Don, Will do! Dave Commodore Online Relations
Steve, I really don't know. I'll ask around and see if they will switch to mounting them on the card instead. Dave Commodore Online Relations
Betty, Maybe because the person that intalled the drive didn't know that the 2091 was going to be used???? ::grin:: Either that or they used a 2091 instead of a 2091/40, which would have been simpler. Doesn't take much time to move the drive from the DF1: bay to the…
Don, The 2090B seems to have evolved into the 2091, which, as you probably know, uses only about 1/3 of the card for circuitry, leaving room to mount the hard drive right on the card. If I can find out anything else about the 2090B, I'll be sure to let…
Betty, Keep in mind that how old a machine looks is entirely relative to all the other machines under consideration. ;D Maybe I should add a "best preserved" category. 😀 Dave Commodore Online Relations
A1000 contest info
Message #95049
Folks, Once again, here is how the "World Famous Impromptu Oldest A1000 on CIS" contest works. In Email, send me the serial number of your A1000. Those of you who have already done so need not send it again. Send me either a snapshot or digitized picture of your A1000…
Don, You're probably right. I'll repost the details later today. Dave Commodore Online Relations
Nelson, You have a NUDE A1000???? 🙂 Dave Commodore Online Relations
Betty, Either snapshots or digitized will be fine. I just need to be able to see it to determine the "oldest looking" category winner. 🙂 Dave Commodore Online Relations
Oldest A1000 contest
Message #94897
Folks, I must admit that I'm a little disheartened. Maybe it was the way I phrased the original post. Whatever the cause, I recieved 32 serial numbers for A1000s, but, to date, I have only recieved 2 pictures. Should I continue the contest or just return Clint's generous prize donation…
Ben, Mind??? I'm beginning to wonder if I still HAVE one! 😀 Dave Commodore Online Relations
Ben, You have that backwards…. It's a trip computer that doubles as a home portable door bell. ;D Dave Commodore Online Relations
Ben, How dare you mention that obscenity in connection with me!!! 😀 (just kidding, folks…Atari has some fine machines (if you can find them)) ;> Actually, I work in the automotive department of a KMart and have nothing whatsoever to do with computers. 😀 Dave Commodore Online Relations
Ram chips for 2091
Message #93224
Kathy, The chips you need are 256×4 DRAMs, 120ns or faster. These can be installed to configure to 512K, 1M or 2M only. Dave Commodore Online Relations

Message #90870
The 2091 circuitry has been condensed by use of different chips to the point where it takes up less than 1/2 of the board. The rest of the space gives room for up to 2MB of 16 bit fast RAM and enough room to mount at 3.5" SCSI hard drive.

#Apologies
Message #88234
My apologies, lks. The information on the A1000 trade-in has been held up and will not be posted today as I had planned and an. At this point, I don't expect to get it posted before Tuesday. I apologize for promising to release the information before I actually had it…
Brian, Quotes??? You get QUOTES??? Who ARE you talking to?? Maybe *I* could get some solid quotes too!! 🙂 Dave Commodore Online Relations
Jane, I'll pass this on and see what can be done about it. 🙂 Dave Commodore Online Relations
Ethan, You are correct. I do not make Commodore policy. I wish I did, then I could do something about either confirming or denying rumors. Dave Commodore Online Relations
Jane, I'll see what I can do! 🙂 Dave Commodore Online Relations
Brian, I don't mind all the yacking at all. If rumor is labeled as such, it can be useful, but when it's labeled as "I talked to CBM today and…" leads people to believe these are actual facts when what is being reported could very well change the next day.…

Rumors and speculation
Message #87985
Pete, Part of the problem is that leaks get out in the first place. Which would be better? Information up front that, by the time a new product or promotion is announced, has gone through so many changes that it's no longer what's expected, and possibly disappointing, or correct information…

How about if the user could set a flag in OPtions that all unread messages should be forwarded to EazyPlex if they are about to be lost due to scroll? What are pooters for, anywho ? 🙂 Rick Sterling

Larry, I can not get the remote system out of server mode with Aterm73 … My only incentive for using kermit is to be able to send entire directories, etc. Unless I'm missing something, I can only use Aterm73 for single file transfers. Rick

Message #66384
Larry, What does SWK do with an ARC file in compressed mode? I would think there wouldn't be much gain there, eh? Given that the majority of files transfered for the Amiga are ARC'd these days, I think what we need is a transparent ( no quoted data ) protocol…
