Article: 9851> Microsoft has just run its most recent WInHEC (Windows Hardware > Engineering Conference). Moth Microsoft and Intel are pushing a closed > box approach both now and in the long term. Part of it has to do with > reducing the cost of administration, part to do with locking Intel and > microsoft into the PC lonmg term. They can have all the conferences they want. There is a strong contingent outside MS and Intel that doesn't want this. I'm not saying it won't happen, but I believe it will take longer than you think, and that it will not be as smooth as they would like you to believe. Anyway, since when does Microsoft know diddly about hardware? They may think they do, but history and fact has borne it self out that they don't. Microsoft still can't even get software right...look at W95 and IE 3...they both are crash happy. The only thing MS did right was hire Dave Cutler from DEC to do NT, which, is a very good OS (he did VMS, which was a truly good OS). The best they did before him was MS-DOS (hardly a technological feat, purely a marketing phenomenon) and W31 (it speaks for it self...not a real technological feat, but hardly consistently usable...). Intel 'hired' away from DEC two of the designers of the Alpha, and until that, the 486 was their best effort at a processor. The best thing Intel had going for it before this were exceptional fabs, the ability to cram a ton of transistors on the die. Now, at least, they have some real technology in their processors, still quite clunky though. Personally, the PII is a joke, and I hope lives a short life, and dies quickly. The PPro was far better, but due to manufacturing difficulties, was not a cash cow for Intel, and as we know, Intel only likes cash cows, not technological innovation. > Intel is aggressively moving to > dominate the PC market from processors to chipsets to graphics chips to > motherboards. You are absolutely correct. > Now the vast majority of motherboards ship > with Intel chipsets. I am not impressed by their processors, but their system board chip sets are very well done. > As far as Microsoft and Intel are concerned the ISA slot is dead. Well, I have to disagree in the short term. There are NO PCI modems. Also, PCMCIA is basically the same as ISA, and there are still toooo many cards out there that support ISA. So, again, despite the propaganda machine, it will take longer than you think. > Lets see. Most new PCs ship with an Intel Motherboard because their > designers have acccess to the chip designs before anybody else. Which is against the law, but when has that ever kept Intel and Microsoft from doing it? AustinArticle: 9852
P.S. > With the extremely short product life cycle of most PCs (most > designs disappear within 2 years), An interesting statement....but wait. If you claim the life of a PC is two years...they why is there any maintenance problem? I don't believe for a second that their intention is to do away with maintenance problems....it is to put all the aftermarket companies out of business. Also, a closed system won't work. What do you do for networking cards, how about modem technology changes? What about a graphics accelerator? Those can't go on USB or firewire (1G Ethernet...). This entier concept of a closed box with no slots is short sighted. A notebook is a closed box, yet they still have PCMCIA/CardBus slots...for what? Even the notebooks with buildin Ethernet and modems still have these slots. > For them it makes sense to fit the tried and tested Intel board. That's a joke. I have seem more bugs and bad design practices in the Intel boards than any other boards. Intel even violates the PCI spec on almost all their PCI cards. We spend weeks tracking down the source of an EMI problem because they used immature PC designers who put the RS-232 driver on the opposite side of the board as the connector, and ran the 10M Ethernet signals parallel to them. Their system board designs are bad at best.Article: 9853

Austin, At one point I had 5 parallel port keys on my system. Not once have they ever caused a problem or any sort. That doesn't mean I agree with the hardkey concept, but that I see no reason to find an alternative, other than elimination.

Austin, Intel is probably the largest manufacturer of motherboards there is. They "contract" the actual manufacturing out to anyone who wants to do it by publishing complete documents on how to copy their boards. They also are the largest producer of chipsets for the PC. Therefor what they say goes. A year or so ago the estimate was that Intel was directly or indirectly responsible for nearly 50% of ALL PC compatible motherboards produced. Microsofts involvement is that they are steering the OS to conform to the path Intel wants to take. You don't have to take my word for it. Look at what's happening. Don't argue with me now, call me in two years. The JEDEC standards for SDRAM were already established. Intel wrote a spec for the requirements of SDRAM in order to be compatible with their future products that required lower numbers for several parameters. The memory manufacturers have been complying. Tell me Intel is not running the show.

