#renderhame.library
Message #30836
I dled the new VIEWER 1.01, and got the HLIB.LZH files and still I can not get the viewer to work with 24 bit or GIFs. It does not guru with GIFs anymore, but it still says I need RENDERHAME.LIBRARY which I have in my LIBS: directory. Perhaps the versions…
Sorry for all the questions, when you say it can go into a 500, does that mean the chip is interchangable with the existing Denise chip? I heard stories that you need a board to encorporate the new Super Denise chip.
#Viewer bugs
Message #30801
I downloaded the Viewer file, and I can't seem to get it to work with either 24-bit IFF, or GIF files. When loading 24-bit IFF, it says Needs HAMERENDER. LIBRARY and I do have it in my LIBS: directory. Also, with GIF iamges it GURU's upon trying to load it.…
If you do decide to do it that way, called Genigraphics up. They offer great rates, and do excellent work. They typically work with Powerpoint images, but I believe they image from other sources. Call 1-800-555-1212 and ask for Genigraphics. They have locations all over the US and depending on…
What I would do, is convert the IFF24 file into a standard supported file format such as TIFF 24-bit, or TGA 24-bit files with ADPro or what ever – then send them to your local PC Imaging place for 35mm slides. That way you are not limited to going with…
Ah, I see. So I will still need to buy a multisync w/ a new denise in order to utilize the new modes in non-interlace. Does it connect to the RGB port without problems? Also, is the new denise chip actually available now, and how much does it cost. I…
Here's one feature that I would like to see in a future release of ADPro (I'm not sure, it could already be in this new release): An alternate buffer. There are times I scan images and would like to place the image into a blank 640X480 buffer in order to…
I tried saving something in PMBC format yesterday, and the screen asked if I wanted status, I said YES, then it flipped to my Workbench screen and just sat there. I waited a bit, thinking it was doing something -b ut then it didn't do anything. So I went back…
#Super Denise
Message #41673
Will the 640X480 Productivity mode work with the standard 1084 montior in a non-interlace display?
What advantages will I get by installing the new Denise chip in my system? Can I install it in a 500? Does it come with the new 2.0 upgrade?
Is there a backlog of orders, or shall I expect mine in a couple of days?
I agree, Image Alchemy is not IP. BUT, I have to say I like Image Alchemy for my IBM – it lets me view/convert 24-bit IFF files, and JPG files! For $75.00, it's kind of pricey but its the only thing out there I know of in the IBM world…
My prices are probably not comparable, since I bought my Amiga 4 years ago when prices were high. My 486 at work was bought just a month ago, but we negotiated lower prices due to bulk buying. (Over 700 units). We are buying ALR Business Veisa systems which are EISA-based.…
I agree, Windows is a mess compared to Workbench in stability. When looking at integrating a Windows-based system (which I am in the process of doing) in a situation with over 700 users on a network, alot of which will happen is in the realm of voodoo. Its a very…
At work, I use a PC (486SX system) and I can load 24-bit images into my system fairly simply. I can import 24-bit TIFF images, and TGA images into programs such as Superbase for Windows, PageMaker, Micrograpfx Designer, MSWord 2.0, etc. These are all Windows based programs. If I had…
Perhaps my misconception occured from not being able to load various images that have the same resolution, or let me say some images can not allocate undo buffers; whereas, others can (all the same resolution). I assumed the difference was in color size. I'll check out VBR!
It seems as if all you want a 030 for is speedier IP operations, then you do not need the MMU. According to Ben, IP does not use standard OS calls for their screen IO therefore using the MMU to push ROM into 32-bit ROM will not be benefitial, and…
I'll give my system a try without Fastrom. To tell you the truth, I've had FASTROM on for so long I don't think I've used IP without it turned on.
Paul, That is why Windows on the MS-DOS platform is gaining so much popularity. Windows has a standard that you have to develop in, and it gives the user a standard interface. Learn that, and then the rest is a breeze!
Very good point!
Word Perfect has just released a Windows version of their IBM WP5.1, and it is a WYSIWYG system. I have to say it is very impressive (having used it since their Beta II came out) but it falls short of its competition Microsoft Word V2.0.
What kind of system are you running? If it is a 3000, I can see why you may not need to push the system ROM into RAM. But, on my 500 I see a dramatic increase in screen re-writes (In both IP, and just plain Workbench, and ANY application I…
The reason you want the system ROM in 32-bit fast RAM is that it will increase your screen performance dramatically! Your normal screen IO is being handled with ROM running at 16-bit speeds; that redirected to 32-bit FAST RAM will turbo charge your display. I was shocked at the difference…
Thanks! Will be looking forward to it!
