chain).

For example, to connect two internal and three external PUNs, the internal
devices would be daisy-chained from the internal 50-pin edge-connector, while
the external devices would daisy-chain from the 60-pin D-shell connector on the
back of the card, as follows.  (Note the terminators.)

If either the internal devices OR the external devices are all removed the
T-RES chip would be needed on the adapter.  All the terminators needed are
included with the various components; however, should the T-RES chip be removed
(and lost), but be needed at a later date, a replacement may be ordered as a
service part (FRU number 57F2870).

32-bit SCSI Adapter with Cache
The original 32-bit PS/2 SCSI Adapter with Cache is different in the respect
that it does NOT come with an onboard T-RES chip.  There is a separate external
terminator (P/N 6451039; F/C 1039) which must be used if no external devices
are attached.  Later shipments of the PS/2 SCSI Adapter with Cache were
redesigned to be similar to the PS/2 SCSI Adapter in that it too has an onboard
terminator, eliminating the need for an external one.  The new adapter can be
easily identified by the bright orange terminator on the adapter.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.2.3. Current Draw for IBM SCSI Devices ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

SCSI-equipped PC systems have limitations to the amount of +5V and +12V current
available from the power supplies.  These limits differ from system to system.
The Tables below list both the current limits by system type, but also the
amount of current drawn by various IBM SCSI devices.  By totaling up the
current draw for all devices used, and planned to be added, you can determine
whether your PS/2 can handle the total power draw.  (While the diskette drives
listed below are not SCSI, they must be included in the total current draw
calculations.)

Note 1:  If the total amount of nominal operating voltage for either the 5V or
12V line required exceeds the available current available from the power supply
you run the risk of the system shutting down.

Note 2:  SCSI devices installed in external storage cabinets (like the IBM 3510
and 3511), and external self-powered drives (such as the 3440/3445/3450 tape
drives) do not draw power from the system power supply, and therefore need not
be included in the total.  However, The 3511 itself has a power supply as the
PS/2 Model 95, and therefore has limitations as well.

Note 3:  Not all devices listed below can be used in all PS/2 systems.  Refer
to the system and device announcement letters for compatibility information.
the 3511 expansion unit itself, which contains 7 SCSI drive bays, has the same
power limitations as the PS/2 Model 95.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.2.4. Monitor Screen-Saving Tips - Tip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The following are some tips to help you prevent "ghost" images from being
burned into your computer monitor, save money, and do your part to conserve
energy all at once.

Burn-in results from the same image appearing in the same place on the screen
hour after hour, day after day.  If you turn off your display when not needed
(say, when your system is "number-crunching" in the background, and nothing
much will be happening on-screen for quite a while; or while you are out to
lunch; or overnight, if you leave your computer running), or use a
"screen-blanking" program, you will have gone a long way toward preventing
burn-in.  Also, while you are actively using the monitor, turn the brightness
down to the lowest comfortable level.  Many displays allow you to "over drive"
the monitor by turning the brightness up too high.  This not only promotes
burn-in, but also tends to cause the image to become blurrier and harder to see
over the course of several years, thus shortening the monitor's effective life.

Turning off the monitor when not needed also provides a tangible financial
benefit.  Two, in fact:

   1. If, for example, you typically leave the computer (including the display)
      on 24 hours a day, every day, you are using more than four times as much
      electricity as if it is only turned on 5 days a week, for 8 hours a day.
      Less usage would mean a smaller cost difference, but you get the idea.
   2. Using the same scenario, each monitor has a finite life expectancy, as we
      all do.  By leaving it on every hour of every day, it will wear out more
      than four times sooner than if only turned on 40 hours a week (a week has
      168 hours, after all); which means buying a new display that much sooner.

 Some people justify leaving the monitor on all the time with the argument that
 the "sudden power surges generated by turning the display on cause such
 stresses that it will fail sooner than if you leave it on all the time."  That
 may have been true once upon a time, but any good computer or monitor nowadays
 has built-in internal surge suppression adequate to keep this from happening
 (this is a separate issue from suppression of external sources, such as
 lightning).  There is simply no good reason to leave the display on when it is
 not being viewed.

