DOS 5.0 comparisons
Message #29512
Has anyone made a comparison of MSDOS 5.0 and DR DOS 5.0 for use on the bridgeboards? I read on GEnie that MSDOS 5.0 does work. Sincerely,, (Mr.) Gayle Lee Fairless 'Perfessor Fearless'
Woody, No, I haven't tried any changes to the printer problem. That's the only glitch. Even my 12-year-old son feels comfortable using your program. I'll try to take careful note of a solution or the exact procedure that eliminates the problem. Oddly enough, the problem didn't show up when I…
#uchmore utility
Message #16688
Roger, What's the advantage of Muchmore? I've seen it on the Fred Fish diskettes. The smooth scrolling is certainly prettier. Uedit would be interesting. When I used a Strip utility, it bunched the text up too much to be easily readable without a lot of editing. Sincerely, (Mr.) Gayle Lee…
David, I shouldn't have any more memory problems now unless I get into fractals, big graphics, rendering, raytracing, or a big sound sample of Handel's Messiah (or something as long). I just installed 2 Meg's of RAM on my A2091 HD controller from Amiga Warehouse. However, I couldn't find the…
Pen Pal and Oki's
Message #21952
Woody, I got the latest version of Pen Pal in the mail (It's registered in my wife's name (Elisa) here in the Rocket City.) Pen Pal is on our Amiga 2000HD with an Okidata Microline 92 connected to the parallel port. The self-test shows Rev. 5. (I'm talking about the…
RAD, I figured that they were some kind of Infernal Blue Machine conspiracy. Eventually, I'll find something to filter them out. With moos regards! Sincerely, (Mr.) Gayle Lee Fairless 'Perfessor Fearless'
David, Well, switching TERM types sometimes seems to produce a change to another keymay so I am experimenting carefully (well, somewhat carefully!). BTW, what is guru meditation number 00000004.00046270? I got it when trying to load Pen Pal into the WorkBench when I had other stuff going. I suspect it…
David, I'm definitely having fun with it. I'm still evaluating JRComm 1.01 but will probably buy it. The Amiga setting in the TERM menu seems to lose characters so I tried the TTY mode. Of course, I haven't read the 80 page UserManual completely yet. Incidently, you haven't seen HOSTILE…
JRCOMM settings
Message #16072
David, BTW, what are good settings to use in JRcomm 1.01 for CIS? It was interesting to use Skypix with a full screen editor (FSE) on a local BBS. Sincerely, (Mr.) Gayle Lee Fairless 'Perfessor Fearless'
New Amiga User
Message #16070
David, We finally got the Amiga 2000HD with the A2232 serial board. When I installed the new A2232 preferences, the old preferences icon stayed around. Should I rename its icon in shell to make sure only the new icon is used? I'm on now using it(the A2232) with JRcom 1.01…

controller / hard drives
Message #13917
Tom, Thanks for your advice! Now all I have to do is hope that the 'wolf at the door' has puppies so that I can sell them! All seriousness aside my wife may shoot me before the Amiga comes if I don't quit pacing the floor! Hard on her carpet,…

A B Switch Box
Message #13915
David, How much does a switch box run in price? Not to change the subject, but what do you know about SMC SOFTWARE PUBLISHERS in CA? They have an ad in the December 1990 Amiga World on page 157 giving (619) 942-9998 as their number. A saleslady called me saying…
Ethan, Thanks for the information. The local sources here in the Rocket City are somewhat confused. Sincerely, (Mr.) Gayle Lee Fairless 'Perfessor Fearless'
Roy, I haven't seen any other date either for the bundles, just the components. Getting $4K before June 1990 would probably mean no Amiga system for a little longer than we had planned. Of course, if I wait long enough, I could probably pick it up for $20 at a…
Roy, Is the 2500/030 also still available until June 15th? Did Commodore publish the educational discount in any of the magazines? Thank you for your information! I had also understood that individual components could not be bought after March 31st but was not worried about that because we were interested…
Betty, The March 31st expiration is on the individual components of a system. The package deals are, IMHO, still available. Prior to March 31st, a student can mix and buy the individaul parts such as drives, BB's, monitors, etc. After March 31st, the student has to take the package deal.…
Mike, I can definitely understand the need to back stuff up. You never know when a piece of code can go haywire. Working on a Z80 assembly real-time operating system for a microprocessor embedded product was a job of mine for seven years. You betcha we backed things up! As…

Lattice chitchat
Message #93171
mike, I was just asking for a general description of its characteristics. We (my wife and I) plan to buy an Amiga system with her student discount just before she graduates and can help pay for it with her job. Mix C runs on my Apple CP/M system. Sincerely, (Mr.)…
Lattice chitchat
Message #92417
How careful should I be with Lattice (once I get an Amiga)? I have been following the various reviews of Lattice and Aztec and know enough to be dangerous (A little knowledge is a dangerous thing!). Anyway, thanks for the reply. Sincerely, (Mr.) Gayle Lee Fairless 'Perfessor Fearless'
Buying an '030?
Message #91778
The 2500/30 is listed at $3,679 educational discount which gets you a A2500/30 68030 CPU, A2286D AT Bridgeboard, and a A1084 RGB color monitor. The A2000HD/PC package is $2,579 with the AT BB and RGB color monitor. That is about $1,100 difference. Since the GVP board is more, the A2500/30…
It seems reasonable that the OS would work. The one from Atlanta sells for about $500 here in a Huntsville store. Of course, it might be cheaper elsewhere. Thanks for the reply! Sincerely, (Mr.) Gayle Lee Fairless 'Perfessor Fearless' P.S. Why is it that the Inboard won't work? But that…
#Bridgeboards & 386 brd
Message #50211
Has anyone used the PC/Elevator from Applied Reasoning, 86 Sherman Street, Cambridge, Mass. 02140 or the Microsoft Inboard 386/PC with either of the Amiga 2000 bridgeboards to upgrade it to a machine with a 80386 microprocessor and appropriate math coprocessor chips? Can a 386 multitasking system such as PC/MOS86 by…
ShowCASE

CASE is an acronym for Commodore Association of the South East. (Southeastern United States, that is!) Its members are user groups such as HACKS (Huntsville Area Commodore Komputer Society) and LUCKY (Louisville Users of Commodore Kentucky). CASE had their third Annual Commodore ShowCASE at the Nashville Civic Center in Tennessee…
