When using AciaPak and T2, you need to have the device in slot one of the MPI. Aciapak sets the MPI to send through interupts *only* from slo one. This is why you're missing so many chars. The packs interupts aren't getting through. You're only getting what is caught during the 60hz clock IRQ scan. There is a hardware hack to get around this, but it is only needed if you want to run more than one IRQ driven device at a time. For now, just move the pack. While on the subject, there is one more thing you'll run in to. With the stock clock and Aciapak, the mod-pak will appear to lock up on occasion. SAcia and Ed #9 clock were written to fix this. So get them installed soonest. :> Oh, in the mean time, if it locks, hit another window and do a "dir" on a floppy drive. IT isn't the pak itself locked, it's the IRQ logic in the GIME chip. Accessing a floppy will shake it free on motor off. Kludgy, but it will keep you rolling.

Well...I'm here in the Land of Pig, trying to get ready, and hoping that things don't turn out on the road like they did last time I rode back from the Chicago area. That afternoon, a state trooper pulled us over. We wondered whether a tail light had gone out, until she walked up and told us she was headed down the road to check out a report of a tornado, and we'd better be ready to pull over and jump in the ditch. "Yes, *ma'am*," we said. We were at a point at which there wasn't much but road, so we didn't have much choice save to drive on and look to see whether the cars approaching from the other direction were on the ground.

Make that, the Blue Streak Ultima. A while back, on a few occasions I asked whether the power required on pin 18 to run the ultima was supplied on Panasonic printers, and so far everyone has said no. Recently my folks got a new 486 for the house and my mother got an HP 560 Deskjet for her hair Salon so she print out color envelopes and such. They brought the Panasonic home for the new computer, so I decided it would be a good time to test for myself, since it is now at the house :-) This is the model K KX-P1123(24 pin) btw. I hooked it up to the ultima and powered it up, and it actually APPEARS to be getting power. When I type 'dir >/p' it does send characters to the printer BUT, all it prints is a line or so of garbage. I changed my baud settings in xmode and on the ultima to try and find some improvement but got none. There was one thing I noticed tho. If I had my xmode for the printer baud at 2400 and the Ultima was set at 9600 I got that garbage, but if they were both 9600 or 2400, I got nothing. Would that indicate I am not getting enough power, or am I just dealing with bad settings either in xmode or somewhere on the printer? I can't find the Dip switches on the panasonic, but am not sure if it even has those hidden anywhere. I'll check the printer manual to see what I can scrape up there, but if anyone can confirm that I am getting power, please reply.

Kill() synopsis: #include int kill(pid, sigcode) int pid; short sigcode; function: Kill() sends a signal to a process. Both the sending and receiving process must have the same user number unless the sending process user number is that of the super user(0). the value in sigcode is sent as a signal to the process whose ID number is pid. you can give any value in sigcode. The conventional code numbers are definded in the header file. kill() returns -1 if an error occurs and the appropriate error code is placed in the global varible errno. caveats: The super user can send a signal to all processes running on the system if the pid is zero.