 For those times during the day when you may be absent for various periods of
 time, and turning off the monitor would be a nuisance, a screen-saver program
 is useful.  What this does, after a set amount of time, or at the user's
 command, is replace the text and images normally on your screen with either a
 static image (something without a lot of bright spots, and straight lines,
 preferably) or a set of moving pictures (a dynamic screen saver).  This
 prevents burn in by varying the image on your screen from what is usually
 there.  (Newer monitors, PCs and screen-savers also have power management
 support, which puts the monitor into various levels of "sleep" mode after a
 specified time, to save power and extend the life of the display.)

 OS/2 1.30.1 and later include a combination keyboard-password and static
 screen saver program called Lockup, that allows you to display any OS/2 bitmap
 image (several are supplied, but others can be added), and can be started
 either manually, or by timer.  In addition, 2.x also included a dynamic screen
 saver as part of the Cat and Mouse program (which can only be started
 manually--no timer). (OS/2 2.1/3.x "full-pack" users also get the built-in
 Windows 3.1 screen saver program.)  DOS and Windows 3.0 users don't get a
 built-in screen saver (Windows 3.1 users do), but there are several commercial
 packages available, including (among others):

     After Dark (Berkeley Systems)
     Idle Wild (part of Microsoft Windows 3.0 Entertainment Pack)
     Intermission (ICOM Systems)
     Pyro (Fifth Generation Systems)

 Those looking for something a bit fancier for OS/2 might check out the
 following:

     Bitmap Screen Saver for OS/2 (Stephen Hapke Productions)
     OS/2 Essentials (Stardock Systems)
     Window Washer for OS/2 (One Up)
     WipeOut for OS/2 (BocaSoft)

 or endorsement by IBM, nor is it intended to represent a complete list.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.2.5. Understanding XGA-1 - Tip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

(From The IBM Advisor, the technical newsletter for IBM dealers; 3Q 1991)

What is XGA and how do I use it?  This is a very common question at the
HelpCenter.  Since XGA emerged, there has been much confusion about its
installation and functionality.  Hopefully, this Tip will clear the air on XGA
installation, and on the technology behind XGA as well.

XGA-1 vs. 8514/A
First, I want to stress the differences between the XGA-1 card and the 8514/A
Display Adapter.  The 8514/A card simply provides a high resolution of 1024 X
768 with 16 or 256 colors in this mode, depending on the amount of memory
installed on the card. This card works on any Micro Channel system unit that
has an adapter slot with the video extension connector.  The 8514/A card only
functions in that slot because it only has a high resolution processor and not
a VGA compatible processor.  When the system is running applications in VGA
mode (or lesser resolutions) the 8514/A card simply passes the VGA information
from the motherboard VGA controller through the Auxilliary Video Extension
(AVE).  When applications require high resolution, a TSR program called HDILOAD
(provided with the adapter) installs the 8514/A Adapter Interface (AI) code.
The 8514/A AI is basically a gateway to the 8514/A adapter.  Since IBM never
published the hardware register information for the 8514/A, all applications
had to write to the AI, which in turn writes directly to the hardware on the
card.  The 8514/A can not function unless it has a video system to supply VGA
mode (and lower) video signals.

So much for the review of 8514/A.  Now lets get into XGA.  The XGA card is an
entire graphics subsystem that provides a maximum resolution of 1024 x 768 as
well as all VGA modes. It does not have to rely on a video subsystem on the
motherboard of the machine where it is installed.  The XGA card is also a Bus
Master, which means it can do its own processing and memory accesses without
having to use the main system processor, providing faster video processing and
freeing up the main processor for other tasks.  The XGA card has a 32-bit Micro
Channel connector; but can be placed in a 16-bit slot; however there is a
performance penalty if the card is used in a 16-bit slot.  Another vast
difference in the XGA card is that it only functions in 386SX or higher
systems.  This is because the drivers and the card itself have been optimized
to work with the 386 32-bit instruction set, also increasing the performance of
the card.  The XGA card comes standard with 512KB of VRAM which provides a
maximum resolution of 1024 x 768 with 16 colors.  If the memory is upgraded to
a full 1MB the maximum increases to 1024 x 768 with 256 colors.

