Abstract

The tips in this issue's column are directed to users of the WYSEpc 286 Model 2112, manufactured by Wyse Technology of San Jose, CA, a.k.a. the OCLC M310 Workstation. The M310 Workstation comes with an “enhanced” version of the MS DOS operating system. This version of DOS contains some interesting new commands that correspond to special features of the M310 hardware. Let's take a look.

Abstract

The keyboard connector on the back of the M310 Workstation is an RJ‐11 socket (telephone type). The WYSE PC‐enhanced keyboard that comes with the Workstation has a matching RJ‐11 plug attached to the keyboard. Although the keyboard socket on the Workstation looks like a telephone jack, DO NOT plug a phone into the connector; you may damage the system unit and/or the phone line.

For $44.95 a day, you can rent a Zenith SupersPort 286, 286e, or the 80386‐based SupersPort SX or a Macintosh portable from LapStop Corp. at Avis rental counters in Logan, O’Hare, Newark, and Washington National and Dulles airports. The computers come with Lotus 1–2–3, WordPerfect, and Microsoft Works and have internal modems. You can also rent printers and fax machines for an additional $22.95 per day, each.

Abstract

OCLC Terminal Software (version 4.0) ran only on machines with monochrome display adapters—computers that can produce no color and no graphics. A computer with an Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) ran the software only with a monochrome monitor and couldn't display the OCLC character set. The Cataloging Micro Enhancer (version 3.0) couldn't work at all with an EGA system, so it couldn't work on the M310 Workstation.

Abstract

Considers the solutions to the problems caused by the installation of a new M310 Workstation. Describes the creation of “OLD”, a series of batch files allowing the user to save edited CAT ME records for later reuse. Surmises that other variations are available, depending on needs.

Abstract

OCLC has had many inquiries about whether microcomputers with hard disk drives should be turned off at the end of each day. When the M300 Workstation was introduced, OCLC recommended that the unit be left on except for long periods of non‐use (for example, holiday week‐ends). That recommendation was based on longstanding experience with the 1XX terminals, which have no moving parts.

Abstract

A small academic library in northeastern Ohio, with monograph holdings of about 85,000 titles, serving a student population of about 1,000, recently asked Marsha Hunt of OHIONET to perform a hit rate study on CAT CD450 using a representative sample of their collection to determine if this product might be useful in their retrospective conversion effort. The 100‐title sample included older books on such diverse subjects as religion, Ohio history, and business writing. Marsha found 77 of the 100 titles—a 77% hit rate. Of the 77, 16 were DLC/DLC input, 45 were DLC/member input, 14 were of unknown origin/member input, and 2 were original record/member input. Anyone interested in receiving a list of the titles searched can contact me.

Abstract

Even if you're a new user of MS‐DOS microcomputers, you've probably seen a key marked Num Lock somewhere on your keyboard. Num Lock (for Numeric Lock) causes the dual‐purpose numeric keypad on the right side of most MS‐DOS keyboards to generate numbers (when Num Lock is ON) or to control cursor or other screen movement (when Num Lock is OFF). Certain MS‐DOS computers always boot up with Num Lock set to ON. This is probably the way you want it set if you do lots of numeric data input, but many microcomputer programs use the cursor control keys (Left and Right Arrows, Home, End, etc.) for everything from menu selection to viewing documents. To run these programs, you probably want Num Lock to be OFF. Sure, lots of keyboards (including the standard M310 Workstation keyboard) repeat the cursor control keys elsewhere on the keyboard, but some users (including myself) are very familiar with the placement and “feel” of the cursor control keys that are shared with the numeric keypad.
