Jim, well, yeah, we did win, I think. [A Toyota turns to a BMW and asks, 'Who won the war?'] Actually, if you look at it from a historical process, each and every war that the US engaged in can be traced to a similiar jump in both the power…
Frederic, actually, I do some pontificating in other forums on the greatness of the Amiga. Sad to say, most people agree. It's d*mn*d hard to start an argument when everyone agrees on the superiority of the Amiga . And yes, I was serious about the French Presidential elections. How are…
Don, the original intent of any knife is the slicing of some form of flesh, be it animal or plant. The applicability of such for both licit and illicit activities is exactly the same, they cleave said flesh. Now to the fundamental question. How many people have been killed by…
DJ, and they keep you warm in these air-conditioned spaces!
Michael, I did wonder where the heck release 2 went, but since it basically works, I wasn't complaining. All of my problems are in the plotting area, and I don't use that much any more. It'd be nice if it were free, but I'll hold my breath (and my VISA…
Liquidator…wasnt that a brand of blenders in the 70's? Joe Costa
I agree, and so did the founding fathers. -larry
Thanks. I don't have a 4000, so I don't know much about what is available on it. Too bad that being a sysop does not automatically make one able to get the latest and greatest…..but that's the way it is. —Betty
I know of more than one verifiable bad experience with Computer Answers of Canada. Beware.
Larry, Product liability adds significantly to the cost. Don
Larry, There are very few things that can't cause harm if used improperly or taken to the extreme. The original intent of the item, and its applicability for legal activities that becomes the deciding factor. Don
Eet, The Uzzi is "useful" for just about any crime you'd want to commit. Don
Brian, Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I'll try that. Boyd Parmeter
Betty, Thanks. I'll try that. Boyd Parmeter
> Multiple layers, from 7 to 11 or 12. Ahh! Yup.. that would do it, alright. That's a lot of material. -larry
Andres: Thanks for your long-distance help! Two problems with your theory, though: 1) I do not have an accellerated A3000. Mine is out-of-the-box, with only RAM added. 2) I do not have Cross-PC mounted. The only driver in DosDrivers is Pipe:. I'm sure SetPatch crashes because I can get no…
Harry… Thanks for the reply & advice. I have tried your suggestion about entering the 'CPU Cache' command. That works. I have since put it in my User-Startup file, due to the increased performance I get in that mode. The SetPatch is commented-out. The only thing I can think of…

#EPSON printer
Message #166087
Wolf, Thanks for responding to my plea for help. I will be very much interested in Studio 2 when it is out. How will you let us know? I guess I have expected too much after using MS Word and WordPerfect 6 with scalable fonts on the MS DOS platforms.…
Don, Is this the A3640 daughtercard? If so, it doesn't take a great deal. You need to change two jumpers, install the card, get the 68040.library file and the latest SetPatch. The jumpers are J100 and J104, I believe. J100 is a three pin jumper normally on pins 2-3, and…
Louis, There is an Arexx macro for envelope printing with the HP printers and Finalwriter, in the Amigavendor forum, library 12: Envelo.lha. Put it in your FWMacros drawer. Then, just highlite the address info in your FW doc, and activate the macro. It will do the rest. Gary on AutoPilot…
Karl, Well, not exactly. According to Amax IV if you have an Amiga network card in your computer, the Mac emulation can use it. Leastwise, that's what the docs imply. Any Amiga device can be accessed by Amax IV and used by the emulation. However, you need the Amiga network…
Multiple layers, from 7 to 11 or 12. -Karl
Steve Thanks for the info on muidev.lha. Barry ** Barry Balderston AMIGA 2000/2.1 ** ** 2144 Golf Links Road, Sierra Vista, AZ 85635 **
> Very true. I read somewhere recently that the 620 will run around 20-25% > behind the Alpha, but those were preliminary numbers. I suspect that the announcement mid this month with reveal numbers better than original IBM/Moto forcast from 18 months ago, but probably slightly behind the 300Mhz Alpha.…
Interesting that Kevlar vests are so expensive. I used Kevlar to build a cockpit coaming for an airplane, once, and though the cloth was a little more expensive that the equivalent fiberglass cloth, it was not overly much more. -larry
Given that reasoning, those folks better start thinking about restricting computers, cars, knives, boots, fists, and so on. The message I was responding to said, basically, that we need to ban assault weapons because the writer "doesn't want his neighbour to have automatic weapons." -larry
#A4000 040 into 3000T
Message #166075
Is it possible to mount an amiga 040 module into the 3000 tower and if so what needs to be done. thanks
Dale – > This doesn't sound right. My impression was that SCSI-III was in the > very preliminary stages Just reporting what I'm told. If I learn more, I'll pass it along. Any knowledge of differences between II and III ? jsaklad@welchlink.welch.jhu.edu . . JimDoc, on AutoPilot
Whacha askin' for an A1200 with a little HD? Steve
Childrens Software
Message #166069
I have an early Amiga 500 that I let my kids use. I have experienced trouble finding local software sources and am leery of buying mail order without some advice from those who are experienced with a particular software title. I need a mail order source for children's educational software.…
Brian, I was told last year that, due to them not releasing Release 2 for Amiga, that we would get the upgrade for free. When I talked to the man (Jose Korpus) a week or two ago that he "thought" we would still be getting the free upgrade. Since I…
Hi John, >> Should I stick with II for reliability?
