The TI PS-17 (Postscript with 17 fonts) and PS-35 are very good and quite inexpensive.. The PS-17 has been seen for around $1600! Since a LJII is no longer available the TI with its postscript seems to be a real good deal for Amigas (and Macer's too!) –Alan

Message #9281
I think you are incorrect.. If I boot from my wb 1.3.2 disk the alias command works but if I boot from my boot floppie Alias no workie!!!! Ill check the L thing… —Alan
I am going to PAY THEM to fix my bridge board, I am a customer, and I have purchased things from them (but I bought my Amiga 2000 used..) in the past. I could understand being last on the list if I was trying to get warranty work done, but…
They have had a two week backlog for several months apparently.. Their backlog is their problem, I am not going to give MY amiga to them, and then wait two weeks before they can even begin to look at it! And on top of this they have no CLUE as…
I GOOD dealer should FIGHT for your sales, and not expect people to buy from them on location alone.. When I buy a car I don't buy from the dealer who says they have the best service department, I buy from the dealer with the lowest price.. Why?? Because service…
It shows I have an opinion that is diffrent than yours, ignorance (that was your word, right pal?) is when you have to result to personal attacks instead of using facts! Anyway, I have owned several small computer stores, I have had to fight to keep my customers from going…
JR COMM 1.1??
Message #6782
I have read about a JR COMM 1.1 or something, is their a new version of JR Comm, or is it only for registered users?? –Alan
The message I replied to said something to the order of: "discounters, & Mass merchendisers will ruin the Amiga market" That may not be verbatium but I think its pretty close.. I don't think mail order hurt's the amiga or any other computer, the retail channel is in dismay in…
My 2088BB still doesnt work also, but I got over the problem I think you are having.. First makesure your address is the default (D0000) in your PC PREFS (if you changed it reboot the amiga.!) Load your Color PC window, then drag it out of the way and click…
In the begining of TRS-80 sales, their were lots of people selling radio shack computers mail order at a discount.. Their were many (and their still are a few) affiliated stores, stores which were owned independantly!! But they did not go out of business. And radio shack didnt take them…
Bull stuff.. Radio Shacks TRS-80 series of computers, some of the first non-technical (you did not have to build it yourself) had a LARGE mail order business even in the begining of the 80's (1981).. They even had companys making TRS-80 (model 1) clones and every type of expansion option..…

Gosh Darn Compuserve "Inforamation Manager" is an Information Mangler! Anyway the message I left that CSERVE so rudly un entered was in regards to my Amiga 2000 with IVS Trump Card & ST-296N (seagate) drive. The Amiga tries to mount the drive before the hard drive is finished with its…

Message #6264
The above board AT will also work in XT's. It can run in a 8 or 16 bit slot. Even accelerated you will not be able to use the 16 bit slot (unless the SOTA does their accelerator diffrent than everyone else.) so you would have to use the Above…
I have tried both sets of flags.. Even if I had not tho, CR and LF's dont just happen in the middle of a word! –> ALAN
#Trump Card & Seagate
Message #5436
I am in the process of buying a Seagate ST-296N (80 meg, 28ms, 5 1/4 HH Drive) and a IVS Controller (for A2000).. Is this generaly a good configuration?? I am not a heavy graphics user, but basicly a hobbiest interested in a lot of storage and *REASONABLE* price/proformance ratio……

Message #5434
Mr. Radigan.. how come no where in the JR Comm 1.0 that I downloaded from C Serve does it say how much it costs to register your package?? I have looked in the USER MANUAL and in the program itself.. How much is that com package in the window?? Also,…

I have a 80287 math co-processor for sale, perfect to give your 2286d Bridge Board a BOOST.. $ 75.00 I also have a Intel Above Board (AT) with 2 meg of Ram. This board will work in an AT or XT (or 386) or a 2088 or 2286 BB. This…
I assume that you have a 2286 BB, other wise 16 bit (edge card) products won't work.. If you need a couple meg of ram, Intel and AST both make very good and very compatiable cards.. As a matter of fact I have an Intel Above Board Plus (it is…
What is the Retail and Street prices of the 2320 going to be? –Alan
Thanks… If I buy a Impact 8+ and later I buy a '030 accellerator card (one that accepts many meg of 32bit access ram) can I disable the ram function on the impact +8?? Alan Russell
Yes, a whole bunch of you did. And I purchased brand new software from CBM for the whole shebang.. STILL NO WORKIE!! Alan
Yes, I cleaned the edge card with a pink erase, cleaned the zorro and pc slot with dielectric cleaner and switched sockets, also made sure all chips were well seated. alan
#Amiga Diagnostics
Message #5223
I have an Amiga 2000 with a 2088 Bridge Card which lately has been giving me headaches. When I transfer a file using AWRITE characters get changed, for example test.txt becomes txst.dud or something like that.. I have tried all of the Awrite flags, and I have obtained new versions…
A2000 CTL Suggestions
Message #5091
I would like to know the name and model of some good SCSI controllers for the A2000.. I do not need the fastest, but reliabilty and compatiablity do interest me.. Also, I think I would like the card to be able to handle some ram… Are their any CTL's that…
Yes. That is what I am doing.. The only diffrence is the file name on drive RAM: would end up being MYDEXT.DHD or somethig like that… –>Alan
awrite asciifil.txt filedisk:asciifil.dat And I get some characters in the wrong places… I have used the /b and other switches, no change! UUUUUUUGH! –> Alan

Well now It has really died.. The Bridge board wont boot any dos disk anymore …. Who fixes these dam things anyway?? —Alan Russell
I have finally been able to copy files with the Bridge Board Software.. I can copy to the name of the disk (like empty:) but not to the device name… Even stranger still is the fact that everyfile I have copied the Amiga changes!! I copied autoexec.bat (just for a…
