Yeah, the heatsink fan is for your 040. So you'd only need the alarm. I don't know whether the model which also monitors fan RPM would work with the GVP fan, but its probably worth a shot. My A4000 blows air out the power supply. (OK, it doesn't really blow,…
That's the sort of info I was looking for. Between you guys, and Bruce, I feel confident that this is a mod I should try myself. Thanks! Erik Flom
Thanks much! The message I DL'd was lacking in technical details, so I was unsure if it was some evil prank, or for real. Bruce, from PreVue Tech., assured me it would work on the SyncStrainer too. Thanks, Erik Flom
Thanks much for the prompt reply! This is good news! The exlpanation really helped. The message I DL'd didn't really explain why or how the mod worked – that was enough to make me kind of leery of the whole idea. That's very generous of you to offer to swap…
Any comment about Jim's announcements for a 486 emulator for PowerPC based Macs ? Published in this week's PCWeek, a lot of people seem suspicious, at least… Fred
I think Grant meant "still operating" when he talked about CBM not being in business. Still, as long as I get my hard drive back… Mal
#Starting to sink in
Message #151406
Hi Trent, Well it worked! This working in shell is starting to sink in. After decompressing the files successfully, I transferred them to a seperate drawer and tried to start the program in WB with double clicking. After getting 'Program failed (error….etc)' feedback, it finally dawned on me to go…
Hi ! Now I read your second message ! Nope, I never seen an adapter for the CDTV Trackball. Sorry ! Cheers Richard
All I wan to know is who _was_ the bonehead that came up with the current fan placement on the 4000?!? I mean seriously…The concept of sucking hot air into a leaky metal power supply case really blows! (So to speak. :^) Now would this heatsink fan go ontop of…
I talked with Joe–he basically said, "Buy more memory." At this point, I have spent a lot more than I originally planned on, so I'm thinking about returning the whole kit and kaboodle for a refund. For the amount of money I've already spent, as well as what I will…
From what I understand, it will. Regards, Phil Combs
By "upgradable" I meant that you could by an upgrade, not that you could apply a patch. My message was that I was pretty sure that the upgrade is licensed for sale by Supra. I know that it is not a patch but a new disk. That is irrelevant to…
Try cleaning it first, and see if that helps. Most computer stores carry mouse cleaning kits. — Dale L. Larson, Intangible Assets Manufacturing
Ron, Indeed, there are several non-linear editing systems that are already using Motion JPEG. Avid comes to mind readily. As you have surmised, it is the audio encoding that is the most troublesome. In addition, if a Motion JPEG audio standard became available, I doubt that the compression ratio would…
Stephen, Things are very busy here at Scala. In an effort to diversify, we haven been applying our software technology skills to other areas. This includes developing the kernel, interface and authoring systems for General Instrument's satellite transceivers set-top boxes. We have made some other strategic alliances with other companies…

Message #151391
The reason that there isn't a patch is the way the new version was done. It's kind of two separate programs on one disk. It's not as if you can install as class 1 then "switch" to class 2. You would need to reinstall from the oringal disk and install…

I need some pointers on improving mouse performance. My mouse sticks when I drag it towards myself (down). The ball is loose in its socket. Is this thing shot or can I fix it? Wes
Monitors
Message #151388
Does anybody know about monitors? I have an Amiga 600 playing through the TV. I am about to get an Apple Mac, and would like to get a monitor for it which will work with both the Mac and the Amiga. None of the Apple or Amiga dealers seems to…
A/C's Guide doesn't have any info on Order Desk, including an address or number for Gramma. Do you? — Dale L. Larson, Intangible Assets Manufacturing
Good to hear it. If you have any problems just ask, either here, or if the problem is with autopilot ask in the AmigaVendor forum. Adrian It's really happening to Ya!
Yeah, it should. Thanks, Chris J.–>on AP
No, maybe I should. I hated NAG, but "Order Desk" does kinda sound like what I might need. Thanks for the pointer. — Dale L. Larson, Intangible Assets Manufacturing
Trent… Yeah I already have a GVP 030/40 in the belly of the beast (the old version without SCSI so I would need to upgrade and just don't have the cash right now. That is about all that is missing on that computer. ..Carl
Yes, I did move DBLNTSC from my 1200 to my 2000, however, Super 72 from AmigaDOS 2.1 isn't showing up either.

Carl, PMFJI No SCSI for the A1200? I'm running an A1200 and all my externals are SCSI (1 80mb Quantum, 1 240mb Quantum, a Chinon 535 CD-ROM and a Viper tape drive). GVP makes a SCSI/RAM+ board that fits in the A1200s belly slot (as well as the A1230 Accelerator/SCSI…

Gary, The 2.346 version *is* different from every other version (I have it), and it supports both Supra modems as well as generic modems. It asks what type of modem you have at installation (or will check to see what type of modem you do have) and will install the…
Len, My patience never runs out, I was there where you are now once and I know how it can be. OK, looks like from your post that there are a number of things that you have that can make life nice and easy (ie enough RAM and a harddrive)..…
Addresser also doesn't work with my HP4MP. It prints sideways, and I can't find a configuration option to change that. It also gave me several enforcer hits, doesn't handle companies well (i.e., with no person names), doesn't appear to handle fax numbers or multiple numbers (some people on my list…
It also has CD-ROM controller stuff and other glue for the CD32 board. — Dale L. Larson, Intangible Assets Manufacturing

John, I just received HiSoft Basic 2 today! So far, so good. I still need more time to go over the program. But so far it seems very nice, especially the new manual. You get one disk, a new manual and a vinyl disk holder. I'll report here when I've…

The very latest rumour
Message #151360
To be sure, American is out for American – PERIOD. A judgement born of an unfortunate experience with American including return of product for credit which had been opened and used, some components missing, etc. American isn't what I'd call a reliable source.

DAT Tape Special
Message #151359
6200HS is latest model 2Gig. 6130FS is older model 1.3Gig, 6130HS is later model 1.3Gig. 1.3Gig drives do not support the use of the 90 meter 2Gig tapes. If you want the 2Gig storage, get the 6200HS.
JC >>I just have a question: What's an Akiko?
JD >>I was wondering if there is there is a hot key combination in the CLI to "retype" the last command line like the "F3" idea in MS-DOS on the PC?

BEWARE – tape drives from 3rd party refurb' houses may or may not be comparable in quality to MegageM's offering. MegageM offers a full 6 months warranty (and these drives are so good only 1 came back in 2 years – dozens sold). MegageM also offers real Amiga-knowledgeable tech support…

thanks for your comments on the AmiVRPro VR headset experience. just got a look at cyberflights myself (and it sure does look like most of the landscapes came from FractalPro, but that isn't mentioned on the part of the tape I've seen so far). I'd like to try some of…

VLab Motion does support Motion JPEG by hardware so you can in- and output films to your computer very easily and fast. But as said, using the CCube hardware on the VLab motion for doing the JPEG is not necessarily the best idea. But at least you can play any…

#Last command in CLI?

Hi I was wondering if there is there is a hot key combination in the CLI to "retype" the last command line like the "F3" idea in MS-DOS on the PC? Thanks for your help! John PS, is there a book or FAQ file on hotkey combinations available? Thanks.