Installing XGA
Installation of the XGA card is much like the installation of any other Micro
Channel adapter.  First, simply place the card in a Micro Channel expansion
slot.  A 32-bit slot is preferred, due to the speed advantage mentioned
earlier.  There is however one slot the XGA card will not fit, and that is the
slot with the AVE.  The XGA card does have an extension that looks much like
the 8514/A extension; however, upon closer inspection you will see the
extension on this card is positioned differently.  The positioning of the XGA
extension tab will prevent it from being inserted into the slot with the
auxilliary video extension.  What is the extension for on the XGA card, you
ask?  Currently only one PS/2 has an expansion slot that will accommodate the
extension on the XGA card.  That system is the PS/2 Model 95.  Why?

First, lets review the purpose of the 8514/A video extension.  Remember that
the extension of the 8514/A card allows the applications that run in VGA mode
to viewed on the screen.  The 8514/A card is simply pulling the VGA signals
from the motherboard through that video extension and out the display port on
the back of the adapter card.  Now, as you recall, the XGA card has its own
video processor that can handle VGA and high resolution modes.  The Model 95 is
the only PS/2 that does not have a video subsystem integrated onto its
motherboard, but instead is shipped with an XGA adapter already installed.

Suppose you wanted to place an adapter in the Model 95 that required VGA
signals from the main video subsystem.  This could be the IBM PS/2 Image
Adapter/A or possibly the IBM PS/2 M-Motion Adapter/A (the 8514/A card is not
supported in the Model 95).  For an adapter of this type to function in the AVE
slot the XGA card must be plugged into the one slot that can accommodate its
Base Video Extension (BVE).  The reasoning behind this is the BVE takes VGA
signals from the XGA card and routes them directly to the Auxilliary Video
Extension that the M-Motion or Image Adapter is using.  Once the card is
configured and a display attached, nothing more needs to be done to get normal
operation from the XGA card; normal operation being VGA modes only.

The XGA card only occupies 8KB of memory between 640KB and 1MB.  Since the XGA
card is a Bus Master, it can occupy any 8KB in the "C" or "D" range.  To see
which part of memory is being used by the XGA card, choose the menu option
"Display Memory Map" from the Reference Diskette.  Another great feature of the
XGA card is that you can have up to six XGA cards installed in one machine
(five if the system has XGA already on the motherboard, like the Model 90).  To
take advantage of multiple adapters, software must be specifically written to
do so.  If you have an XGA card in a system that has VGA on the system board
and a display attached just to the XGA card, the XGA card will function in VGA
and high resolution modes.  Now, if you have the same setup as before but a
display is attached to the motherboard VGA port and another to the XGA card,
all VGA (and lower modes) will be displayed on the display attached to the
motherboard port.  The XGA card will only be used when high resolution is
required.  You will not get an echo of a VGA image onto the display attached to
the XGA port as you would using the 8514/A.

Once the card is installed, the appropriate device driver must be installed
before the high resolution can be accessed. There are two device driver
diskettes that come with the XGA card.  The first diskette contains all of the
device drivers for DOS, Microsoft Windows 3.0, Microsoft Windows 286 2.1, and
AutoCAD Release 10.  The second diskette contains support for OS/2 1.2 (OS/2
1.3 ships with an XGA driver).  The latest driver diskette is version 1.10.2,
which is currently available for downloading from the TA Bulletin Board System.

