QuarterBack&Sysquest
Message #82776
I've recently installed a Sysquest 88MB removeable hard drive to my Amiga 2000. The system is composed of a GVP 3001 (IDE controller running an 85MB Quantum Hard Drive) with an '030 accellerator with 4 MB of 32bit RAM, one CBM disk drive, WB 2.04, and GVP HC2 SCSI board…
Ric, Proper Grammer, Final Copy and Final Copy II are GREAT programs. With a new monitor for Christmas, the type looks even better. One question- What version of FC II will you incorporate Import and Export ASCII files? (had to go back to WP the other say for that reason…
Steve, Thanks for the feedback on "flicker fixer boards". I decided on the A2320 by CBM. I aslo purchased the CBM 1960 multiscan monitor. ( I am quite pleased) (maybe that's why I've had catarract surgery on both eyes, I only 35). Can I go into productivity mode once I…
Gracia, I picked up the patch on GPFax, tried to install it and it didn't work. Perhaps I did something wrong, but there has got to be an easier way to add a patch to an upgrade. I prefer the "Install" program from CBM. The electronic drug is computers. I…
#FlickerFixing
Message #82047
All, I have purchased a Commodore 1960 multisync monitor, which should arrive soon. Which 'flicker-fixer-board' would you recommend to someone planning to use the system (Amiga 2000 with '030 board, 7MB ram with a SuperGen), to add graphics to home video productions? Which board is the best all around allowing…
#GPFax software
Message #82046
Gracia, Sorry for the great delay in replying to your message, I had been in Palm Springs last week for business…. I'm still getting an extra page also when I send a FAX. Wonder where that is coming from. I'll keep my ears peeled. "Why iconify????", I read it once…

Message #81110
Gracia, How are you deleting the "extra blank page" when you send a fax? I did not install any chips in my Supra, in fact I haven't had any problems per say. Try and iconify…. Patrick White >>>
Used Amiga Prices?
Message #80242
Well then…I think I've located a buyer who is 100% a sucker. Patrick White >>>
Gracia, Yes I too am for some unknown reason faxing 2 pages, on being blank. I agree that GPFax is great! I have amazed many friends and family (acquainted with computers). For instance, after we went over to Mom and Dad's for Thanksgiving, I set the "Schedule" to transmit a…
John, I am guessing but I figure for my Packard Bell 1200 Baud Modem – $50.00, for my Amiga 1000 (bare-bones, take out the Insider) $200-$300 tops. Patrick White >>>
Don, Then what is "link" speed? Patrick White >>>
I received GPFax last week and am already enjoying this GREAT program. As with all programs, I want to dive right in… Before I received GPFax, I collected all messages pertaining to GPFax. There was one simple message which helped me dive in. Are you doing this? : run GPFax.…
Michael, When I set my link speed greater than 9600, my SuprFax 14,400 baud modem signals 144 and doesn't connect with CIS. When I back down to 9600 link speed there is no problem, usually, with connecting. What is the advantage of setting the link speed at 38400 if you're…
9600baud…problem
Message #78663
It worked. I even increased the buffer to max in the prefs. I believe the weather (it's been raining here) has something to do with the clarity on the phone lines. Thanks again. Patrick White >>>
Dominick, "Yack" rhymes with "Mac". Patrick White >>>
Well put Mark. Patrick White >>>
Thanks Richard for the info….. Patrick White >>>
Faith in Commodore
Message #78600
You may have taken me tooo seriously. I have had my Amiga 1000 (still have and now also a 2000) since 1987 (My first Commodore was the VIC-20, then purchased the 64 then the 128 then on to Amigas) . I believe I know how CBU (stock symbol for Commodore)…
9600baud…problem
Message #78523
I have a SupraFax Modem 14,400 baud V.32bis. For the past week I have had no problems in logging on at the 9600 phone number. Now all of a sudden when I log on to the 9600 CompuServe number, AP says "connect at 9600", the modem front panel reads "144",…
Gracia, Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. You might want to ask about the hard drive size (and whether it's SCSI or IDE controller) and also ask about the maker of the '030 board. You ought to check into calling Creative Computers in Calif. I've done a lot…
#Scanning for Monitor
Message #78361
Chris, Michael G. mentioned that you had purchased a Princeton Monitor from Daynmark. Would you give me some information on it? How much did you pay for it and other particulars? Thanks! Patrick White >>>
Michael, Thanks for the in depth help on monitors. Just how long have you been using your Amiga(s)? I'll give Chris Tolme a shout. Patrick White >>>
Ron Thanks for your illustrious help on monitors. Next question…In purchasing a "flicker-fixer" and possibly purchasing a Video Toaster in the future, which monitor and flicker fixer do you recommend? Patrick White >>>
James—————– Save yourself some grief. Locate your nearest Commodore Amiga Dealer and ask for a demo of some of the animation programs available for the Amiga. Better yet look at it this way…Only the AMIGA makes it possible. (quality costs… Patrick
Denny… Let's say sometime within the next year or so I decide to buy a 4000, plus I'd like to keep my 2000 with a flicker- whatever. What would you consider a good choice in monitors to do both DTP and video? Patrick White >>>>
Michael….Thanks for the monitor tip. What really is the big difference between a Multi-sync and a (lets just say) .28 dot VGA non-interlaced monitor? (and are multi-syncs interlaced…what is important for video and what is important for the best visual (DTP app) display) My intelligent 5 (and 1/2) year old…
I remember having to purchase a new parallel port cable when I bought my second Amiga, the 2000. Instead of buying a hard drive and controller for my 1000 ( soon to be my 5 year old daughter's), I thought I'd tie into my 2000. Do you have any suggestions…
Michael, Could you rig a Parnet cable from one Amiga 2000(or 3000 for that matter) to an Amiga 1000 to utilize the 2000's hard drive (and 2.04)?????? Patrick White >>>>
John, Rumor has it that Commodore will be 'retrofitting' the 2000 with a new motherboard, with AA graphics and perhaps a flicker fixer on board. I told my dealer, source of the rumor, I'd be willing to pay 5-600 dollars for a new board with all of these features. Then…
Ed, GVP BBS number is 1-215-337-5815 , F8N1 (Full duplex,8 bit data length, no parity, 1 Stop Bit). Robert Miranda usually replies, once you are registered (no charge to sign up), within 48 hrs. GVP offers excellent user support. Patrick White Patrick White >>>>
Pat, I called last Friday and ordered the upgrade to FC II. Well, Federal Express delivered Final Copy II today. It's out and they're shipping. I can't wait to try out it's new features. Patrick White FORM
Brian, I called the 1-800 number for the update. Softwood said that they would be shipping the week of Oct. 5th, so I should receive FC II by next Friday. Also they offer a nice reduced price of Softfaces. I already have Vol. 3 and 4 which add some GREAT…

Best bet call Softwood at 1-800-247-8314 BTW, I called Softwood a week ago about Final Copy II. For registered owners of Final Copy, they will upgrade you to FC II for $35.00.(?) Also Softwood stated that they would be sending out the information on FC II by mail within a…

Zack, It is hard to believe the "excitement" that people are exhibiting with 'WINDOWS'. Sometimes I think that people live in shells, but then what do I know….. The best thing to happen to COMMODORE would be a buyout, get rid of Irving Gould, Start Marketing (the key to any…