All they have to do is have a design completed and make it available at the same time as the compatible CPu and chipset are ready. That gives those who do it the "Intel" way a 3-6 month lead over those who want to do it themselves. I don't disagree that the ISA and PCI slot will not go away as quickly as Intel and Microsoft want it to, but that is only because third parites will keep it alive. But, with an OS like NT you need special drivers to talk to hardware. If Microsoft doesn't provide them, somebody else must. How many small companies could afford to do that? As to the cards you mentioned. The graphics will be built into the CPU, probably as a auxilliary port. Disk controllers are already on the motherboard as are two serial and one parallel port. Some have 10/100 baseT built-in. With USB and Firewire (a dud technology that needs to die before birth), Fibre Channel or Gigabit Eithernet would be a much better choice, you can build a system with anything you want without ever opening the box.

Summer Job for Students: Make over 500$ a week
I MADE JUST THAT! Don't believe it? Then stop reading, otherwise go on!!
Did you ever wanted to live the good live? Be able to afford the nicer
things in live?
I have got it now! Do you want to know how I did it? Well, here it is:
I am a German immigrant that came to this country with almost nothing.
I found a job and worked my butt off only to find that the American
Dream could not be realized this way. The purchase of a computer changed
everything. I came across an article that said you could make
thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of
$6.00! Well, I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam, how stupid
can one be to fall for that?"
But I was curious, so I kept reading. I AM GLAD I DID. Anyway, it said
that you send
$1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then
place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and
post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. No catch, that was it. The
main difference between this system and others is that you have a
mailing
list of 6 instead of 5... This means that your average gain will be app.
15 times higher!!!
So after thinking it over, I thought about trying it. I figured what
have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00?
If you are worried about the legal aspects of it all, check it out with
the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161). It is legal! I invested the
$6.00.............
Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the
mail! I was amazed! I figured it would end soon, but it didn't. The
money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $20.00 to
$30.00 dollars. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over
$1,050.00!!! In the third week I had over $11,000.00 and it's still
growing. This is now my fourth month and I have made a total of just
over $347,000.00 and it's still coming in.......
It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I spent more than that on the
lottery!! (and I never won a single penny doing that!)
Let me tell you how this works and also, make sure you print a copy of
this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need
it. The process is very simple and consists of 3 easy steps. You may
wonder why I tell you this? It's only possible with your desire to
become wealthy too. So go for it!
This system REALLY works. It worked for me so far!!
Here are the steps:
STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US$1.00
bills (or equivalent in your local currency) and place ONE inside EACH
of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the
envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 6
envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each
with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address,
and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by this. THIS
IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!
Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
#1 J. GoodrichJ. Goodrich
957 Sells Ave
Columbus, OH 43212
#2 L.D. Salmanson
barak 7
Jerusalem
Israel
#3 A.Puga
88 Doucet
Hull, Quebec
J8Y 5P1, Canada
#4 D.Shores
2343 LLoyd Rd.
Knoxville, Md 21758
#5 B. Keele
55 S. Yorktown Rd.
Macomb, Il 61455
#6 M. Johnson
20715 Jersey Mills Place
Ashburn, VA 20147
STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as
number 6 on the list.
STEP 3: Change anything you need to. Now, post your amended article to
at least 200 newsgroups. (There is a bunch out there). All you need is
200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! Don't
know HOW to post in the newsgroups? Well do exactly the following:
-----------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTIONS - HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS
-----------------------------------------------------------
Step 1. You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and
click and hold down your mouse button. While
continuing to hold down the mouse button, drag your cursor to the bottom
of this document and over to just after the last character, and release
the mouse button. At this point the entire
letter should be highlighted. Then, from the 'edit' pull down menu at
the top of your screen select 'copy'. This will copy the entire letter
into the computers memory.
Step 2. Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of
the blank page. From the 'edit' pull down menu select 'paste'. This will
paste a copy of the letter into notepad so
that you can add your name to the list. Remember to eliminate the #1
position, move everyone up a spot (re-number everyone else's positions),
and add yourself in as #6.
Step 3. Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do
your postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go
back to.
----------------------------------------
FOR NETSCAPE USERS:
----------------------------------------
Step 4. Within the Netscape program, go to the pull down window
entitled 'Window' select 'NetscapeNews'. Then from the pull down menu
'Options', select 'Show all Newsgroups'. After a few moments a list of
