Jonahan, Well…stil fiddlin' around?! The file gave me the specs more or less. It doesn't specifically state "blocks per track" and "blocks per cylinder". It states: Average Sectors Per Track__46, Tracks__12708, Cylinders__1412, Heads__9, Tracks/Inch__1280, and Bits/Inch__19058. (I don't know if these two are relevant.) Anyway, I tried 46 for blocks/track…
Jonahan, Got the Email file. Great! Thanx! Looks like the ST-435 is it! I can work on it this weekend. I'll keep you posted. Jan Thanx,
Jonathan, The Imprimis hd is model 94171-307, part 77777000, lot 0-03-8939-2. That info's right off the drive, on little barcode stickers. We were using it in a 386 at work, on a now "obsolete" scanning, retouching and charting workstation. It's a 300 megger, so all this 'work' is worth it!…
Jonathan, Nope, going IBMFF, keyword Imprimis, two files nothing on jumpers.. Oh Well… jan Thanx,
Jonathan, Well, IBMFF, with keyword seagate, found 16 files. One was for a Seagate4096. It was a schematic of a drive's jumpers, but not this Imprimis monster… Hmm, maybe I'll search on Imprimis… Jan Thanx,
Jonathan, Grea idea re: IBMFF and Seagate. I'll check it out. Jan Thanx,
Larry, Glad to hear that this Imprimis SHOULD work. Now, if I could get the docs that explained each jumper, I'd know how to set them… I've been calling Seagate (I was told they bought Imprimis?) but get no answer. The number's at work, it's an 800 #. Maybe I'll…
Larry, Imprimis Model 94171-307 Part 77777000 Lot 0-03-8939-2 It's a big sucker (3x5x7.5 inches), I'm also wodering if the power supply from the Mac 80mb exetrnal case I'm using is too small, (one amp, I think?) Jan Thanx,
Larry, Re: The Imprimis HD. I tthink there may be an unknown electrical or jumper problem wih the drive as it doesn't seem to allow writes. In HDTools when I 'save changes to disk' the drive listing says 'not changed' as if it were saved, but upon rebooting, the drive…
Jay, Thanx for getting back to me re: the Imprimis HD. Using HDTools, I do define the drive, partition it, then whn I try to 'save changes to drive', it doesn't 'take'. The drive entry does say Not Changed but I believe it's incorrect. When I format from the shell,…
Vic, Thanx for geting back to me! Well, I've removed the drive for now, as I never got to successfully save the drive definition and partitions to hdtools. Maybe I shoud have tried QBTools? Never did get the drive to low-level format, or see the drive on the wb. Anyway,…
#New HD, Mountlist?
Message #23980
Howdy, I've gotten an Imprimis scsi hd. I can define it with HDTools in WB 2.04, but do I still need to put an entry in my mountlist for it? If so, what would be a good model to use? It doesn' yet show up on he WB to do…
Peter, Great, I'll be around all weekend. Good Luck! Jan Thanx,
Hi Bill, Call ASDG at 608-273-6585. Good Luck! Jan Thanx,
Peter, re: universal loader… Go for it! Thanx, Jan Thanx,
Peter, I really appreciate your willingness to perhaps 'cobble a script together'. But don't put yourself out. I should do some arexxing myself, and I probably won't be needing multi-copies this month or next. BUT __ if you just must make a script, I created these images in Light 24…
Karl, For our user group (AWest) newsletter (BlocksFree) in SF, I always use a gamma of 35 to 50. I print to an HPLaserJet IIp wih PacificPage postscript cartridge, then xerox those ProPage masters. AdPro works great and as advertised. You have to experiment wih each type of original image,…
Peter, Soundsa like greek to me! 🙂 I'm keeping your suggestion as I won't be getting around to it this month (or next?). Thanx,
Peter, Nope, AdPro has no known way of printing multiple copies on request. I called ASDG some weeks back and the tech (?) said Nope., but I thought I could hear the lightbulb switch on behind his mouthpiece… He was not fluent in Arexx, so couldn't help me there. Before…
Peter, Howdy, this ain't Perry, but I saw your note about the new Arexx scripts. What would it take to make Adpro print mutliple copies of the same file to the printer? Just finished a limited run (25) of a book wih my photos of Africa printed to an HP…
QB5 + Apple40SC Tapes
Message #39077
Howdy, Anyone trying to use an Apple 40SC tape backup with QB 5? I had one tape already formatted, and it works fine. I wanted to format (Erase) another, and QB tells me to insert the tape. I do (or had already) and click OK, but the insert tape msg…
Backup, reform and restore are definitely what I have in mind, Good Advice.
Doug, Howdy, interesting idea about the Assigns: . I checked that out but no there wasn't anything like that. Even did a null assign BrokenDir:. Then tried to delete it, nope it wouldn't go?! I am running under 2.04, seems though that the problem is not recurring, so maybe that's…
Don, List of the "BrokenDir" (that's really what I was able to rename it!) from cli shows 'Directory "" is empty'. Doing 'Delete BrokenDir All' from within BrokenDir shows 'No file to Delete'. But I don't think that's where you meant me to try it, anyway. Doing 'Delete BrokenDir All'…
Losing Files! SCSI?
Message #21956
Howdy, Does this sound familiar to anyone? I copy files to, or save documents to a directory on the harddisk in DiskMaster or from the desktop. I then close the drawer, then when I reopen it, either immediately, or another day, some files are gone! In addition, I can not…
Dean, Ah haa. Now I understand. The 2091 doesn't see the syquest because it hasn't spun-up yet. I have got all the carts as a single 42 meg partition (just by luck). I will start leaving a cart in the drive now then reboot. I guess had a I gotten…
Bill, Looks like the vulcan nerve pinch it is, for now. Acually, I timed it and it's only 20-30 seconds delay, so, no biggie. Jan Thanx,
Syquest = slow mount?
