Anyway--what you have to do to get your drives to step at 6 ms is modify the device descriptor modules for the floppy drives to indicate that they can step at 6 ms. However, judging by your message (and by "The CoCo Chronicles"), I would guess that you don't run OS-9 as such, but just put the Carmen Sandiego disks in the drives and type "DOS," so you probably don't have the tools needed to easily find the bytes to modify. So, what you'll need to find is someone with a CoCo and OS-9 who can use ded or some other tool to modify the bootfile (which contains the device descriptors) for you, or who can look on their copy of those programs and tell you the offsets that you could perhaps modify yourself, if you have a Disk BASIC program that will modify the raw bytes on a disk and can handle OS-9 formatted floppies. (You'll have to modify four bytes in each descriptor: one to change the step rate and three for the module CRC.) Alas, I can't help you, but I'm sure someone here will be able to.

From: DBREEDING To: RANDYKWILSON Randy, I think that you are the agent for supercomm, so I'll address this to you. I just grabbed it a week or so ago, and in working with it, I found something that seems to be a problem in at least my setup. My setup is a Disto SC-2 w/4in1, Disto Clock Edition 9, sacia w/the supercomm patches (only, not the ones Paul uploaded), and VRN suite of modules. When I close a capture buffer (that is SHIFT-Downarrow) after the prompt "...Close it "... after I respond "y", something is sent to the modem and supercomm locks up. This is with the modem in command mode.. I also tried this with the standard Disto clock and ACIAPAK with the same results. One other thing... with IT.XTP set with bit 6 (forced DTR) set, as supplied, if I exited my telecom program (OSTerm also), and turned my modem off, it would crash my system. (I know this is not a fault of supercomm, but thought I might add it). Anyway, I thought I'd throw this up at ya and see what you might come up with. The above situation might not be the way things would need to be done (close buffer with modem in cmd mode), but at any rate it does represent a possiblity for error and should be looked into. Of course the situation might be caused by the way my port handles RTS/CTS etc, but I would think that this port should be supported. BTW, here's my current xmode: nam=T2 mgr=SCF ddr=SACIA hpn=07 hpa=FF54 upc=00 bso=01 dlo=00 eko=01 alf=01 nul=00 pau=00 pag=18 bsp=08 del=18 eor=0D eof=1B rpr=09 dup=19 psc=17 int=03 qut=05 bse=08 ovf=07 par=0C bau=04 xon=11 xof=13 col=50 row=18 xtp=05 wnd=05 val= sty= cpx= cpy= fgc= bgc= bdc= Well, TTYL -- David Breeding -- *** Sent via CoCo-InfoXpress V1.01 *** ^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^ -*- 86517 26-MAR 19:02 Telecom (6809) RE: Supercomm... (Re: Msg 86509) From: RANDYKWILSON To: DBREEDING David, Both problems are known. Unforch, due to the coco telcom enviroment, there ain't much I can do about it. Turning modem off hangs the system. Yep, sure does, but only with certain clock modules. congrats on tracing this to bit 6. Took me forever to figure this one out, though I was doing it via email/forum. with the 6551, to leave DTR true means leaving the chip partially hot. Turning the modem off causes the lines to change state, and the 6551 tosses an IRQ (it shouldn't but does. BUG!). Of course, SAcia is gone, the irq handler has been removed, and so clock runs in an endless loop looking for someone to turn this damn interupt off. Apparent lockup. The answer is... DON'T SET BIT 6!!! :> The lockup with ascii capture close is a lot tougher. SuperComm sends out an X-Off (if enabled) to stop the sender before going to disk. It has to do this in order to not loose massive amounts of data on floppy based systems. But when you're in command mode, the modem just echos this x-off char right back to SAcia. When SuperComm is done writing, it sends an X-On. But in this case, SAcia won't send the char out, since it's x-off'd. Deadlock. Nasty. Normally I recommend running with only partial xon-off control. Disable the Tx side. i think the setting is par=04, but need to check it. This makes SAcia ignore the bounced Xoff. But if you're using a high speed modem with soft flow control, this will screw things up. I just realized how to fix it. Let me screw together a new SAcia, and I'll mail it to you for beta testing. Randy -*- 86524 26-MAR 23:41 Telecom (6809) RE: Supercomm... (Re: Msg 86517) From: DBREEDING To: RANDYKWILSON Randy, thanks for taking the time to describe the turn-of-modem problem and the thing about closing files. I would assume that the problem with file-close would not persist with modem in data mode - I didn't really have the XOff figured out, but in the back of my mind, I had a suspicion. Hadn't really given S-Com a thorough wring-out. Is it actually superior to OSTerm? OSTerm has a few shortcomings itself - no ascii upload being my main gripe. RE: the modem turn-off thing: I experienced a similar thing when I patched my Clock module with the Bruce Isted Gime toggle with WizPro. Of course it provided its own Driver and in this light, I would suspect that its problem was possibly a result of the same thing. I never did use the Wiz package, although it did have some appealing screens. I'll give S-Com a further wringout with my local BBS - I feel a little giddy when trying something like this till I get used to it. Feel like I'm walking on eggs . BTW.. I think I mentioned that I'm using the version of Sacia that came with the SuperComm pkg. Didn't install the patches that Paul uploaded.

(Re: Msg 86528) From: JOHNBAER To: MRUPGRADE Terry, Don't know about the `501' but, the old controllers used a 8K chip. The Moto numbers were: MCM 68764 and the MCM 68766. The 68766 was the faster one (350 ms) I think.. It's been a few years sense I used them :). -- John - johnbaer@delphi.com jbaer@pacs.pha.pa.us * IX 1.01 * "Clipper Chip - Big Brother Inside !" -*- 86545 28-MAR 08:31 Applications (6809) RE: 24 pin EPROMS?

I am using a 6552 pak (an Eliminator) and have noticed a bit choppier "feel" to telecomming with it, my standard 6551 (tandy deluxe pak) with SACIA is _seems_ smoother..is it my imagination, or is SACIA simply a better driver (or is it the Eliminator) .I am not losing chars, it just looks choppy, but then, I am not complaining (I cant POSSIBLY complain, I WAS using the bitbanger for awhile) Just wondering if there is a patch or 2 to throw in, and also, what bugs/problems can I expect? -* Mike -*- 86533 27-MAR 20:43 Programmers Den internet From: WDTV5 To: ALL Does anyone have any idea what keypress sequence to use as the esc char for internet? I find I can go to another window and use display to send a $1c to t2, but somehow thats seems a bit cumbersome, we oughta have it avail from the coco 3 keyboard, unforch the intuitive set is allready used to get the backslash itself. Also, I just spent 15 minutes waiting for it to connect to the old cabralas site, used the display out twice and got an "illegal sequence" error out of internets shell both times. Should I have gotten that?

I use the quotes as: cd "COCO3" Did you use the end quote ? I've missed that a few times :) And don't backspace if you make a mistake. Just type a new line..
