3 Different types of "slots"
============================
-> Added on January 19, 1994
VL-Bus connectors have _three_ in-line expansion slots.
Just like the 16bit ISA (AT) bus added an extension to the end of the PC's
8bit slot, the VL-Bus slot adds yet another, like this:
---Three--- -----Four------ -One--
-VLB slots- ---ISA slots--- -8bit-

3 Ways to Control a Hard Drive
==============================
-> Added on January 3, 1994
I have just gotten some new experience with 32bda and BIOSes ...
A friend of mine has a new Pentium, and he wasn't able to get Windows 32 bit
DISK access (32bda) working on his system. I looked into his IDE setup in
BIOS and found that he was using the new EIDE drive access methods.
Standard IDE is accessed with what is known as standard CHS (Cylinder/Head/
Sector), but EIDE has two other methods over those: Extended CHS, and LBA
(Logical Block Access). Both ECHS and LBA are methods for accessing IDE hard
drives larger than 528MB. LBA is the most sophisticated protocol, and ECHS
is an intermediate protocol between LBA and the old CHS.
His BIOS setup autodetects which method is suitable to use with his drives,
and chooses appropriately. It first checks for LBA, then ECHS, and finally
standard CHS. Often the smaller IDE drives won't work with LBA at all, so
the next method they try is ECHS. There is almost no difference between CHS
and ECHS as far as the drives are concerned, and the autodetect usually
settles on ECHS.
This is where the problem arises: the BIOS is using ECHS, while the 32bda of
Windows (which is a replacement for BIOS while running Windows) emulates only
CHS.
The standard 32bda polls the BIOS for information regarding the drive
physical characteristics, and finds that it doesn't really understand the
format, because the information is in ECHS format not CHS format.
I was able to solve his problem by simply going into the BIOS setup and
manually overriding the autodetected method with a standard CHS method.
There is no need to use LBA or ECHS unless you have drives that are bigger
than 528MB, so you might as well use standard CHS. There are no performance
benefits to using the newer access protocols either over standard CHS, they
are just there to allow access to drives greater than 528MB, so you might as
well use standard CHS.

Bigger Hardrive Means Bigger Appetite
=====================================
-> Added on January 3, 1994
Did you just buy and install a BIG hard disk? You probably took the easy
route and partitioned it as one whole physical drive, right? Did you know
that a large partition on a hard disk is one of the biggest waste of hard
disk space?
Here is a simple chart of space used by each cluster in relation to the
actual size of the Hard Drive itself.
Size of Partition in MB Size of Cluster in Kbytes
16 - 127.99 2
128 - 255.99 4
256 - 511.99 8
512 - 1023.99 16
1024 and greater ??
Where the waste comes in are those files that are smaller that the size of
each individual cluster. Have you ever considered how many files you have
that are that small?
As the MB partitioning increase, the amount of wasted disk space increases
because those small files are going to consume the next largest cluster size.
As an example ... the majority of CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files are
probably under 1K. If these two files were on a partitioned drive of 420MB,
those two files would consume 16K of disk space even though together they are
less than 2K in size.
I guess the answer to the question is the effort worth it?!? Breaking down
your large hard drive after it's in use could involve fooling with several
drives to move between during each operation; starting the backup programs
again and again when the tape has finished with one drive and trying to keep
track of the tapes; or worse yet using a "million" floppies. And having
compressed drives can only complicate the situation.
The choice is yours!

