This was typographically correct when I created it... the garbage is due to


After being offline for a week due to cutting the plug off my CM-8 and
replacing it with a DB-9, I'm baaaaaack!!

Coupla questions been burning for a while:

  1. Anybody got their I/O board yet?
     a. What kind of SCSI drive did you hook up to it?
  2. Anybody been able to select different fonts from the .BITMAP dir?
     I've tried all sorts of combinations of 'merge fontname.fnt', but
     stdfonts never seems to grow, and dump output never changes.
  3. Anybody gotten PCF working?  or have any ideas short of uploading
     30M worth of data to CIS and  tthen downloading to the MM/1?  File
     transfer with 3 computers and 2 monitors will be a cchallenge!!
     Preferred method would be PCCDOS to 5 1/4" from the CoCo and
     copy to 3.5" on the IBM, then PCF to the MM/1.
  4. Anybbody using DiamondScan or NEC monitors?  Is the improvement in
     resolution worth the cost of the new tube?
  5. Anybody gotten 'playm' to work yet?  All I get is a 237 error -
     "out of ram".
  6. Occasionally the computer will boot with a really weird colorset. mon
dTryingg   to setimmee oon a wwhhite on pale greeeen scrreenn isn't easy!
     Doing a plt restores the original colors.  Question is: what
     causes the palette controller to not reset to a known state?

  One final question that doesn't deserve a number as it's kinda rhetorical -
does ANYBODY actually LIKE uMACS or EMACS??  And here I thought VM/XEDIT was
arcane and cryptic!  Looks like Bob V. will do a land-office business as more
people get their systems. 

 Later....
 that doesn't deser ve a numb
