Seufz ! Meine Hardware macht mir immer mehr zu schaffen. Bislang hatte ich ja
nur Probleme, wenn ich meinen Drucker ein- und ausschaltete, aber mittlerweile
ist an ein vernⁿnftiges Arbeiten gar nicht mehr zu denken.
Bin ich im gerade im Desktop, tauchen urpl÷tzlich die unm÷glichsten Fehler
auf ! Aus heiterem Himmel erhalte ich entweder eine Address Exception, einen
Internal Error oder einen v÷lligen Systemabsturz ohne jegliche Fehlermeldung.
Zeitweise kann es auch vorkommen, da▀ sich die Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit
pl÷tzlich um mindestens 90 Prozent verringert, soda▀ alle Operationen extrem
langsam erledigt werden. Ihr k÷nnt Euch sicher vorstellen, da▀ mich dieser
Hokuspokus schon fast in den Wahnsinn getrieben hat... Die Fehler tauchen
ⁿbrigens *nur* im Desktop auf ! Im Singletask-Modus gibt's ⁿberhaupt keine
Probleme.
Woran liegt's ? Vermutlich liegen die Ursachen fⁿr das seltsame Verhalten
meines A3000 auf der Hardwareseite, denn auf der Softwareseite sehe ich
keine Probleme (meine !Boot-Datei lΣdt nur vier Module: Desktop+, Germany,
ROMApps3D und VProtect). Bleiben also als Schuldige also nur noch das
RISC OS 3.1-ROM und meine 4MB-Erweiterung (nicht gold-plated) ⁿbrig. Das ROM
schlie▀e ich aus, bleibt also nur noch die RAM-Erweiterung. Liegt es daran ?
RΣcht es sich jetzt, da▀ ich seinerzeit zu knausrig war, um mir gold-plated
RAMs zu kaufen ?
Oder liegt es eventuell doch am ROMApps3D-Modul ? Irgendwie habe ich den
Eindruck, da▀ sich die HΣufigkeit der Abstⁿrze verringert, wenn das Modul
nicht geladen wird...

Eine etwas ungew÷hnlich Anzeige, aber ich dachte, ich wⁿrde hier mal Roger
Wilson von Acorn zitieren (irgendwann im Jahre 1991), wenn es gerade um das
Thema 8-Bit-Paletten und Modi geht. Leider ist der Text in Englisch, aber
das bekommen wir hin, gell? - Epics -
╗ I noticed David Alan Gilbertæs comment öDid anyone see
Mike Cookæs little note in Archive, how very trueö and
Iæd like to get some response: Mikeæs comment is to the
effect that the world really needs 8 bit 256 colour
with random choice of colour. You can only get this on
current machines by using the PCATS Graphics Enhancer.
In the future (some unspecified time away, but enough
time for code to be written) VIDC20 will be used in
new machines. VIDC20 gives 8 bit 256 colour random choice
of colour just like the PCATS Graphics Enhancer.
I am proposing to *NOT* use it.
That is, like changing the 4 bit per pixel palette, it
will be a possibility for people to change the 8 bit
palette (which will by default be identical to the
current one - two bits of r,g,b plus 2 bits of tint), but
the user interface will not do those things that (say)
Suns do: changing the active palette for each window as
it becomes the selected window.
Why?
Because, quite simply, I think the machine is better for
not changing the palette. It is a major strength of RISC OS
that I can see two high resolution pictures side by side
and compare them. This cannot be done if only one palette
can be active at a time. I think of the 8 bit mode as an
8 bit öTrue Colourò mode and wish to use it exactly like
16 bit and 24 bit displays. And I think this makes the
computer much nicer (and easier) to use.
The RISC OS 8 bit palette offers pictures which are very
close to an ideal 256 colour picture with random choice
of colour (particularly for natural pictures which donæt
have saturated r,g,b): both Translator and ChangeFSI have
demonstrated this. The fixed palette also allows the
closest colour to be found in only 4 least squared
distance tests rather than 256 for a random set of colours.
[Note that contrary to Mike Cookæs assertions, RISC OS *is*
capable of handling arbitary 256 colour palettes - otherwise
the PCATS Graphics Enhancer would not work at all... Indeed
ChangeFSI can convert pictures to whatever random 256 colour
palette youære using with the Enhancer - it just takes AGES]
If you want better fidelity, I am proposing that you will
prefer 16 bit True Colour.
Input, please (#5)

