Mark, One accellerator card that will NOT work is Intel's Inboard 386/PC. I have had to go out and buy a (yech!) PC clone since I have to have min. 1MB RAM for my business database applications, and the info I've seen says that while the SOTA 386i goes fast…
Make me number 3.

Thomas, Thank you, also, for explaining. I guess I had not been paying attention to bulletins, but I was genuinely baffled by the event. So now all is well again. I 'preciate it! Kathy

Betty, So, the mystery is solved!! Thanks for the explanation, and I will indeed check out AmigaUser. Kathy

Wot happened? Last week I was a member in good standing — did I say something wrong ??? Kathy
John, I don't know of any microcomputer based hypermedia product that allows one to build links dynamically. Even Concordia on the Symbolics is all "hardwired" during the authoring phase. Do you know of some that I'm not aware of? I'd be glad to hear about them. Another feature of "true"…
Ron, Most of your message scrolled by before I digested it,but what I saw seems like you're doing something interesting, but I don't think it's what is giving me problems. I believe the major difficulty I'm having is with a memory map collision. I'm going to call Amiga Tuesday to…
OOps!! Is it really? I ran it through Undo, and that said it was .arc – but maybe that's wrong. I'll try it. Thanks, and sorry! Kathy
#Library problem
Message #118640
There is a problem with the file "UNZIP.ARC" in library 4. I downloaded it and tried to un-arc it, but the ARC program said "An entry in UNZIP.ARC has a bad header." I downloaded it again, thinking I might have gotten a bead dump, but got the same results. Could…
Mark, I see your point, but I think you are limiting the concept of hypermedia too much. I consider any online publishing method that incorporates hypertext, sound, animation, etc. to be hypermedia. This includes educational programs, specialized databases, etc. as well as presentations. My language CAI programs are what I…
Ron, I can live without the mouse & clock — but what are the difficulties, and how can they be overcome? Specifics would be appreciated. Thanks, Kathy
Marion, Ah, there's the rub! I do indeed want the extra memory — that's my major objective, in fact, since I want to do some serious database stuff. What is the problem with the memory — not being able to set BB to 256k as with the Intel board? Thanks…
Don, Thanks for your reply. Thank goodness my brother will buy the stupid thing from me full price! Well, it was worth a try. I'll just have to look at the alternatives you mentioned. I think the BBList in Library 6(?) says the SOTA 386i will work. I'm looking for…
#Accelerator Card
Message #118496
I'm interested in putting an Intel 386/PC Inboard accelerator card in my Amiga 2000 w/A2088 BB. There is something in the installation guide that says to "set the RAM on the system board to 256K" which seems to be something the BB can't do. Has anyone used one of these,…

Amigavision?
Message #118395
Mark, Thanks for the comments. I'm looking forward to trying AmigaVision, but you are slightly inaccurate about it being the only authoring system for Amiga hypermedia — have you seen INOVAtronics' CanDo? I use that, and I'm very impressed with it. It is older than AmigaVision, too. I plan to…
Mark, Thanks very much for the generous offer! Right now I'm in the evaluation mode. I've just started writing a column on Amiga (and maybe other) hypermedia for a Macintosh (choke) CD-ROM magazine that has just been launched. Naturally, AmigaVision is something I'd like to write about, but I don't…
Betty, Thanks again. When I reread your last note off-line I realized you had said Mr. Allard is with CBM. Sorry to be so dense! Kathy
Thanks, Betty. Actually, I was looking for AmigaVision people within Commodore, too. Aren't I picky? kathy

Gail W's Address
Message #117564
Well, that's the way it goes. I do appreciate her paper address. On another topic, do you happen to have the name/address of someone involved in AmigaVision? Thanks, Kathy
branden, You are probably right. For me the big advantage is SCSI ports and Mac sounds. It's all in what you want to do with it, I guess. Since my applications are in the natural language realm, I want to use sounds and MacRecorder, which requires a SCSI port. BTW,…
Branden, I hate to be picky, but the upgrade literature I got from ReadySoft (makers of AMax) state that AMax II is NOT an internal board, but that AMax II Plus will be. Plus is to be available this Fall. When I called them last week, they told me that…
PROLOG Anyone?
Message #59431
Hi. I'm new to this forum, and may be rerunning an old topic, so please bear with me. Is there a decent version of PROLOG for native Amiga? Or do I have to use a bridgeboard? Also, I'd be interested in hearing about C++, LISP, or any other 'exotics' laying…

#TRADE-IN REALLY?
Message #74398
Don, Thanks for the tip. Would it work to alter the s/startup-sequence in CLI? I've done some hacking on a copy of my 1.1 Workbench that way, and can run several programs even Amiga says don't do very well with 1.2. (Woops -make that 1.2 I altered, not 1.1 –…
