However announcements of any new software/hardware related to the MM/1 is welcomed. Just so long as prices are not quoted. It is up to the vendor to contact the potential customer or the customer to contact vendor direct. Personal forsale and wanted msgs are permitted as long as a seller at least includes an asking price and his tel. number.

So...once I add up how many of how big devices I expect to end up with, and measure the slot in the desk that's intended to hold such cases, I'm going to order one. Here's the thing: I also plan to set up to run UUCP here shortly, and once I do that, it means that to be a good boy I need to have my system up reliably at night to keep batched news and mail from accumulating on the site nice enough to feed me. (Hmmm...perhaps "audrey2" would be a good name... :-) So, the plan is to get everything prepared, holes drilled and all, so that the actual move can take place in a jiffy and the nighttime scheduled uucicos can occur undisturbed. So...any advice on how to do this would be welcome. Of particular use would be the info on the spacing of holes for the standoff insulators that support the boards, the spacing between the boards, any stuff I need to look out for in buying a case, will I need to snarf ribbon cable and connectors to extend paddleboard cables, how to extend non paddleboard connectors. (Am I overlooking anything? :-) Thanks! --- RiBBS v2.10 * Origin: Ocean Beach BBS 619-224-4878 MM1 TECH moderator (1:202/745) Public Message Message # 2558 *MM1 TECH Echo* To : All From : Warren Hrach Subject : RiBBS_OSK beta release Date : 95/01/06 12:00:34 For all those that have expressed an interest in getting the RiBBS_OSK beta disk, it is ready !. To get this BBS software just send me a 3.5" floppy, preferably formatted for 5920 sectors (dmode sct=37, t0s=37). In a returnable mailer with return postage included (I am retired and have limited income). It is currently working on the MM/1 w/3 meg mem. 68070 CPU and Kwindows specific. Current testing is with the windio53 but also works with windio52. John A Donaldson is the programmer and Randy Wilson is doing the assem. parts. Calvin Dodge and myself are the only beta sysops so far. Future plans are for converting to C and it will become a commercial package by Blackhawk Enterprises. It should also be able to incorporate the latest Fido compatable mailers when converted to C. Additionally it will be able to incorporate a shell out to the UUCP login which is currently working on the MM/1 (using it now). 'RiBBS to Go' for the CoCo OS9 is also available from me. If interested send me E-Mail.

I have been spending all my time on that screen print program, and havn't done anything more with the Battleship game. Now that I have the screen print working, I'll get back on Battleship. Any ideas on things you would like to see in the program ? I would really like to add sound effects to it, but I will have to search around for some battle sounds already recorded, I have some sound effect cd's, but I wasn't getting clean, noise free copies when trying to record them on my MM/1.

To add : Clyde - I never received the original message here - just Warren's reply, so it seems apparent we have another FidoFault in action. The company responsible for the development is BlackHawk Enterprises, Inc. We are working in conjuction with the Computer Science Department of Oklahoma State University in Stillwater Oklahoma. Dr. Blayne Mayfield is the department head. You may diseminate this information where and when you please, and I am looking for other investors.

OS-9 developers along this line should take a look at the group of programs in the DOS world called AccessDOS, which include very useful utilities for people with hearing or movement impairments. Included in this package are all three Dvorak keyboard templates, left-handed, right-handed and two-handed, to be used with the MS-DOS KEYB.COM . PLEASE pass along this challenge to developers to write an OS-9 driver, or program, that would allow command-line configuration of "standard" hardware in the setup file, and also specific keyboard input that would switch the console keyboard from the remapped arrangement back to the Sholes ("standard Qwerty") arrangement. The DOS Dvorak.SYS does this with Ctrl/Alt/F1 = back to Qwerty; Ctrl/Alt/F2 = Dvorak. From within DOS, this free remapper works better than some shareware programs that want registration, and on machines that belong to me but that a non-Dvorak typist might need to type on, my present KeyTronic KB101Plus Professional Series with Dvorak Keyboard firmware is a BEAR to get in and twiddle the dipswitches. (Brian White's KeyTime keyboard with a hardware hot-button was much nicer.) I can't (won't) switch back, and I really NEED the remapper programs.
