Exabyte is an 8mm 'video tape' format – I can get 'em but I have had very very few calls for 'em. They are available in 2Gig and 5 Gig capacities. Some video pros use 'em a lot for backup and data exchange. DAT is a 4mm 'digital audio tape'…
#Digital World in LA
Message #151495
Hi all. I'm typing this message from my hotel room in downtown LA, and thought I'd comment a bit about the conference I'm at. It's called Digital World and there's a regular trade show part and some VERY interesting conference sessions that I've been attending. The show part is highlighting…
#Color AmaxII+
Message #151494
Does anyone know anything about Amax now supporting color?
Isn't AmiVR from MenageM, who's owner (Daniel Wolf) is here regularly as 70250,626? — Dale L. Larson, Intangible Assets Manufacturing
Are the dats the same as an Exabyte?
This is a fan which attaches to the 040. — Dale L. Larson, Intangible Assets Manufacturing
Exactly. I'm not a chip weanie. But I was full time on the project for months, proding Xylinks (or however you spell it) emulations of the new part finding compatibility flaws empirically through contrived tests and running applications. The damn game programmers seem able to figure out some way to…
Gary, Yeah, I noticed the same. The only problem I had with 2.346 is that it does not like bad phone lines (just like I have ). It hangs if the lines are not up to snuff right after passing the cover page and will not log off (only does…
=>an A4000/040 with Toaster installed, 2 meg chip ram, 18 meg ram, and 240 =>meg HD No nothing wrong with this. It is helpful though in the future so that when (or should I say if now ) a problem does arise common references can be used (ie using commands…
Isn't there a seperate board that attaches to the A1230? Cannot remember what the conditions are over this. You may want to ask the GVP tech over in the GVP forum.. Trent One of the "Frozen Chosen"
Steven, Oldies are goldies … BTW I enjoyed your informative message about empser.device at AmigaVend/UU sec, much better than Big Jim himself (IMHO) and I'm looking forward to a empscsi.device report because I don't believe in Emplant Hardware Manual anymore (after strange test results) which told me this dev will…
Alex, Demise of Commodore does not mean the demise of your companies Amiga base customers. I purchased your modem because if I needed support you're here, for me, and not for Commodore. When and if the Amiga dies, I would expect that Supra would still support me. After all, if…
To get Super 72 I THINK you need the updated chip set (2meg Agnus, new Paula). Do you have these? Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ
Funny thing… :^) In the June issue of Amiga User, on pages 2 and 3 there is an ad for a mail order company that shows the IBM Emplant module for 89.00 pounds…. do they know something we don't…. Hmmmmm!!!!! Catya,
Thanks Jonathan, I'll look forward to hearing about its development. Chris…….
Your welcome! I was surprised how well it looked after I tried it! Now for the big question, why didn't they build it into the adapter???? Bob Comer — AmigaDOS and OS/2, the only way to compute! Cheyenne, Wyoming U.S.A.
ICD's coming out with a SCSI board. It plugs into the IDE connector, so it'll be somewhat slow. I ordered one yesterday. 🙂 $119 Bob Comer — AmigaDOS and OS/2, the only way to compute! Cheyenne, Wyoming U.S.A.
Dale: Is this a fan that replaces the one in your power supply, or actually fits on top of the CPU? I did have to add a fan for my Warp Engine because the 4 SIMM's plus CPU generate a lot of heat. So much so that I was getting…
#ProDraw to Mac/IBM?
Message #151468
Does anyone know how to (or if you can) transfer a ProDraw clip to a Mac or IBM structured drawing format? I've output the clip as an EPSF file, but evidently Gold Disk's postscript can't be read by PhotoShop 'cause the "postscript is too old." I take this to mean…
Dale, Ya, Dealing with companies in Addresser isn't the best. Originally, in version 1.0, Addresser didn't even have a field for companies. The way I deal with it is buy putting the description of what the company does in the first and Last field. That way, when you go into…
Don, I don't see why not, but I will check for sure tomorrow in the Motorola data book. Dean Brown DKB

Hello Darren, >>> Where about's in the uk are you? Is your phone line connected to mercury? How do you access CIS at the moment? What do you mean when you say that "the menus do not appear to change".
Thanks, I do have CrossDOS, but the docs I have for it came with the standalone version I got before I upgraded my operating software, and they don't say anything about hard drives (removable or otherwise). I'll give it a try anyway, and ask more questions if I can't get…
#WANTED : AMIVR
Message #151462
Hello all, I am looking for a product called AMIVR. This product has unfortunatly been discontinued and I need to get my hands on one for an up and coming project. What AMIVR contains is one LCD 3D glasses and the development libraries. Also looking for SEGA Glasses and POWERGLOVES.…
Richard: I have seen adds for new ES300c scanners for $399. I don't know how much the Imagemaster software sells for but you may be asking to much. Norm From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
Dale: I think the company that sells the 300watt A2000 power supplies also upgrades A4000 power supplies. I don't know if they do anything with the fan though. I can't think of the company name off hand. Norm From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
Michael, >>Forgive me if You already know this stuff. I don't know what your level of familiarity is with the Amiga.

