FYI, I just ordered and recieved 2 Busters from SMG and got them in 4 days. Anyone looking for Busters might want to give them a call. Shawn Silent Paw Productions
#Wanted and 4 Sale
Message #147273
Hello all, My company has two small 52 MB Quantums for sale for $30 each (OBO) + s/h. They are about 2 years old and are in good condition. They mainly served as our Amiga DOS drive and utilities drives so they haven't seen the use our larger drives have.…
#VistaPro
Message #147272
Hello there, I noticed your thread that you are involved with VistaPro. I would like to say my company uses VP and I think you all did and excellent job. 🙂 I had a question you might answer, I run a shop with Amigas and a single PC (er, sorry)…
#3000 HD
Message #146945
Thanks for the info…. Is there any way to make absolutly sure (model number wise)? I came home with a case of HD floppies from work and out of the need to live on the edge I stuck on in my 3000. It not only recognized the disk it also…
Portable Amiga
Message #146944
Yes, I hope we can push it out the door a short time after the "reorganization" of CBM. On that note, anyone with better info on what's happening at West Chester? I am not getting too much info out here in Manassas. I know there's alot of new news at…

Was that potatoe or potato, Damm where's Dan Qayle when you need him…… 🙂 Shawn
Sorry, Can't release that right now. Due to the vendors the price can go either way. I would rather tell the right price than to overprice or underprice. The PAWS will accept either a 3000 or 4000 motherboard, hence we are QUITE anxious for the dust to settle in CBM…
Currently the PAWS 3000/4000 has the following specs : Size : 14" x 14" x 4" Weight : 10 pds (loaded) Battery : Currently using Toshiba stock lasting an Adverage of 1.25 hrs per. Display : Two types available, however it is strongly likly that Active Color will NOT be…
A bit of info, There are several companies like mine which market "Amiga Portables." Silent Paw Productions was due to release a 3000 hack that would allow you to turn your 3000 into a portable. The kit includes power supply, monitor (color or mono), and bays for 2 internal devices…
Thank you for the advice, I purchased a COMPAL (not COMPAQ) 15" Flat Screen Monitor for my 4000. It was such a good price I couldn't turn it up. Unfortunatly it suffers from not being able to go down to 15 hz but the rock solid display at 640×480 and…
Its strange that SMG is not doing the repairs, In their notes to the public, during CBM-America's fall, they said they would still honor the warrenties. Have they gone back on this or are they having a problem with parts? Seems strange they are asking for money. I thought CBM…
So the answer is it must scan Vertically at 60 and Horizontally at 15.7? Must both conditions be met? Thanks Shawn

#17" Monitors
Message #145019
Hello all, I will plead ignorance in the matter, but I am looking into buying a 17" monitor for my 4000 and I am find plenty of them meeting the Vertical Scan Rate of the Amiga. I am not certain but I have a strange feeling that the stickers are…
No problem John, I am currently waiting for it to show up on my doorstep. Once I get it in my hands it should be great fun! : ) Shawn Silent Paw Productions
No, I believe the thread was talking about Creative Computers sale of alot of older goodies like a few 3000's and even a PPS Mercury. But alas most of the great to have or hard to find materials are already bought. A Mercury for $127 is a must have price.…
Yes by what I know those prices were real, Unfortunatly by the time AmigaWorld made it to my doorstep it had already made its way to 4 million others so needless to say 99.9% of the "good" stuff has already been sold. Shawn Silent Paw Productions
Yikes, I just ordered a rev -11 buster to replace my rev -09 Buster, which fortunatly is socketed. Along with that I have ordered a WARP Engine 040/40. This I believe replaces the CPU card but I could be just horribly wrong. If it doesn't where in the world would…
I hope your right, After the smoke clears I hope the Amiga emerges stronger. Shawn
I looked into the system and its socketed, The number on top says 390537-09. I believe this means its rev -09. The motherboard is a 4000 rev B. If I put a new Buster into this socket will this solve all my problems or are there others lurking behind the…
#Buster Replacement
Message #143825
I have a socketed Buster rev -09. If I replace this Buster with a rev -11 will all my problems be gone or are their other problems with the motherboard?? Any comments appreciated. Thanks Shawn
BUSTER REVISION

Does anyone here know how I can tell what rev buster I have in my 4000 / 030. Its one of the last ones made and I heard they had the fixed busters but I want to make sure. Thanks 🙂 Shawn

