If your using C= 2091 controller on a 4000 the tape drive is driven by the "2nd.scsi.device" rather than "scsi.device". Try alittle less ambitious over scan like 736×480 and make sure mode promotion is off. Ben, Leigh's Computers

What version of the software are you using? High density support is three weeks old and I've set up Emplants on other machines too as early as 4 revisions ago of the software (A2000's with GVP's old 28MHZ accelerator),and it actually did multitask well. They've had serial support for the…

Emplant does allow thier ports to be used under Amigados, the last two things it needs for totality are sound, and Mac Disk support (almost finished). Ben Leigh's Computers
From: Ben A Lott Amiga Tech Forum · Hot News and Rumors March 10, 1993 8:50 PM
Believe it or not that is not a "scam" a lot of retalors do it and are even encouraged by some manufacturers! Commodore has a Coop ad program where they "pay" dealers for advertizements, almost all of Leigh's Midi music adds are paid for by a lot of the music…

From: Ben A Lott Amiga User Forum · Hot News and Rumors November 20, 1992 10:02 PM
