Thanks, it is reassuring. However I can't imagine why C= would want this info. What about recalls. What if the power supplies started causing fires? Wouldn't they need registration information to notify owners? ARGH!
Have you ever tried to get in touch with C=? I have and it is not a pretty sight. You are usually told by their ARU (which messages havn't been updated in a long time) that all their reps are busy, if you need additional help, call back another time.…
I sent the CD32 back today as it is freezing up at times. They said they will ship another one as soon as they receive the defective unit. Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ
Check out AmigaWorld's March issue for a complete review of network cards and software.
DCTV digitizes in Hi-RES so that should not be a problem. You can save the images in 24 bit, DCTV, or any Amiga format (not AGA). The images have to be captured from stills. It can not capture from tape unless your vcr can give rock solid freezes, ot you…
New CD32
Message #129958
Well, some bad news. The CD32 locks up and reboots itself with some frequency. At times it can't even complete it's own boot screen. I'll be calling AmigaMan on Monday to return it. I hope that they will just exchange it so I don't have to wait for it to…
There were 2 shots on the cover, yours and one from Dave Thomas. On pages 22 and 23 there is a shot of your earth with an article by Dave "RX for FX … Very Special". Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ

Hi Erik, I just received the March AmigaWorld and saw another one of your great 3D renderings. I just thought I'd drop you a line to say it looks great. Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ
I have an early 4000/040, I am considering you 40MHz card with the SCSI II option for it. Will I have problems with it due to the older buster chip and or any other problems associated with the older 4000s? Also what is the pricing of this combo and are…
Thanks for the reply. I have been telling him to upgrade to a 4000/040, but he keeps putting it off. I can't imagine rendering on a stock 2000, he has a lot of patience. BTW… Regarding the problem with lowercase letters in the spline editor: I took the advice of…
>The first thing to check is whether or not the Imagine.pic is located in >the directory where the program is being launched. –Rick Ok, I'll tell him to try that. Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ
I ordered a CD32 from AmigaMan located in PA, who advertises in AmigaWorld magazine, tonight. They said that the units are in stock and I will have it in 2 to 3 days. We'll see. Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ
Thanks for the number. I am searching for the best price on the controller board. I am lucky enough to have a dealer that doesn't mind if I shop for the best price. If he can't match it, we still remain friends evev if I purchase it at another place,…
A friend of mine received 2.9 and it doesn't run. The computer's hard drive light flashes for a while and then stops. The workbench screen is there as if he did nothing. His configuration is a stock 2000 with a GVP SCSI controller and hard drive. 1 meg of chip…
Charles, I believe that Field Rendering is directed toward digital recording such as the PAR card, and any other devices that can record the odd and even lines (fields) separatly. If you render in Field mode the movement of you object(s) is captured twice as many times per frame, ie:…
->Any of these motion rides would have to be some kind of good to equal ->the 'Back to the Future' ride at Universal Studios in Florida; anybody ->done that one?? I did it once, after standing in line for 50 minutes, and that was enough. Jim R. Ollick Using AP…
Thanks for the reply. DKB is taking a C= 4091 in exchange for theirs? Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ
Reading the other replies, if C= makes good on my motherboard with purchase of DKB's 4091, I'll get it. I'm waiting to hear from my dealer to see if C= will do it. Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ
PAR SW Upgrade!
Message #37661
Thanks for the number, I'll have to call in once in a while. Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ
Thanks, I'll give that info to my local dealer. Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ
I saw an ad in the Feb. AmigaWorld, Creative Computers has the DKB 4091 with a 128 meg. expansion board (daughter board?) for $549. Should I get it? Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ
I have had that problem with many of my fonts. It seems to only occur with lowercase letters and not uppercase. I left a detailed message about it a couple of weeks ago for you but received no reply. Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ
I'd be interested if it were in Bergen County, NJ. Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ
->Did this mean that the latest update brought in the support for PAL TV ->and 25fps?? Yes, but actually the PAL support may have come sooner, there were several revisions between the one I had and 1.59. There were also other things that they added such as support for 2…
#A4091 Controller
Message #127871
I am thinking of purchasing a A4091 SCSI II controller from C=, this way they will replace my 4000/040's motherboard for free. Does anyone have experience with this controller. Is it any good? Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ
Did Commodore intro the CD32 there? IF so was the display impressive? Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ
I subscribe to AW and have the January issue in front of me. BTW the February issue is already out. The January cover has an Amiga 4000 and what looks loke a 1950 monitor sitting on it (it's quite blurry), there are also bubbles that contain a reflection of the…

A4000/040 motherboard
Message #127658
My dealer informed me today that C= will replace my motherboard under warranty if I provide a receipt for a A4091 controller. Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ
As far as I have read, the Seagate ST3600A, ST3655A, and the Micropolis 2205A are supported. The ST3655A parks its head once every 120 seconds, therefore you can not do any animations longer than 2 minutes. They claim that the drive is better for speed than the ST3600A. I have…
I asked here and found out that the version I had was replaced (it may have been you who replied to me). I called DPS, gave them my address and a week later I had the latest version. The next time I talk to DPS I am going to suggest…
If you use Imagine, get the 2.9 upgrade. It supports .PFB PS fonts. They import with absolutly no jaggies and can be beveled in many ways. Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ
I have a PAR card and the latest software for it (v1.59). It does support PAL and 25 fps. Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ

Video Toaster advice
Message #37191
You should find out what format the Cable TV company and any broadcasters you intend to advertise on will accept. Many Cable TV companys use Sony U-Matics (3/4) only, and broadcasters may only accept BetaCam format. Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ

#Mediaphile 3.8.8
Message #37190
I know of a studio that uses AmiLink. The inital release(s) were very buggy and I also think there may have been a hardware revision. The last I head was that it is working fine on Sony U-Matics and Panasonic SVHS decks. If you want, I could supply a name…

Message #37189
I bought my 4000/40 based on the same promise (30fps at any resolution). Two months ago I bought a PAR and a TBC IV and couldn't be happier. I've used the setup with Imagine. It is also a great framestore. Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ
BUG
Message #70853
To Impulse: Re: Bug Fr: James R. Ollick (CIS 73613,762) While in the Spline Editor, on several PS fonts, when combining Uppercase and lowercase letters in a single word, I get the following when I do the following: I do a control X, select a font, and type "Test" (without…
Ok Rick, I'll give them a call, thanks. Jim – On AutoPilot from Bergenfield, NJ, USA
Thanks for posting. I'll give it a try. Jim
In which format is the T-17 object? (Imagine, LW) Jim
Thanks, I'll give them a call. Do you think you could upload it to me? Is this allowed?
I am using v1.20. When you select join, a window will open, in it will be the animation file that was selected when you clicked on join. You have to select the file to join to from the files window. Jim
I also have a PAR card and the TBC IV card. What is the latest version of PAR software?
