Which, of course, requires two, four, six, or eight telephone lines as well!! My husband would be livid if I tied up BOTH our lines with modems. 😉 It truly does sound useful, though. I can think of lots of people who would need it. Betty
G'day Perry,i've been waiting a while for you to send that info across to me here….still waiting ….make it worthwhile me starting to write my own multi-user bbs project i've been thinking about for quite a while!! C u laitr Brendan Pratt – Queensland,Australia. Beautiful one day, Perfect the next!

OK, will have to try to get together with you sometime soon. bill
Yepper. A Twin-X can accomodate two modules. We currently have a two port per module module and will shortly manufacture a four port module. Thus, you can have two, four, six or eight ports on one Twin-X. Perry
Yepper. Better send it to me again. My Apologies! Perry
Bill, we're still in SoCal (at least until June).
Perry, That setup sounds ideal for sysops! If only money were no object. I assume that it requires your TwinX board with four serial ports and four modems? Betty
Good work! Ron
Perry: I have been trying to but you still have not sent any literature! Need my address again? 73, bill
Hi Stranger! Happy New Year to ya. Are you still in So. Cal? or have you managed to move to the Intermountain west? (like Ben?) 73, bill
#MultiSerial YES!

This message is created during a log in session which ran at 2400 baud. I am also downloading a file at 19200 baud. And uploading another file at 1200 baud. All at the same time. Yes friends, the new year has brought working multiserial support to the Amiga. We were…

Problems still there
Message #4534
Mike, your message was addressed to yourself. Not that talking to oneself isn't bad…. C Ltd will provide a PAL upgrade for the A1000. You can reach them right here on AmigaVend (they have their own topic section). They'll be very happy to help. Perry
As I said…the next CygnusEd Professional file requester has all that and more. It is one of the very best I've ever seen. Perry

Colin! When did you start using CIS? And if for a while, how come you haven't spoken up before! Please add what you can to the discussion of CgynusEd Professional (since you are in a position to answer some questions with more authority than I, most maybe 🙂 Perry

Fred, I don't see where you would have a problem… you really don't need BINDDRIVERS unless you have some devices in your expansion drawer that need to be mounted, and it doesn't appear that you have any (from your SS). Why are you relabeling VD0: VD0 ?? Just curious, it…

Those are some of MY favorite complaints. Also, I wish programs would remember the directory if they just read it and I haven't changed directories in the meantime. You know, DPaint does THAT.
Hot as in Charlie's requesters. 🙂 I don't like to wait for all those ExNext()s to take place, before I can click on a name in the list of files. It would be nice if they appeared as they were delivered. Also, it would be great if it could leave…
What do you mean it is not “hot''. Actually it is. You can toggle between the file gadget and the drawer gadget at will with Shift-Return. About the new file requester…come over my house sometime…I'll show it to you.

I'd love to see a scrolling list of logical volumes. The list was also clutter for me, with a half-dozen obscure ASSIGNs I do in my startup sequence, for programs I rarely use. Know what I'd love to see in an editor's file requester? A simple way to jump between…
That's an old one John. It seems that ed doesn't handle spaces in file names properly. This will be corrected in the next release. But thanks just the same!

#CEDPro Info/Question
Message #4282
Speaking of CED bugs, I found another one. I was in the regular, non-ASDG CBM RAM disk, not RAD either. I started CED by typing 'ed' by itself on the bare CLI prompt. CED wasn't resident, so it fetched it off disk, and then I got a requester that said…
Buffers are still device specific to the best of my knowledge. However, you won't need to allocate as many buffers as you suggest (1000 – 1500). Rather, a smaller number of buffers does quite well (in the 100 to 200 range). The file system itself won't spend its time caching…
If I specify 1000 buffers for my FFS drive, will AmigaDOS automatically give them back when another program requests memory the way FaccII doe? Is there some way to write a mountlist so that one can allocate (say) 1500 buffers amongst _all_ one's FFS partitions, and then have the buffers…

Facc III
Message #4160
Art, you might also compare against simply increasing the number of buffers used by the partition. This will use the same amount of memory, and the FFS certainly knows how to cache itself better then an external program making guesses as to what the FFS is up to. Keep in…
#4147-
#Facc III
Message #4159
I might remind everyone that the FFS does its own caching. Simply increase the number of buffers employed by the drive. These buffers are handled more efficiently with the new FFS than the Old FS.

Hello ASDG folks! I've been using your Recoverable RAM for ages now, and now must stop… (boo hoo)… problem… just got the CSA 68020 and their Dragstrip board. The Dragstrip is 32 bit ram, and requires a special loading program to use it… it wipes out VD0 every time. (wipes…
Badgers? Aren't they a baseball team?
Hi, John. Say, do you suppose you guys could cook up something that would let the Badger front line multi-task? (heh-heh!)

In other words, I would have to have a copy of a given program for each serial port I wanted to use it with. Also, wouldn't I have to worry about things like checksums if I changed a program? BTW, in running STRINGS on ONLINE!, I don't see any reference…

Message #3360
Ron, it should be possible with any program that opens the "serial.device" in their program. You have to NewZap the program from "serial.device" to what ever it is that ASDG requires to speak to one of the serial ports on their board. At least that is the way I understand…

I just got a letter and a refund check from Perry Kivolowitz of ASDG. ASDG sent out 5500 letters to their customers soliciting 2000-and-1 orders (I got two). They had hoped for circa 300 orders. They got 41, so they had no alternative but to drop the product. Bad news…
It's because (in my case) we're too damned lazy to find a stamp. I've purchased a couple of thousand dollars (hmmm, probably a lot more now that I think of it) of Amiga software. The only registration cards I've sent in were for Aztec, AREXX, and WShell. CEDPro's registration is…
If you or someone else will loan us the film recorder we will write the software to drive it (using the 24 bit data from SpectraScan). In fact, let me make this a public solicitation for help getting in touch with film recorder manufacturers. We consider film recorder output to…

That's basically it…an image scanned with SpectraScan can be saved with (or “in'' I should say) any IFF format. Deluxe Photo Lab's Paint program does a reasonable job of keeping up with the bit maps SpectraScan can produce (although…SpectraScan has the ability to produce a HAM file as large as…

Over two hundred functions and variables are accessible through an ARexx port. The ARexx interface was implemented without using any routines from the ARexx library (which is suggested by Bill Hawes). This means that ARexx does not have to be present in order to use CEDPro's ARexx interface. That is,…

Twin-X and SCSI.
Message #2205
To be honest, the SCSI performance off of Twin-X will not be dramatically high but should be comparable to the average budget priced dedicated disk controller. This is because there's literally nothing special built into the module to boost speed. As such, its a very basic disk controller. There should…

I can't figure out why people don't send in their reg cards. It's like, they don't want updates, they don't want bug fixes, they don't want newsletters, they don't want to hear about new products, they don't want tech support. Good reasons, huh?