Communications Terms

╚════════╝ └─────┘ └─────┘ ╚════════╝
(Figure 1)
Pictured above is a brief sketch of a complete signal circuit, consisting
of two computers (A & B) interconnected thru their Modems.
Five Definitions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(as they relate to the above Figure 1)
BAUD RATE: The actual rate of signal transitions per second. Since each
signal may represent more than one bit, it is not the same as BPS.
BPS or Bits Per Second: The number of data bits per second transmitted
between two modems. Sometimes incorrectly called the baud rate. (See
Baud Rate above)
DCE (Data Communication Equipment) rate: The transmission speed of the
interface between two modems. The DCE rate and BPS are synonymous.
DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) rate: The transmission speed of the interface
between a computer / terminal and it's modem. Includes the RS - 232
Serial ports. Baud rate is frequently cited in this interface (*as is
bps*), all of which is depicted on Figure 1. Note DTE / baud exists on
both ends, while DCE / bps is between the modems. DTE is often called
the Port area (and Port Speed) since this is where the Serial Ports are.
THROUGHPUT: The DCE rate expressed in cps (Characters/second = bytes/sec).
In a modern 9600 bps modem (often incorrectly called a 9600 baud modem) the
signal rate is actually 2400 baud. It is encoded with four data bits per
baud, resulting in a DCE rate of 9600 bps. The 14,400 bps modem is much the
same, but encoded with 6 data bits per baud. In a 2400bps modem (often
incorrectly called a 2400 baud modem) the signal rate is actually 600 baud.
It is encoded with four data bits per baud, resulting in a DCE rate of
2400bps. The 1200bps modem is much the same, but encoded with only 2 data
bits per baud.
Since the normal BBS communication schemes employ 8 bits (for each Byte, or
character) + 1 start bit, + 1 stop bit = 10 bits/character, it follows that
the DCE rate is 10 times the character rate. Therefore a DCE rate of
2400bps results in a Thruput of ~240cps. As this represents a 100%
efficiency, this figure is not attainable (without additional techniques),
but can be very closely approached using a modern protocol like Zmodem
MobyTurbo (tm), which can achieve a thruput of 235 to 238cps on .ZIP'd
files. High speed modems usually utilize error correction to exceed the
100% efficiency rate (~1100 cps at 9600 & ~1650 at 14400).
MODEM PROTOCOLS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A variety of ITU-TSS V. standards as well as Microcom MNP standards apply
to modems.
MODULATION PROTOCOLS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
V.17 Emerging ITU-TSS standard for 14400/second FAX.
V.17 also supports a more robust 9600 bits/second than V.29
V.21 Transmission at up to 300 bits/second (300 baud)
V.22 Transmission at 1200 bits/second (600 baud)
V.22bis Transmission at 2400 bits/second (600 baud)
V.23 1200 bps ITU-TSS operation with 75 bps back channel (Europe)
V.25 Answer sequence for calls originating outside US & Canada
V.25bis For Synchronous comm using HDLC & character oriented protocols
V.27ter ITU-TSS standard for 2400 & 4800 bit/second (Group III) Fax
V.29 ITU-TSS standard for 9600 bit/second (Group III) FAX
V.32 Transmission at 4800 & 9600 bits/second (2400 baud)
V.32bis Transmission at 4800, 7200, 9600, 12000 & 14400 bps (2400 baud)
V.34 Transmission at 2400 to 28800 bps in 2400 steps
V.54 Analog, digital and remote digital loopback testing
TIA/EIA-578 Service Class 1 Asynchronous Fax DCE Control Standard
TIA/EIA-592 Service Class 2.0 Asynchronous Fax DCE Control Standard
Note that in the United States of America, Bell 103 and Bell 212a are the
protocols that are widely used for 300 and 1200 bps respectively. In
Europe, and the rest of the world, V.21 and V.22 are the protocols used for
these speeds.
ERROR-CONTROL PROTOCOLS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MNP 2-4 Detects and corrects transmission errors. MNP standards do
not include full V.42 compliance. Each MNP level adds
additional features. The top level, Version 4, strips start
and stop bits and optimizes data packets for line conditions.
V.42 Handshaking procedure that determines what levels of error
correction are common between two modems. LAP-M, a more
sophisticated but similar protocol to MNP Level 4, is defined
as the primary error correction protocol in V.42 MNP Level 4,
providing backwards compatibility with all MNP levels except
1 is recommended as an Annex error correction protocol.
Therefore, all V.42 modems should be compatible with all MNP
2-4 modems as well.
MNP 10 A set of Adverse Channel Enhancements that helps modems work
better with poor connections, compensating for line noise,
echo problems, and limited bandwidth. Modems will make
multiple attempts to set up a transmission link, optimize the
size of data packets for a connection, and adjust to the
highest rate possible. The protocol was originally developed
to improve connections with cellular modem connections, but it
may improve land line connections as well.
DATA-COMPRESSION PROTOCOLS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MNP 5 Provides compression as great as 2 to 1 on some files. Not
related to V.42bis, but they often appear in the same modems.
Slows down compressed file transfers.
V.42bis Provides compression as great as 4 to 1 on some files.
Doesn't itself include MNP 5 compatibility, and will not slow
down transfer of compressed files.
T.4 Specifications for encoding FAX data according to one of
several possible compression algorithms.
T.30 A standard for controlling the handshake of two Group III FAX
devices. It sets negotiations between devices for speed and
data encoding, and sends a 1100 hertz communications tone
between devices.
NOTE: Each V.nnbis complements, but is separate from, its V.nn
counterpart. Theo Irmer, director of the ITU-TSS wrote: "I would
like you to note further, that the use of "bis", "ter" etc. in the
numbering of Recommendations (e.g. V.42bis) does not necesarily
mean a simple expansion of the Recommendation having the original
number, (e.g. V.42). In other words, V.42 and V.42bis should be
considered as independent, separate Recommendations."
A discussion of proprietary modulation protocols -- Compucom CSP, Hayes
Express, Microcom MAX, Telebit PEP, & USR HST -- is beyond the scope of this
primer, except to emphasize that ALL proprietary's will connect at Hi Speed
with ONLY THEIR OWN; ie HST to HST, PEP to PEP, etc. This includes v.FC,
which is not a standard of any kind, though many manufacturers support or
will support it in their V.34 modems.
UARTs: Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitters are required elements
in the signal circuit to convert the parallel transmission to serial (in
the serial port--or COM port). For systems using external modems, the
terminal UART is employed. Internal modems, however, make use of their
own internal UART. Most commonly supplied in these cases is the 8250 or
(in AT's) the 16450. For the majority of users, these chips will
suffice for 9600+ bps DCE rates. Some systems, however, that are
experiencing interrupt latency (IL) are liable to experience data
overruns and lost bits when using the stock UARTs. If you fit into that
category, you will likely require an NS16550AFN (now known also as the
PC16550CN), a direct plug-in replacement for the above named UARTs. The
16550 has onboard 16 byte FIFO buffers (transmit & receive) to retain
the otherwise lost bits, during IL occurrences. The factors that
increase the IL risk are: slow hardware, fast modems, multitasking, and
other CPU intensive software. Because you fit the IL profile does NOT
mean you require a 16550, just a higher risk. If you ARE losing bits
during xfers, however, you should definitely consider the 16550.
Sometimes this means switching to a separate plug-in serial card (and
external modem) in order to incorporate the new chip.

