OTFL!!!! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "MicroSoft": from Micro = small, and Soft = limp.
Gotcha… thanks for the reply! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "MicroSoft": from Micro = small, and Soft = limp.
I am interested in a PCMCIA version of Emplant. Have to "multi-function" the card for use in my "already occupied" expansion slot is a bit unacceptable. With '486 emulation, yes I would definately buy. (Mac would be a future consideration, but have little to no need for such a beast…
I think if a product is "too cool", it scares and intimidates the end-user. The world still seems to rotate around the phrase "IBM Compatible." (Although Intel is seriously making in-roads towards that with the Inside campaign.) "Windoze" sound more friendly than OS/2, which means Joe Consumer is scared. Chris…
Ya know… I find it quite amazing that the honcho's at C= would give a damn whether the Amiga line continued or not. It almost looks as tho SOMEONE in the higher ups cared a bit more than they EVER let on. Chris – Fast and Low on my '020!…
An honest question…. Does the $1600 system to which you are comparing the FULLY configured Emplant to: Have 24 bit graphics Have an '040 chip? Also consider that is the Emplant does actually run faster than the specific machine it is emulating, does the $1600 still apply since your running…
Check out this months AW, it has a CD-ROM article, and Project Gutenberg is listed as Multi-Platform. Try contacting the author… maybe she can help you with how PG made it on the list if it's not Amy compatible… or what you may (or may not) be doing wrong. Chris…
>> I did – and started laughing. Why is that? About a Ka-billion messages have gone by from Emplant users stating that what Jim claimed for the Emplant was unrealistic, until they saw it work. Why would you be laughing at that? He has a product that does what it…
>> again, beware of TS Computers I'm thinking your trying to tell us something? Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "MicroSoft": from Micro = small, and Soft = limp.
Sears also sells the movies (assuming CD-i uses MPeg, and I beleive it does.) Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "MicroSoft": from Micro = small, and Soft = limp.
I got some info on it earlier… but it was a bit cryptic (and probably LONG gone from my history file anyway.) Guess I should solicit again, eh? Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "MicroSoft": from Micro = small, and Soft = limp.
Count me in… I keep askin' but I ain't getting no answers! Of course with the current state of affairs at C=, Jim is probably rather busy these days! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "MicroSoft": from Micro = small, and Soft = limp.
>> BTW, the entire MAC emulation is only 34,000 lines of code and 165K. It's WITCHCRAFT I tell you! AH-EEEE!!!!!!! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "MicroSoft": from Micro = small, and Soft = limp.
I dual disk format with the A1000 and an external (early) model A1010 drive was quite the concert! Especially when the "BTO" stutter action got going! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "MicroSoft": from Micro = small, and Soft = limp.
I've been thinking about trying to peer-to-peer my A1000 to my A1200, but I don't quite know how to go about doing it cheaply. (Plus I would most likely need 2.0+, which I don't have yet.) Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "MicroSoft": from Micro = small, and…
No chillin out neccessary… there was no offense taken (or even noticed!) Sorry if my reply seemed so, I was just pointing out that _MY_ experience with refurbs has been good… so far! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "MicroSoft": from Micro = small, and Soft = limp.

OTFL! I hadn't quite made the Stratavarious (SP?) connection! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "Politics": from poli = many, tics = blood sucking parasites.
GO AMIGAVENDOR It's in library 9 "AuotPilot". You need AP.LHA and APDOC.LHA. Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "Politics": from poli = many, tics = blood sucking parasites.
Add the Western Digital WDAL2170 to the list. But you have to reduce the MAXTRANSFER rate. Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Is it significant that my spell-checker doesn't know "Intel"?
Brings a tear to my eye! (Not that Commodore didn't do that several times before… but this is a good tear! ) Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Is it significant that my spell-checker doesn't know "Intel"?
At least you have local dealers! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Is it significant that my spell-checker doesn't know "Intel"?
That was my wife's first comment when I got the A1200… "Is the floppy not working right?" That A1000 drive could wake up the neighbors alright… Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Is it significant that my spell-checker doesn't know "Intel"?
Define "refurbished reject". My A1000 was/is a refurb (circa mid 1986) and it still runs along fine to this day. (almost 8 years) Refurbished is not a kiss of death. Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Is it significant that my spell-checker doesn't know "Intel"?
No, no… thank YOU! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Is it significant that my spell-checker doesn't know "Intel"?
I think we need to hard-core pray that Samsung takes the Amy under it's huge financial wing. I don't think anyone else has the bucks for enough of a media push to stop the inevitable. Understanding, of course, that the only press the Amiga has seen on a global scale…

