Beta Testers Wanted
Message #67722
Mike: We are just about ready to announce a gizmo for the 500 and 1000 that allow the use of that old CBM 1701/2 monitor that was laying around in the closet. Overall picture quality is very close to that of the Amiga monitor and guess what no warpage at…

Both TS and you know what were sent today, you should be online ™ tomorrow. I hope you think TS is as neat as we do. I'll be waiting for your evaluation. We will be sending Larry Phillips unit out Friday, so you guys can compare notes.

Ralph: Thanks for the idea, I'll have our guys look into it. By the way, are you interested in persuing a scheme to auto-boot a Hard Disk from KS in ROM. If so, give me a call. E.J. Lippert II C Ltd. – (316) 267-6322

Perry: Thanks for the offer! If you are serious, that is. If you are, could you work in an environment that required pass-thru (to which we are 100% committed) designs for the 1000 and 500? E.J. Lippert II C Ltd. – (316) 267-6322

Joergen: They ARE supposed to be different. AmigaDOS does some strange, as yet not understood by us, things when you specify an interleave other than Zero in the MountList. SCSIformat = Interleave 3 MountList – Interleave 0 Another `GOOD OLD AMIGADOS' `what did they do now' situation! E.J. Lippert II…

HELP !!
Message #64062
Hi Everyone: We need and will pay for or trade for mdse. a cross-assembler for intel 8048/8035 assembly that runs on the Amiga. Does one exist? Anybody want to write one? Anyone have portable code (C, Pascal, Forth, Modula-2, Basic, etc.) that can be ported? We really would like some-…

Chris: PostScript is in and of itself -VERY- slow, ask anybody who has waited over an houh to get a heavily graphics orientated page out of their Apple LaserWriter! PastScript will only assist (non-PDL) laser printers that have enough memory (1.2 MEGS) to store the entire page bit map in…

Coproc slot
Message #62927
Larry: One line is different, it is a second interrupt. Handy, but by no means necessary! Other that that one line, the A-2000 86 pin slot is identical to the 86 pin bus on the A-1000… So much so that we `kludged' one of our SCSI cards in to the…

#passthru load RAM
Message #62923
James: Being fairly well versed in the subject, I can give you a realistic answer only if I know what you are using as your external drive system. In most cases the external floppies will not affect bus loading. Power supply may be a problem, but if you are not…

Ben: PCLO is the best for CB layout, owing them all, trying them all, has not altered that opinion one iota. And I will argue that point with any one any time, and I don't sell your product and have nothing to gain by my position in support of it.…
Bill: I assume then you have enjoyed reading Perry (ASDG) K's comments of late! (ie: MSG 59864) E.J. Lippert II C Ltd. – (316) 267-6322
Perry: Nice to hear from you too! How's Business? E.J. Lippert II C Ltd. – (316) 267-6322
Don: I'll have to compile it first, but O.K. E.J. Lippert II C Ltd. – (316) 267-6322
Larry: The overall speed up would be generally less that moving our current controller up to a DMA type. The cost would be about the same. Cost about $100.00 at retail, Speedup in DBMS applications 5x, normal file handling 30-50%, file loading 0, file saving 0. The above speedup figures…

#SCSI, What is it?
Message #59688
To Everyone: There has been a lot of questions and interest about SCSI. There are substantial benefits of SCSI over other systems, as well as many specialized aplications. Most users don't understand what SCSI is, or what benefits they derive from using SCSI as opposed to a different system. (Kind…
Larry: Good description of a WORM. The one we are offering now is an 800 Megabyte unit that uses removeable optical disks for storage. It looks like a fat Sony CD Player and stores 800Meg on a cartridge. How else would you back-up our 760 MEG Hard Drive. By the…
Bryan: All Back Ordered drives larger than 20 MEG (includes yours I would assume) will be shipped by Monday. Not exactly sure what you mean by `File Fragmentation' ? Individual file handling is normally an AmigaDOS function. AmigaDOS automatically fragments files, we have no way to make it, or stop…
Davey: I don't think all will become computer freaks. Some will, but many will buy the machine to do a specific task and leave it at that. Some people are born tinkerers, others, sadly, have no curiosity or desire to learn. They will never know what they're missing, not only…
Ron: It is up to your dealer to sell you options like the DB-25. If you want the connector, leave me your address in EMAIL and I'll send you one. We normally charge $20.00 for the DB-25, installed with the matching MacIntosh cable. If you want the Cable, I'll sell…
Larry: Possibly, but that would require RAM on our board, raising the cost. We could, and do to some extent (we build a 5K RAM CACHE buffer), do that now in normal Amiga RAM. Do you think it would justify the extra expense? E.J. Lippert II C Ltd. – (316)…
Ariel: Generally, when a CPU is first introduced it is `state of the art' and attracts techies, when it becomes a proven machine, that's what happens. It' not a trend, it is history repeating itself. E.J. Lippert II C Ltd. – (316) 267-6322
Jez: That's not been a major problem so far, being as AmigaDOS never sends chunks that big, but we fixed it this week and will get you an updated version as soon as we are sure everything still works. E.J. Lippert II C Ltd. – (316) 267-6322
Larry: Thanks, Now let's explore some ways to make use of that wasted 64K. We actually only use 32 Bytes of address space at our assigned start address. There's got to be some good use for the other 65,502 bytes of fully available mapped-in addresses. Got any good ideas? E.J.…

#Xebec drives
Message #59548
Mr. Daugherty: I read the thread before this response and it looks like you got some of your questions answered. But, as general information, our Drives are rated to be fully operational at room temperature and the manufacturer, OkiData, does not list any requirements for warm-up prior to low-level formatting.…
Bill: Thanks, we're going to look at it. And I think now is the time to start setting standards, if we aren't to late already! E.J. Lippert II C Ltd. – (316) 267-6322
