The 1.44M Web Challenge
demo...@qnx.com
Subject: The 1.44M Web Challenge
The challenge: Put a Web browser, a web server, a POSIX-certified
realtime OS, TCP/IP and a windowing system on a single 1.44 Mbyte
floppy disk.
Impossible?
QNX Software Systems Ltd. announces the QNX Demo Disk (downloadable
from http://www.qnx.com/iat/). This single 1.44 Mbyte floppy disk
contains:
1. Voyager Web Browser (Full HTML 3.2, frames, tables, etc.)
2. Voyager Embedded Web Server
3. The QNX Realtime Operating System
4. TCP/IP (with PPP including CHAP/PAP support)
5. Photon microGUI Windowing System
6. A "remote control" device to simulate a TV set top box
7. An Internet Phone Dialer
8. A Graphical File Browser
9. A Graphical Text Editor
10. A Vector Graphics Animation
11. Over 180 Kbytes of HTML and image content
With this floppy disk and a desktop PC, you can browse the web or
turn that PC into a web server accessible to other computers on the
Internet.
To download a copy, visit the http://www.qnx.com/iat/ website. To
run the demodisk, you'll need a PC with a 386 or better, 6 Mbytes
of RAM minimum, a mouse, VGA or better video and, optionally, a
modem.
A floppy drive is required, but the hard drive is not. :-)

VERY nice!!!!! Very straightforward WEB server. How have security issues
been handled? Is there any problem using a cgi form to access the dynamic
html pages?

Now all we need is for someone to hack it so that it is accessible
from a full QNX installation for those of us who are forced to use
character mode shells because our bosses wouldn't buy Photon for us!
("Hmph - the Unix shell was good enough for my Grandad, so it's good
enough for you!").
Not that I would condone hacking, or even think about the merest
possibility that the suggestion of such a thought would begin to
contemplate crossing my mind.....
Seriously though. It puts the 30+ disks of Windows 95 into
perspective! Well done!

Hah! Actually, a single copy of the Photon runtime is quite inexpensive.

The web server on the demodisk is not overly complex (no cgi-bin scripts,
for example). Most QNX sites run either Apache (for high-end
functionality) or one of the smaller web servers available from
ftp.qnx.com. The next version of the demodisk will do more in this regard.

Hmm, but demodisk contains everything required to see it, including Photon,
isn't it?
If you need to see its contents from another machine, there is a web
server. Unfortunately, that SockPPP does not support Ethernet, so you must
use null modem :-)
Alternatively, you can use any browser to steal contents from that web
server and store it in more convinient place. Then use Lynx from that nice
Unix shell :-)

Done well, but it does not compete with 30+ disks of Win95. There were a
bit more contents :-)
However, the same contents would be unlikely possible to fit into a single
floppy using Win95.

Help!!
I think people at QNX done a good job on this challenge.(I think
MS_Bill has something to worry about) I try it on 3 diffrient computers
and I have a litter problem with all 3 of them. 1st problem is the setup
didn't find my mouse on Com1. I can still get it to work with my
keyboard. The 2nd system is a Sony with Intel DSVD modem and the OS
can't find the modem. The 3rd system is a Compaq Presario (Pice of shit)
SOB can't even boot up. It load till 99% and stop! I think if you are
trying to run anything other than windows95 on the Compaq U are out of
LUCK. But I am very impress with what QNX has done. May be you can help

I don't know about the other problems but have an idea about the mouse

autodetect well. At least they didn't used to.

... a really great job was done ! This is very impressive demonstration
for all interested in embedded WEB technology ... but the customer base
of QNX is different as QNX is scalable :-)
Regarding to some feedbacks from our control system customers ... is
it possible to realize in the same way a demo disk which shows
a little bit more about PHOTON and some core features about the
performance and internal structure of QNX ?
The e.g. 'old' task switching demo on the previous demo was very
impressive and would be very impressive again ... just a small
PHOTON application :-))

Same problem here on a DEC GL5120st. 120MHz Pentium, 48MB RAM, Phoenix
BIOS, Matrox Millennium PCI graphics.
Unzips and creates the demo disk with no problems, then when booting from
the demo disk runs with :-
486 kbd 99%
then performs a re-boot.
Any ideas?

trying o intialize any 8bit graphics mode. It just displays a bunch of
garbage and I have to press ESC to return to the default
640x400(480?)x16 color mode. I have a generic 9680 Trident based video

I have problems with a Logitech Series 9. I also had problems with it
under VSTa, until I changed the mouse server to drop DTR and RTS(?) for
400ms and send "*n" to it. Works fine under XFree86 in Linux and Win95.
I've also found the demo doesn't recognise my #9 GXE64 as having any
other video mode than 640x400x16.

