#ORPHANS GALORE
Message #165254
All you fellow Amigans amuse me. Want to know what REALLY FRUSTRATING IS? I own a TI99, an Atari ST, and my newest orphan, an Amiga 3000. I suppose some day I will have to buy a clone, but for now, all my old machines still do the great things…
Brian, Thanks MonEd has worked perfectly Matthew
#MagicWB-Demon
Message #165250
Alan: I am about to install Magic WB 2.0… is that MWB Demon absolutely neccesary to the operation of Magic WB? I want to use a custom pallette with Magic WB… won't the Demon insist that I use the Magic WB standard colors? Can I just live without it? —…
Oops! I had switched the the MS-DOS side of my brain (the dumb side) and wasn't thinking at all of the Amiga CD-ROM. You're right, of course. –Jim
AMaxIV & WB 3.1
Message #165248
AMIA does not work with the AMAX IV emulation. It can be used with EMPLANT's MAC emulation or as a stand alone disk reading/writing solution.
You have an AMOUSE on the Amiga side? Hmmm. All I've got is MouseMouseServ in PC/Services. Maybe that's my problem… …Jim
#AMaxIV & WB 3.1
Message #165246
You can NOT convert one type of disk into another.. 400K, 800K, and 1.44mb disks all use different directory structures… the result is that any file exceeding the length of what will fit into an allocation block will be unusable. You could use MultiOSFileSystem and mount the floppy on the…
#wtd.: M.U.L.E.
Message #165245
Where can I buy (no illegal copies – please!) the game M.U.L.E. – running on my AMIGA 1000 / WB 1.3 ? sw
#AMIGA 1000 & PC
Message #165244
Hi everyone, my A1000 has had a hard time in the last three months, since I bought a PC. But – I would like to run both systems connected. Any suggestions? What utility can 'translate' the data on my AMIGA disks to the disks used with DOS? sw
Amiga CD ROM A570 & PC ?

Hi Robert, >> It's a difficult call – invest the money in SoftLogic It IS a tough call. I, like the fool I am, parted with my money and have ordered the upgrade. Hopefully it won't be too long before the promised goods are delivered. I believe that if one…

Nice to see you finally got it running. And I'm keeping YOUR message to Steve in case MY system ever needs to be redone. -Karl
#Need help with printer
Message #165235
O.K., I'll try to be more specific. The word processor I'm using, excellence! 3.0, allows selection of the internal printer font, or so it says. The manual states that this is done by sending FON# codes to the printer. However, selecting different font numbers have no effect whatsoever, with the…
#SCSI Time-out
Message #165234
I'm looking for information about the setting of the SCSI time-out on an A3000 with OS3.1 installed and functioning. I needed to set,using BattMem, the long SCSI time-out to 2 secs in-order for OS3.1 to boot my computer. However, the time-out seems to be more like 20 secs before the…
GetClock.rexx problem

Steven, It's a good thing you don't need to use IconX, since it bombs when you try it out. James Du Bois via AutoPilot Don't ya just love remote control?
#Amiga mouse as DOS mouse
Message #165232
I hope I haven't missed the beginning of this thread so that I don't know what I'm talking about, BUT… I have been able to use my Amiga mouse with both my old 2088 bridgeboard and the 2286 BB. I start, in order, PCDisk, Amouse and PC Color from the…
#Help?
Message #165231
Garry, what version of ProWrite do you use? In version 3.0 and up (I use V 3.3), you have to set the printer density within PW, as it takes precedence over the Preferences settings. (It's in the Page Setup menuitem, just above the Print menuitem.) I get some really, really…
#Commodore Name
Message #165230
Went to a computer gathering in Toronto today. The ComputerFest is almost exclusively MS-DOS. The Commodore name was there, but not as we know it: I gather that some while back, Commodore licensed other manufacturers to put the C= label on their MS-DOS Merchandise. So there was a range of…
SCSI Tape Drive Source
Message #165227
The MegageM DAT special is unfortunately not passed – regular price of $649 back in effect. Drives are getting scarcer and I may be moving into support of a different drive type before end of the year. The WangTEK 6200HS has been an excellent workhorse for my customers for the…
A4000 040 board
Message #165226
I want to try it out and only am concerned for that purpose about things like specific A3000 board revs, chip versions, jumper changes, etc. being required to try the 3640 board in the A3000. I have some customers who have A3000's installed 'open frame' in some kiosks, etc.
A4000 CPU in A3000?
Message #165225
Thanks, dale – not worried about fit, just about if there are specific A3000 motherboard revs or chip versions (DMAC, RAMSEY, etc.) that are required, jumper changes, etc. If you know of any of those kind of limitations, please advise.
#turning HD off
Message #165224
Bruce, Thanx for the input! I had thought of using SCSI ID switcher but do not have the slightest idea where to get any of these beast or what they would cost. Any ideas? As far as no power to the drives, wouldn't it act the same as a removable…

Michael, I missed the parent to your message to Dan Stets, but I own (a copy) VoRecOne. It was published by Impulse (the Imagine people). While it is still somewhat supported there has been no updates in quite some time. The copy I have is for sale, if interested, it…
DJ, Well, I don't know if it's just me being overjoyed with something I just bought, but I REALLY like Final Writer, which I picked up yesterday (and would have messed with all night had my wife not insisted that I need sleep. Who needs sleep?!?) Took to it like…
Jeff Can't recall what lies I told you last but FlickerFixer by MicroWay is out of business. ICD on the other hand is still alive and planning to stay that way. You can find them on the amiga vendor forum of Genie. Their FFV-2 board is a fine product but…
Yes, you can repost the 3.0a patch on your user group's bulletin board as long as the entire archive is left intact. You may also wish to repost my message from our section in the amigaven forum that gave some last minute instructions and notes for it. Thanks, Michael @…

#AMAX and 3.1
Message #165206
Thanks for your comments. If you look at the message to Steve Kapplin you will see that the problem is over, even if I had to use a route including the Mac DiskTools diskette. At least it works repeatedly. Regards, Norm
#AMaxIV & WB 3.1
Message #165205
Steven: Well, the answer was, as you suggested, to use the Mac DiskTools diskette. For some reason this diskette would boot the system while the install disk would not. I now have WB 3.1, AMax IV with System 7.1.1 running like clockwork on my A3000 using an external dbk HD…
#Removable disk & WB3.1
Message #165204
Now that I have installed WB3.1, I can't seem to format Bernoulli 44 MB removable disks. Under WB2.04 it was not problem at all. I just did a partitioning with the HD Tools, did a low level format, saved the information to the disk and after leaving the HDTools, the…
Oh well, another one to add to the list. OS3.1 brought us no colour with PPage, another fax, as usual no reply… I wonder if someone ever bothered to figure out what the legal position is in cases like this. The licence agreement does not seem to leave much possibility…
Malcolm, While HyperBook may be a good program, I am getting severe indigestion whenever the name GoldDisk pops up on my screen. No matter what they are publishing for whatever platform, I've had it with them. I know that this is not fair to the authors of some good programs…
MagicWB
Message #165199
Alexander Wiggert writes (about shareware): "Yes, but there's some idealistic idea behind it. Like that it's affordable, that the feedback between the programmer and the customer is much better, faster and more effective, that you can try _before_ you buy, etc." I can certainly vouch for all of that with…

#radio clock

I have just installed a radio clock and software of OSAmatic GmbH in Zittau (Sachsen/ Germany). It works fine and reliable – receiving the time Signals of DCF77 in Mainflingen on 77.5 kHz. Should do in all of Central Europe and beyond. Eberhard Spittler // (using AutoPilot V1.74) \X/
