Steve, I'm using TCP/IP to connect two Amigas at work to my UNIX system. We mostly use Rlogin to connect as terminals for running Unix Programs but also use FTP for file transfers. It will be nice to be able to share files easily between the two Amigas with Envoy.…
Steve, I do know that the beta versions of AS225r2 had both client and server NFS of some sort. Hopefully it is in good enough shape to be useful and released with the rest of the package. I spent some time talking to a then-employed software engineer at C= last…
Dale, Good luck with getting AS225r2 turned loose. I had heard it was all but finished last Spring. I still will be ordering Envoy on Monday. How does it compare to Enlan-DFS in functionality? Isn't Enlan a Decnet based product? Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
Dale, I will be ordering this product. You say it will run concurrently with AS225? I have 2 Amigas on a Unix network at my business. AS225r2 would also be great. Faster FTP, NFS client/server, revved VTLogin and better docs would be a big help. You HAVE been busy. I'm…
OK, Dale, spit it out. Just what are those intangible assets that have been keeping you busier and busier. Finishing up where CBM left off with their networking products? TCP/IP or even a peer-to-peer deal ( can't think of the working name right now). I know they were well along…
I might add that even I (Unix maroon 1st class) was able to add the RLamiga termcap to a Unix system at my business and it works perfectly. As for RloginVT…. um well….I don't use it. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
I just haven't had the time to spend learning enough about Imagine to really get going but I plan to put more effort into it this winter. I assume 3.0 (AMiga) supports my FC24. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
Thanks Rick. I will look for it. I'm thinking of upgrading my old Imagine 1.0 to 3.0. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
Does that file you uploaded have a name? P^)
Dirk, Yep I've got a Framegrabber and the software. Give me your address and I'll send you a disk. Couldn't be of much use to anyone except an FG owner so I don't think PP&S would mind (wherever they are). Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling

#Amiga networks revisited
Message #116138
I'm glad you like the PicassoII card. Maybe it isn't more popular simply due to lack of promotion. A non-interlaced 800×600 mode would be great. I use a 1024×768 mode on my PC at home which works well for Autocad but Windows stuff is too small on the 14" monitor.…
Yep, I turned off mode promotion and I can see the sprites. Unfortunately Notebook flickers like a demon in interlace and my monitor goes fzzp-zuut each time I flip to a screen that outputs a different synch rate. It works but.. I don't really need the hole punches or the…
Tell 'em Leslie! With real AGA support too. I use Notebook 6 days a week and like it. I'd love it if I could see the cursor, margin, silly hole punches and have word wrap on my A4000. Kching….. $.02 Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
Thanks Bill. I'll look for those papers. I do use copier/laser paper for a lot of non-critical things and it does curl. I have some sort of Classic Laid paper that has my letterhead on it. It curls somewhat less. The paper path is convoluted in the HP4 and the…
Lu, Sorry this reply is so late. I use the Postscript driver in Pagestream to print on my HP4M. I have gotten very consistent results with the 4M and have heard only good things about its output from others. I don't think I have printed any 5meg pages of graphics…
The SCSI drivers are sold separately but come with each of their SCSI adapters. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
Trantor has a SCSI driver utility that should work with the 3070. I think it is called multiSCSI or something like that. It comes with all of their SCSI controllers including their parallel port SCSI adapters and is also sold separately. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
You will be happy with the 4M. Upgrading the non-postscript model would cost more than the difference in price. The 300dpi models are now a dime-a-dozen and simply a price war (not that a 300dpi postscript printer isn't very nice to have). you will love showing off the things you…
I use the HP4M with an A4000. It is fabulous! 600dpi makes a B I G difference. It is also fast. Not really that cheap but very capable. Works great with Pagestream and just about any other Amiga program (except ADpro, but that's another story and not HP's fault). By…
Whoa, really? I called and talked to a saleperson who just said I couldn't get it. I will call back and ask for a tech. I am used to using things that are not quite finished. Thank-you for that answer. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
I HAD heard that the new AS225 would be SANA II compatible. Meanwhile LanRover is not much good for those of us that need TCP/IP. Too bad. Thanks for the straight poop. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
Oh, so it is an old card. It sure would be nice for you if C= released v2.0 of As225, huh? I can't believe C= is still not shipping A2065 cards. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
Thanks Mike. Is the LanRover card new or old? I am not using Netware at my business so ACS would not be useful for me right now but I will keep it in mind if things change. Currently I have Amigas, PCs and terminals connected to a UNIX machine via…
What DOES LanRover work with(I am NOT making fun of it)? Does it come with any software? I had a heck of a time getting a couple of A2065 cards last Winter. I just got on the blower and bugged people at C= (yeah, Commodore) until I pushed the right…
