- The RSGB should be able to tell you about the UK "third party" rules.
- Since both the land station and the vessel are UK, UK laws would apply on
- the high seas.
-
- Traditionally the UK has been one of the stricter nations regarding third
- party traffic (i.e. anything other than the sending ham and the receiving
- ham), but I understand this may be slowly changing.

- Subject: Info needed on Tandy 4000
- To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
-
- This is sort of a cross post but I am in need of an answer.
-
- I bought a Tandy 4000 from a surplus computer sale here at the
- University where I work.
-
- It has a 3 1/2 and 5 1/4 drives min of a 40 meg HD EGA monitor
- a 2 MEG RAM CARD. Paid $25.00 for it because both the monitor and
- CPU units were marked NO GOOD by the University service people.
-
- I thought well if it doesn't work I can always use the case to build
- a computer system. Well I took it home connected it up, turned on
- the monitor and it appeared to be working fine complete full rasper
- on the screen. TYhen I powered up the CPU. The boot up information and
- the C> prompt over lapped in three columns (running DOS 5.0)
- I loaded Super Morse and the data on the screen still over lapped.
- I loaded it off both floppies and the system worked just fine except
- the monitor. I then loaded a game called Space Quest II and the
- problem on the monitor cleared up. I reinstalled SM to verify problem
- still existed and yes it was still there. I then connected the monitor
- to another CPU and the monitor worked perfectly.
-
- I believe the problem is with the Dos 5.0 system program in the
- video drive cmd section. What leads me to believ this is that a
- Game like I loaded runs off its own internal programing and the video
- driver cmds are being taken from the game program and not the system
- program.\
-
- If you think I am correct or not Please E-Mail me I want to get this
- system on line on Packet A.S.A.P.
-
- Thank a bunch

- Tim Wright KD4OVM
-
- BTW All of the drives are working perfectly also.

- See the information available by anon ftp on col.hp.com under
- hamradio/packet/n6gn/uwvlink. The readme should help explain it.
- The original article in Ham Radio magazine showed an IBM PCLAN adapter

- the Gracilis card(s) for an interface. I suspect that the Ottowa PI
- card might work as well, though not at full speed.
