GVP IMPACT BOOTROM
Message #3269
HALLO ANDREAS!!! Vielen Dank fuer Dein Feedback.Ich hoffe Du verstehst auch Deutsch. Zuerst zu Deiner Frage, was fuer ein Bootrom ich besitze. Hier die genaue Angabe: V-3.07 /ECD9 EVEN 256 Mein Aufruf hat noch andere Amigatech User wachgeruettelt,so z.B. Bob Rakosky (75156,336),der mir mitgeteilt hat das ich eine Illegale Kopie…
SCSI drives on the mac do have SCSI ID selection either as a hidden DIP switch or as something more mac-like. Like Amigas, macs use SCSI ID 7 (oh oh is it really 6 Ethan?) for their own so use some other number.. the logucal unit number is the numbe…
Memory Expansion
Message #3264
I've just purchased a Progressive Peripherals 2 meg expansion card, and have yet to receive it. While I'm waiting, does anyone have any caveats about this particular card that I should be aware of? Jay
Don, Thanks for all the information on SCSI drives. I'll pass this along to my friend and see what happens. He lives about 1,000 miles from me so we do these things by phone ($) and he doesn't have a modem. I'm not even sure the part of Colorado he…
Harry, Thanks for the input, we'll look into that one. I hadn't even thought of it. I did remember the SCSI drives for Mac's using an ID on the drive itself. I tell my friend to look for something on the drive itself. Keith
Keith, The A2090(a) handles multiple SCSI drives just fine…I've got 2 on one right now. You are talking about setting LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers)…a couple of things here. First, the A2090 driver software doesn't support LUNs, but 2nd, even if it did support LUNs, you're not using them right. On…
Betty, thanks, I wasn't sure what was going on. I've used CIS on and off since 1982 and not surprised to see things constantly expand like the universe. Ward
Keith – I believe the 2090A handles multiple SCSI IDs just fine, but it can't handle multiple LUNs off of a single SCSI ID. The SCSI ID is usually set on the drive by a jumper; I'm not familiar enough with the 2090A software-wise to say what's needed in MountList.…
Memory chips
Message #3215
I have a TrumpCard with the Meta 4 board and would like to upgrade to 5 megs. I have to use 1meg x 8 or 9 SIMMS minimum 100ns. My question is, can I order anything that fits that discription like those advertised in Computer Shopper, for instance? I believe…

AMIGA, BIANARY
Message #3210
You should be able to type the file's name and the program will execute. What were you trying to type? If you're getting read/write errors on your disks, it's possible that you're popping the disks out of the drives too quickly. You've got to wait until the light on the…

Guru Help
Message #3209
There's a program in one of the libraries (I think System Utilities) called Guru. You can give it the number, and it will tell you what occurred. Steve

You'll find the ANTIFL.LZH program in library 11. The forums were expanded and we reorganized the libraries since that article appeared in AmigaWorld. Steve
#Help With SCSI Drives
Message #3198
A friend and I have come across a problem we can't seem to resolve. He is trying to connect TWO SCSI Hard Drives to a Commodore A2090A. We've both read the docs thoroughly but are still having problems. He needs to set the Logical Unit Number for each of the…

Tim, the system puts an (x) beside your ID number on a message after you read the message. You can tell when someone has read a message you left them by looking for that (x). Betty

Guru Help
Message #3158
Michael, There are several programs in the libraries that will decipher those for you. Basically, the first digit tells you whether the problem is fatal or if you can recover (an 8 means fatal). Then, there is information as to which of the Amiga's libraries was involved in the crash,…

General
Message #3156
We reorganized our forums after AmigaWorld came out, too late for them to make changes in those libraries for that issue. The program is now in Library 11 of AMigaTech, and lots of people say it is just wonderful. I have not used it, since I have a flickerfixer in…

