Yes and Yes The schematic is the one I mentioned in a previous post as
being on my website at:
http://members.aol.com/wa8lmf/miscinfo
Look for the file KPC3plus_Schematic.zip
It was provided as a tabloid (11" x 17") page folded into quarters and
inserted into the manual for the KPC3+.
The HC11 chip in my KPC3+ is a MC68HC11F1CFN3.
The modem is a TDK 73M223

The KPC3+ uses the MC68HC11F1N3. The modem chip used in the 3+ until now
has been the TDK73M223 which has also gone obsolete. Kantronics has started
shipping a newer version of the 3+ which uses the MX604 modem chip.

On the plus side: I started it, and it came up with a working but small
Precision Map 3.0 window as set up in my old configuration! Is this normal?
(Win ME, 256 meg RAM)
On the negative side: Saved the configuration with a Tiger map open, and
restarted Winaprs. Got a "Configuration not finished for window" error, and
a xxxx.pdb map for the same location opened in its place! Is that normal?

Looks good. Works as advertised so far. Tiger maps look nice. Thanks for the
free update.

Another way of looking at it is if you are willing to learn and take
some time all of the upgrading is a bonus to us as "cheap" hams. I have
taken 3 PC's that I was going to trash and 1 PC given to me and put them
all to work this past month alone for the cost of ONE hard drive.
There are plenty of 233 MMX PC's out there quite often for free with a
2gb HD and 64 or 128meg of memory now that is worthless in the way of
speed for Win2K and just can not be used on XP. If you have a high speed
connection 4 hours or so of downloading and you can have a full install
of Linux that will bring these back to life. One of my old ones is a
firewall now, another is a HTTP server, another one is a mail server (in
progress) and the next may be just to try other verisons of Linux other
than RedHat or for a dedicated aprsd gateway. Some linux ham programs
and firewall programs can run on as little as a P90 with 16 megs of ram
and a 300 MB hard drive.
I am using Xastir on my fancy machine due to more than 20gb of Tiger
Maps and more needed memory but I could make that a gateway but that is
my choice. I'd rather install a small package of Xastir or aprsd on a
old low memory computer and stick it in the garage without a monitor or
keyboard and forget about it.
So yes people change PC's and we can also if we want to keep up with the
Jones's but we can also collect treasures and have fun for little to no
money.

Gents,
I have a linux perl script that listens on port 10153 for other computer,
UI-VIEW to connect to.
On connect, LINUX replays the big IGATE log file I have captured to UI-VIEW
on port 10153.
Does anyone know how I can fork the PERL server to allow more than one
connection ?