(Eine zugegebenerma▀en sehr elegante Argumentation von Roger. Trotzdem
habe ich den Eindruck, da▀ er hier das Prinzip der nachtrΣglichen
Argumentation gewΣhlt: Die Begrⁿndung fⁿr eine bestimmte Sache wird erst
spΣter "nachgeschoben". Es ist einfach, zu sagen, da▀ bei einer festen
Palette alle m÷glichen Bilder gleichzeitig dargestellt werden k÷nnen.
Dieses Argument verschwindet jedoch hinter dem Vorteil, den man hΣtte,
wenn man 256 Farben frei wΣhlen k÷nnte ! Eine Default-Palette wΣre ja
weiterhin m÷glich, und fⁿr Spezialanwendungen (Spiele, Demos) k÷nnte man
sich das Optimum heraussuchen.)
ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ
Noch so ungew÷hnliche Anzeige, aber dieses Mal wⁿrde ich gerne David Seal,
den Boss von ARM Ltd, zitieren (Juni 1992), wenn es gerade um das Thema
Custom Chips geht, mit denen z.B. der Amiga so reichlich gesegnet ist...
Leider ist der Text wieder in Englisch, aber das bekommen wir auch noch
hin. - Epics -
╗ .. A custom chip (named VIDC) is there to support sound and graphics, in
the sense that it takes a bitmap from memory and displays it, and takes
sound waveforms from memory and puts them on the loudspeaker. It doesnæt
actually create the bitmaps and waveforms in the first place: that is done
by the ARM. E.g. when the computer to draw a line, the ARM calculates which
pixels on the screen need to change and changes those pixels in memory;
meanwhile, VIDC is continually fetching pixel data from memory and
displaying it on the screen, so when the appropriate part of the screen is
scanned, the new values of the pixels are used rather than the old one.
It would be possible to produce hardware chips that automated e.g. the
line-drawing process and other graphics calls. This would result in some
speed increases, but possibly not as much as youæd expect. The reason is
that all the hardware is competing for memory accesses: whenever the new
chip was using memory, the ARM itself would be unable to do so. As soon as
the ARM actually needed to access memory, therefore, it would be stopped.
So the only ways a new chip would help would be:
(a) By decreasing the total number of memory accesses required by the
combination of the two chips. In particular, if it had the line-drawing
algorithm completely automated, it would no longer need to get the
machine instructions for the algorithm from memory. This would be the
main effect improving system speed on an uncached processor like the
ARM2, but would probably be a small effect on a cached processor like
the ARM3, since the line-drawing algorithm would run from cache.
(b) By doing memory accesses while the ARM itself isnæt using the memory.
This would mainly happen on cached processors, which donæt require
memory when theyære running from cache.
(By the way, the VIDC also requires memory accesses and thus stops the
processor from time to time. This is why high resolution screen modes or
ones with large numbers of colours slow down an ARM2-based machine. The
effect is a lot less dramatic on an ARM3-based machine because VIDC can
often get its memory accesses when ARM3 doesnæt need the memory.)
So a new chip could probably achieve some improvements on both cached and
uncached systems, though for different reasons. Against that, there are
some problems:
(1) The ARM would have to tell the new chip what lines to draw, etc. You
have to make certain that doing this takes us less time than you save by
having the new chip do the line drawing!
(2) Chips with dedicated hardware algorithms in them suffer from the
disadvantage of being inflexible. If the job you want to do isnæt
*exactly* what the chip supplies, you have to fall back on doing it with
the ARM. For instance, suppose you had a chip that could do polygon fill
with a solid colour. It works fine until you suddenly decide you want a
graduated fill...
So obviously there are some gains to be obtained from such a chip. The
question is how much, and whether you can make the gains big enough to
justify the cost of developing the chip.
Finally, remember that any extra chip in a machine makes it more expensive.
Itæs not merely the cost of the chip itself; youæve got to add on
percentage margins for the designer, the manufacturer, the distributor and
the dealer. It ends up increasing the cost of the machine by a lot more
than you might expect - maybe 2-3 times the raw cost of the chip.

