I would be interested in the ethernet card. What model. Is it tci/ip compatible?
There's only one part I disagree with. Yes, my well-being is on the line. No, that doesn't mean that I'll do anything to preserve it. MS people (like any employees at a good company), while motivated by money, are also extremely employable by other companies. If MS asked me to…
Actually, A1200 ROM's aren't surface mounted. There just isn't a version of 3.1 for that machine (yet).
Ron, and you shrug off quite a bit in passing, as usual. It is NOT the cheapest system overall. The cheapest system would obviously (albeit not obvious to you) return as many workers as possible to the work force as soon as possible. True, there is a certain segment, which…
Ron, a most curious choice of parameters. He can't. Unless you go through a lot of legal hoops, installed in the '30's as I recall, you can not legally own an automatic firearm of any type. You have to be a registered collector complete with background checks that make my…

Jim, jeez, I forgot about that approach. Much simpler. And obvious! The Four Seasons of Southern California: Fire, Flood, Earthquake, and Riot.
#screen too far right
Message #165174
Matthew, as I suggested to another user, MonEd.lha in lib 10 might help. Be cautious in using it, i.e. use small steps. The Four Seasons of Southern California: Fire, Flood, Earthquake, and Riot.
#Harddrive HELP!
Message #165173
Leslie, MonEd.lha (lib 10) may help. It's a monitor file editor. Be aware that it is very hazardous to use. Just do things in small (baby) steps and things should work. The Four Seasons of Southern California: Fire, Flood, Earthquake, and Riot.

David, what do your s-s and u-s look like? Also, what configuration are you running (hardware and software). The Four Seasons of Southern California: Fire, Flood, Earthquake, and Riot.

Message #165171
Leslie, while, theoretically, the startup-sequence is supposed to be inviolate, according to (defunct) C= dogma, I have several modifications made to mine. There are times where you absolutely have to place a particular piece of software in the startup-sequence or, otherwise, the software will not function correctly. In almost every…

#Klindike II install
Message #165157
BTW, when setting up Klondike II DO NOT switch any of the other card sets to the first card set. The default set has some gadgets that were not in the original design and the game will crash the system if it doesn't find them (I'm guessing). It's a nice…

Hmm, Supervising Animator at Amblin – sounds like a fun job with 60 hour weeks 8-). That's the Spielberg shop? I always kept hoping he'd spring for the Amiga technology 🙂 Thanks for the 040/060 info. Didn't know the two were pin-compatible. Is the architecture of the 060 more efficient…

#flicker fixer
Message #165148
Thanks for the word, Tom. I've been told the original flicker fixer and the later flicker free video cards are no longer being manufactured by ICD as they are out of business…hoping to find a new or used one hiding out somewhere. jf – lamplight productions ~~~sailing on autopilot~~~
flicker fixer
Message #165147
Thanks for the word Terry. I'll be calling DeVine soon. The MONED shareware program will allow you to tinker with the Amiga monitor drivers at your own risk but I think it allows only small adjustments of the Amiga output video. jf – lamplight productions ~~~sailing on autopilot~~~

Let me know how it goes! btw, the A1200's rom's are not surface maounted. (at least in my 1200 they're not.) Bob Comer Cheyenne, Wyoming U.S.A.

Michael – I've found just the one bug _so far_. I share your frustration with PPage4.1. In fact, PPage crashes even harder since I added a Syquest removeable to my system… 8^( – Rob.. on Amiga via AutoPilot

Mike – Sounds great! Some of the members of a local user's group were my source. I'll pass the info along to them. Would it be legal for me to download the patch and post it on the UG's board? – Rob.. on Amiga via AutoPilot
EGS-Spectrum
Message #165140
Wayne…. there is no EGS Composit Adapter. If you want to tape EGS 24 bit files, (or anims) you can use a PAR Card. Granted, it is an expensive (but fun 😉 toy, but if you need to output anims, it's cheap compared to a single frame recorder. There you…

PMFJI: >" It's Commodore management's fault" How silly we are to even suggest this. I'm sure Mehdi would be the _FIRST_ to tell you that it's just not true. Must have been those "idiots" that worked for him. In the end, though, it was the AMIGA users that were to…

#Hyperbook

HyperBook was published by GoldDisk but programmed by AHA! (i.e., Nick Sullivan and Chris Zamara), the people who brought you: TransWrite, Video Director and Transactor for the Amiga. There's a lot to be said for HyperBook; however, not enough people said it. 🙂 Me, I never even saw it. Malcolm

#social do-gooders
Message #165133
Gee, I don't recall myself demanding "immediate 100% success" in welfare reform. To the contrary. I've said the current system, flawed as it is, probably will never go away entirely, because it's the cheapest system available overall, which makes it a winner among politicians of all stripes, no matter what…

Oh, I quite agree C= screwed up, big time. I wasn't blaming those of us who own Amigas, but it's true that negativity at this point isn't going to help matters.

The First Amendment is not absolute, as the Supreme Court has made clear on several occasions, e.g., you can't yell fire in a crowded theater. Similarly, it's obvious (at least to me) that the Second Amendment isn't absolute, either. One's freedom of speech ends where libel and slander set in;…
#A1200 & 3.1
Message #165129
There *is* no A1200 version, I am told. I ordered a copy of the A2000 version for my other Amiga. The A1200's ROM is surface mounted, I believe, which is why one can't (easily) upgrade. However, someone told me it would be possible to run the 3.1 software with the…

That's nice to hear. Now, will the media be more "PLEASANT" to the Amiga?