all the newsgroups on your server will show up. Click on any newsgroup
you desire. From within this newsgroup, click on the 'TO NEWS' button,
which should be in the top left corner of the newsgroups page. This will
bring up a message box.
Step 5. Fill in the Subject. This will be the header that everyone sees
as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group.
Step 6. Highlight the entire contents of your .txt file and copy them
using the same technique as before. Go back to the newsgroup 'TO NEWS'
posting you are creating and paste the letter into the body of your
posting.
Step 7. Hit the 'Send' Button in the upper left corner. You're done
with your first one! Congratulations...
--------------------------------------------------
INTERNET EXPLORER USERS:
--------------------------------------------------
Step 4. Go to newsgroups and select 'Post an Article'.
Step 5. Fill in the subject.
Step 6. Same as #6 above
Step 7. Hit the 'Post' button.
-------------------------------------------
THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post
away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for
each newsgroup!
**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL
MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin
receiving money from around the world within day's! You may eventually
want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you receive. If
you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a
name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE
ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings,
say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00
with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just
sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each
with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original
5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM
posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an
additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the
MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will
make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those
625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each
only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125
persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at
#1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive
$15,625,00! With a original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! And as I
said 5 responses is actually VERY LOW! Average is probable 20 to 30! So
lets put those figures at just 15 responses per person. Here is what you
will make:
at #6 $15.00
at #5 $225.00
at #4 $3,375.00
at #3 $50,625.00
at #2 $759,375.00
at #1 $11,390,625.00
When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the
list, putting your name at number 6 again( That's what I am doing), and
start posting again. The thing to remember is, do you realize that
thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and
reading these
articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $6.00 and
see if it
really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is
played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances
of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest
people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are
willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users,
every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet.
Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. You just have to
be honest.
Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW, also. Try to keep a list
of everyone that sends you money and always keep an eye on the
newsgroups to make sure everyone is playing fairly. Remember, HONESTY IS
THE BEST POLICY. You don't need to cheat the basic idea to make the
money!!
GOOD LUCK to all and please play fairly and reap the huge rewards from
this, which is tons of extra CASH.
**BY THE WAY, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages with
your name in the list and not sending the money to the rest of the
people already on the list, you will NOT get as much. Someone I talked
to knew someone who did that and he only made about $150.00, and that's
after seven or eight weeks! Then he sent the 6 $1.00 bills, people added
him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had over $10k. This is the
fairest and most honest way I have ever seen to share the wealth of the
world without costing anything but our time!!! You also may want to buy
mailing and e-mail lists for future dollars. Please remember to declare
your extra income. Thanks once again...
Article: 9858I've got 6.0.0, and 6.0.1, but neither of them contain the correct file versions for this patch (for instance, my 6.0.0 and 6.0.1 PPRs are dated 23/10/95 and 28/6/96, respectively, instead of 14/6/96, and all three of them are different sizes). Presumably "6.01" was an intermediate version - does anyone know?? Is there anyone out there who has the correct files, and would let me install from them? I'm in East Anglia (UK). Thanks - qr86@dial.pipex.comArticle: 9859
Stephen, here's a simple implementation of a shift register:
shift_register : PROCESS (rst_n, clk)
BEGIN -- PROCESS shift_register
IF (rst_n='0') THEN
data <= (OTHERS => '0');
ELSIF (clk'event AND clk='1') THEN
data(0) <= data_in;
data(19 DOWNTO 1) <= data(18 DOWNTO 0);
END IF;
END PROCESS shift_register;
I've synthesized this into an xc4025e.

NT drivers aren't that hard to do, and people do them all the time. Actually, most of the drivers AREN'T written by Microsoft, they only distribute them with their OS. > As to the cards you mentioned.

This sounds like a liberal Democratic agenda...the state will take care of you and give you what you want....and what ever it is we give you will be what you want. Personally, I don't buy into it, and I doubt most will. There may be more than one type of PC, the home idiot PC that is a closed box (no disagreement there) and the PC for those that don't want a closed box, but my point is there will always be a PC that isn't a closed box available. > Disk controllers are already on the motherboard > as are two serial and one parallel port.

