Hi, now that I got your attention I was hoping you would be so kind as to lend me your experience/expertise on several topics I have been mulling over recently. Let me first qualify myself as the proud owner of a NeXT Color Turbo Station w/ 250Mb HD and 16Mb Ram, if it makes any difference. 1) Is there a graphics library package which can be linked with C programs allowing pixel placement (similar to Borland C++ getpixel() and putpixel() routines)? I guess I would like to open a 640x480 window, background originally set to something, and fill it in pixel-by-pixel. 2) Where is the swapfile? 3) Is there a monitor-screen cover so it doen't get scatched? 4) I want to add more RAM in the smallest increments necessary but insuring I can add up to 32Mb without ever having to take out a SIMM. 5) How do I change SoftPCv2.0's harddrive size to say 30Mb? Also, how do I get it to recognize to A> drive. Now, when I go to Preferences and choose Floppy A: and select Internal, it comes back with " Cannot gain access to the real floppy device. Check permissions on /dev/rfd0b" -- which is currenly crw-r----- 1 root. When I become root and try it again it returns: "Unable to open floppy device: possibly empty drive?" 6) I would like to connect my Hayes compatable modem and dot matrix printer... Please e-mail me at KeNT.Virginia.Edu /* Thanks! */
