Hi everyone: Here I send the instructions of an excellent DOS program that stays TSR for managing the music CD. I got it from shareware CD ROM, but you can contact the author for a download place. ----------------------------------------------------------- Why this program has been written I just like to listen to music while sitting on my computer. Under Windows (or any other Multitasking Environment for Dos) it is possible to have an Audio CD Player running as a seperate Task. But I just wanted something like this for plain Dos. ----------------------------------------------------------- How to use it To install the program type CDPTSR on the Commandline. If you run the program again, it will remove itself from memory. To call up the status line press the left shift key, the control key and the C key at the same time. The status line will usually pop up at the top line of the display, but it is possibly to move it up and down using the Page Up and Page Down keys. If you want to return to your main program hit the Esc key. The displayed line contains the following information: * Drive status, this may be on of the following: * Open: Door of the CD-Drive is open * Closed: Door is closed * Error * Play status, this may be either Stop or Play * Track info, format is current track/number of tracks * Track time, how much of the current track has been played * Remaining track time * Remaining disc time * Audio volume The following keys can be used while the program is popped up: * O: Open Door * C: Close Door * P: Start playing current track * S: Stop playing * R: Resume playing * Q: Quiet. Set audio volume to 0. Hit Q again to set old volume * Cursor left: play previous track * Cursor right: play next track * Cursor up: Turn audio volume up * Cursor down: Audio volume down * Page up: Move the status line up * Page down: Move the status line down ----------------------------------------------------------- System Requirements and Compability The minimal system requirements are * A PC - compatible system with 8086 CPU, 4.77 MHz * Any Video Adapter * DOS 3.3 * A CD-ROM driver which should be compatible to MSCDEX version 2.10 or higher. Ram requirements are minimal. The program needs about 3.5K of memory after installation. ----------------------------------------------------------- How to contact the Author You may reach me by email under one of the following adresses: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * [EMAIL PROTECTED] =================== I love DOS I hate Doze Alejandro Lieber Rosario Argentina ==================

Well, you <can> get around the "Security, but it's a bit of a pain.. the feature, like the "password" feature, stores the information in a part of the hard-disk, but doesn't "tell" you where. But, you can use a disk-editor, like Norton, to see exactly where the Sector containing the "secret-password-stuff" <is>.. you just have to correlate the hex-stuff in Norton to Physical disk-locations. So, yes, it <can> be done, since I had to retrieve my <own> stuff, that I (arghhh!) "secured", by accident. 2. What I use to fix my 'puter from the "uninvited" is this: 2a. I "encrypt" everything, in a v-disk, before writing-it to the hard-drive.. yes, a 12-year-old could probably break-it, but, it'll frustrate the <dimwit> who is going to steal your laptop. 2b. I have a very-small program that over-writes (zeros) my boot-sector; and when I want to use the machine, I can "restore" (re-write) the boot-sector.. I call it "The Naughting Utility". This is pretty-darn-effective, but, it too can be bypassed.. in the highly-unlikely case your data-thief works for, say, Ontrack. 2c. I also physically shut-off (electically-isolate) <all> of the access-ports with a key-switch.. remember, that parallel/serial/ floppy/modem/keyboard/monitor port is always vulnerable. This "secret-stuff" is from yet another book I never got around to publishing, called "Hard-Core Corporate & Govt. Data Security", which had chapters like: "Bolt It Down", "Rebar & Concrete, Your Friend".. does anyone think it would have sold? Regards, Gregory. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I acquired an IBM Personal System/2 model 70 /386 upon turning it on I get the following messages. 301 8602 162 163 2 beeps a red OK circle with a slash through it = IBM I am led to believe that the 2 beeps is a keyboard error code. It has a ps/2 style connector. I will buy an adapter and try my DIN keyboards on it. Any other suggestions? Loren