You're back in the Apple Mac days now....and like I said, it will fail, as the closed Mac did. It depends on your definition of 'open the box'. We will always need expansion slots to change modems, network cards and graphics controllers, plus any other things that come up... These can not run over USB or FireWire...the data rate just isn't there. An expansion slot can be an externally plugable card, but they will be there. You know, over the year people were hesitant to buy anything that couldn't be expandable (remember the CPU upgrade sockets...) even though most never upgraded... AustinArticle: 9861

For those of you interested in FPGA-based computing, my survey on reconfigurable computing appears in this month's Proceedings of the IEEE. The abstract and other information are given below. S. Hauck, "The Roles of FPGAs in Reprogrammable Systems", Proceedings of the IEEE, Vol. 86, No. 4, pp. 615-639, April 1998. Abstract: FPGA-based reprogrammable systems are revolutionizing some forms of computation and digital logic. As a logic emulation system they provide orders of magnitude speedup over software simulation. As a custom-computing machine they achieve the highest performance implementation for many types of applications. As a multi-mode system they yield significant hardware savings and provide truly generic hardware. In this paper we discuss the promise and problems of reprogrammable systems. This includes an overview of the chip and system architectures of reprogrammable systems, as well as the applications of these systems. We also discuss the challenges and opportunities of future reprogrammable systems. Scott Hauck Northwestern University, Evanston, IL. USA hauck@ece.nwu.eduArticle: 9866

OK. I see that Digikey these parts in single unit quantity for around US$5. What about the software to program them? I know that there is a 4 CD "free" set of software that Xilinx is offering -- but I'm a student and I don't think they will send a sales rep over to my dorm room to had me this stuff. Where can I get software for the XC9500 series? I have XABEL-CPLD 6.10 but that is good only for the XC4000 parts. I want the ISP feature of the XC9500. Thanks.Article: 9870
Martin, I am not sure what you mean by do it yourself. If you use the 7000S series, lowest cost and fastest speed grades in any case as they are the newest, you can use the byte blaster to program them in circuit. If you mean programming tools, go to www.altera.com and search for PLS-WEB. That is a trial version (6 months?) which will compile for more 7000 series devices.

You are saying they must release the documentation before they ship the product. I was told 20-25 years ago that Kodak had such restrictions placed on them, but I haven't heard that about Intel. I didn't think it was a good idea then and I still don't now. There are plenty of companies with the resources to go up against Intel if they wanted to. Samsung, Hitachi, etc. DEC could have done it if they hadn't had a bonehead running the Alpha marketing. IBM could if they wanted to, but even the PowerPC has died in that regard. AMD, Cypress and IDT have contenders for the mid to low end markets. Once they get better established, such as when Intel goes closed box and the others don't, they might be able to move into the mainstream high end.

EXHIBITION, WORKSHOP AND WORK-IN-PROGRESS SESSIONS
Exhibition and Show: RTSS '98 will include an industrial exhibition in
a centrally located space, for vendors to demonstrate state-of-the-art
systems, development tools and applications; where RTSS attendees can
engage in technical discussions with product engineers and developers;
and where company representatives meet (and potentially recruit) young
researchers specializing in real-time and embedded systems. To reserve
space for the exhibition, please contact the RTSS '98 Industrial
Chair, Dr. Alan Burns (burns@minster.cs.york.ac.uk).
Workshop: RTSS '98 will co-host a workshop on December 1, 1998,
directly before the conference. The focus of the workshop will be a
"hot topic" of special interest to researchers and developers of
real-time systems. Recent RTSS workshops were on topics such as
Middleware/APIs (1997) and Multimedia Systems (1996). More information
on the 1998 workshop topic will be announced shortly, and publicized
on the conference home page.
Work-in-Progress Session: As in previous years, RTSS '98 will include
a Work-In-Progress (WIP) session, featuring short presentations on new
and evolving work. Accepted WIP papers will be included in a special
proceedings, and distributed to RTSS'98 conference participants. The
proceedings will then be published electronically on the IEEE-CS
TC-RTS Home Page. WIP papers will be due approximately one month
before the Symposium.
