John, >As to the use of "blank" screens, I suggest that you create a "blank" >screen >(16 colors with color 0 as as the background) and saving it in the >"Backgrounds" directory. Call it "Blank001", for example, so that it is >near the top of the list. Each time you…
#Cybervision & Scala
Message #48215
John, I have installed a Cubervision64 board into my A4000-030. I am now having some problems with ScalaMM400. I boot into WB 3.0 using the Cybervision screen mode 640x480x256. SCALA loads OK(most of the time) and will run all my scripts except those that have blank (one colour) screens. I…
Quickem on Amiga
Message #209362
Thanks John, I am about to take delivery of a Cybevision graphics card so video display should be fine for me Iguess. Andrew Letchford, Plymouth UK.
Enjoy 🙂 Andrew Letchford, Plymouth UK.
Clint, Thanks for the info. Is the 3.1 upgrade a significant change from 3.05 to make the upgrade for me worthwhile or would you recommend waiting for v4.0. How would I go getting the upgrade when it ships. I did send in my registration card. Andrew Letchford, Plymouth, UK
Clint, That is a pity for me as I am about to receive a Cybervision board. I guess my copy of VistaPro v3.05 is not going to work any more. Is there a workaround for this at all. Would a second monitor using the AGA chips on the Amiga video…
John, How does shapeshifter perform on an unaccelerated 4000/030. Slower yes but is it workable. Andrew Letchford, Plymouth UK.
Jeff I thought you said you were going away on holiday for a few months;-) (JAM issue 56 – BTW I enjoyed reading your 18 page article on ImageFX) Andrew Letchford, Plymouth UK.
Thanks Julia; Friends at CIS eh! Andrew Letchford, Plymouth UK.

#Scala Press Release I
Message #197608
John, Has there ever been a distributable runtime module for the amiga. I understand why Scala have kept the dongle but it dosn't stop me hating it. A runtime module would allow me to demo my stuff to others without the hassle of remembering to take a dongle plus all…
ST207.DMS
Message #190175
I have just seen the latest update to Studio Printer driver. I have a registered copy of Studio 2.01 therefor the latest upload is no good to me. How do I get the Update to the latest version. Andrew Letchford, Plymouth UK.
John et all That is the number but you will find that there has been no update since Feb 15. i.e. nothing new. I just rang them. Andrew Letchford, Plymouth UK.
#Second Hard Drive
Message #180518
I have recently purchased a Quantum 730AT HardDrive to add as a second drive to my A4000-030's existing SeaGate 240 as supplied with the computer. Unfortunately I purchased this thing at a recent Amiga Show in London and there were no fitting instructions with it. I want to slave it…
Ken, I wouldn't accept that response from Scala. They are the ones who insist on a damn dongle and they should make sure that the dongle is able to accept any device. However I have had very little response from Scala on this issue despite phone calls etc. I don't…
I dl ImageStudio and I am very impressed. Yes the unregistered versionis limited to 250×250. However there are some images in the archive and some tutorials in the docs to show what the program is capable off. It is no substitute for ImageFX or any of the other big programs…
Steve, Thanks for the info. I have been holding off going commercial. i don't need all the bells and whistles yet! Just .Gif; I'll give ImageStudio a try. Andrew Letchford, Plymouth, UK
Thanks for taking the trouble to reply byt see Steve's message. Andrew Letchford, Plymouth, UK