I'm not sure of the 8602 error but the 162 and 163 are generally a result of the cmos battery going dead and not keeping the setup info. First go to Walmart, Kmart, etc or a phot supply with the battery in hand and buy a replacement, it's a photo battery. They go for around $10. Once you do this, go to http://members.tripod.com/~ps2page/ and in the PS/2 files you need to download the "reference" disk. It should come to you as RF7080A.EXE. After you have it on yor hard drive, put a 1.44mb floppy in A: and from DOS prompt, type RF7080A A: and answer the few prompts until it tells you to insert a hi density floppy in A:. You should get a 100% complete message and then it telling you how to make another, just hit return to quit. Now you have a setup disk to boot with. You should see a blue and white IBM opening screen and then it should ask about you having a bad battery and if you want to auto configure. Tell it to go ahead. Once done it will reboot but leave the disk in as you'll have to set the date and time. When this is done, exit and let it boot from the hard disk (floppy out). You shouldn't get anymore errors or the "Not OK, see reference" (OK in a slash thing) and if the hard drive is set right you should go to the OS on the hard drive. If you get messages that an adapter in slot # so and so needs a additional info disk then drop me a direct email and I'll go through how to fix that with you.
I've got a 486-based Win95 and a DOS machine that I'd like to get on my network (TCP, 2 Win 98 & 1 Win 95). The cheap (ie readily available) 10BaseT ethernet cards I've tried are all Plug N Play and don't work since the 486 does not support PnP. Is there a source for non-PnP ethernet cards for older,non-PnP machines? Christopher Zguris [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.christopherzguris.com
Heeeeyooo. Does anyone know of a way to cut and paste between open apps within Dos on, say, a 286 with 1 meg of ram? What I'm trying to do is bypass the limitations of the way that Lynx handles form entry--it's kind of unpleasant, especially for any extended writing. Many thanks, Mark Crane

I have a bunch of DFI serial/parallel adapters for sale for $7.50 each ($20 for 3) plus shipping, with docs. They have the Winbond chipset that includes 16550 UARTS and gives you 2 serial and 2 parallel ports. Better than an A/B switch if you run more than one printer, or great if you have a parllel port device like scanner. No more worry about conflicts. Works great under DOS through Win98. I have one in everyone of my 8 bit and 16 bit machines and one in my EISA server. This one is excess and needs a good home Totally setable to whatever you need. The docs (if you want to look at them) are available in PDF format at ftp://ftp.dfiusa.com/multi_io_cards/DIO222/d220830.pdf Full spcifications are shown. Includes 2 9 pin serial and 2 25 pinprinter ports, one of each on the card and one of each on an addtional slot filler, but you can move these to case openings if you desire. Shipping is minmal, probably $3.25 for a couple of them. Also have a couple Intel (and other brands) 14,400 baud internal faxmodems. Windows 95 and 98 see them fine and they work great with Win 3.1 and DOS too. All clean and in great shape. $6 each or 3 for $15 plus shipping. Again, a light item. These work great for someone with an occasional need for internet, send/recv faxes or to use free email or call BBS systems.. These items are for sale to US and APO/FPO addresses only. Shipping to other countries is not cost effective and is a real pain in many cases. I use USPS parcel post, insured unless priority is real close to the same price. Drop me a direct email if interested. Payment by money order only. Ships the same or next day as payment is recieved. These are items I have picked up for other projects and ended up with way too many, these are not connected with a business and are personal sales.
Doh! I just saw a bunch of utilities in simtel. I'll let the list know if they work. Thanks. On Thu, 21 Jan 1999, Mark E.

I am interested in purchasing all 3 cards if they are still available. Let me know the total cost and where to mail the check. Ship it to my daughter, Dianne Bowman at P O Box 1351, Conyngham, PA 18219. Thanks. Jim B.
So, has anyone had any experience with netware lite? Could it be used to manage a 36-station lab?

Hmmmm...that looks really intriguing. Right now I'm fairly overwhelmed by netware 3.11. Also, we can probably scrape up money for a single machine to act as a server. Currently our server is off site, where it is completely ignored and we can't touch it or ever get anything installed. So the combination of local server, plus Dr. Dos with netware lite would really be sweet. Thanks very much for a great post. If we can implement this on our end, you'll have made a real contribution to the learning of a lot of people.

Heh. thanks for the pointer. According to the opendos faq it's free, too, for non-commercial use. Whooooohoooo! I'll let you all know how it works.

>So the combination of local server, plus Dr. Dos with >netware lite would really be sweet. Might I just point out that Personal NetWare (as ships with Novell/Open/DR-DOS 7) and NetWare Lite are *NOT* the same product. NetWare Lite uses a pair of TSRs on each peer server (a single one on workstations) and is a real git to manage AFAIK. Personal NetWare uses the NetWare DOS Requester (VLM) stack and is a helluva lot easier to use. NetWare Lite is now unsupported by Novell IIRC - Personal NetWare has a support group (ng: novell.personalnetware at server forums.novell.com).