Commodore is/was writing the new version of TCP/IP. I spoke with a software guy there a couple of months ago to get a termcap file. I think his name is John Schilling but I'm not 100% sure of the name. He said the final testing wasn't completed and that the…
Isn't Enlan/DFS available? Oops, no wait, 1200? Hmm…no slots except the PCMCIA. I don't think there is Amiga software for any of the PCMCIA ethernet cards yet. Don't hold yer breath. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
ASDG, Oh! I assumed he spoke of the commercial product. I haven't tried the PD TCP. It is a shame C= hasn't finished the new version of TCP/IP. I spoke to a software engineer there who said how great it worked, how it was SANA compatible and how NFS was…
Commodore's TCP/IP does have NFS client capability. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
Donald, I don't remember EVER seeing you on here. Welcome back. Consider using Autopilot if you plan to be on here often (and you get another Amiga). There are similar programs for PeeCees. Good luck making a good deal with Bob. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
2 Syquest44 carts, two years, much daily usage, one cart or other always in drive = zero problems. I guess each has his own story. Mine does make a strange squeak occasionally which I assume is a Syquest "feature". Seems very reliable to me. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
Hmmm… My Syquest 44mb works great with my A3000 which is an early model. I am able to format, read and write with NO problems in both Amigados and MSDos. Check for proper termination or some other setup problem. Some Syquests used to have a problem with diskchanges and needed…

He wouldn't be using DSDD disks in his HD floppy drive would he?
That large image size you used payed off. The picture looked pretty sharp on the cover. Pity you haven't seen it yet. They always screw it up by pasting an address label on it too. Are you sure those oil paintings are PD? Nyuck, nyuck. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
Erik, The AW cover looks very good! They even gave your ELFworks a nice plug. I'd still be calling them up to get the Syquest cart back. Did you send them a large format render of that image? Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
Oxxi sells Novell client software for the Amiga or you can get TCP/IP for the Amiga from Commodore and do it that way. Either way you will need the A2065 ethernet adapter card. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
Yeh, Mike I think it was the first. Just goes to show how great C='s marketing was to capitalize on that fact. Boy oh boy, I almost bought one too. I demoed one and found the performance to be slow. I think it was because I was using X on…
Welllll, they aren't cheap. Panasonic has decent one for about 1k but I don't know the model. What will you be recording to? Do you need composite, s-video, Y-C or what? Most units made for the Amiga are genlocks as well. The external Supergen should work. I assume you have…
Patrick, I have CrossDos+ and CrossPC. I easily formatted a 44mb with Dos 5.0 using the intructions for CrossPC. The volume is available for read/write by Amiga programs thanks to CrossDos. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
I don't think you would be satisfied with the output of the VIP. It is definitely not broadcast quality. There are other good encoders out there. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
Aww gee, I have one but I'm not sure I want to sell it. It truly only makes a so-so picture. Mine was personally tweaked by the designer of the FC24 and so works better than the average VIP. I also have a short cable as plugging the VIP directly…
Floppy what? Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
Set Display Aspect addresses one of the biggest problems I had in dealing with images from other platforms. Fabulous! I'm gonna use an IM 9.50 floppy to set the ratio. P^) Think of it…No more too fat or too skinny bathing suit GIF babes! The masses will be delighted. Goin'…
Yahoo! Maybe now I'll put the FC24 in the 4000. Just re-upped my auto upgrade plan yesterday. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
Maybe a transcript will show up somewhere. Too bad about the VCR. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
I'm glad to hear that it does. I even offered to send an appropriate NASA disc to Allen Purtel(he wrote CDRom-FS) so that he would have a sample disc to work with but he seemed to be in no hurry to upgrade the software. I figured he would eventually do…
I have watched a tape of the address made by a friend that was there. Sorry but I don't have a transcript. If you REALLY want it I could ask my friend to make a copy (VHS, SVHS, Hi8 or 8mm) and send it to you. Just cover the cost…
Michael, Toshiba XM-3301. Hooked to A3000. Originally used CDRom-FS driver software(initial release) but switched to Xetec software which was much more capable. I needed to use discs with 512 byte blocks (NASA CDRoms) in addition to the more common 2k byte blocks. I understand that CDRom-FS has been upgraded but…
Hooey! Obviously written by a 12 year old. It must be that time of year again. Listen to the address at the NY WOA show by Lou E. again and check the facts on devices like the 68060. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
I'm pretty sure the A570 is not SCSI. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling
I always thought the problem was with the driver from C=. I guess you know better. I no longer use the Deskjet for DTP. I got an HP LJ4M which works beautifully. The problem with offsets does not seem to appear with Postscript output. Where is your driver available? Is…