The optimum configuration for the CSA Mega Midget Racer is to get a 030 with the MMU option, and some 32-bit RAM. (Not static ram). A almost identical situation would be to tget the 030 without MMU, but get teh Static RAM, and some 32-bit RAM. The thing that will…
I have a 500, and the CSA 030 board with 4 megs of 32-bit RAM. The board works perfectly on my 500 and performance is wonderful! If you have a 500 I'd highly suggest the CSA products!
On the AmigVendor forum, Darin posted a message stating that Oxxi did purchase the Amiga/Commodore/Atari Superbase product line.
An obvious question: This LSI version – is there any difference between it and the new design? And is there, or need there be an upgrade path for us with the older design?
Upgrade
Message #29936
I got two letters in the mail for ADPro upgrades, one says it costs $130.00 and the other says it costs $75.00. I've already written a check for the first one (which was $75.00) and sent it out today. What does the second letter mean? If I had waited another…
Since you are the President of the Windows Association, could I ask for perhaps some mail pertaining to your Association? I'm working for a large DC based law firm, and we are looking serious to standardize on Windows as a user front-end. My address is: Joseph P. Kuzma Hogan &…

Sunrize Perfect Vision for sale: asking $80.00 Leave EMAIL, or response if interested. Any reasonable offer will be considered.
Thanks. I'll get the latest IP and JPEG module!
I'll double check, and re-download the JPEG stuff just in case.
#JPEG incompatibility
Message #29597
I've created some JPEG files from GIF files on my IBM using Image Alchemy V1.14 and my version of IP with the JPEG loader will not recognize or load these images. I'm not sure if Alchemy on the IBM is JFIF JPEG compliant or not, but I will upload the…
Harry, While I don't recall how much the ADPRO loader costs, I have a JX-100 and the ADPro loader and all I can say is GET IT. Its' 100% better than the SL100.
No problem. I will probably never give up my Amiga either, but the IBM world has come along way and I think it's almost a must to have an MS-DOS based machine at home. (Especially since I work with them all day).
I have a CSA MMR (4 megs of 32-bit RAM, 030 25mhz, 882 25mhz), but I do not have any other boards with it. A friend though does have a MMR, and a Flicker Fixer and has done just as I said with total success. Everything works fine on his…
You may want to call CSA up and ask about it, I do know that it will work with the Flicker fixer from ICD, if you get a blank socket, and put it in the CPU slot to space the board away. You may be able to do this and…
Yes, I own ADPro – and would love to test your CGM support. What exactly is involved in the testing? Will I need to file some sort of daily or weekly report? Will I need to fill any sort of paper work (I had to do such for beta testing…
They vary, most are fairly simple clip-art type, diagrams, logos, etc. Alot scanned art that is traced into object-orientated to be cleaned-up, manipulated, etc. Unfortunately, it is all generated by the same source, Micrografx Designer for Windows 3.0 IBM. Joe
Raman, It's a module for ADPro, but it can be used on its own also. (There are two products that comes with it: ADPro module, and a stand-alone). It's well worth the upgrade cost! Esp. now that it is faster than the old SL100 in scanning an image.
I attened the same FedMicro in Washington DC, and saw the SPC booth displayign one part of SB4 for Windows. The person that was there was not a direct SPC or Precision employee when I saw it, but rather an employee of a consulting firm local to us (VA) that…
I got the new verion of the JX-100 module in the mail automatically, so I assume the new enhancement of faster speed is available now… that is if its the same thing your talking about
Perhaps you could return your DCTV and get a HAM-E? In all seriousness, I don't know. Have you tried using your DCTV on another Amiga? If it does the same identicle thing on another Amiga then all chances are its the DCTV that is at fault and it should be…
See my prior message.
I have a JX-100 , and with your new update JX-100 module – my scans turn out the same as if I used Scanlab 100. Perhaps your scanner is on the flacky side?
Dave, I feel better about grilling ASDG re: JX-100 slow speed scanning!! I have the same complaint. Hopefully they will resort back to the other mode of scanning! Joe
I would appreciate it. The way it is currently, I find it hard to justify its use. Very hard! It takes more than twice in tiem to scan, and I have a 68030 system. I used it a few times, just because I think the preview is much better and…
JX-100 Module
Message #25794
I received the JX-100 module for ADPro the other day, and am happy to say everything works fine. I am though, disappointed that the ADPro module for the JX-100 operates considerably slower than the Scanlab 100 that came with my JX-100. So much slower, than in many cases I will…
Will do. Joe
