#91761 #CAD Message #91778
From: Barry Massoni The Amiga Forum · Amiga at Work November 1, 1987 4:11 PM
Thanks again, Joel. Just one more question (I hope). What are the media sizes of the various plotters? (A size, B size, etc.) Barry

Joel, Has the Apple plotter been discontinued? I just heard that the Epson was. Do you know of any of the "inexpensive" plotters that are still made? Thanks again. Barry

Joel, Thanks for the info. I want to ask a few questions though. Your message indicates that you have both an Apple plotter and a one of the Aegis programs. If you have the plotter what do you think of it? I`ve heard both that its great and its junk.…

Gerber Scientific Instuments, huh? Don`t they make baby food, too? Barry
#90664 CAD Message #90715
From: Barry Massoni The Amiga Forum · Amiga at Work October 22, 1987 11:33 PM
I`m a little confused by your last message. Did you say that the only one (plotter that is) worth buying was the Roland DXY-980? Or did you say forget it? Thanks. Barry
#90521 #CAD Message #90595
From: Barry Massoni The Amiga Forum · Amiga at Work October 22, 1987 12:24 AM
Thank you for the message. I know almost nothing about plotters, can you please tell me what "B" size is? Though I have never actually gone "plotter shopping" the only one I have ever seen advertised is the Epson HI80. Can you give me any other brand names? Does anyone…

#90361 Printers Message #90425
From: Barry Massoni Forum unknown · Hardware October 21, 1987 4:03 AM
Greg, Thanks for the reply-I think the 801 is the same as the 1525. It was suggested that I use a 64 Emulator for the Amiga to handle the screwy serial por fo the 64. I don`t think I`m going to bother though as I already have a working Seiksosha…

Ben, what do you mean by "stable media", as in, "if the printer could handle some stable media". A laser printer and driver sounds like a great idea, I`ve heard that dot matrix is out, how about ink-jet? (since we are talking on theoretical level at this point. Barry

From: Barry Massoni Forum unknown · Hardware October 19, 1987 4:00 PM
Thanks for the reply, Nick. I`m not familiar with 64 emulators for the Amiga. Can you give me a few makers? Is it hardware, software, or both? (well, I guess it would have to include hardware). Do you know if it would be possible (with an emulator) to transfer an…

#Printers Message #90078

Does anyone know if the Commodore MPS 801 printer can be used with the Amiga? I think that it was originally designed for use with the C64. Barry

From: Barry Massoni Forum unknown · Amiga at Work October 19, 1987 7:03 AM
Gee, Ben, I`ll bet they are all fine plotters. Its just that $6200 seems like an awfull lot for an "accessory" to a $600 computer. If I were a professional PCB designer I`d probably just shrug it of as a normal business expense. But I`m a hobbyist right now and…

From: Barry Massoni Forum unknown · Amiga at Work October 19, 1987 6:56 AM
Hmmm, have you tried Hyberbase records.fmt or some other "thing" that might be on the disk? One other thought, you did TYPE to PRT:-not use Notepad. I found that by using notepad a lot of the text of some of the manuals was not there. How about looking for pulldown…

The Commodore 512K expansion/clock works great. What does the Skyles unit have that the Commodore doesn`t? Or is it a price advantage?

#88930 #Deluxe Print II? Message #89032
From: Barry Massoni The Amiga Forum · Talk to the Trade October 14, 1987 4:18 AM
Perhaps next time you`re playing with it you can boot it from the floppy (firmy?) and/or disable the expansion (as long as you have 512K). Barry
#87967 #Deluxe Print II? Message #88158
From: Barry Massoni The Amiga Forum · Talk to the Trade October 8, 1987 7:35 AM
Ben, Yesterday my Marauder II arrived. It cost $24.00 and made a deprotected copy of DMusic in about 2 minutes. Just to clarify-deprotected, not just copied so it could be installed on hard disk. This is version 1.1 of MII. I borrowed a friends version 1.0 a couple of weeks…
#87876- #Deluxe Print II? Message #87950
From: Barry Massoni The Amiga Forum · Talk to the Trade October 7, 1987 3:34 AM
Well, only two comments. 1) The last review of MII that I read said that it has a utillity called "decoder"?, or something like that designed to allow installation of EA products on hard disk. 2) I just bought D music. In it there was a card offering an _unprotected_…

I`m not a programer or an expert, but I thought that re-booting the system was supposed to clear the machines memory-how can the virus be transmited? Also, should someone without the ability to look at a disk in the way you suggested run across this message will a cold reboot…

Rick, Sure, go ahead and use my name and ID if you like. It might be my only chance at "immortailty". In any case, I bought a back issue of AC and read your review of the SoundScape sampler. What I didn`t notice suprised me. You never made mention of…

Art, I`ll gladly do that. Do you know which DL it should go in? Now as for wether it`ll work on the 2000, it should, but I won`t make any promises since everything I read lead me to beleive that all the ports on the 500 and 1000 were t…

Doug, Dynamic CAD was what I was thinking of. I`ll certainly look at it a lot closer now before I buy. Thanks for your opinions and if you find a CAD program that is everything you`ve ever dreamed of for the Amiga let us know! Barry

Jim, Thanks for the info. Currently I`m using Wordstar on an Epson but have been thinking about getting Word Perfect for my Amiga. Did they tell you when the updated disks would be available through dealers? Barry