Hello Steve, I got a mailer about all the new Virtual Reality Labs products. But in the new AmigaWorld there is an add for the new Distant Suns 5.0. I believe their phone number is there too. I know calling from the UK is a bummer but you could also…
Here here! Count me in too, working in the 13" world is different isn't it. What we need is a nice 19" monitor for around $500 🙂 At our office we have hugh 25"++ Mitubishi monitors that weigh in at over 275 pds (whew!). I don't even want to see…
I will agree to your Grapevine comment, I ordered a 3000 Service Manual from them and was always promised delivery "soon." I just canceled my order and got it from SMG. You might want to try there. Someone reading this thread should have their 800 number 🙂 Shawn Silent Paw…
I am not certain but, If I remember correctly there must be a jumper set to perform the memory test and you must comment out loading the Zeus software on boot. I just sent off my manuals to the Zeus's new owner but I am fairly certain that's how it…

CD32 Emulation on Amiga
Message #134513
Hey thanks for the post, Some of those titles I haven't tried out but just to also add there are new CD titles leeking out periodically. I am waiting for Virtual Reality Labs to put the NASA Star Guide to CD. They have said if they get enough interest they…
Well I am back from travel to add to this thread again, The CD32 IS an Amiga. At its roots it possess the fundemental heart and soul of an Amiga. My somewhat negative comments toward the CD32 are made at both a professional and user level. As a professional I…
Personally, I believe CBM has made another CDTV mistake with CD2. The CD32 has the potential to help rather than harm Amigas. As of right now (as I know) no CD32 game will run on an Amiga. My question is why?? There are many CD-ROM equipped Amiga users out there…
Just a note, Products like ASIM 2.0 and others support DCTV formats but there are incompatiablities. I have tried many and the results are about 50/50. Sometimes you could get a CDTV disk to work in a CD-ROM equipped Amiga just by copying fonts….however CD32 is a different matter :)…
Fred??? Regular SCSI devices work fine on SCSI-II controllers however I have heard of some limitations with some manufactures. Quantum and Segate seem OK, I have used them before w/o any problems. Warning, Warning GVP cards are a funny lot… I seem to remember the SERIES II card had a…
Hello Alan, If your willing to break up the set I am certain there are fishes in this forum ready to bite :> Shawn Silent Paw Productions
I will try to get in touch with CATS 🙂
Hello Steve, How does a company get to be a developer??? I heard CBM wasn't taking applications or is this a yarn? My company could do with some inside information but everytime I approach CBM they refer me to their Tech Manuals and SMG just wants your credit card number…
Hello Jonathan, How about $65.00 🙂 Let me know…. Thanks Shawn

Hello Jon, Look in the back of the last few issues of AmigaWorld. There are a few smaller vendors who would probably love your business. Shawn Silent Paw Productions
Hello Dale, I was just following the thread on CD32 and just wanted to know why do you think that CBM made the CD32 such an endangered beast? If CD32 games cannot be played on a CD-ROM equipped Amiga then I say that CBM has lost its mind. I too…
Hello Stephen, Were you interseted in the Zeus? If so let me know ASAP. I am yet again on travel from Monday evening (31 Jan) to maybe the 10th of Feb or earlier. Looks like I am going back to Germany again. Hmmm, I wonder if the Z3 is cheaper…
Hello Stephen, The BOMAC Tower provides more Bays to mount other devices such as harddrives, CD-ROMS, etc. Unfortunatly it does not provide more bus slots. It does however provide an additional power supply to take a load off the CPU's power. If you are interested in a 1200 I have…
Hello Daniel, Just cutting in on this thread. You have a power glove?? Or are you looking for one? I am getting into the Amiga VR market and am a bit interested how the glove could be put to use. Thanks 🙂 Shawn Silent Paw Productions
Update on 2000 sale : * 2000 within BOMAC TOWER (w/extra power supply) This 2000 has a possible problem with its Denise or Agnus but the Tower is fine. This system comes with all manuals, keyboard, and Mouse. BOMAC manual also included with keyboard extender – $300.00 * 2 x…
Sorry for the late reply Stephen, I just got back from a business trip to Germany. My 2000 is haveing either Denise or Agnus difficulties. I am sending off my Agnus to have DKB to have a look see maybe that will fix the problem. I have a 1 MB…
Ron, Your Super Denise is easy to install. What you're going to need is a small (non-magnetized) screwdriver and to be safe a grounding wrist strap. First remove the cover and Power Supply from your 2000. These steps are outlined in your users manual. This will expose your motherboard. The…
Hey did you guys get your upgrade already?? I didn't 🙁 Shawn
Sorry for the long delay in my reply, I just got back from a business trip. The 2000 includes the 2000 minus its cover but with two power supplies. One comes with the 2000 and another is in the tower to take a load off the systems power. The system…
