I heard someone say "I hear Apple isn't at this Comdex", so I didn't look. Also, IBM was EVERYWHERE - all kinds of different areas by themselves - multimedia, OEM components (IR LAN, etc), and other things - but not a pure hardware group (PCs, Laptops, etc).

I just received some infor mation from HP on the printer. I have priced the machine around Chicago and come up with about $400.00 off of the SRP. Msg 46292 is 16 line(s) on 06/02/93 from NORB DEMBINSKI to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: SOUND ADAPTERS Ward: Has IBM anything new in the audio card area? What I am looking for is something that would be Sound Blaster/Adlib compatible and paly WAVE files. The card would have an adapter for connecting a CD-ROM audio line onto the card internally, have a MIC and AUX input, speaker output ( amp- plified or not) and joystick port. The Sound Blaster that I have hangs my MS Windows when sarting up in Enhanced mode. I have to start Windos in Standard Mode, quit Windows, then restart Windows in enhanced mode. Creative Labs is of no hlep and points the finger at Microsoft and IBM. Microsoft points the finger at Creative Labs and IBM says it is not their problem. I have never had a problem with IBM for support or service. Microsoft has been good to me so far. Creative Labs I don't trust any more, that is why I am looking for an IBM card. I know what I will be getting and can sleep at night.

Msg 46295 is 07 line(s) on 06/02/93 from ERIC BOHLMAN to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/AN INNOVATION.? Another possibility is that when you had two outputs connected together, one of them was able to sink enough current from the other to alter internal thresholds in the driver/receiver chip (assuming it was one chip with both, rather than the old 1488 and 1489). Maybe the chip was sourcing enough current into its ground to alter the reference points (similar to a TTL counter double-counting because the first count created a current spike). Msg 46296 is 10 line(s) on 06/03/93 from EDWARD MARSH to BILL MATTSON re: R/FRIMWARE Yes I recieved the packet of information and it is the best thing that you could have ever done for me. I really am surprise on how much trouble I put you through. I hope I can return the favor sometime. The info gives me a base to work from. I don't have to start from sratch. This is going to save time effort and trouble. My only problem is during the debugging stage, since I can't afford a decent emulator, will be pain- ful and very time consuming. If you have any bright idea's throw them my way. This project is going to be rough enough. (please excuse my lousy sepellign) thank you very much :) Msg 46297 is 07 line(s) on 06/03/93 from ANDY SHAPIRO to WARD re: NOT THAT INNOVATIVE Cute, but, alas, no. The innovation, in this case, was merely having a single batch of wires going to the machine. Induction would be a cute trick, but I can see that resulting in LOTS of problems :-]. For me, the weird thing was realizing that you COULD put a wire inside the coil cord without having to slide it through end to end. It's like those 2-or-3-prong fork optical illusions. dup. chars. >Function:?
