A2630 Lockout
Message #146139
Tom. If your 2620 is the same as my 2630 then you have some choices. If you use Workbench 1.3 hold down both mouse buttons while booting the machine. A menu should appear. If you are use Workbench 2.04+ hold down the right mouse button while booting and select the…

Message #145253
Does anybody know where to get info about programming the Bridgeboard? I have a CDRom attached to my SCSI board and would like to access it from the BB. I obviously would need the MSDOS CD drivers as well? Or does anyone know how to do it? (using janus?) I…

#Commodore Liquidation
Message #142015
I too will stay loyal to my A2000. Why should I change, when it does everything I need (and more I'm sure). Maybe a boost in speed from 25 to 50Mhz. A peecee. No thanks. I have a 386 Bridgeboard and am still looking for a REAL use for it.…

#CPU
Message #135757
I don't mind uploading what I have for folks to play with. The PD house included a disclaimer which I would do as well. If I want to boot in Kickstart 3 I use SetCPU to reboot and then in the startup-sequence use "SetCPU FastRom" to move the image from…

#Piccolo

Sorry: yes I did mean dragable screens. Too bad Piccolo doesn't have this most valuable feature. Guess I'll have to go with Picasso. Dave Kay Flying in from Montreal.

#High Density Drives
Message #131238
I don't want to burst your bubble, but I tried one of those. I got it direct from Power Computing in the UK and had to return it. The PC board on the back of the drive fouls with the card in my video slot if I put it in…

#386BB Software
Message #126275
Dosshell looks half-size. Amiga-F fixes the problem….every time. Thanks for the help Dave Kay Flying in from Montreal.
386BB Software
Message #126194
I'm using the mouse driver from Janus2.1 which does seem to have some DOSSHELL problems. After playing around it seems OK. My only comment is that it forces DOSSHELL to open in a small window, even if I save the window prefs. But that's a minor annoyance. Thanks again for…
386BB Software
Message #126193
Daniel: Sorry if I gave the wrong impression to anyone. My motherboard connectors are in the correct place, just not seated properly. (bent over). I eventually used a magnifying glass to look for dry joints, and that's when I found the two pins on the back of the board that…
386BB Software
Message #126192
Daniel: I'm OK now, I found some damaged pins on the back of the board. My only frustration is, after I run ATIME and AMOUSE the DOSSHELL window is half-size. I have to make it full size everytime, even if I save prefs. Any ideas? Dave Kay Flying in from…
#386BB Software
Message #125798
Steven; Problem solved. With having missaligned slots (on both BB slots) I had to do a bit of hard pushing. Two of the pins prodruding on the back of the BB were very close or touching; surprising it didn't blow. Anyway I staightened all the pins and re-installed in a…
#386BB Software
Message #125717
Steven: After my last message I was very brave. I removed the Bridgeboard from the right hand BB slot and moved it over one slot to the right. Yep, I know there are no AT us slots there. But guess what! Everything works (So long as I don't want to…
#386BB Software
Message #125684
Steven: I have RUN >NIL: Enforcer QUIET and then Binddrivers on the next line. If I comment out Binddrivers and run it later from the shell, the BB speaker chirps and everything locks up! I've tried everything Ican think of. Thanks for your suggestion. Dave Kay Flying in from Montreal.
#A386BB Software
Message #125549
I have just purchased a used 2386BB. I have an A2000HD with an A2630 board and one standard floppy drive. Installing the card went OK, but the AmigaJanus software is giving me a problem. Using the supplied install I get all the way to the end, then the machine locks…
High Density Drive
Message #123221
After receiving a Power High Density Internal Disk drive, and finding that they forgot to label which way around the ribbon cable goes, and that it is about 1/8" narower than a standard A2000 drive, I am returning it. On the good side it looks well made. Perhaps someone out…
2.1 Upgrade problems
Message #37911
Alan, You have to insert the new chip before you can read the 2.1 disks. I just checked by booting in 1.3 and I cannot read the 2.1 disks. I believe the 2.1 disks are formatted using the newer Fast File System which gives 879K of useable space on a…
A2300 HELP ME !
Message #123059
Paul, I also bought an A2300 from Grapevine. I have an A2000 (latest rev Motherboard) with A2630 and A2091 (OK so I like Commodore stuff), and have had no problems at all. It doesn't matter whether the video source is connected when I boot or not. Plugging in or out,…

John: Thanks very much for the helpful info on the Golden Gate. Looks like it's a better proposition than the C= A2386. Dave Kay Flying in from Montreal.
Golden Gate 386
Message #120723
After getting totally fed up trying to find a C= A2386 Bridge Board, I am thinking about paying the extra for a Golden Gate 386. I would like to hear from anyone who uses a Golden Gate 386 emulator. Is it easy to install? (software) Can I use the Amiga…
Your lucky that you received anything from them. I've been waiting for over a month for a few odds & ends. Everytime I call I'm told "Your order will be shipped in a couple of days" I won't fall for their bargains again
#486 BB
Message #119236
I've noticed in some of the British mags (Amiga Shopper etc.) that a Commodore 486sx Bridgeboard is now on sale and labeled as 'NEW'. Does anyone know what this is? Dave Kay
#MagicWB palette
Message #119235
If I use a 16 colour WB the icons look awful, but there OK on 8 colour. Have you tried loading the 'Marble_CLASSIC' backdrop using WBPicture from NickPrefs, and clicking on the 'Load Palette' button, then 'Save'. That should save the correct palette for you. Dave Kay Flying in from…

AGA for A2000 and A3000?
Message #107644
This is the last message I saw from GVP
#Inside A570
Message #107468
At the price of an A570 today, is there anything to lose. Surely th A500 expansion slot and the ZorroII are reasonably compatible. We can buy expanders to make ZorroII cards work on an A500, and in Europe there are memory cards for the A500 that "can be moved to…
Inside A570
Message #107425
I'm interested to find out what's inside the C= A570 CD-ROM drive. Is it a standard SCSI CD unit? Is there anything else special in there. I have the chance to buy a used one and am wondering if i could be caniballized for parts to work in another Amiga.…