(Fⁿr diesen Text gilt das gleiche wie fⁿr den vorherigen. Logisch, da▀ die
ARM-Jungs im nachinein alle Custom-Chips verteufeln - schlie▀lich mⁿssen
sie die gegenwΣrtige Chip-Konstellation als ideal darstellen ! Aber mich
wundert es schon, da▀ alle Konsolen (fast) nur aus "dedicated chips"
bestehen. Nach der einseitigen Logik von David Seal mⁿ▀ten diese Maschinen
aufgrund der stΣndigen RAM-Zugriffe ja zu gar nichts mehr kommen. Nun,
ab einer genⁿgend hohen DatenbuskapazitΣt trifft dies ganz sicher nicht mehr
zu.
Ich hΣtte jedenfalls gern einen Blitter im Archimedes. Fⁿr manche
Anwendungen bringt er enorme Vorteile. Aber ansonsten bin ich der
▄berzeugung, da▀ ein variabel anzuwendender (schneller) Prozessor nach wie

Hier eine offizielle Ver÷ffentlichung von Acorn aus dem Internet:
Article: 200 of comp.sys.acorn.announce
From: announce-request@acorn.co.uk
Date: 10 Sep 93 08:15:41 GMT
Acorn Computers has upgraded its range of Archimedes A5000 computers,
allowing them to run 30% faster than their predecessors as well as boasting
improved memory expansion.
The new series of A5000s now runs at 33MHz, allowing performance to be
increased by up to a third compared with the original 25 MHz models. In
addition, changes to the design have been incorporated allowing RAM to be
upgraded easily to 8 MBytes.
Whilst improving the design of its A5000 range, Acorn has been able to hold
down costs. This enables not only the product to be improved functionally,
but has also allowed Acorn to reduce the prices significantly.
At the heart of the New 33MHz A5000 is an ARM3 microprocessor which has
been moved to the newer 0.8m fabrication process, ensuring trouble free
operation at the 33MHz clock speed. Acorn is also moving its Floating
Point Accelerator to this same process so that it too will be able to
operate with the new 33MHz A5000. Shipments of the new FPA should be
available before the end of the year.
Acorn Product Manager, Neil Gardner, explained that the New 33MHz A5000
range would ensure continuing success for Acorn's family of Archimedes
computers which is capable of addressing a wide range of requirements. "Raw
performance has now been increased by over 30%. In terms of measured
performance the A5000 is now faster than a typical 33MHz 486DX PC.
Combined with the price reductions, around 10% across the range, the A5000
range is now even better value for money.
"Acorn has also worked closely with its third party developers to ensure
that 8MByte RAM upgrades can be fitted with the minimum of fuss and
inconvenience," he added.
The new A5000 comes in four configurations: top of the range has 4MB of RAM
together with a 162MB hard disc drive; there is a 2MB/80MB model; and two
network models. The latter provide access to both Acorn's proprietary
network, offering connectivity between Acorn's 8-bit and 32-bit machines,
as well as to industry standard networks via Ethernet and the TCP/IP
protocol suite.
Prices now start at #1275.74, ex VAT, for the 2MB/80MB model and #1445.96
for the 4MB/160MB model. The network models are #1175.74 and #1275.74
respectively for the Econet and Ethernet models.

