Many thanks, No I don't have that directory – the version of Amosaic2 that I have seemed just to be the program – no docs, no installer. I've been trying to download the docs from the Mosaic site, but without the correct bits & pieces all I get is system…
Nope, nothing like that – how do I achieve this? Hoping….. John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
Rafa, Thanks, It's not AmiTCP that's giving me problems, it's Amosaic! But I'll persevere. Thanks, John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
Yes, sure am. Actually, the program now seems to want to load everything to a file that it can't find. I've set a download path in Mosaic prefs, but this seems to be ignored. The Installation notes talk about Env and Envarc files being included in the down load, but…
#AMOSAIC & GIFs Help
Message #215593
Can anyone help me out with AMosaic2? I can't seem to set a temporary disk area for the decoding of GIFs prior to display. I get a brief message that says "Can't find temporary file area – serious problem" or some such, and then the program fills my Chip Ram…
Andrew, I got it in London, Tottenham Ct Rd, in a great hurry one afternoon, for L299 ex. VAT. Most mail order companies seem to offer them for around the same price. Regards John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
Laurie, I've been using this program for many years as a MIDI control program. Many Broadway shows use it for controlling moving lights, and it's currently running sound for Ralph Fiennes' Hamlet at the Belasco in NYC. It's also used by Disney, Universal Studios and other theme parks as a…
Bill, Sorry, Dom Fontana has posted a message in another forum saying that they are no longer in business. This is a surprise to me, but he is in touch with them much more than I am, so I guess it must be true. Sorry again, John A. On AutoPilot…
PMJI, You need StageManager 3000, a superb MIDI control program running on the Amiga, from Richmond Sound Design in Vancouver. Phone – (604) 664-5860 Regards, John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
SunRize are still in business – I'm sure that they must have some software around – call them on (408) 374-4962 Regards John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
3000 Superkick – latest?

Don, Thanks, I think I've found a 3.1 kit. Regards, John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
3000 Superkick – latest?
Message #187442
O.K., I've managed to find a 3000 – a developer's machine unused for many years, BUT it has no manuals and, more importantly, a very early Superkickstart – 33D to be precise. Nothing I have will run with this version of Kickstart so where do I find a later (or…
Rainer, I'm sure that you can get it post from Canada – the address is as follows: AsimWare Innovations, 101 Country Club Drive, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada L8K 5W4 Regards, John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
Rainer, I'm using the Asimware CD-ROM file system. It works with my Apple 300 drive and my Toshiba 5201 drive with no problems. It's commercial, not shareware, but excellent value. Regards, John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
Rick, I forgot to mention that I use an open ended terminating plug at the point where the SCSI lead from the MAC joins the Syquest. The chain looks like this: MAC – CD300 CD ROM – SCSI Line terminator (double ended) – Syquest External – Quantum 250Mbyte internal -…
Rick, No, not too many questions! The Trump Card is just a SCSI controller card for the Amiga that is fast and intelligent. I don't think it's all that key, although it does handle device sharing rather elegantly! Regrettably, it's also out of production. I believe that IVS, the company…
Gary, OK, Don't worry. Season's Greetings.. John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
Gary, Did it go yet? If not, I'm interested. I'm visiting the U.S. next week for four days, so maybe we can sort something out while I'm there. Regards, John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
Tom, Is this the DKB thing? If so, I'll take one. I'm in the U.K., but have had no problems buying from the U.S. usually, I just mail Amex travellers checks for the right amount! Let me know how much for p&p and where to mail to. Regards, John A.…
You need the Apple CD300 – and software drivers for the Amiga side. Either generic to the 3.1 upgrade or from Xetec or AsimWare. The CD300 has just been replaced with the CD300E, which does not use a caddy to hold the CD, so the original CD300 can be found…
Richard, Yes, AutoPilot will suit you down to the ground. A word of advice – messages in caps make it look as though you're shouting! Download AP.LHA from the AmigaVendor library 9 and try it out. If you like it, you can use SWREG to register online and a binary…
Alex Got one, but am in the UK. Yours for the postage! John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
Yes Please bother MUI is excellent! Thanks. John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
Jaxon, Many thanks, I'll send you the money – I don't use credit cards, only charge cards! Thanks again for finding it – expect the money in around 7 days. best wishes, John
Jaxon, Thanks, I'll keep my fingers crossed! John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.

