Join the club, Keith. I've had the same problem. I have gotten around it by putting the 2090 in the first slot (closest to the CPU slot and drives) and the Starboard as far away as possible. This stinks 'cuz the Starboard mated to the adaptor takes up not one,…
#LIB Card Catalog
Message #197
Hi, Marelene! While we are in "clean slate" mode is there a possibility of seeing and ARCed file of a BRO for each LIB in all three forums? Alternatively, is it possible to do a BRO without stopping at each file? How? Thanks. — Art
Do something like: WaitPort(req->UserPort); mess = (struct IntuiMessage *)GetMsg(req->UserPort); GadAddress = (struct Gadget *)mess->IAddress; class = mess->Class; ReplyMsg(mess); … case GADGETDOWN: gad_id = GadAddress->GadgetID; switch (gad_id) { case SCROLL_GADGET: do { scroll_stuff(); } while (GadAddress->Flags & SELECTED); break;
No, huh…. hmmm. That's very interesting. Using 1.2? 1.3? version? How many windows does it have? The symptoms I'm describing occurs with multiple windows in one program… which is what he wants to do, I think. –Ben–
#GetMsg
Message #194
I seem to be having trouble with GetMsg. Here's what i'm doing. I have a program which needs to scroll a section of my window, until I get a message from the window's port. What I want is, a user clicks a scroll gadget, I get a GADGETDOWN message then…
HD average access speed
Message #191
From my personel experience, plus by talking with other people, I can tell you that the average access speed is barely felt when using a drive, compared to changing the interleave or media type. Our 20M (65ms 1:1 MFM) and a previous 30M(65ms 1:1 RLL via Omti 3527) were dramatically…
Thanks Rick, your clue about the large transfers is right on target, it happens more frequently when doing large amounts of I/O. I pressed Agnes back into her socket just the other day, but maybe I need to try that again. Since everyone seems to be pointing the finger at…
Hard Drive Speed
Message #189
I doubt that the access speed is giving the doubling of effective transfer rate. Rather your drive is running with MFM media and the SCSI drive is running with RLL. That would account for the noted speed. Belive me, I can take a 120ms drive and get a faster effective…
ST506 and SCSI speed
Message #188
The chips are not pin compatible, plus they run at a different clock rate. Also, you are comparing apples and oranges. MFM is 5 mbit, RLL is 7.5 mbit, and ARLL is 10mbit. MFM,RLL, and ARLL only refer to the method of encoding the data bits on the hard drive.…
Bridge Vid Card

Sb:Bridgeboard video From: Russ Witt 76625,20 To: all **************************** I need to run Autocad on the PC side. Has anyone tried this ? Is the Amiga display able to do justice to Autocad ? Has anyone tried to put a video card and a multisync monitor on the bridgeboard yet…