Is there a utility to save images as .gif files for uploading to CIS? Andrew Letchford, Plymouth, UK
#Update: AmiCDROM 1.13
Message #163900
Is there a system utility that will allow the reading of Macintosh HFS format HD disks in the Amiga Disk drive. Andrew Letchford, Plymouth UK.
Clint, Thanks for the info. I will get browsing. Andrew Letchford, Plymouth, UK
Clint, I just jumped in here as I have recently bought VistaPro. Is there an area on CIS that provides DEMs on Amiga side? Andrew Letchford, Plymouth, UK
Betty Thanks for the info. Ihave located the file but I cannot get a download. I have tried using both Term and NComm with no success. I know I must be doing something wrong. I have the comms program set up for 7-Even-1 but when I go to DL the…
Ron, Butting in here. I have an Amiga 4000-030 running WB3. I have seen much talk of this MUI software. How do I get hold of it. Is it in the libraries here or do I get it from Germany? What do I need to run it? -=>===-Andrew Letchford=–=UK=-
#AutoPilot
Message #158707
Hi all. I am fairly new to the Amiga side of CIS and have yet to find a good OLR. I notice some of you are using Autopilot. Is this an OLR and if so where can I get hold of a copy. Also I seem to be having difficulty…
#CIS Offers Scala Forum
Message #41831
John, I have been off CIS for some time. I mainly use GEnie. However I will be on more often now that you will have your own Forum. I am using SCALA MM210. Cannot yet justify the hefty #200(British pounds) to upgrade to MM300. One question: will the support offered…
Books
Message #35311
All, Can anyone tell me which of the following two books provide the best guidance to DTV: Amiga Desk Top Video 2nd Edition by Stephen Anzovin. Amiga Desk Top Video Power by Guy Wright. Any other book recomendation for someone (me) just starting out with DTV using A4000-030, Scala Multimedia,…
#UserrGroup
Message #111040
I tried to Email Peter Miles but CIS said they could not find the addressee! Was the one you gave me correct or has he moved to another BB. -=>===-Andrew Letchford=–=UK=-
FlightSims
Message #111039
I am new to the Amiga. I use it mainly for DTV but I like simulations. Would someone give me steer towards the best flight sim for an Amiga 4000-030 and what sort of joystick to buy. (Analog or the other kind?).
Lou, I can't dial 800 numbers from UK. Can you give me a regular number please. -=>===-Andrew Letchford=–=UK=-
Lou, Butting in here. I would like to subscribe to DTVW. Can I get an evaluation copy sent to me in UK together with the international Subscription rates. I will Email the details if this is possible. -=>===-Andrew Letchford=–=UK=-
Sam, and Bill and Robert, Thanks for all the help and advice. Yesterday, all the monitor types showed up. Why I am not sure. The only thing that I did prior to this happening was to disconect my Genlock. (The Genlock ribbon cable is flaky so I am returning it…
Betty, I think I know what ICPUG means; International Commadore ? User Group? I don't know of one in UK. -=>===-Andrew Letchford=–=UK=-
Robert, I have not changed the startup sequence other than to put the blanker in the startup drawer. I tried clicking on the DblPAL icon; it did not show up. Neither did any of the other monitor icons I tried. Only PAL and NTSC. -=>===-Andrew Letchford=–=UK=-
Jonathan, VideoPilot is a computer controlled editing system(hsrdware and software) which utilises the Amiga to set up comprehensive edit lists to edit and ease the production of videos. Among its features are: 1. Assemble and insert edit, audio dub and preview. 2. Script management to move, copy, insert and delete…
Betty and Steve, Thanks for the welcome and info on Autopilot. I am accessing this forum from my Apple IIGS at the moment. I have yet to obtain a comms program for the Amiga. I assume Autopilot needs a Comms program to access CIS or does it do the lot.…
#WB3
Message #109686
Hi, Well I warned you. Here is the first of my queries. I have A4000 30 with one of Commodore's new dual sync monitors, the 1942. I have all monitor types loaded into the DEV/Monitor drawer but only the NTSC and PAL show up in the Pref/Screen Mode window. I…
Thanks for the welcome Robert. I am sure I am going to enjoy exploring the new beast. -=>===-Andrew Letchford=–=UK=-
Everett, Sorry to hear about your M/C accident. Hope you are fully recovered now. I agree the GEnie interface is lousy but I have an off line program (the same one I am using to log on here) which does it all for me. It is Apple IIGS specific so…
Michael, Thanks for the welcome. I have no problem with GEnie and get around using my CoPilot offline manager to access and do whatever I want to do. Does Auto pilot have similar capability? Memory: Yes I will get the full 16 megs just as soom as the price of…
Steve, I am getting my amiga from a freelance recomended to me. He is in Swansea, South Wales. I am purchasing also the VideoPilot V330 from Apollo Mercury. They are coordinating the whole deal for me and I am taking all my video kit up to see them set it…
#Newcomer
Message #108869
Hi, I am a long standing user of the Apple IIGS. It lacks only one thing; the ability to do DTV effectivly. Otherwise it is a great computer (I am loyal). Now that I want to get into DTV, I have just purchased an Amiga 4000-30, 2+4 megs of RAM,…

#Amiga Pubs.
Message #32429
Hi all, What are the best Amiga (or other) publications to glean good info on DTV and products for the Amiga. In UK all the publications just deal with games. Nothing on the serious FUN side. -=>===-Andrew Letchford=–=UK=-
Ron, WOW! Thank you very much for all that info. It has given me more to think about. I guess what I must do is try to find someone in UK who is running this stuff and go see. I am beginning to like the soud of the Amiga 4000.…
#Desktop Video
Message #32427
Frank, What are V-Lan Xmitter/Receivers? I'm afraid the card you talk about only emulates the AppleIIe not the IIGS which is a different beast (IIGS interface runs under GS-OS and is a GUI like the MAC) I don't think I can get Video Toaster User in the UK easily. Who…
Ron, I guess my main focus is DTV. What I want to do is to use the computer to control my VCR harware, both in and out; Utilise the computers graphic capability to seamlessly add computer generated graphics(bullet lists, Clip art, Titles etc) and animations to the same video footage.…
Ron, I have a chance of a seemingly good educational deal on a Mac Centris 650 8meg RAM with a 230 HD and internal CD-ROM. Also with Video Spigot installed plus Adobe Premiere and some other software tools. Cost less monitor and keyboard is UK#2300 ($3450). As you have some…
