I once had it trying to format high density disks {n a 360K drive. You can't do it sometimes. Msg 42721 is 06 line(s) on 11/04/89 from RICHARD GOZDAL to JOE JESSON re: R/HAMFEST All I saw was a few computer related items at the Hamfest. The Weather items were tempting but seemed to only be the start of one heck of an expensive enterprise. I heard that the Hamfest were a lot better. maybe the showing was kind of small due to the great weather so late in the year. One slow fest doesn't mean much, especially with that weather.

No one by that name (Ward Christianson) ever logs on to this bbs. I presume you are asking about the whereabouts of Randy Suess. He may be found on his UNIX BBS at 312-283-0559.

I've been browsing several Chicago area boards to find homes. This is one of them. I have gotten some interesting comments and read many more. I'm happy to be here. Now for a contribution. I was askin around for a split screen editor. Among the responses was QEDIT, which i as able to download to demo. I had a problem with loading two files at the same time. This was cleared up with great detail by several people. I see the importance of a forum of free exchange. Another valuable point is the size and depth of the user base. You can sit and rot waiting for a on Prodigy. It has some interesting points, and without it I wouldn't be here via the sugestions left there by users who know you. I've scanned mess ages on Prodigy daily since 10/18/89 fer Chicago BBS's are mentioned. - - Now for a request for help. Does anyone have the toll free number for the Mitral valve prolapse hot line? This was on T{ news last week and I missplaced it! Thanks in advance. - - Mike - - Msg 42728 is 02 line(s) on 11/06/89 from MIKE LADA to BRENT JONES re: R/PRODIGY Brent, I'm still looking for PC OUTLINE to demo. I've checked into QEDIT so far and would like to compare. Do you know where it is? - - Mike - - Msg 42729 is 04 line(s) on 11/06/89 from MIKE LADA to RICHARD HINTON re: R/PRODIGY Reply to msg# 42708 What good is Prodigy? If you had an EMail need you ld organise a group leaving personal msgs around the country for $10/mo plus the local access cost. That could get to be pretty cheap if you had enough users that benifited from the content. - - Mike - - Msg 42730 is 07 line(s) on 11/07/89 from ERIC BOHLMAN to ALL re: UPGRADING XT HARD DRIVE Our BBS has recently gone from an ST-225 to an ST-251. However, our controller can't seem to agree with Disk Manager's driver on how many heads the drive has. DM will properly format on all 6 heads, so the controller is capable of addressing them, but the driver refuses to acknowledge more than 4 heads. We're using an Everex 391, which I think is a combination floppy/hard controller. Any suggestions other than spendin{ the $70 our Everex dealer wants for an upgrade to the controllerw3?

Nor can it format more than 33 mb. That is what I remember. Something to do wite basic operating system - the BIOS or the BDOS or whatever (I may be mixing old terms here, but the fact remains) I hope that's not the problem. Perhaps newer BIOS's can deal with more, possibly when teamed with a newer HD con I'd sure like to know if this is the case, and a good combo to use. I'd like more than33 mb in the old honker, myself. Let me know3w. regards Msg 42733 is 07 line(s) on 11/07/89 from BRENT JONES to MIKE LADA re: R/PRODIGY I'm not sure what you mean when you ask where to find PC Outline. It is a available on most BBS that file sections of PC shareware. I got a recent download on CompuServe, but I just wanted to get the most RECENT version possible-it turns out to be the same as on most BBS. Since it is owned by Brown Bag Software, you might find it listed as Brown Bag Outline-it is exactly the same. Call me at 312/665-4462 if you need me to mail you a copy on disk. Brent Jones Msg 42734 is 04 line(s) on 11/07/89 from BRENT JONES to BILL MATTSON re: R/UPGRADING XT HARD DRIVE A PC/XT can use a bigger drive than 33 meg. You just have to split it into "hard drives" called C: D: E: when you do the partitioning. If you want to use a big drive like 80 Mb as C: only then you must use MS DOS 4.01 I don't understand 'HOSRT', WARD Type ? for list of valid commands. >Function:?