Certainly - future versions of the demodisk will do more. Please send any
suggestions you may have to demo...@qnx.com -- we're already working on
the next version.

I tried the demodisk on my ol' Compaq Laptop, and it startet up nicely
(only in 16 Greyshades instead of 256 Color, but hey it worked)
I didnt get it to work with my null-modem cable to an other PC,
probably because it insisted to talk to a modem - but when i plugged
my laptop directly to a modem, I had more sucess :) But I really think
it's missin a "telnet" application :)

First problem, it asks me to select a keyboard and I'm sitting
here in good old England and there's no choice for me.
Second problem. After I've relented and pretended I'm in North America
it says
Decompressing data [.........../bin2/uz: : data error
uz of /image.z failed (Permission denied)
and this is on a machine that's got QNX on it already.

My internal beta for the next release already has UK keyboard support.
You'll see an announcement for this when it's released. We have a number
of other goodies also going onto the next revision.

So far, every example of this problem (with the exception of the posting in
this newsgroup here) has been fixed by writing the image to a different
floppy disk. Please let me know if this doesn't fix it for you as well.

My Logitech mouse (on COM1), model no. C7-3F-9F was not recognized.
Also, can an Ethernet driver be added? : )

Dan Hildebrand
In article <EC3C2...@cu23.crl.aecl.ca>,
We ds-supported the C7 because it hasn't been made in a long time (I have
one in a box here somewhere, having switched to a Logitech MouseMan,
myself). From customer and demodisk feedback, it seems like this may have
been premature. :-)
>Also, can an Ethernet driver be added? : )
That's tough - drivers for which cards, and what do we leave off the

I'd say for the NE2000-compatibles, they are the most common ones
(even though i have a 3com 3C5X9 and would most certainly love to see
that in, too - but i know that there is few space on that disk :)
Hmm, can't you format the disk as 1.72 MB disk ? As far as i know, all

I wonder how many people would complain about their NIC not being
supported...

Perhaps, but that would be cheating. :-)

While those web pages are accessible on the net, having content on the
floppy is worthwhile for those recipients of the disk unable to connect
to the Internet (perhaps because they have the wrong NIC :-).

Any idea when it will be released?
Also, is there any way you could include something like Telnet with the
demo?
And access to the command line?
Perhaps another interesting toy would be something more to benchmark the
system,
if it's possible to fit all this on the next floppy demo :-)

Everything worked great with my demodisk, except for the modem l;) It
wouldn't recognize it; It's a PnP SupraExpress 33.6i, does it have to be
jumped configured?
GREAT job on the demodisk.
Dan Hildebrand
While the demodisk does support PnP modems, there appears to be some
problem with detecting yours. Could you try explicitly jumpering the modem
to a known good port and irq setting?

Uh, maybe someone will set up a dialup modem router with the QNX-demo %-)
Seems to be a great idea to split this into two disks IMHO, as far as I 'll
get 3c509 support and a telnet-client :)
Anyway, I love the current disk as well...great job done.

From what I hear it's pretty good. However, I can't get the disk to do
anything but print "QNX" in uppercase after booting. After that, it is
like a stunned mullet.
I have tried both the qnxdemo.tar (makedemo) and qnxdemo.zip
(install.bat) methods. The machine I am trying it on runs both QNX
4.23A and NT4.0
What might I be doing wrong? Could it be because there is no modem on
this machine? (I just wanted to see it boot up - obviously it was not
going to connect to the internet! :))

We've seen a BIOS incompatibility with the demodisk boot loader code (that
the regular QNX install disk doesn't share). We're working on a new
version that will correct this problem. Can you try it on a different
machine for now?
