Message #217211
Asha; < I haven't installed it on my Picasso board but I've been told you get 24 bit painting with Cyber installed. With just the Picasso software, you do get 256 colors and there is a Picasso "save" (similar to the Opal "save" in AdPro, which just lets you see…

Peter, the B protocols work beautifully if you have things set up right and have software that supports them. I've used ZModem extensively on bulletin boards. It is no better than BPlus protocols. I wish I knew what is wrong in your setup, but I just haven't been able to…

Peter, Have you set your serial settings for 8-N-1? If you are set for the 7-E-1 recommended for CompuServe, your binary downloads will always fail, no matter what protocol you have. You need to set for 8-N-1, and then turn on an option to 'strip high bit.' I don't know…

Perhaps when you boot off of the DPaint IV floppy, your startup-sequence gets you up an running with a minimum of RAM overhead. Check your startup-sequence and User-startup on your harddrive for additional programs that are launched and running in the background. That could be the difference in your not…

I need a repair on a GVP accelerator board (an 030/40Mhz); seems to me I remember that some vendor was set-up to repair GVP accelerator cards. Can anyone help me with their name, address, phone number, geographic location, whatever??? Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks. David.

The CK722 and the 2N104 were the first transistors that could be bought at a price of less than $10, so their appearance was quite a breakthrough. The CK722 was NPN and the 2N104 PNP, so you could try one of each. Economical power transistors started arriving a year later.…

When IBM chose a processor, they had the option of the 68000, but intel offered them a better deal ( a couple of dollars per chip probably ). The people who worked on the original pc have stated that they regretted their choice. Phill

I uploaded messages via C/s Mail. They went up as binary files. It seems that their presence is known but their whereabouts are not. That's why I appended a piece from Peter Hill in case it might illuminate the subject.

That definitive article explaining transistors for the non-engineer types was written by none other than Amiga-Forum member, Jim Butterfield – and quite an article it was, too. Popular Electronics had been around for a while before that, though. I cleared out an almost complete set from about 1952-1985 or so…

Teig, Brilliance was written to the AGA chipset, and doesn't want to be promoted. You should be able to pass through the program to ou 1084 monitor though. Check ChangeScreen, make sure Brilliance is set to . Then you should be able to pass through. Asha @}–,–`–

Hi Wrong answer: it is too damned bad that IBM picked the most crippled mpu out there to base their Personal Computer on instead of the 1802 or at least the 6800. Today's desktop computer would almost certainly be a generation further ahead of where it is today. In other…
