#3259-Help With SCSI Drives
Message #3267
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

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
#3239-Stack
Message #3262
The stack can be used to store any kind of data so long as you know that the last item put on the stack will be the first one you need to take off. So – it might be addresses or it might be data, depending upon the order in…

Chris, No – I don't know all of the reasons, but mostly, there was simply not enough money to keep publishing. Several setbacks were just too much for them to overcome. The final blow came when the magazine was offered for sale, it was bought by an English company, and…

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…

Message #3259
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

Mark, If the A500 is stealing signifigant sales from your attempted A2x00 series sales than one of two things is happening (more likely a combination of both). Either your dealership is not attracting the appropriate customers to purchase the A2x00 series, or your dealership is doing a poor selling job.…

Workbench has nothing to do with it. Have 2 interlace and 1 non-interlace screen up… and you'll duplicate the problem.

Message #3254
Chris, A stack is used to store return addresses, so that when one routine calls another, when that 2nd routine is done…the program knows where to return to so it can continue. The stack is also used to pass values from one routine to another. So that if routine1 needs…

Ben, I hadn't heard that before… That's a shame. I personally didn't use MicroFiche Filer, but I've seen comments by others that it's is (was) a good program. I hate to see developers leave this market…but as I've said before, I see things like that as an unfortunate consequence of…

Ben, If you had said, "for the bug to show up, you've got to load the WB" or some such…I'd have replied differently. I presumed you were just suggesting to me that I use the WB also. However, based on what Harry said, I did in fact just load up…

Steve, I'm not saying the problem isn't CBM's…I'm saying I can't duplicate it. Harry left me a message earlier saying he thinks that WB must be up and running for the problem to show up. I'll try that later and see what happens. I don't normally have the WB up…so…

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…

Allen, I can only say that it works fine for me. Make sure what you're typing in is exactly what I showed. Check the quotes in the printf statement. If it still doesn't work, you've got a corrupt file somewhere in the system. Try a reload of Lattice and if…

Bill, Ok…there's obviously some difference…I've never seen the problem, and last night…I specifically tried to re-create it. I had 3 screens overlapping on the CRT. 2 interlaced, one non-interlaced. I switched back and forth between them, "fronted" them in rotation and so forth. No problems. Yes, part of each screen…

Did you say $5 per HOUR for the 900 number? Most of them charge by the minute – and at $5 a MINUTE, boy, would that ever be costly!! $5 an hour is cheaper than long distance calls, though. Betty

I don't really object to it either to be honest. I think it will keep the flow of calls who are calling to find out how to put a picture on the screen to a minimum as that is clearly documented in the manual. -mark=

Steve, Not when much of the program lockes into variables, types, procedures, and function defined by the compiler writer. Also, the same structure may not need the same emphasis everywhere it is used. In some cases a variable is only needed for minor reference, where elsewhere in the program it…

I haven't seen this here, so pardon me if this is a rehash. Apparently, the authors/producers of Microfiche Filer are bailing out of the Amiga market to work under Windows on the PC on a "New Project". The author posted (on another network) that he regretted the move, but could…

Yes, I know…. we were talking about OS bugs, and finding them. You said you couldn't find them. I suggested you load the portion of the OS you don't normally use, so that you could experience the REST of what CBM supplies to the users. Never mind. BBS->Williams.Ben[AA7AS]

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.…

Allen, The command line looks simple enough (and correct).