Just how much kick-back do you recieve for these efforts? In all honesty, redirecting this to sja, Autopilot has been a budget saver, especially with these 100-300 messages per session… Thanks Steve, even though I have had my AP bitches from Time-To-Time, this is a GREAT program! Chris – Fast…
In retrospect, are you sureof the one copy limitation on backups? I don't think that is the way the court ruled it… rather a "hook" that software developers try to write in to their licensing agreements. Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Is it significant that my spell-checker…
Time to slip on my orthopedic shoes… I stand corrected! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Is it significant that my spell-checker doesn't know "Intel"?
How is it not? Do you own the original program? Why are you not entitled to additional copies of that program? Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Is it significant that my spell-checker doesn't know "Intel"?
Hmmm…. I wonder. Emulating the MAC was easy (in a relative sense) as it uses the same 680×0 microprocessor… hence you needed only the ROMS. Is there any word on how the 486 Emplant works? Would it not require a 486 chip of some type? Otherwise we're looking at PC-Task,…
Backups, according to the U.S. Supreme Court, are legal. you can have as many as you want, aslong as only YOU have them. Therefore, IMHO, your "cracked copy" would be quite legal, if you have ownership proof of the original. Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Is it…
I wrote an AREXX script that will put a random tagline in a forum signature, however, since you can't run AREXX from the message editor, it can't create a tagline for each new message… just each session. I don't useit however, because TAGPASTE (the program I am using) insists on…

I'm using an AT&T DataPort 14.4. And have had no problems with the modem or fax side. Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Is it significant that my spell-checker doesn't know "Intel"?
You have a notebook Amiga? Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Is it significant that my spell-checker doesn't know "Intel"?
But in the legal jumble of it all… you didn't change it! (Unless it was a patch program.) Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Is it significant that my spell-checker doesn't know "Intel"?
I had a friend test drive one… he said they are really nice. But any emergency vehicles behind you are SOL… as the cabin is so quiet. My wifes '94 has been in the shop 6 times. The second time was on a trip to her parents in Knoxville. It…
Contrary to what the press would have you beleive, both spellings are correct. POTATO, is the more acceptable of the two. Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "If you don't straighten up young man, you'll grow up to be President!"
I understand… thanks anyway tho. I'll be keeping an eye out. Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "If you don't straighten up young man, you'll grow up to be President!"
WOO HOO-HOO-HOO- HOO!!!!!! Can't wait! I don't have to run that through the wife! Before she knows what hit the credit card… WHAM! I have a registered program! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "If you don't straighten up young man, you'll grow up to be President!"
>> the Shadow/Sundance… ACK! My wife has a '94 Shadow and it has been nothing but JUNK! I do like the looks of the Neon, however! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "If you don't straighten up young man, you'll grow up to be President!"
Which brings up another software package for my 64 trading list! Saucer Attack! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "If you don't straighten up young man, you'll grow up to be President!"
Unless you get a pirated compy of Brilliance. That wouldn't be illegal would it, especially since you are a registered user. I have patched versions of F/A-18 and DigiPaint, both of which I own legally… but the patches take out the need for a manual to load the programs. (Manuals…
That answers the qustion… thanks! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "If you don't straighten up young man, you'll grow up to be President!"
Thanks… I should be able to track from that! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "If you don't straighten up young man, you'll grow up to be President!"
Looks like I need to snatch up an A3000 MB doesn't it? Any projected price yet? Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "If you don't straighten up young man, you'll grow up to be President!"
And what exactly is the word for "girl friend" in Korean? More importantly, will my keyboard support spelling it? Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "If you don't straighten up young man, you'll grow up to be President!"
Maybe you can answer the question about license keys? Why doesn't SCALA use that rather than dongles? Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "If you don't straighten up young man, you'll grow up to be President!"
Cool… I see a potential new market for the Amiga, assuming someone buys it and continues to produce product! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "If you don't straighten up young man, you'll grow up to be President!"
Question…. Can the AD516 do crossfades between two different audio files? (IE: could it do a "radio station" seque… as one fades in, the other fades out?) Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "If you don't straighten up young man, you'll grow up to be President!"