You need ARC.EXE in Lib 4 and ARC.HLP in Lib 1.
#Dearc Program
Message #183
I am looking for a program to dearc files that are downloaded.
Winston, they aren't moved over. If a message was unanswered it was forwarded to the addressee via easyplex. Welcome to AmigaTech. Marlene
Computer Shopper is mostly PC oriented. Occationally you see an add for a MAC SCSI drive. I ordered my Conner CP3100 (100M) 3.5 inch drive from one of their distributor's: Hamilton Avenet. If you can get the manufacturer's phone number then they will tell you the nearest dealer or distributor.…
#hard disks
Message #180
Does anyone know where I can get 3.5 inch hard disks with embedded SCSI controllers? Preferably those made by Quantum, PTI, or Miniscribe? I've paged through COmputer Shopper and haven't found too much. Thanks.
#where are the messages
Message #179
What happened to the messages for the previous four days? – Winston
Nor I without the two of you! Hi!…Dave
Er, this is just a guess (since I wrote MicroBotic's memory test program and don't have a StarBoard adapter). The 2090 has had some small problems with memory transfers in large blocks. It is also possible that your "Fat Agnus" is loose in its socket (happens all the time in…
#Expanding 2000?
Message #176
I'm getting pretty frustrated with a problem I'm having with my 2000. I purchased it during the trade-in and later bought an adapter to let me use my 2 meg Starboard in it. All was fine with that memory card until I purchased the Commodore 2090 HD controller, then I…
Lee, Not all vendors are involved with AmigaVendor and this is also the place that any vendor can leave a new product announcement. Don
printf("pic window active\n"); ActivateWindow(textwin); break; } /* switch */ I have another "fix" if this does not work. That is to make pic a borderless window, setit at 0,11 instead of 0,0, and get rid of its close and depth gadgets. Then I can still test to see if it…
Vic, I have two windows, called pic and text. Pic is 320X100, and is used to only display the pictures, using DrawImage. Text is 320X200, and has the console device opened to it. I want to be able to have depth and close gadtes in both windows, but the console…
Steve, nto sure if this will be any help, but the mouse wont go outside of your View boundaries. So if you have opened your own view, that is not large enough to support overscan then this will keep your mouse from going out to overscan. This is talked about,…
Ben, I have a small program, which I've uploaded here before: called 'swindow'. It does NOT show the symptom of 'missing' activate window messages. /^o^\
I understand the desire to have the other window active, it looks nice without the title bar ghosted and all that. Why is is NECCESARY however? /^o^\
Ben, Ok thanks , I think I will check the way you said. that should work ok. Jim Vogel
Glad it's not wop. (giggle) ?exit
Martin, Yes, I discovered that soon after I left this message. I have a V1.1 RKM, and ActiveateWindow is a V1.2 call. That will teach me not to update my manuals :^) Thanks, Jim Vogel
#Arrival
Message #166
Hello, All. Sure love reading all those introductory messages over and over again. Quick question: Since we now have an AmigaVendor Forum, why are there also Talk to the Trade topics in the other two forums? Just wondering… Lee
No, that's Waaahp. Waaahp! Very good.
First, set ACTIVEWINDOW and INACTIVEWINDOW for btoh (all) windows. Next, keep a (set of) flag(s) that indicate which window YOU want to be active. When you get messages that indicate things aren't the way your internal flags say they SHOULD be, call ActivateWindow with the pointer to the window YOU…
yeah, I'm just…. "inherently inherent".
There is an ActivateWindow(window) function. Try that. -Martin Murray

Hmmmmmmm……. Hi! –Ben–
#Window active help
Message #160
Does anyone know f\how to activate a window from inside a program…I.e. not using the mouse :^). I have two windows, opened on a custom screen, one of which I want to allways be active. So if someone clicks onthe other window, I need to deactivate that window, and activate…
#Overscan- Mouse
Message #158
Help ! I am trying to use the intuition mouse in overscan and am noy (not) completely able to do so. Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks
#I want it
Message #157
Waaah, I want it and I ain't got it. (Pounding table with mouse in one hand and telephone in other hand.) (you know, like what hungry people do when they want dinner with a knife and a fork) Waaah.
Hi back Marcus – welcome to AmigaTech! Marlene
#hello
Message #155
Just thought I would say Hi to everyone in general (I'm just a friendly guy).
George, Whap! is a new (and VERY soon to be released) CIS navigator program. It will save you time and dollars – look for it RSN! Marlene
Glad to see you here Glenn. Enjoy… Marlene
Interesting way of looking (sic) at it. /^o^\
Hello Keith, I presume the crowd will show up shortly. /^o^\

Whats all this here then? A message section dedicated to striking fellow Forum members over the head with rolled up copies of Amiga magazines? What is the world coming to? Geo
#Time == Illusion
Message #149
Visualiizing spacetime is ard when we try to imagine "a fourth direction perpendicular to all the others." It may be easier when we try instead to think about memory and anticipation as "directions." I have little trouble looking at my child and at the same time grasping his/her infancy and…
CP == Communist Party?
Message #148
(I don't know whether this thread belongs to Ramblings or to Whap!, but I guess I'll be safe and post it in all SIGs of all CIS forums.) Oh dear, I seem to be unser the influence of totalitarian thinking… Anyway, I am suddenly disillusioned with the idea of a…

Well, just a quick hello. Had to leave a message in the new forum. Of the three forum's available now, I'll be hanging out here, in AmigaTech mostly.
