Or you can buy HyperMedia's Fish on Disk collection (current version is 1.2 and covers disks 1-480, while Xetec's is split over TWO disks purchased separatly) for $69 from Hypermedia, $109 from Hypermedia for a 3 disk (1 year) subscription, or $50 for the current disk from my store. You…

I don't know of any PC program that will read Amiga disks, but CrossDOS works great reading PC 720K disks on the Amiga. For awhile I was downloading Amiga files from Compuserve on my Mac Plus, copying them to my '386 PC using the Copy II Option Board (reads Mac…

Congrats! I bought the same package from the same people. (Hypermedia did not write the CDROM-FS and cannot offer much tech support on it BTW, but they will give you the phone number of the programmer in Canada who is very helpful). Unfortunately, the way I found out about CDROM-FS…
#13140 upgrade for A1000 Message #13191

I haven't had any experience with the Insider II board, but I installed the Insider (original model) in the A1000 about four years ago. Worked like a charm and the extra Meg was wonderful (I think the II version holds 1.5 or 2 meg). The only problem I had was…

Sounds like either the Rejuvinator daughter board or one of the chips, or a combination is creeping out of the sockets. If you have any reasonble tech skills, ground yourself with a static strap (better safe than sorry) and gently reseat all the connectors and chips by applying gentle but…

You're right… for still images, a good quality VGA looks better (especially for plain text!). But I haven't seen any animation on my PCs better than the Amiga either. FWIW, I have a very nice SVGA card (512K) which switches from analog RGB output to NTSC from the commandline. Works…
#12882 ADOS 2.0 and A1000? Message #13188
From: Rick Cross Amiga Tech Forum · Forum Business/Help August 11, 1991 5:33 PM
>>The addition of the 1 Meg CHIP ram (provided by the Rejuvinator) is well >>worth the effort all by itself. I agree! I'll end up stuffing one into my original A1000 (which at the moment languishes in my bedroom, replaced by a souped up A500). When I moved to the…
#12888 #help-QB on Access! Message #13187
From: Rick Cross Amiga Tech Forum · Forum Business/Help August 11, 1991 5:33 PM
Hi Keith, What's the status on a Access! anyway? Last time I looked at it, it was up to 1.42. I always like it as it was one of the more colorful Amiga term programs, and the half screen mode was nice. But I registered Jrcomm (I liked the Zmodem…
#10922 GIF viewing problems Message #11098
From: Rick Cross Amiga Arts Forum · Audiophile August 11, 1991 5:33 PM
$200? Around here it's only $149. But I know what you mean. However, to me it was worth it. The GIF/PCX etc conversions are great, and it lets me view 24 bit images in HAM mode. Saved me having to buy a $500-$600 24 bit adaptor just to view the…

ahh… there is an option if GIFLite that the sysop (or compressor) should know about… some GIF viewers can't handle GIFS with the GIFLite header… so there's an option to not put that in, so instead it says GIF89a or whatever only. That's the option (-r if memory doesn't fail…

If he compressed the GIFs with GIFLite by Winfred Hu, they should be be viewable. However, even GIFLite will occassionally screw things up. When I compress my GIFs with it, I immediately view them with VPic (this is all on the PC) and for every 40 or 50 I do,…
