I think there is a 3rd step. The A1000 only allocated 256k for kickstart, while 2.0 and higher requires 512k (I believe). There is a program out, which supposedly allocated 512k of RAM (from your fast reserves though) and loads KS2.0 there. I can't recall the name off hand tho.…
PMFJI… CheckFree is basically an "on-line" checkwriter. Your computer calls up, dumps your check information, and CF cuts the checks and mails them out… for a really reasonable fee if I recall correctly. So you use Quicken, have it generate your bill payments, then it calls CF, and CF mails…
Wow… that explains why LR at the local CommCollege doesn't work! The instructor was also complaining about how bad the user manual sucked. It was only 8 pages, and assumed you would have *NO* problems with installation. Kind of like the GPFax book! Great little manual, but if you have…
Well, we're glad you at least let us know that YOUR not in CyberSpace… What's the new addREss for reGistration? Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Clap On! Clap Off!
I was wrong… I re-DL'd TerminuS today, Wiped it out completely fRom my hard drive, and whEn it re-installed it STILL Gave me that ridiculouS windoW. All the betteR tho… whEn I had Terminus on a floppy I deleted a LOT of stuff that I should have kept… so at…
I know that LightRave requires LW… but that is a fairly recent product. Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Clap On! Clap Off!
Paul, I would think force-feeding a dongle to your child constitutes child abuse… as does starving him or her until they eat it on their own! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Clap On! Clap Off!
Go in to the "PARTITION DRIVE", hit the "ADVANCED OPTIONS" box. A whole new set of thingamabobs will pop up. Hit the change button, and it will take you to a screen with the MAXTRANSFER setting. Mine is 0x1fe00, but I had to slow it down a bit for the…
Being a non-video type… I am lost on this thread. Doesn't Lightwave need a toaster card to operate? Therefore, why a dongle? (Insert explaination here… because there is obviously more here than it seems! ) Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Clap On! Clap Off!
OTFL! Makes one wonder about the actual "power" Bill Gates actually has, eh? Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Clap On! Clap Off!
I've lost so many things in my life, I can imagine that a dongle would last about two weeks before it got buried on my desk, or swallowed by my child! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Clap On! Clap Off!
The PeeCee world also have a company which markets a product called "C-Net"… although I've heard of no legal battles there. Gee… I guess I can start my own "MicroSoft"! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Clap On! Clap Off!
Is there anything within PC that might have affected your MAXTRANSFER settings? Although unlikely, it may be the culprit. Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Clap On! Clap Off!
Sound kind of low to me…. I was getting (according to the new SysInfo) about 485kps before I installed my fast RAM. Now I'm getting 1.1mps. Which sounds a wee bit fishy to me… especially since I don't really see THAT much of a transfer rate difference! (This is on…
Good points… great post. BTW, just where did you see that article about the Amiga? I'd like to see it! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Clap On! Clap Off!
ARGH! Where we you two weeks ago!!!!! I just plunked down 159 bucks for one! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Clap On! Clap Off!
Mine still sits in front of me now. The 1084 I use with my 1200 sits on top of it, and it's little keyboard is tucked neatly in the "garage". I feel the urge to play ArcticFox coming on… so I keep it around until I snap! Chris – Fast…
It will if you wipe out the old copy first… but then you have to reenter all your phonebooks, definitions and scripts. It really bites! Gee… it seems like sending him $40 bucks to register wouldn't be so difficult after all! Now, where to send it too? Chris – Fast…
>> However, I am not going to believe in, and pin my hopes on every rumor >> that floats by. Yea, I do agree that this rollercoaster ride of rumor we've been on for the last two weeks is getting a bit weary. And I like rollercoasters! Chris – Fast…
Yea, more RAM would be nice… but until we start charitable contributions to the "Save Chris' Wallet" foundation, we won't be seeing printer RAM anytime soon! I don't do enough with FCII to ever really need extra RAM, except for rare occassions… (this being one of them :^) The CMD…
Oh, get him started on THAT! As soon as he figures out there is a 40 and 44 pin IDE cable, he'll REALLY go off! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Clap On! Clap Off!
Thank you very much! I'm going to try it today! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Clap On! Clap Off!
Just set your clock back, play with terminus, and set it back to the right day before you shut down. Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Clap On! Clap Off!
Commodore has been pretty well known for _NOT_ making a go of it… plus the Amiga has been quite successful in it's niche areas. Niche area's that were created no thanks to Commodore. The Amiga, in no way shape or form, is a bad deal. Nor would I even consider…
The only VT I've seen for the PC and MAC is an A2000 with no keyboard, and a VT card, being tasked by a PC or MAC "host"… if that is an applicable term. Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Clap On! Clap Off!

