I know the status of the GenLocks for NTSC, but one guy on here said he bought a PAL Genlock, and was wondering if they would work here. Oh well, such is life. Bri

Stan, I got the package, and when I put the ink in, and the main fluid, guess what! (#&)'%0$" Printers!) It now told me I had no Blue or Black ink now! I guess they evaporated OR were used up during the JET Clean out. Hmmm, will you be around…

From: Brian Niessen Forum unknown · Hardware December 22, 1986 7:25 PM
Jon, just a note to keep you from looking foolish, Dave (Hazy) Haynie is one of the engineers at Commodore in West Chester. He is now designing the new Amigas, so I think his word is quite a good source of information.

#White Amigas Message #44703
From: Brian Niessen Forum unknown · Talk to the Trade December 20, 1986 12:01 AM
Most of you knew that the Amiga appeared in Miami Vice on one of the desks at the police HQ, BUT in their wisdom they painted it Black! Well, tonight's episode had a White Amiga on one of the desks also. Next stop, David Letterman! Guys, let's show the world…

From: Brian Niessen The Amiga Forum · Hardware December 17, 1986 1:56 PM
You got it Ron. That is what the Transformer is for, not Flight Sim. People think it sucks, but personally, I think it is great. Anyway, Ron, this is Bri, not Larry, but I am sure he will see the message anyway. Bri
#44257 IBM Color Jetprinter Message #44263
From: Brian Niessen Amiga Forum · Hardware December 17, 1986 1:55 PM
Dunno on the colors yet Kelly. I am checking ComputerLand on the ink, mainly because they asked me to get the printer working for them, and it is their printer. I could always go to Radio Shack, but I don't think they'd like that. Bri

#44184 Good Morning! Message #44207
From: Brian Niessen The Amiga Forum · Off the Cuff December 17, 1986 2:32 AM
True, Flight Sim is a fun one. LCP is cute, but still only as good as the C64 version. Oh well, another couple of programs that don't multi-task! Bri
From: Brian Niessen Amiga Forum · Hardware December 17, 1986 2:31 AM
Kelly, I am still trying to get INK for my IBM. The IBM has better text than the Canon, so if you can get them for the same price, get the IBm. OR, get the QuadRAM printer. Bri

From: Brian Niessen Amiga Forum · MultiMedia December 17, 1986 2:26 AM
Ed, never tried 3.03 under 1.2 FINAL, but are using 3.10 with no problems. 3.10 worked under 1.2 Betas and Gammas also. Are you using the 1.2 Includes and Libraries? Bri

They are available NOW in SCSI formats. 200 Meg/side! $5000+$7500 each (5K-7.5K). Mostly being used in Space Program for NASA. Lotsa fun. Will tell you more about it when I get the first one. Bri
From: Brian Niessen The Amiga Forum · Hot News & Rumors December 16, 1986 7:01 PM
Brent, did you notice anyone wearing a WHITE AMIGA sweater? (Not sweatshirt, but a nice pullover?). That was me. Oh well, as for the slot on the underside of the SideCar, it is for a Commodore designed RAM board. Hazy mentioned something about it in a previous message. Bri

From: Brian Niessen The Amiga Forum · Hardware December 16, 1986 12:52 AM
Awww, Larry, be sympathetic! Transformer works OK for some things, like the BedFord accounting program. You know me, I got upset with the IBM Printer on my desk, imagine how I would feel if I had to have a PC (Even a PC 10-II) on my desk! Transformer allows me…

Hazy, the pic of you came out OK. Mind if I upload it, or do you have any second thoughts? Street did NOT want his picture in the public domain, but you don't have his enemies, do you? Are you addicted to this like I am? Bri
