Message #38716
I would like to post a message or classified to those people who want to write C programs, but just can't get started on or afraid of Intuition. I would like to help them with their GUI. Thank You Andy
Remote Debug
Message #37991
Anyone using SAS/C's CPR over an ethernet based network? -bill
Bill, My question is whether there's anyone left at C= that knows what successful means ???? // I'm gonna wait for \X/ the A5000! -RSL-
Steve, Why do I think yours is an overly optimistic prediction ? // I'm gonna wait for \X/ the A5000! -RSL-
I don't know Roy, is there anyone still working there that knows what DSP stands for? -bill
Well, it will either be the 20th or the 21st century… 🙂 –>Steve Bennett
DSP When?????
Message #36512
Hey fellow developer types! Any idea what century C= is going to release their DSP board????? // I'm gonna wait for \X/ the A5000! -RSL-
Thanks, Mike. Steve
Steve: I believe the wire's only needed in A500's. If you're putting it into an A2000 I think you can remove the wire, I don't think any A2000's need the wire. // -Mike Schiller \X/ AMIGA! On AutoPilot in sunny Fort Lauderdale
#2.04 ROM wire
Message #34228
I have a 2.04 ROM here that I'm going to install into a machine. It has one of those wires jumpers across the top, and I can't remember the motherboard revs that require it be cut or just left in place. Anyone remember? I can't find that dern instruction sheet…
Vic; Actually I think that I am a lot better off here in "SAS" country than you are there in SoCal! I don't know about the "Great Quake" but I think that California is in for some really hard times regardless. -bill
Bill, darn right…and it couldn't be too soon.
Vic, using AutoPilot. Guess it messed up again! 73, Kelly
Which either of us would be willing to move to permenantly! -bill
Kelly What mechanism are you using to reply to messages. I'm NOT Bill Leach, tho we do own property about 100 miles from each other.

Message #33810
Kelly; I blew it! You are right, it is david.miller and not John (though I think that John was handling it when I first joined). Nope won't be making Dayton (sniff sniff). 73, bill
Hi Bleach, jwiede, no, is that the second person who has control? I was sending to david.miller, and the first time got a reply it could take a while cause I am registered to CBM Canada and will depend on how busy Alex Orgill is. Sounds like a load of…
Kelly; Have you posted bixmail to "jweide"? (I think I have the name right) -bill
Vic, Thanks for the info. Sounds like CBM did some work to the printer device for 3.0 Now to find out what! 73, Kelly
Kelly First of all when I type version printer.device I get: printer.device 39.6 As to whether this prints any more colors, I cannot say. I, alas, do NOT have a color pinter at hand. Haven't looked at doing HW at all yet, 'fraid I can't help their either.

Message #33645
Well, I have about given up on trying to get into amiga.dev/cert over on Bix. Been trying since then end of november to get into that section, but guess the sysops either don't care or don't have the time to get the info they need from CBM Canada. Need information…
Um. We do well enough with them, but perhaps the fact that we're not into CDROM at all at this point has helped. They've been good about everything for us, really. I really don't have trouble with the technical group, I think they're good. I have trouble with policy and…
We don't need no steekin logic, apparently. I tell ya, everytime that $450 fee comes around, I think twice… What do I get from it most often? Someone passing the buck, because they can't determine who's really in charge of the project / product in question, because of personnel shifts.
Logic? Logic? –Ben …via AutoPilot
With the logic of this CDTV royalty increase, they should charge developers per copy for bootable Workbench disks, too.
Not yet. I probably will as soon as I can manage to grab the time to download them… –>Steve Bennett
They should be *begging* for support. But they aren't that smart. –Ben …via AutoPilot
They must not believe that they're in an underdog position in the Wars for the Consumer CD-ROM Device. From the way Campbell was talking, they're confident that everyone involved in publishing CD-based games/titles will do cross-platform development, and will pay the royalty. By leaving the royalty where it was at…
Considering the number of people developing for CDTV, Commodore shouldn't be charging anything for a royalty. They should just be selling the software directly. Steve
Great! Hope you have fun with it. Have you tried the MPEG movies yet? Steve
#CDTV $3 Royalty?
Message #32786
I talked today with CBM's John Campbell, to ask why the CDTV per-disc royalty rose from 25 cents to $3. His reasons: 1) Because everyone else (that is: Sega, 3DO, CD-I, but except MPC) is doing it. 2) Because 25 cent royalties didn't make it worthwhile to sue the companies…
Lets see… I sent in the order 2 weeks ago today. And today, my nice new machine is sitting on my desk and I'm just now doing my first online session with it. (I can see already that tonight is going to be one of those *really* late night sessions……
It's actually quite funny… About 10 minutes after I left that message, someone from Commodore called to say my machine had been shipped… I'm using it now, in fact. (And it's already spoiled me… ) –>Steve Bennett
Steve, It depends on what you order. As of 2-3 weeks ago 4000s were backordered and CATS was telling people they'd have a long wait. -sja
Depends on whether they have them in stock, Steve. I have received things in less than a week – and again, I've had to wait a couple of months. You can usually ask when you call and they can tell you within a day or two of when to expect…
Steve, Sometimes they ship the same day (has happened to us a couple times), other times it takes a while (don't try ordering a 2065 Ethernet card from them, they don't have any and don't expect any soon).
Well, if you happen to buy a couple, I'll take one. 🙂 I think it's taken about a week for things that I've ordered, but that was for a tape drive and a SCSI controller. Steve
#CATS hardware order time
Message #32726
Does anyone have a rough idea how long it usually takes to get a hardware (computer) order through the developer program at CATS? (Yes, Steve P., I couldn't wait any longer… ) –>Steve Bennett
Betty: Well, I guess it must have gone right over my head (I'm not surprised!). Or I was in the wrong place at the wrong time 🙁 // -Mike Schiller \X/ AMIGA! On AutoPilot in sunny Fort Lauderdale
Steve: I had to leave early, so didn't get to see everything, but from what I saw, (and understood, after all, I'm not a programmer, and most of it was geared to programmers) there wasn't anything anything earth shattering, but then I could be wrong. For me the best part…
Steve, Yes. 🙂 Betty
Betty, What I want to know is if there is anything being presented that may tempt one to break the NDA. -sja
Drat, I almost forgot about that. 🙂
John, You know about DevCons. When we enter the door, they hand us a brand new NDA, and we cannot register until we have signed it. The first thing it says is that we will not reveal to anyone anything discussed here, and we will discuss those things only with…
Dev Con Reports
Message #31710
So where's all those hot dev con reports, posted from laptops from Orlando hotels?
Congratulations, John. –Ben …via AutoPilot
Not I, but then I'm running on my trusty 3000
I do hope it works out, John. Won't be the same without you, and we'd love to meet your wife. —Betty
Sure! Upload that picture. You've got a scanner now, right? Upload that B&W picture of you and RJ! Steve
rofl 🙂