IDE and SCSI drives (RE: 32bit access)
======================================
-> Added on October 30, 1994
-> Windows for Workgroups
First, make sure your Windows swap file is located on your IDE drive. Next,
configure Control Panel / 386Enh / virtual memory for 32-bit DISK access
and 32-bit FILE access.
Add these following two lines to the [386Enh] section of SYSTEM.INI:
device=vxdldr.386
device=ios.386
This will enable the "real mode remapper". Now restart Windows. If Windows
hangs, reboot and comment out the following line from the [386Enh] section
of SYSTEM.INI and restart Windows once again:
NoEMMDriver=True
* This is a known and proven bug in Microsoft WFWG 3.11 that occurs under
special conditions.
At this point, your IDE drive should have both 32-bit DISK access and
32-bit FILE access. Your SCSI drive should have 32-bit FILE access only.

Connecting Two Network Cards
============================
-> Added on October 30, 1994
QUESTION: "I have two computers both with WFW 3.11 installed. I would like
to share resoures and drives. I have the opportunity to use a 3COM network
card and an Allied Telesys network card. That plus a length of 8 conductor
twisted pair cable terminated with RJ45 connectors. I also have the network
card drivers that came OEM. Will this work - or is there more hardware &
software required? Does one of the computers or another computer have to be
setup as server? Do I require a hub to interconnect the computers through?"
ANSWER: After you get the cards configured and installed you can avoid the
hub by swapping the transmit and receive pairs of your cable.

Active pins are 1 & 2 and 3 & 6, one end is normal, one end swapped. Also
keep in mind that pairs should be kept together to keep twists from end to
end, the twists are what keeps out RF and EF interference. So pair 1 & 2
and 3 & 6 should twist from end to end.