Article: 178 of comp.sys.acorn.announce
From: bsalter@acorn.co.uk
Subject: Press Release: Acorn releases FPA
Date: 5 Jul 93 16:18:08 GMT
Acorn Releases
Floating Point Accelerator
Acorn Computers has released an arithmetic co-processor based on the
Advanced RISC Machines Ltd Floating Point Accelerator chip - the FPA10. It
will offer greater performance for the A540 and A5000 series of Archimedes
computers and the R260 UNIX workstation.
The FPA10 is a low power, floating point accelerator designed to interface
with the ARM family of CPUs. It uses a combination of silicon and software
to deliver a cost-effective level of performance. By implementing the
frequently used instructions on chip and using a combination of both
software and the chip for the less-frequent instructions, it provides a
design tuned to the requirements of ARM Powered systems whilst at the same
time preserving their low power features.
The FPA chip fits into a socket on the A5000 motherboard and the A540
processor card which were specifically designed with the FPA in mind. In
keeping with ARM design philosophy of low power, high performance
processing, the FPA10 dissipates only 250mW as opposed to the more typical
1-3 Watts dissipated by co-processors used on other manufacturers'
platforms.
Software which makes use of the RISC OS Floating Point Emulator
automatically uses the FPA once installed, with floating point performance
increasing by as much as a factor of 50. Computationally-intensive
applications that benefit from the performance increase typically include
spreadsheets, CAD, image analysis, modelling and vector graphics packages.
With the FPA, double precision calculations have an accuracy to 14 places of
decimal whilst extended precision calculations are accurate to 18 decimal
places.
The FPA processor has a peak throughput of up to 5 MFLOPs (Millions of
Floating Point Operations per second) at 26MHz and achieves an average
throughput in excess of 3 MFLOPs for a range of calculations.
Owners of early A540s and R260s may need to have a free of charge
modification made to their processor cards. Customers should contact their
dealers or write to Acorn Customer Services for guidance. In addition, RISC
iX users will require an additional software driver which can be obtained by
writing to Acorn Customer Services.
The price of the Floating Point Accelerator costs #99 (ex VAT) and is
available from any Acorn dealer. For customers requiring further
information, a 62-page data booklet, covering processor schematics,
programmer's model, instruction set and hardware/software considerations,
has been prepared which can be obtained from Vector Services, 13 Dennington
Way, Wellingborough, Northants NN8 2RL for #10 including postage and
packing.

Und noch was zum Pocketbook (siehe auch in der Rubrik 100)
Article: 210 of comp.sys.acorn.announce
From: aglover@acorn.co.uk
Subject: Acorn Extends Special Pocket Book Promotions (Press Release)
Date: 15 Sep 93 08:59:43 GMT
Acorn Extends Special Pocket Book Promotions
Acorn Computers is extending current special promotions on both its
hand-held Pocket Book portable computer and on Schedule, the associated
diary and organiser application, until 31st December 1993.
The Acorn Pocket Book, normally priced at #212.72 ex VAT, will now be on
sale at just #169.95 ex VAT until the end of the year.
Schedule, which provides a combined diary, personal organiser and timetable
to complement the Pocket Book's integrated suite of word processing,
spell-checking, spreadsheet, database, clock and calculator applications,
will continue at the special introductory price of #16.98 ex VAT, compared
with an RRP of #42.51, until 31st December.
Throughout the extended offer period, Class Pack rates for both products
will also be reduced. The Pocket Book Class Pack, which contains 11
machines, an A-link for connection to Acorn's range of 32-bit RISC
computers and a mains adaptor which extends Pocket Book battery life when
using the A-link, is available at #1699.50 ex VAT. The Schedule Class Pack,
consisting of 11 Acorn Schedule SSD ROMs, will cost just #169.79 ex VAT,
again only until the end of 1993.
Schedule was developed in response to early feedback from Acorn's education
and consumer Pocket Book customers. Used together with the Pocket Book, the
two products offer powerful and versatile portable computing functionality.
Mike O'Riordan, Acorn's Sales and Marketing Director, is clear about why the
Pocket Book is special: "Imagine a full set of the best available
menu-driven applications, considerable memory capacity and a built-in
computer screen, all in a robust, ergonomically designed case the size of a
spectacles box. This is what the Acorn Pocket Book provides; all for the
price of a single user professional software package."
Acorn's General Manager for UK Education, Peter Talbot, confirms the already
successful adoption of the Pocket Book in education: "There is now an
installed base of over 4,000 Pocket Books, many in schools and colleges.
Within a year of launch, the Pocket Book has taken 11% of the schools'
portable market and this share is still growing. Trials have established
that the Pocket Book, with special features such as the built-in spell
checker, is ideal for educational use, and meets the needs of the National
Curriculum as a general purpose IT resource across all subjects. Acorn's
extended promotional prices will enable UK educational establishments to
accelerate their take up of the Pocket Book."
Products can be ordered from Acorn dealers using the following codes:
Pocket Book: AHB05
Pocket Book Class Pack: AHB10
Schedule: AHA42
Schedule Class Pack: AHA11

