Graphics Failure

Thanks for your reply, I will check into the situation but its always hard to find without a little cash out lay. I wish there were a diagnostic tool that could test the chips on your board and tell you through software whats wrong 🙂 Thanks, Shawn
Dave I saw your question so I thought I would post some info : A Steadicam JR can only handle up to 3 to 4 pds. It is really made for the comsumer VideoCams. If you are interested in a proline steadicam I believe there is a nice mide range…
Hey Don, I had a thought that is some what related to this thread…. Have you ever heard of anyone useing a A600 keyboard with a 2000 or others?? I know the keymaps are different but is there a simple solution to this? The answer to the question "Why" is…
I have a Toshiba 3401B and have run one or two CDTV titles but it is always touchy. SOmetimes it is as simple as copying some fonts front the CD to your fonts directory on your Harddrive. Other times they are complete no gos. Really to bad……. I hope that…
What you might want to look into is getting a new SCSI cable with a couple of connectors on it. I have used a place called REDMOND CABLE in the past and they have always done a good job for me. They used to advertise in Amiga World but I…

Thanks all for the speedy replies, Eh gads, Imagine has become another part of my body and it seems effortless to make what I "Imagine" . However there were still some things that I wanted so I bought a T 2.0 for my small business. I recently had been adjusting…
#Stars in LW
Message #66886
I am a recent convert from Impulse's Imagine to LightWave and I have been having a difficulty or two with my T4000. When you want to render with stars is there an option similar to Imagines set Star Field Density or any Star tool? When recording is there any way…
No offense but, AmigaWorld is reguarded as THE Amiga magazine. I agree with you that there are a few others and I hope they are making a profit so they can give us another perspective on our favorite computer. However, if you walk into most computer stores, and if they…
Ekkkkkkk! Progressive is gone???? I have a Zeus and it is the best accelerator for the Amiga. I hope they are not gone. However, if you need something fixed call around to some of the repair shops noted in the back of AmigaWorld. Tell me if you find one, er…
Hello there, Just thought I would add something on CD-ROMs. I just purchased a Toshiba 3401B and its FAST. Supports both CDTV and Kodak discs. The driver I use is AsimCDFS. The great thing about this is that ASIMware is going to support direct CD sampling. I have this info…
Sorry I would like to sell as a package. I do have an area shop over here that runs the National Amiga Exchange. I am thinking of putting my system on consignment. The biggest problem there is that they break up the system into parts stating that you can always…
Oooops… Thanks Steve, My AutoPilot must have been on snooze…or was that me? Shall I repost? I appreciate you fowarding the notice of sale and just in case I shall send the message again.

HP 500C Problem
Message #118031
Hello all, I am having a problem with my HP DeskJet 500C wanting to print. Everytime I try to use Prowrite the DeskJet wants to use a color cartridge. No matter how many times I try to feed it the black ink it won't take it. Also when useing the…
Naaa, Being a Toaster user myself I would have to say that VT User isn't a major General Amiga Pub but a speciality pub due to the slant on its readers. If I had a OpalVision board or a IV24 I might not be willing to read VT User. However,…
Thanks for your input, But the whole idea is to see if someone would like to sell a used 3000. Most of the people here in this forum read AmigaWorld (Unfortunatly it is THE only major General Publication for Amigians). The problem there is that most of the vendors in…

I agree with Dom, I have had a good deal of luck buying and selling in this forum but I am always leary about what I am buying. Respect is a hard earned commodity, I hope that you don't think that the lot of us are deadbeats. The sad truth…

Erik, That product is new, new, new your best bet is with the mail order houses who advertise in AmigaWorld. They order in such quanity that they usually (but not always) get them first. However, this forum as well as forums within AmigaArts is a good place to start. Good…
No Problem Jay, The number and name of the dealer are listed below : Buried Treasure (301) 770-6778 They are nice people, maybe they could mail order for you but I am not certain. I think they are open from 10 to 8pm EST. Give them a ring. Ciao, Shawn
Hello Jay, Where are you located? I know a dealer in the Metro Wash DC area who might have one. But it is probably new so you might have to shell out a little bit more (but then its new 🙂 ). Shawn
Hello Luke, Probably a silly answer but have you looked into Memory World or Grapevine? Sometimes I find a few hard to get items through these outlets 🙂
Hello Jer, I am interested in your 1084S …How about $75 and I will pay for S/H? Drop me a line 🙂 Thanks Shawn
Hello Dan, By "open it up" I assume you mean taken it apart…..No. I do know a bit about Amigas but little about monitors that I would dare opening one to the light of day. The monitor is is pretty nice shape (No scratches, mars, or cracks). If the deal…
Sorry Rich, The Monitor and 2320 + DCTV went pronto. I still have the GENLOCK and Harddrives left though. If the deal falls through with the monitor I will repost the MultiSync. Thanks Shawn
Sorry Dan, The MultiSync and 2320 were quick kills. I still do have the harddrives and the Genlock left though. However if the deal falls through I will repost and you can have another stab at. Drop me a line if you are interested. Thanks Shawn

Hello all, I am looking for a stock 2000. Must be at least rev 6 motherboard and 2.0 ROM. Please state age, any repairs or mods, use, and price. I am also interested in a simple 2091 HD controller w/wo RAM or any accelerator for the 2000. Can be included…
Hmmm, I will try and call them and ask about the upgrade. What the heck they may say yes. Thanks for the info. Ciao Shawn Silent Paw Productions
Hello, I had a quick question. I have a MegaChip that has worked fine for some time and I am thinking of adding Flicker Free Video II to my 2000. I have heard a rumor that the MegaChip and the FFVII will not fit in together due to the proximaty…
Amiga run from it??? Why yes, its just an Amiga 6000 with a SCREAMER sticker on it. And Oooooo wait until you see the new Kinki, oops I mean Kiki effects (do yah think she has a double stand in for those ). Shawn Randolph The Paw in Silent Paw…
Thanks Don, Here, Here! When I bought mine I was told by Newtek, "Aw too bad, did not get one with a Free Upgrade Certifiacte." How infuriating! My company shelled out nearly $2000 for this card and they had the gall to say "If only you had waited." NewTek has…
Thanks for the info, I was looking for any places that someone might have dealt with in the past and would deam reputable and has a decent selection. Any ideas? Shawn
Thanks for the reply Dale, The Tower has a convient vent at the bottom that would serve as a great mount point. The case, I guess is well ventelated but there is nothing drawing the dead air through the case. As for environment, I cannot leave the air conditioning on…

#Cooling 2000 Tower
Message #108729
Hello all, I was thinking of putting a fan into my tower unit to cool it down a bit. They are readily available at Radio Shack but I don't know which voltage would be appropriate or where the best place to hook one into for power would be. Any ideas?…
Yes alas, Tis sad, very sad. I am afraid that Newtek, while dabbling in MAC land, was infected by the hideous "lets overprice" beast. If you look at the quality software that comes out for the MAC and then compare it to the prices on other platforms like the Amiga…
WAVEFORM/TBC Wanted
Message #108306
Sorry all, I asked to see if there was anyone out there who was willing to sell their TBC and/or waveform monitor. I got several replies but as thing were I missed a few went I was sent on travel. If anyone is still considering selling their TBC or Waveform…
Indeed Tom, I do not know a more dedicated lot that Amigians (or at least outside of relgion ). I do not understand why C= makes some of the poor judgement calls that they do. Especially firing whole development teams, that won't get you loyalty or continuity. The 4000 is…