Execute Requestor
Message #1587
Keith … I've played a lot with ISTEL and know of its frustrations. I also live in England (Welwyn Garden City) and should be able to help, although probably best directly as CServe costs quite a lot 🙂 However, I'm currently visiting with Betty Clay (SYSOP of this parish) and…
We went through a forum reorganization to expand our Amiga support. You can get MOVSSP.LZH, ANTIFL.LZH, MSDOS1.LZH and POPUPM.LZH from library 11 of AmigaTech. Steve
MOVSSP.LZH, ANTIFL.LZH, and MSDOS1.LZH are all available in library 11 of AmigaTech. A lot of people around here use the program WHAP! to call CompuServe. It's a program that can automatically log in, get only the messages and files that you want, and then log off. It can also upload…
#No access?
Message #1584
There are a few files in Libraries 13 & 14 that I would like to download, which I say in AmigaWorld Magazine. But it says that I am not authorized for those libraries? Why am I not allowd to download these files?
My wife DID order the A3000 and BB through the educational package offer and CBM shipped us both of them. CBM also claims in its ads for the system that it will work with BB's! I have owned everything from a Pet to a C64 to a 128 to an…
Beats me. I had thought that digital RGB was not available. —Mike
Mike, But the A1000 has the same pinouts. I checked in the original hardware manual (the original developer documentation from 1985). Don
Steve, Right…I ran an HD that way for quite a while (running a cable and power feeds out the back). I also had the drive unmounted in any case, so yes…it does work just fine. Don
1080/1084D Manufacturor
Message #1571
To ALL: Can anyone confirm the manufacturor of the CBM 1080/1084D monitors. I know the 1084/1084S is made by Magnavox and I have heard the 1080/1084D's were made by either Hitachi or Tohsiba (spelling?). Anyone have any definite knowledge on this?

HD Recovery help.

The "ReFormat" was a stupid blunder. I weformatted a tiny portion of the drive. DiskSlav managed to recover the majority of its files.

HD Recovery help.
Message #1569
I noticed you said you were using Trump card. May I ask if it is the 2000 version? I have been "attempting" to use one with my XYXIS stuff and no go at all. GURUs and random r/w write errors to beat the band. I guess I have a bad…

#Library Access
Message #1567
Steve, I'm looking for the utilities mentioned in the lates AmigaWorld: MOVSSP.LZH, ANTIFL.LZH, MSDOS1.LZH, . These were supposed to be in LIB 13 and 14. Also, when I scroll through the forum messages and save them to a buffer is there anyway to automatically skip over a particular Subject #…
Certain libraries here are reserved for future use. Some of the libraries and files that were here in AmigaTech and in AmigaArts were moved around when AmigaUser was created a last month. Was there anything in particular you were looking for? Steve

#A3000 tech questions
Message #1558
Tim, this is primarily your dealers fault. He should have known. That's what a dealer is for. Someone posted (I think on usenet) that he had ordered the A3000 and BB via the educational discount plan and that Commodore REJECTED his order for the BB because the two didn't work…
Ron, Yesterday I found out that I had the one with the new chip, or whatever they call it, and was able to set it from the Cmos section of DOS. As to the drive, I have a 1.44 meg. 3 1/2" drive installed. It wont run yet, and im…

keyboard probs.
Message #1542
Let me add to what Davey said; if you have an old 2000 built for use with the Cherry keyboard but you have a newer keyboard, those two capacitors must be clipped. I have my original Cherry keyboard and it works fine. Ron

Problems with "SAY"
Message #323
If you have AmigaVision, the speak module has been nicely structured as a control panel with sliders for all the features of SAY. It is fast and fun to play with. -chris
Vic, Those problems mean your BridgeBoard isn't quite seated properly and/or the bus translator chips (the square chips on the Bridgeboard) are not quite tight in the sockets. Any (even slight) mis-seating of the BridgeBoard causes those chips to become intermittent with exactly the symptoms you describe. What fixed my…
Jay, At any forum or CIS prompt, type GO HELP and then follow the menus to logon instructions. Time spend in help is free of CIS connect charges. If you wish to go directly to the logon instructions from a Tymnet number…type GO LOG-11 and that'll be the first page…