Remote Access at Higher Speeds
==============================
-> Added on October 30, 1994
First this procedure is not recommended by Microsoft, but I am successfully
running it on several WFW3.11 workstations, 2 NTAS 3.1 servers, and the
Daytona BETA. Basically they don't want you to manually edit the .INF or
the .INI files.
First step is to backup the MODEM.INF file!! Next you need to have a
suggested settings section for the .INF file and add this to the MODEM.INF
If the manufacture doesn't have a suggested settings for your 28.8 modem,
then find a modem close to the one you have, ie USR Courier D/S for the USR
Courier D/S 28.8. Copy the section of the .INF file that is similiar to the
one you need. Paste the section back in the MODEM.INF file under the
original section. Change the name of the section in brackets to a different
name you will recognize later (I add 28.8 to the end). Now you need to edit
the following lines in the new section:
MAXCARRIERBPS=14400 change this to 28800
MAXCONNECTBPS=19200 change this to 57600 if you have a 16550 uart
otherwise change this to 38400
If you don't have a 16550, I'd suggest getting one. RAS will work at 28.8
with the DTE set to 38400, but you will probably get serial over-run errors
especially if modem compression is turned on.
Now save the file and reconfigure RAS. Your "new" modem will be one of the
entries you can choose. I have heard of problems with modem compression
causing serial overruns even at 57600. So try it with compression on, if
you have problems turn it off. RAS at 28.8 is actually workable. Files
transfers are quick, but if you have noisy lines be carefull because RAS
uses the network protocols not an error correcting protocol like zmodem.

USRobotics Sportster Modem
==========================
-> Added on October 30, 1994
The proven initialization string for the USR Sportster is as follows. Type
AT&F to reset to factory defaults before entering and saving (AT&W) the new
settings.
AT&B1&N0&H1&K3&A1&M4&I0&R2S10=15V1X4S27=32
After you save the settings, use ATZ as your Modem Init string in all the
programs that use it. You should regularily achieve 1650 cps on a Zmodem
download on normal phone lines.
* jeff.marchi@pcgfx.com
(If you want to enter this in the initialization string slot of your
comm prog then add ^M directly at the end of the string).
Steps to utilizing this string:
1) Go to the Terminal screen and type AT&F <enter> to restore your factory
defaults.
2) CAREFULLY type this string to the Terminal window *exactly* as above.
Hit the <enter> key. When you get the "OK" signal ...
3) Type AT&W <enter>. This will save the string in your NVRAM.
4) Change your init string in Telemate to ATZ^M, and this will activate your
NVRAM settings each time you initialize or return to Originate Mode.
If you want a faster dial sequence than default (S11-70), then type
ATS11=50&W this will speed up the dial sequence and save it to NVRAM. Again,
having ATZ as your Telemate init string will utilize your NVRAM settings.
The following is a quick breakdown of what the commands in this string do:
1) &B1 This locks the serial port at the speed you have set (this should be
38400 for 14400s; 19200 for 9600s).
2) &N0 This allows variable rate connections.
3) &H1 Enables hardware flow control (CTS).
4) &K3 Disables MNP5 data compression while still allowing Selective Data
Compression based on V.42bis. MNP5 is not useful for already
compressed files...in fact it adds data to the files thus degrading
performance.
5) &A1 This enables ARQ error control result codes.
6) &M4 Normal or default ARQ error control is enabled.
7) &I0 Xon/Xoff software flow control is disabled.
8) &R2 RTS (hardware flow control) is enabled.
9) S10=15 Delay of 1.5 seconds before hang-up if carrier is lost.
10) V1 Verbal Result Codes is enabled.
11) X4 Recognizes all result codes (default).
12) S27=32 Disabled V.42 (enabled MNP).
* Gordon Vanscheik @ 1:3417/2
Some Sportsters were sold that had Dual Standard ROMS in them. There is a
"magic" string that you can enter and your modem will turn into and stay as
a 16800 Courier Dual Standard. To verify the change, type ATI4 or ATI5 in
a communications program. The modem will not return to a Sportster until it
loses power, resetting by ATZ will not do it! This only works with certain
dated ROMS!

Connecting Two Modems
=====================
-> Added on October 30, 1994
If you're on a voice call with someone and want to transfer a file or do
something over the modem, use this little trick to save yourself from the
need to hang up and redial. Make sure both modems are initialized and
ready, then type the following commands:
ATX3D on one computer
ATA on the other one
It doesn't matter which computer uses which command, but you can't use the
same on both.

Sluggish Compression?
=====================
-> Added on October 30, 1994
If you have a 386 or faster, and are using DoubleSpace, you can speed
things up a little bit. First, type "DBLSPACE /INFO" to locate the
uncompressed drive containing the compressed file DBLSPACE.000. Go to the
root directory of that drive and type "ATTRIB -S -H -R DBLSPACE.INI". Now
edit DBLSPACE.INI and add "Enable386=1" as it's own line. Save and exit
the editor and at the prompt type "ATTRIB +S +H +R DBLSPACE.INI". Reboot
for the change to take effect.
* PC Computing - August 1994
This has been tested with the new DriveSpace (DOS 6.22) and appears to work