Installing device drivers for the XGA card is a subject all to itself; so I
will save that information for a later column. Hopefully this has increased
your understanding of the XGA card.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.2.6. XGA-2/IBM Monitor Compatibility - Tip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The following are examples of the resolutions that are available with the XGA-2
Display Adapter/A when running XGA applications or device drivers that exploit
DMQS, cross-referenced with the resolutions supported by IBM monitors.  The
XGA-2 Display Adapter/A is limited only by a maximum PEL clock rate of 90MHz.
Many other IBM and non-IBM SVGA monitors will work with the XGA-2 adapter, in
all mutually compatible resolution/color/frequency modes.

The software supplied with the XGA-2 Display Adapter/A automatically exploits
IBM 85XX and 95XX monitors at the best resolution and refresh rate possible for
the monitor attached.

Supported resolutions detailed above that are not available on IBM displays,
are available with some non-IBM (OEM) displays.  These displays range in
capability from low cost/low function to high cost/high function.  Most
displays respond as an IBM 8514 display when queried by the software supplied
with the XGA-2 subsystem.  As a result, IBM 8514 resolutions and refresh rates
are used as default.

The software supplied with the IBM XGA-2 Display Adapter/A, allows the user to
override the default screen resolution.  Overriding with a resolution which
does not meet (or exceeds) the capability of the attached display, can yield
unpredictable results.

Warning: Some multifrequency displays may appear to function correctly, however
damage may occur over time.

Note:  The user must only select resolutions that are suitable for the display
attached to the XGA-2 Display Adapter/A.

Note:  The use of the resolution override should be avoided if the display
attached to the XGA-2 Display Adapter/A is to be changed frequently with
displays of varying characteristics.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.2.7. Comparison of IBM/Intel Processors - Tip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

There is considerable confusion over the similarities and differences between
the various "flavors" of the 386 and 486 microprocessors used in IBM and other
vendors' systems, as well as between IBM's PowerPC and Intel's Pentium chips.
The following is an attempt to compare and contrast the salient features of
each in tabular form.

offer different standard and optional features, the following is a side-by-side
comparison of the IBM WindSurfer (WS), Audiovation (AV), and V.32bis DSP
Fax/Modem (VDF) adapters for ISA and Micro Channel PCs:

 Feature/Option                                                 WS  / AV / VDF
  ISA version available                                        Yes / Yes / Yes
  Micro Channel version available                              Yes / Yes / No

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.2.9. IBM WindSurfer/Audiovation Adapter SoundBlaster Software Compatibility List ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The following is a list of DOS software tested for SoundBlaster software
compatibility using the IBM WindSurfer Adapter.  As the Audiovation adapter
uses the same Mwave Digital Signal Processor (DSP), chip, these results should
apply equally to both adapters.  In the list below, software is described as
completely compatible, compatible with limitations, or incompatible.  Notes on
the right of the table describe the incompatibilities or limitations.  These
results apply only to certain versions of the programs.  Earlier or later
versions may not exhibit the same problems.

Note:  Most of the tested programs below are games, partly because game
programs that use sound cards are more prevalent than other software genres,
and partly because games are some of the most ill-behaved and temperamental
programs around.  If the WindSurfer and Audiovation adapters work with the
majority of DOS games, they should work with an even higher percentage of DOS
business programs.  In addition, these adapters should work with virtually all
Windows and OS/2 programs (once the OS/2 MMPM/2 drivers ship), because they use
the standard multimedia interfaces included with those operating environments.

DOS game performance on Mwave has been evaluated by several people, both inside
and outside of IBM.  They did not all use the same system to record their
results.  Condensed and greatly simplified, their assessments are as follows:

Play Quality - A "1" indicates that the game can be played at normal speed with
few, if any noticeable jerks in the action.  In a few cases, (e.g. F-15)
something less than the highest available video resolution must be selected.
Most assessments were made on a 486/25MHz machine.  In general, if a game
states that it requires a 286 or 386 machine for performance reasons, a 386 or
486 machine will be required for emulation. A "2" usually indicates that play
is slow or irregular at times.  See the notes next to each game for a
description of the problem.