Nonsense; the reason there have been only a few crimes committed with fully automatic weapons is that full auto weapons are lousy for most applications. BTW, Don, I want your gun(s). Get AutoPilot, or get lost! Eet
I really can not say it is necessary but have had no problems with choseing my own colors. What did Adam do to God to have made Him put Eve in the Garden?
John… I would appreciate receiving a list of the 1200's you have and their prices. I mostly need a working motherboard cheap. ..Carl
#Prt Envelopes w/ HP
Message #166062
Has anyone discovered a way to have a #10 business envelope addressed with an HP LaserJet 4MP and Final Writer? I set the HP for COM10 and, tried using custom, and other settings on FW, but to no avail. —Speeding along at 14400 via AutoPilot Lou Yurcsak
HI. I am using TimeTracker as one of my 'bootup' programs. I am only using this for a schedual/nag type of utility though. I have come across a program that may be of some help to you: TimeKeep ——– —————————–(From the docs)————————– TimeKeep is a time-clock utility for keeping track…
Oh, I think it sort of depends on how you ask the question. If you just ask "Do you think we should have Gun Control", you naturally get a very large positive response. Nobody is in favor of criminals owning firearms, after all. What those simple-minded polls do NOT measure…
Fred, if you think no one here is interested in the French elections, you have a sad surprise coming. Most of us are interested in EVERYTHING. That's how you can tell you're in an Amiga forum rather than, say, IBM Sys. -Karl
Ah, so THAT'S what Soapbox is. Thanks, I couldn't figure out the difference. -Karl
>Amax II does not support network cards, although Amax IV does. Really? You mean I could connect my AMax IV equipped Amiga to a netware and be there not only as an Amiga (via Oxxi's client software) but as a Mac? Fascinating! Do you have any details? -Karl
That reminds me of the advice to computer repairmen and network consultants- Always work in private. -Karl
The best way is to have something like Directory Opus which pretty much automates building and extracting from archives. Otherwise, you have to do what Steve says. -Karl
Oh, I'm surviving, Larry gui… that's all I'm allowed, y'know 😉 A few months back they had a show at the mall here (well, we do have more than one, but.. :), and there was a 42 Willy's Jeep with a 50 cal machine gun mounted on it. A guy…
uhm.. thanks steve. Vic got me that one. It has a nasty habit of telling me that my tablet isn't connected after about 2 minutes. Replaced a power supply, the first time cause of that. Thanks anyway, tho. Get AutoPilot, or get lost! Eet
They probably haven't been replaced in thirty years. Talk about they don't make them the way they used to. Actually one nice thing is you can drive your Conrad-Johnson from the same power supply … DJ On AP from Queens, the thrill and excitement of the Big Apple Where a…
Would you consider these as sort of hardware stroked fonts? BTW, these are great for people with eyesight problems … DJ On AP from Queens, the thrill and excitement of the Big Apple Where a little paranoia is always a healthy attitude …
Betty, Actually he must have at least 3.0, and can read hi-density disks. That is, unless there's something wrong with his floppy drive. So he normally should have no problem at a system level reading 1.4MB disks. DJ On AP from Queens, the thrill and excitement of the Big Apple…
My install script is also 40.17. Most interesting. Maybe because I had a FFS in L: when the install occured? What DOES your HDToolbox say about the path for your file system? DJ On AP from Queens, the thrill and excitement of the Big Apple Where a little paranoia is…
