Sorry for the outage. Thanks for coming back. Msg 46352 is 10 line(s) on 07/13/93 from BENJAMIN COHEN to ANDY SHAPIRO re: R/PS Well, no, I don't REALLY want to buy another Geneva; I have two now, both with Dvorak keyboard on the system ROM, one with the 120K RAM disk and one with the combo 64K RAM disk and the modem. I have ZDE 1.6 in ROM! But another one, especially if the batteries are down, would not be a lot of use. Besides, I've never been able to get them to talk to my DOS machines, so when I do take notes I have to bring the machine home and hook it up to an Exec (actually, I still have an Exec hidden somewhere at the office; I suppose I should set it up just for this - or would it be ecologically and economically sound to do some writing on it? I'm sure it uses a LOT less electricity than my 386-40! Msg 46353 is 11 line(s) on 07/13/93 from EDWARD MARSH to ANDY SHAPIRO re: R/ELECTRICAL QUESTION Andy, most of the conduit in your building should be ground. It is very easy to check using an OHM meter, and some wire. If the conduit is not at ground (assuming your building has metal conduit), then you have some kind of rupture in the conduit. Try several boxes in your apartment. I'll bet at leased one box will have some kind of metal condut link to the main breaker box. The main breaker box can be used as a gournd (earth). You can check other possiblities such as using an isolation transformer and try to establish your own ground, but this is a costly soulution. Running a seperate ground wire down to the building fuse box will be expesive also. Msg 46354 is 17 line(s) on 07/14/93 from ANDY SHAPIRO to BENJAMIN COHEN re: R/PS Well, it has working batteries. I think it's found a home, tho - I now have a Zenith 386sx notebook to replace it. You've NEVER got it talking to a PC? It's EASY. Use the serial printer cable and (if you have it) the DAKCOM software. Plug the printer cable's 25-pin end into a 25 pin serial port on your PC (or a 9-to-25 adaptor, etc). Startup DAKCOM on the Geneva and set it up for EXTERNAL MODEM, HIGH SPEED (19.2 kbps). Get a comm program set up at 19.2 kbps on the PC, talking to the port into which you have plugged the Geneva. You're set. Now, on the Geneva, type SX followed by your filename and a return. It'll start an Xmodem transfer (checksum, I think). Start an Xmodem receive on the PC and yer done. I've been doing this for YEARS! With DSZ, you don't even need a comm program on the PC - just aim DSZ at the appropriate port and tell it the speed. I tell ya - it's getting hard to remember all this CP/M stuff.