144LC and Amiga
Message #154289
Eugene, Sorry, I can't help. We're a little behind in the 28.8 stakes here, so I can't try and duplicate your problem. However, I'll ask ariund and see if I can find any more information. Best wishes, John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
Eugene, I've been using a Supra 144LC for six months now, with my 2000. Absolutely no problems at 14400 hookup. If I can help, just ask. John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
Rushdi, You need to have a CD-ROM File System installed. AsimWare make one called ASIMCDFS, or there's a Shareware one in the libs somewhere. Regards, John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
Hal, I just dug out a disc from a company called Canadian Prototype Replicas. It's a set of CD Rom drivers for SCSI drives and the package states that it will work with the CBM590 SCSI controller, which, if memory serves, was the add on unit for the A500. I've…
Thanks, I'll hope it's stil around, unless anyone would like to sell me their copy? Regards, John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
Elan Performer 2
Message #84376
I understand that you have the didtribution rights to Elan Performer II. I am anxious to obtain a copy, having used Elan Performer for a number of years. Please can you tell me how I go about ordering a copy from you. Thanks, John A. On AutoPilot all the way…
Robert, I'm not at my desk at the moment, so I don't have the numbeer to hand, but if you look in the directory under The Synthesizer Company, or TSC at 9, Hatton Street, they should be able to help. I bought the Asimware software in New York, but I…
Bob, I'm using a CD300, with the ASIMWARE CDFS 2.2 File system, and IVS Trumpcard pro and have no problems at all. The CD300 came from The Computer Warehouse in Hatton Street, for L149 exc vat, and included a cable, a mains lead and a SCSI terminator. I got no…
Paul, I had the same problem – it's the fuse. Don't call Commodore Tech support; they'll tell you that this is a known fault and requires a motherboard swap. (I'm not joking) If you can't fix it yourself, and if your're in London or the south east, there are a…
I get eight tracks with no problems, using a Commodore 25 MHz 030 board, an IVS Trumpcard Pro and a Quantum 250 Meg Prodrive. make sure that you have set your cuelist pre-load and memory buffers correctly. There should be no problems with your set-up. SunRize have an excellent technical…

george, Thanks, I have now downloaded it… I'll let you know my progress. Regards, John
Aha! Why did I not think of this sooner? Must be because IVS support in the UK is nil.. Ah well, another long distance call I suppose. Thanks, John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
Paul, thanks again, I'll download it…. John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
Ref mountlist; O.K., understood & Thanks again, John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
Chistopher, I have OS2.1 with the 2.05 ROMs and the IVS Trumpcard Pro. It seems that the IVS software is not writing a mountlist for the Syquest. I've just bought a 1200 which came with GVP software for hard-disk prepping, so I might get a SCSI card for it and…
Paul, O.K, thanks. My second machine (an elderly 1000 ) died to day, so I've had to purchase a 1200! No spae cash for the CD ROM now! But the info is still useful, as they come on the second-user market on a regular basis. thanks again for the work.…
Don, I've tried this, but HDTools does not seem to have the correct information for any of my SCSI drives. I'm using the IVS Trumpcard Pro controller, and all the prepping has been done using their software. Altering the HDTools tooltype to use the IVS .device gets HDTools running, but…
Thanks Paul, I'd appreciate that…. Regards, John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
#Syquest mounting help
Message #129949
Help! I've just got a Syquest 555 drive that I want to add to the SCSC bus of my Amiga 2000. Using the utilities, I have no problem formatting the disk, but when I re-set the computer there is no sign of the drive. Do I need a mount-list command?…
#Apple CD300 CD-ROM
Message #129913
Does anyone know if the Apple CD300 CD-ROM drive will work with an Amiga? It seems to have a pretty standard SCSI connector on the back. John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
Margaret, I bought a copy on the newsstaand at Newark Int'l. Reading it on the 'plane back to England, my wife, who is not at all interested in computers, leaned across and pointed at your picture: "That's wonderful – how did she do that?" Just thought you might like to…
#Microcom V42 Modem help!
Message #125784
Hi, I've just got a used Microcom MicroPorte 1042 V.42/V.42bis MNP Class 10 modem.(no manual, natch!) Theoretically, this should allow me to log on at 9600 to the London node, however, this is not the case. I can only log on at 2400, no matter what I try. Does anyone…
Nancy, Sorry, I've been offline for a few days. I'll bet my act together and call you back on this. Glad you're able to function for the time being, regards, John A. On AutoPilot all the way from the U.K.