I've got a couple of questions here. I'm designing a resume for a friend at work using FinalCopy II. (No bucks for Pagestream just yet.) Since my printer (HPLJ II) only has 512k I have to print in two passes. (Pass one does the lines and header, pass two does…
>> I'll look for it in the PX tomorrow You mean to tell me that AAFES actually allowed something with the Commodore name in to the stores? That shocks me! I think I still have the copy of AmigaWorld where C='s military liason was saying that the BX/PX dropping the…
Nobody had heard of the package. Once again, mix C= and advertising/marketing and what do you have? A Bloody footprint. Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "Are we having fun yet?!?" -Anonymous A1200 User
I would think those would be a "worse" case power consumption. You could get an IDE HD in there and still not max out the supply, however. So, does anyone still carry the A600? Or have they all sold out. (Doesn't seem likely, but I haven't seen any ads any…
Don't look at me! I've put together a few electronic projects in my day… but never created one from the "ground" up! Well at least we have a partial answer "why"! Thanks! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "Are we having fun yet?!?" -Anonymous A1200 User
#Portable Amiga
Message #145234
I guess that falls under the SX-64 category! At least I could take it to work with me… Airline usage would be out of the question tho! Is the A600 power consumption really THAT bad? how long could a typical LT battery drive the A600 circutry? Are there steps that…
After all these years of _NOT_ having the "in" computer, i think i could bring myself to adapt quite easily! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "Are we having fun yet?!?" -Anonymous A1200 User
As I understand it, there was an attempt to move the LW render engine to Windoze NT, but that was dropped. Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "Are we having fun yet?!?" -Anonymous A1200 User

>> We should have had a portable LONG ago. Just how big is the "magic" within an A600 case? With a PCMCIA, and an IDE controller built in… shouldn't take too much. However, with most laptops being quite proprietary in design, finding just the "right" case would be a bear!…

Geez, why doesn't someone port Quicken, change the name to "Thicken" or something like that, and release it P.D. under an alias? Like Intuit would care… if they don't care now, why would they then? (Please understand, I am kidding… but it would be a nice kick in the teeth…
>> and haven't made a pirate copy for about 4 years or so… Yea, I too used to pirate a bit… and for some reason I just stopped one day, (about 5 years ago) and haven't been able to bring myself to do it again. I'm growing older but not…
There is program called "Trap Door" which runs as a phone answering machine… so to speak. If it detects a FAX connect, it runs your fax software, if it detects DATA, it runs the BBS. I don't know where you would get it from tho… Chris – Fast and Low…
>>I've heard that the jumper can be used to REDUCE the amount of CHIP RAM to only 1-meg. Ooh… now THERE'S a highly needed feature! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "Are we having fun yet?!?" -Anonymous A1200 User
>>Gee…. You think maybe if we'd actually _bought_ AGA computers while Commodore was _making_ them, that maybe they wouldn't have gone bust?… Now why would we want to do that? Prolong Irv and Med's control over the system. No amount of sales would have stopped them from going bust… it…

It's all in how you look at it. If you buy a lottery ticket, and win… it's a dream come true If you lose, at least you helped to make someones dream come true. Later Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! "Are we having fun yet?!?" -Anonymous A1200…
I see a new tagline forming… >>"The Amiga is important. Commodore is irrelevant." BTW, Great news! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Without the Amiga… the toaster is just another card.

Not to flame, but…. >>Much though I wish it were otherwise, I'm afraid you will have no luck convincing them. What is the purpose of this? If Jim is on the phone to these people, he knows the answer already, whether it be good or bad. He is also the…
I just want Quicken… and X-Wing! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Without the Amiga… the toaster is just another card.
I am all for it, and I'll do what I can. (I can assure you that it isn't much tho!) Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Without the Amiga… the toaster is just another card.
Oh boy… did I EVER miss the point. ('cept the one on my head ) Thanks for setting me straight! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Without the Amiga… the toaster is just another card.
"Do you mean AmigaMan as in Amiga Warehouse?" Home of the Toaster WorkShop? (Can you tell I've spent just a little too much time on "phone rot"?) Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Is it significant that my spell checker doesn't know "Quit"?
