Dos-2-Dos & WB2.04
Message #30463
What is the current version of DOS-2-DOS? I have version 3.4 and since installing WB2.04 it acts differently. It takes for ever for the D2D> prompt to come up after selecting a drive as the DOS drive, and the drive makes some really strange noises and the drive light flashes…
The MultiStart II is advertised for both the A500 & A2000. You could call DKB products to find out for sure. =Rick=
Norman, No, the ATonce lets you set up your amiga drive(s) as DOS drives A & B, it evens let you setup a DOS harddrive partition if you have a harddrive and autoboot DOS from it. -Rick Graff

Bob, The default is K3 so I assume I don't have to configure the modem for it and the 7-wire button is selected. My serial preferences (I assume you mean the systems PREF drawer) was set to XonXoff, I changed it to RTS/CTS. I forgot that I had a serial…
Bill, Do you have a standard CPU in your 2000 or an accelerated CPU? I have been told that WHAP! is much better at 9600 with a faster CPU, unfortunately since I use the ATonce AT/PC emulator I can't upgrade my CPU. I'm saving my pennies to buy a used…

Michael, You should upgrade to PageStream 2.1. It has improved drivers and import modules and If memory serves me right there are quite a few more including a ProDraw import module. Also, the new compugraphic fonts look great. -Rick Graff
Dave, There are no IBM expansion slots with the ATonce. you may be able to hook your A500 up to the bodega bay and utilize those IBM expansion slots and keep the ATonce on you mother board, but don't qoute me on it. -Rick Graff
George, Have you tried windows with the ATonce yet? A friend lent me a copy so I could see if I would be interested in buying it. I can't figure out what the DOS people love about it, it was slow and not very adaptable in my opinion. I never…

George, I would first follow Don's advice and remove the ATonce and try your amiga again. When you said you couldn't bring up a CLI or SHELL, were you trying to do this from your harddrive partition? I seem to remember a couple of months ago I had screwed up…