Sound Quality - Again, a "1" indicates that sound quality has been assessed to
be good.  A "2" generally indicates a problem with PCM functions (e.g. the game
requests ADPCM, which is currently not supported).  A "3" indicates a problem
with music synthesis/voice synthesis.  See the notes for details.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.3.1. Setting up an IBM 4019 Laser Printer as a Serial Printer - Tip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Setting up an IBM 4019 for serial use
The following directions explain how to set up the IBM 4019 LaserPrinter, and
4019 LaserPrinter E, for serial use:

   1. Turn off the computer and the 4019 LaserPrinter.
   2. Make sure the serial cable is attached to both the computer and the
      LaserPrinter.
   3. To get the printer into configuration mode, press the FONT and
      ORIENTATION buttons and turn the printer on, holding the FONT and
      ORIENTATION buttons until any operator panel lights come on.
   4. A "6" should be displayed, and all lights should go off except for the
      READY and DOWNLOAD lights.
   5. Using the 4019 Guide to Operations, page 10-7, set up the configuration
      as follows:
           Handshake Protocol - Serial DTR  (selection 1)
           Data Rate - 9600 or 19200 (selection 4 or 5)
           Data Bits-Per-Frame - 8 bits (selection 2 - Default)
           Parity - None (selection 3-Default)
   6. To save the configuration, press and release the CODE and ORIENTATION
      buttons simultaneously.
   7. To exit the printer configuration function, press and hold the CODE
      button while you press and release the RESET button.

 Setting 4019 Print Modes
 The 4019 is capable of operating in three data stream modes:

      IBM PPDS mode (ASCII mode)
      HP emulation mode (to emulate the LaserJet II series)
      IBM and HP plotter emulation mode.

 To check the active mode, make sure the READY light is on, then press the
 ORIENTATION button to display the number (one of those referenced above).  To
 change the mode, use one of the following:

     To put the printer into IBM PPDS mode, press and hold the PAPER button as
      the printer is powered on.
     To put the printer into HP emulation mode, press and hold the FONT button
      as the printer is powered on.
     To put the printer into Plotter mode, press and hold the ORIENTATION
      button as the printer is powered on.
     Release the button that has been pressed and held when any operator panel
      lights come on.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.3.2. Setting up an IBM 4216 Personal Pageprinter II as an HP LaserJet Plus - Tip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The following steps explain how to configure an IBM 4216 Personal Pageprinter
for HP LaserJet Plus emulation mode:

   1. Power off the 4216.
   2. Set the DIP switches on the 4216 as follows:
        a. Set switches 1 and 2 to UP. (This will set up the printer for
           parallel printing mode).
        b. Set switch 3 to up and switch 4 to down. (This will set up the
           printer for HP LaserJet Plus emulation).
   3. Power on the 4216.
   4. The Personal Pageprinter will output a setup sheet. Ensure that the
      Interface is set for: "LaserJet Plus, PC Parallel."

(10) - In composite benchmarks, which test a combination of floating-point and
integer operations (an averaging of Norton, Landmark, Power Meter, Whetstone
and 16/32-bit Dhrystone benchmarks), the following results were tabulated:
Compared to an Intel 486DX-25, the 50/25MHz IBM Blue Lightning 486BL2 was 58%
faster overall, and the 75/25MHz 486BL3 was more than twice as fast (216%).
Against the Intel 50/25MHz 486DX2, the 50/25MHz 486BL2 was 2% faster overall,
and the 75/25MHz 486BL3 was 38% faster.

Compared to an Intel 486DX-33, the IBM Blue Lightning 66/33MHz 486BL2 was 43%
faster overall, and the 100/33MHz 486BL3 was twice as fast (200%).  Against the
Intel 66/33MHz 486DX2, the 66/33MHz 486BL2 was 9% slower overall, and the
100/33MHz 486BL3 was 26% faster.  For customers using primarily
non-floating-point (integer) computations, both clock-doubling 486BL2's offer
similar performance to the 486DX2's, while both clock-tripling 486BL3 chips are
significantly faster than the 486DX2's, at a lower price.
