New CD-ROM Console Rumor
Message #86693
Well the Headstart's still 1 month away and I think that's what killed the deal, I heard that Philips may have had some interests in Headstart, but I'm unsure. Can anyone confirm that? Ben

New CD-ROM Console Rumor
Message #86692
Unknown, the deal fell through, and he wouldn't tell me any more (AND BOY DID I TRY). Ben
C= is working on a CD Rom computer but haven't announced it becuase philips pulled out of the deal. They are looking for other manufacturers though, I haven't heard of a Game only console though.

#Trade-in Offer Rumor
Message #86221
$1000 & A1000 gives you a 2000 starting next week is no rumor, it IS the A1000 users LAST chance starting next week, according to my C= sales rep. We'll be filled in on all the gory details next week, as well as some new Amiga bundles but the story…
This is indeed a welcome change in attitude, I'd love to see more of this.
Gee, if they had replied to me or Black Belt, that way or at least that FAST none of this would have happened.
The Magnovox VGA moniter requires you to have Fliker Fixer to run it. Ben

IFF is a myth
Message #81109
DPaint canit handle 8-bit planes but EA's Deluxe Photolab paint program reads them just fine, so does impulses Diamond, and both of them interpet the file into Ham format. So IBM Dpaint II pc files are fair game for amigans. Ben

NewTek defended
Message #81101
Some things said WEREN'T half truths but the Whole truth, as quoted from an official NewTek rep, the confusion lies in them not being clear with two seperate parties and when those two events were compared, that caused an opinion to be formed. My statement was confirmed by another user…

Compatible Monitors
Message #81097
Your CGA monitor will work with the Amiga BUT you won't have access to the 4096 colors, you'll only get 16 static colors. Ben

HAM-E / NewTek
Message #80950
Gee I just noticed that version 4 of an unmentionable digitizer does not have the said FCC notice. Could it be that the same people who are sending lawyers after people, saying that thier legal rights have been violated are flagrantely violating FEDERAL laws? Hmmm, I guess they can't blame…
Your right they should have told him upfront instead of waiting, now statements that they made to him, myself, and others here that are evident from a few messages back have caused this wrong impression and now NewTek seeks to punish us for our opinions based on thier statements. I'm…
Oh, gee this is funny, I've just replied to an E-plex message telling them to talk to me in this forum or this might start happening. I hope they listen, or are they going to blame this on me and Black Belt too?
Sorry I meant Lawyer not Lawer, my Spelling slips alot when I'm mad. Ben
Hey Ben, your not alone in the legal threat area. I just had to reply to a rather threatening message myself, and I did drop the name of the representative in that message who spoke to me. That's all I'll say about it becuase that happens to fall just within…
Okay I can wait (really, honest, okay I'm lying). Ben
I'll do my best. BTW when shall we (developers) see the board, early or late Jan.? Ben
I'll gladly wok on the DigiView support. (at least for translating the Raw files)
It will when they get caght with thier product pants down just watch. (Heh, Heh, Heh I see a definate upstage here for Microillusions).

HAM-E / NewTek
Message #79835
That's true but think of Photon Paint, Dpaint, and according to Obert at A-squared Live! (wich by the way can digitize 6 bits per gun already). All someone need do for people with a DigiView is make a translator for thier raw format (wich now is IFF24 standard) (and that…
Yep, that's my point, and I also don't think they're in any position to market it before yours becomes a standard. I feel NewTek's going to miss the boat on this one, especially if Babzoo soft releases Photon Paint with those features or an EA Deluxe Paint IV (spoke to…
I spoke to NewTek about your board when you were first talking about it, they said that when they heard about it one of thier engineers scralled on a napkin and said "this is what they are doing" It sonds like NewTek is stealing your idea AFTER the fact in…
CMI did do an apple Talk board for the A2000, their products were selling PHENOMALLY well, (according to my 4 different distributors) they were going to move to new offices, then they VANISHED. None of my distributors know where they are, and they are desperate for more of thier products,…

The PC Elevator no linger works on ANY BridgeBoard running 2.0 of the software according to the manufacturer Applied Reasoning Corp (I dug the address and phone # from AC new Buyers Guide). Heavy Sigh.

AT Bridge Speed up
Message #71875
So the elevator works on the AT's 16 bit bus? If so (even if it doesn't) do you have the co. name, address, & phone #? Ben
Most VGA and super VGA cards have 262,000 colors and 64 grayscales none of the VGA software I've seen has supported a pallete of 16.7 mill Ben
The $2500.00 screen at Macy's is a color organ only! (A real expensive toy)! as for Visual Aurals' address, it's: Visual Aural Animations P.O. Box 4898 arcata Calif 95521. I'll E-mail you the Phone #. Ben
The Mindlight exists in a package called Visual AUurals for about 169-179$. The package takes sounds and produces light shows in any resolution to the sounds (color organ of sorts), it can also take picture files and cycle or shatter them to music, or paint with brushes, as well as…
Use the RM Function to read this message.
That's wierd, Ihave a rev 6.1 with a gvp 46 meg drive and 2058 board that works fine. I've also installed in other 6.1 & 6.0 machines supra ram, and hard disks with no hitch. Your machine or the board must be defective. Oh I also just installed a Live!…
Yes, you did but someone else said it couldn't be done, so it beared repeating. Ben

#Framegrabber Strangeness
Message #22772
That's obviouslly very old information! They have released new software that's supports the 68020 MONTHS ago, I have it and the 2500 at work runs the Framegrabber just fine IN 68020 MODE. The software is called FG020on the new FG disks. Ben
That's stuff's beyond me. Ben

FRAME GRABBER
Message #65680
Yes, the omlet taste great, but the P/S seems to survive. On the serious side the only time I've gotten offsynch pics is when the source tape is bad or copy protected (video stabalizers fix this, so do copy gaurd sequelchers), so what's your source? Oh yeah in order to…
so you were talking horiz not vert? Then I concur. Ben

Magic Black Box.
Message #62830
It was AmigaWorld and they seemed to have ticked off Impulse becuase they said that the VD1 only worked in 320 x 400 when it works in all res modes and can capute and display in true NTSC (up to 16 million colors) like the FrameBuffer. Ben

Video Toaster
Message #62829
broadcast uses a maximum of 525 lines not 800 to 1000 (that's why if you translate those res's to ntsc they get degraded.) Only HDTV will do 1000 lines and that's not around (commercially) in th US. Ben
I find out pricing for you, but as for testing it's unfortunate but there is no way to know until you have a hard disk (nasty cycle huh?). of course the pals can be replaced with better ones and can be grounded, that usually works. Ben