So und diesmal gibt's die Datenⁿbertragungsraten eines Arm3's mit 25 MHz, der
in einem 3000er steckt, der Rest ist genauso wie beim letzten Test!
Zuerst die Werte fⁿr Arm3 mit Cache ON:
Mode Festplatte RAMDisk 800K-Floppy
0 1137/1089/1113 6400/5688/6044 22/22/22

24 948/ 867/ 907 3413/3200/3306 22/21/22
Overall 1025 5070 22
Und hier fⁿr den Arm3 mit Cache OFF:
Mode Festplatte RAMDisk 800K-Floppy
0 936/ 914/ 922 3938/3675/3797 22/22/22
12 898/ 882/ 890 3413/3413/3413 22/22/22
15 853/ 839/ 846 2844/2844/2844 22/22/22
24 616/ 682/ 649 3413/3200/3306 22/21/22
Overall 827 2979 22
So wie es aussieht liegt die Maximale Datenⁿbertragungsgeschwindigkeit von
RAM zu RAM bei 6400 KB/s (bei 8 MHz RAM-Takt!), naja, die Werte fⁿr die
Festplatte liegen etwas weit hinten, liegt aber auch an der Festplatte selber,
schneller kann sie wohl nicht!
Alle Werte ⁿbrigens in KB/s und zwar: Read/Write/Mittelwert
Was mich nun wirklich interessieren wⁿrde wΣren die Werte der 1.6MB Floppies!

Hi Dude. Ich selbst benutze den Vertical-Twist-Sampler. Der schafft 50kHz,
hat brauchbare SamplerSoftware dabei, und lΣuft ⁿber Econet. Dummerweise ist
auf der Karte auch ein MIDI-Interface, was die Sache fⁿr Dich wohl weniger
interessant machen wird. Zusammen hat das Teil einen Kaufwiderstand von
DM 300,-. Manchmal sample ich auch noch auf'm Amiga.
Die QualitΣt ist fⁿr den reinen SamplerPreis (ca.150DM) befriedigend.
Jemand sagte mir mal, da▀ der Oak-Sampler nur 10kHz schafft...

Und weiter gehts. Bei Digitizern kenne ich bisher nur den HCCS-Digitizer
(b/w, Farbe). Die beiden Versionen sind recht billig, bieten aber eine gute
QualitΣt (siehe CVision-Demo von Adept).
Handscanner habe ich bisher nur kurz gesehen, aber da habe ich mich nicht fⁿr

Zukⁿnftiger DF▄'ler hat sich jetzt ein Telefon organisiert, und versucht jetzt
unter die Phreaks zu gehen. Dazu ben÷tigt dieser (gro▀e Unbekannte) folgendes:
- ein Modem (m÷glichst fⁿr wenig Geld, mu▀ auch nicht unbedingt eine Hoch-

(V 2.19 deutsch), dann mu▀ es aber auch was entsprechendes sein.
- ein VerbindungsKabel zu meinem 310er (oder einen Bauplan nach dem ich sowas
bauen kann) Da stand zwar mal was im HL, aber irgendwie hatte ich das Gefⁿhl
da▀ das nur die Anschlⁿsse, und nicht die Verbindungen waren.
- Nummern von Boxen, Boards und was es sonst noch so gibt, das dieses komische
Gepiepse verstehen kann.
- evtl. einen Contact der ein wenig Ahnung vom Leben im Netz hat und bereit
ist sein Wissen zu vermitteln
Last hier was von euch h÷ren wenn Ihr zu einem dieser Punkte was loswerden

(Hm, mal ⁿberlegen... Ach ja, neulich habe ich so einen komischen Dankesbrief
bekommen. Der war von dem Typen, dem ich aus Spa▀ mal ein paar alte
PeripheriegerΣte (Festplatte & Multisync-Moni) von mir geschenkt habe. Keine
Ahnung, wie der hei▀t, aber mu▀ echt 'n armes Schwein sein. Vor meiner
kleinen Spende hat der doch glatt auf einem A310 mit 1 MB und RO2 (ohne
MEMC1a) gearbeitet...)