Message #21315
Howdy, I'm no novice with scsi, but I need help with my new internal syquest. It's installed and running just fine. However, I have to reboot to get my 2500 aware of the cart. Not a changed cart, just at startup. Know what I mean? As if it needs to…
Jerry, I agree that installation and setup of MIFont is confusing. Just wanted to let you know that I've had it up and running perfectly for almost 1 year. I don't know what Error 008 means. MIFont should transfer the bitmap font fine of any Mac font for which you…
John, re: DK500C. I intend to print primarily manipulated color images (captures and scans). You think the colors are rich enough? I'm not interested in pastels for presentation charts or color text. The printing on various papers is a good point and something I'd want, but I thought the paintjet…
Xerox 4020 driver blues?
Message #19442
Howdy, Anyone know what C= changed with the Xerox 4020 printer driver in Dos 2.0? The driver size is 7016, 1.3's driver was 6516, now neither of them are working for me (under Dos 2.04). 2.0's never prints from AdPro 2.0, or DPaint IV, it just makes the platten roll,…
Troy, Steve Worley's book, "Understanding Imagine 2.0" says it's (Boing FX) broken?! I haven't tried it yet, though. Don't know about the FC24 problem, wish I had one to test :>) Jan Thanx,
Understanding 2.0 Book!
Message #33992
Howdy All, Just received my copy of Understanding Imagine 2.0. WOW! This is great! 5 pages of Table of Contents, 9 Appendices, and an 8 page index! There's even a disk-o-stuff, too. Oh yeah, it's a 200+ 8 1/2×11" AmigaTeX'ed typeset, accessibly laid-out, english spoken here manual like should have…
Rawl, Thanx for replying. The conundrum continues. It seems that if I power on my HPIIp printer/PacificData postscript cartridge first then power on the cpu etc, ProWrite and DesignWorks perform as expected! To further confuse things, just now starting to Whap to cis, the same bomb (I think, didn't get…
#Why DWorks, PWrite Bad?
Message #32425
Howdy, After installing WB 2.04. new ROMs on the motherboard, the 2091 controller, and my 2630 accellerator ( 🙂 ), I find I can't get either ProWrite 3.2.2 or DesignWorks 1.0 to load. I repeatredly get Error 8000 0004 (or 00002, etc.) I've reinstalled 2.04, cleared out and deleted then…
Mark, OK I'm eagerly awaiting the upgrade! Jan Thanx,
Hi Betty, Got Noclick. Thanx. Happy Holidays, Jan Thanx,
Bill, Always nice to read another San Franciscan on the net. I used to have a 1000 with 5 megs of ram and an external harddrive. Now I have a 2500. You can do most of the same things with the 1000, but you will be putting money into a…
Hey Jan, Never mind. 5 minutes after posting that message, I found Greg Cunningham's "Noclic.lzh" in the Amigauser Disk Utilities lib. Got it, and it seems to be doing the 'no-click' trick! Thanx Greg. Thanx,
#No df0 click?
Message #18113
Howdy, Now that I've gotten my 2500 up to ECS, WB2 ROM, and a 2M Agnus, How do I eliminate DF0's click? I used to have "NoKlick" KickStart patched, or something, but I don't have it anymore. Is it here in the Libs? Thanx, Jan
1/4 Back & Apple 40SC?
Message #31674
Howdy, Any chance Quarterback 5 will support an Apple 40SC Tape backup on the Amiga? I've access to one, be nice o use it. Thanx, Jan – via Whap!
Mark, Thanx for replying. I wonder what else it could be? I have Mach II running, with 'SunMouse', 'Click to Front', and a 'Mouse Accelerator'. But even when I turn those things off (and Mach II), I still freeze up when double clicking in a file requester dialog box! Wonder…
John, Ah, more mysteries! I guess no one else has had 2091/Imagine problems, so maybe it's something else in my system. Can't wait to get 2.0.?! Later, Jan – via Whap!
John, Not too sure of all the new goodies, 'cept Louis Markoya said to get this sized Imagine as it squashes a bug that prevented his Map Master from working properly. Yeah, it happens all the time. I think it's the controller because I had to get 'Bang Zero' to…
Imagine/2091= 🙁 ?
Message #26375
Howdy, I'm trying to work with Imagine 1.1fp (latest disk from Impulse, .lzh file dated 12Jun91, fp version 484052 in size). When navigating in file requesters, if I double click the left mouse button to select files or directories I almost always freeze up. I've got a 2000, 2630, 1&8…
Gary, I second your motion of having a MIfont section on CIS. I've had MIfont since January, realy has given my Amiga dtp a needed shot in the arm! I still get a little foggy when talking about the arrangement of font directories, etc. that MIfont sets up. No major…
Ron, In the an Francisco area, Giraffe-X does Amiga (and Mac) lino output. 415-346-9166, ask for Richard. 415-346-9147 BBS Jan
#14598-
#HP2P
Message #15162
I really am happy with my HP IIp. Have had it since September. I use a Pacific Page cartridge for postscript output and have 2.5 megs of ram. No problems at all. I use ProWrite, ProPage, and ProDraw (can you sense a pattern here?) You should be happy with it.…
Andrw, Thanks for the 'delete cache contents' tip! I am getting missing characters in rotated text boxes. You demo'd PPage to me at AmiExpo in LA, thanx. What, you don't remember me? Jan 😎
Chris, Yeah, re: null-modem connection. That's why I want to bring the Mac home. Actually, it's only downstairs in the office. I live in a warehouse collective, I'm the President, and we have a Mac in the building office. I just got off the phone with Gary at Mirror Image.…