#I screwed up bad…
Message #151456
Yeah, you're right. AmigaDos (rightly) won't let you give the name of an existing dsirectory to a drawer, since apart from the icon, they are functionally the same thing. That's also the beauty of AmigaDos, though: that you can do a lot of things via the Workbench OR the shell.…
Len, you may be surprised to learn how other novices will now look to you as a wise person who has deep insight into the workings of the Amiga. ..It's amazing how quickly you become an expert! 🙂 –Jim
Ray Prachun left Commodore shortly after making the various remarks that have been widely reported on the networks. The two events are not related: it was an amiable departure. As I understand it, what Ray said was correct and fully supported by Commodore Canada. Ray's comments, however, were part of…
That is a problem.. I had to do a conversion of a chip that the designer left the company and if had *any* documentation he took it with.. and it took several months just to get the *bloody* thing speced out.. I don't have too megs 'cause my Flicker fixer…
Wesley, Yes…the ball is supposed to be loose in the socket. I'd strongly suspect that the rollers inside the mouse are dirty. You'll see the twist open cover where the ball sits. Open the cover and look at the rollers inside. IF they look like they've got little rubber bands…
Is it the same as Plannar Chip conversion? (A la Wolfenstein 3D) Joe Costa
John, Yes…the up and down arrow keys will scroll thru the last X number of commands. You can edit the command lines and re-execute them no matter where the cursor is on the command line. Use left and right arrow keys to move the cursor for editiing, you'll be in…
Bruno, Well, I guess the A2630 isn't properly designed if what you described is the case. Technically, you'd expect that any ram added to the board should get merged into one chunk unless the accelerator doesn't have an MMU. When I had my 2000 I only had a much older…
Phil, Yes, that's almost true until you figure in the monitor and keyboard. Plan on at least $199 for the cheapest monitor and $80 for the cheapest keyboard. If you get the better Apple monitor it's around $300 and the extended keyboard is about $125. Of course you can get…
Thanx Karl.
All my girlfriend would be using it for is to Word Process and some record keeping. I can put 2.04 in too fairly easily. If I can't find a CDTV Keyboard I'll probably take yer Cable. Thanx.
I have an A3000 and am 99% certain that its NOT the same kind of connector. Thanx for the info I'll try it.

#Rumor Update
Message #151431
IM R/t requires one meg of chip for most applications, 2 megs is a VERY good idea, but one meg will do pretty well – the only exception is if you are retargeting to an OpalVision board, in which case IM R/t does want two megs if you want to…

So, can you upgrade my GPFax v2.01S? Or do I have to send the original disk to Australia? Regards Rafa …via AutoPilot 1.72 from Berlin
Mitch, If my friend finds any, I'll let you know. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Trent, Yes, I have the 2.346 version also. I bought it directly from Dr. Perry at GP Software. It has worked very well so far with four different brands of modems I have tested. I have had much better luck bypassing Supra also. // Gary Vander Mei on Auto-Pilot \X/
Robert, When I had a bad version of GPFax, Supra was of NO help to me. Numberous pleas for help were met with form letter respnoses. Only Dr. Perry offered to help me out. He sent me a replacement disk all the way from Australia. Supra had such a "don't…
Alex, GV>>they only have license to sell the Supra-only version.>Sorry but that's wrong. Supra has from the beginning>the demise of Commodore, doesn't help the decision-making process
PMJI This isn't true with DKB 2632 eg. if you use a 8MB SIMM mixed with a 16MB one, the biggest AVAILable chunk will be just 8MB (due board design perhaps?). So I was forced to change my 8MB SIMM with a second 16MB SIMM and afterwards together with the…

May/June Fish CD problem
Message #151420
Mike, What version of the ASIMware CDFS are you using? Had the same problem with the FrozenFish CDROM. Called ASIMWARE, they supplied me with their latest update. Free of charge. (the device and handler are version 2.6 and 1.10) I use an A2000 with GForce030 40/40/4 and a Toshiba XM4101B.…
