- Hi, now that I got your attention I was hoping you would be
- so kind as to lend me your experience/expertise on several topics I
- have been mulling over recently. Let me first qualify myself as the
- proud owner of a NeXT Color Turbo Station w/ 250Mb HD and 16Mb Ram,
- if it makes any difference.
-
- 1) Is there a graphics library package which can be linked with
- C programs allowing pixel placement (similar to Borland C++
- getpixel() and putpixel() routines)? I guess I would like to
- open a 640x480 window, background originally set to something,
- and fill it in pixel-by-pixel.
-
- 2) Where is the swapfile?
-
- 3) Is there a monitor-screen cover so it doen't get scatched?
-
- 4) I want to add more RAM in the smallest increments necessary
- but insuring I can add up to 32Mb without ever having to
- take out a SIMM.
-
- 5) How do I change SoftPCv2.0's harddrive size to say 30Mb? Also,
- how do I get it to recognize to A> drive. Now, when I go to
- Preferences and choose Floppy A: and select Internal, it comes
- back with " Cannot gain access to the real floppy device. Check
- permissions on /dev/rfd0b" -- which is currenly crw-r----- 1 root.
- When I become root and try it again it returns: "Unable to open
- floppy device: possibly empty drive?"
-
- 6) I would like to connect my Hayes compatable modem and dot matrix
- printer...
