#CD drivers
Message #217146
Does anyone know where I can find a Toshiba CD-ROM driver and a Phillips CD-ROM driver to download for the PC? I want to use it with my e586. AMIGA—–The Future Is Now! Chris Shepard: 030/50 A2000 with Toaster 4000 & MacIIfx via Emplant.
Werner,
Robert, thank you for your efforts to help me with my amouse problem. I appreciate this very much. As my bridgeboard is an A2286 only, I don't run a memory manager. I use the bridgeboard mainly for converting files to the Amiga from 5.1/4" MS-DOS formatted disks. The second purpose…
David, Have you got the "Forign file access" extension installed? you need about 5 different extensions to make a Mac CD drive read everything.. (can't remember what they are though..) ok, you twisted my arm, I'll go look.. (boots Emplant and struggles to read through the mess Picasso makes of…
Werner, I just ran AutoCad in Dos to see how my mouse works. It is just perfect. I'm wondering if you have a memory management problem. I know that I had a problem before if Amouse was loaded before the memory manager. You do have to load the Memory manager…
#ShapeShifter CDroms?
Message #216989
Does anyone know how to get Shapeshifter to read ISO 9660 CDroms? I have tried the apple extension for 9660 disks. Nothing seems to work. I'm using EMPCD. I can't get the Apple CD software to work to read CDs without EMPCD. David Kay Flying in from Montreal.
okay it don't support local talk take it out of your system folder ..it supports ethertalk and ami mactcp

Alan Thanx alot, i'll give it a try. Joe
Joseph, I'm running SS on a Retina Z3 using the Cybergraphics software if that's any help. Alan (Via Autopilot,Gloucestershire,UK)
Robert, >> I have no problem with nonWindows applications with Amouse hmm… I got the following problem with DOS applications: In 640 x 480 VGA 16 color mode, the mouse will only be movable in the upper 640 x 350 pixel area. At the same time, in the 351th line,…

#Amiga on Mac
Message #216831
We need a sw to reed Amiga floppy's on a Mac. Problem: The Mac is hooked to the Net, and we will download sw for the Amiga. Hho can help us?
John- Sadly, this method did not work. SS got part way through booting off my Emplant partition, and then locked up. I have Symbion installed, which shows all extensions etc. that are loaded as they are loaded, with their memory usage (I also tried with everything except bare system stuff…
#3.1 & Bridgeboard
Message #216748
Werner My version of Amouse is also 1.7. I use Amouse3.drv for Windows, but I have no problem with nonWindows applications with Amouse. I am also running a super VGA video board. I don't if that helps you or not. I have Os2/Warp but I think i will have to…
#SS on Retina
Message #216660
I,ve been using Shareware SS and have a retina Z3 card, but can't get SS to run on it. my 4000 runs mac graphics slowly in AGA, I want to register SS but if the graphics aren't faster I probably wouldn't use the mac anyway. If anyone is using SS…
Marion, Thanks, naturally I need windows & slow is not fun online . Will send my Winston guru looking. Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
Gracia, >>OK, emulation mavin, which card?
Rafa- Sorry, that's the only information I have. Even checked the bill. 🙁 Mr. Zombie
Any non 1-800 numbers for the-rest-of-the-world? Thanks Rafa from Berlin, thanks to AP1.80 >…olive oil is the way to go.
Yo Marion, Thanks…I guess I should get a card or build a clone. I have a 286 that was given to me to upgrade…I then need a monitor switch box & space on desk, yuck. I already have a 4000 + a 1000 there…John, the resident Luddite uses it as…
Hi Gracia, >>Anyone use PC Task? Anygood?

#what PC emulation to get

Anyone use PC Task? Anygood? Don't bother? Get a 486 card? I need just a few PC programs & don't want to waste $ on one. Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
Try A.R.C. (Apple Resource Center) 1014 Central Tracy, Ca. 95376 1-800-753-0114 I got my Emplant ROM from them. Got my SS ROM image used with SS, so I don't know for sure, but I imagine they can help you. Mr. Zombie
ShapeShifter Mac ROM
Message #216289
Is there another way to get the Mac ROM Image, than to take it direct from a Mc? A terrible confused A 1200 user. Thank's in advance, Anton
Dave- Are you using the HPDJ driver? Mostly works for me, though I'm having some seriously annoying margin problems that no one else seems to share. You can ftp it from… err… the address is in the Shapeshifter docs in the questions section I believe. Mr. Zombie
#Printing With SS?
Message #216241
Hi! Has anybody had any luck printing with ShapeShifter? I have SS v3.1 on my A3000 OS 3.1, set up the printer port to go to the parallel.device, where my HP 500C Deskjet printer resides. When I try to print from the Mac side, using a DeskWriter Serial driver, I…
>>I wouldn't want you to blame me for trashing your MAC
"Thanks! One puzzling thing, though. Jim Drew told me that SS would trash Emplant's Mac partition due to differing PROM setups. I take it this isn't correct?" The only problem I saw after using ShapeShifter on the Emplant's partition was that my monitor color settings would be reversed. If I…

#ShapeShifter questions
Message #216092
"Also, is there any way to get SS to use the same hd partition as my Emplant? I select DH1 in the volume chooser, but it just tells me that it's not a DOS disk." Yes you can Paul, I used the Emplant partition for a few weeks with ShapeShifter…
Robert, >> I have the problem that I can not use Amouse with OS2 hm, no idea, as I don't own OS2/Warp. AFAIK you can't activate COM2 with the bridgebord, as COM2 IRQs and ports are used to communicate with the AMIGA side of the system. BTW, which version of…
Gayle, I have one of those mousesticks in my old joystick drawer. I'll give it a try. Thanks. Randy Dege
Werner, I use Amouse on my BB with Windows 3.1 in 1080 x 768 and have never had a problem. I do use two mice but they are both on the Amiga side using Amouse on the second game port. I have the problem that I can not use Amouse…
Steve: MacBinary works fine for me, but Lutti was looking for the utility… — Dave
Paul, >> I tried news://comp.sys.amiga.emulations but it told me that it couldn't get that information.
Use BinHex v4.0 available in the Mac forums. -Steve Ahlstrom
I'll see if I can get it. Hey, why don't you just go to usenet via cserve (go usenet). You can use autopilot/hands on, or otherwise to access usenet, subscribe to amiga emulations as you have it in your message, and you're cooking. Cya
>> mouse on the bbside serial port but now no modem :(. If you >> don't mind my asking, what is your work around? Marion J Deland [72550,1733] published my suggestion in her newsletter. If you can find it, there is a Gravis Mousestick for the Atari and Amiga that…
Actually I started with 10M only to find it too small for the OS. Since the thing was so slow loading I went with 50 to be safe. I really just wanted to check out the program, I have a whole partition I can use once I'm registered. Good suggestion…

Ami-Gfx is the Amigas Graphics chip-set. Thanks for you help…. 🙂 Alex… Flying on Autopilot 1.80
I haven't been able to get to that newsgroup with AMosaic. I tried news://comp.sys.amiga.emulations but it told me that it couldn't get that information. Was the address wrong? Could you upload the patch here? Mr. Zombie
Steve, The 50M file disk is a little big. Maybe you could cut it in half and use two. Also add alot of buffers, say 2000 to each device containing the disk file(s). The added buffers will make a lot of difference. Ron
