- JL> mikenet: this looks to be the newest of the shareware lot, but the .arj
- JL> file at umich has 3 files, but the docs hint of more.
- I think you might be missing MKNT.TTP using which you can change the Mikenet
- setup via command line (you could change over partition setup at the start of a
- certain shell-script that needs a partition, that you usually do not need)...

- JL> It runs fine on the mega but gives 3 bombs on the 1040... any ideas at all
- JL> on this one?
- I had a problem like this in the beginning and got a solution suggestion from
- Mike that should work (even I chose another way of getting around this).
-
- MikeNet works with 32MB BGM partitions, but there is a small think you have to
- look at, to get it work properly.
- As I understand from your description, you can access 1040-partitions from
- your Mega, but not vice versa. I think that your harddisc on the Mega contains
- (at least one) BGM-partition, while the 1040 doesn't have such a partition.
- -> Problem: Due to the BGM partition on the Mega, the "max logical sector
- size" of the Mega is set to 2048bytes, while on the 1040 this
- limit is set to the "normal" 1024 bytes.
- When Mikenet sends data from the Mega to your 1040 it sends
- 2048-byte sectors - a size, that the 1040 cannot handle as
- long as its max sector size is 1024.
- -> Solution #1: Set the Max sector size on the 1040 to the same value as
- on the Mega (ICD-Boot could do this).
- -> Solution #2: Change over your partition layout with BGM partitions on
- either *BOTH* or *NONE* of your computers.
-
- Hope it helps...
