Just checking, Jim. Pretty exciting that it will read really poor writing. -Sean
I thought that I'd heard or read that the Newton doesn't actually learn your personal hand writing, but gets better and better at matching your handwriting to one of the 54 samples in the ROM. I think I'd be out of luck if that were the case. My hand writing…
Hello Dale, I think it's just new ROMS. I also think that they're only going to be compatable with modems that were made after April (bummer) which leaves me out in the cold. I'm not sure about the cost either. Your ZyXEL sounds like it's a good deal. I guess…
I think you're right about that. Oh well… -Sean
I guess I should have been more clear. What I meant was that since the Supra has been released for the Mac with voice that the hardware within the Mac Supra would be the same as that within the Amiga Supra and we are just waiting for the software support.…
I wonder if we're not just waiting on software to support voice, Ron. It seems to me (although I am anything but an expert) that the hardware in the modems would be pretty much the same for all machines. Is this not the case? I'm looking forward to voice support…
backtalk
Message #37269
Hello Colin, Check in the AmigaVendor forum for a program called AutoPilot. The filename is AP.LHA. It will take care of all your forum needs including downloading, and reading and writing messages. For your initial download problems try using the CIS B+ or Quick B protocols. If your Term program…
Hello Brian, I sold my 1000 with much more than what you've included for $500 around two years ago and I actually felt guilty about it. -Sean

Message #116156
Same thing happened to me, Ed. I think that a lot of blank space got appended to that message. -Sean
Glad to be of some service, but like I said I really wish I had taken notes. -Sean
Thanks for filling in some holes, Karl. It's amazing the things that I forget. I wish I had seen some CISers there, bummer. I looked for people with scotch tape on the forehead or the dollar bill bow ties, none of the above. Maybe nobody recognized me because I was…
Thanks, Bill. -Sean
I wish I would have gotten your message before I left today to go to WOCA, Erik. This was the only day I was going to go. I *really* wish I had brought some notetaking utensils! The bits of news that stuck (and they're going to be biased to my…
Hello Erik, Not knowing much about speakers, I just assumed that the magnets in them were powered by the non-existant batteries. That's what I get for thinking I know something (I wonder how many other 'facts' like that are stuck in my head?)! Holy Cow! I just picked up that…
Bill, As far as I know the monitor hasn't been exposed to any large magnetic fields. It might be my imagination, but the spot seems to be shrinking. I wish I had recorded it's initial size. It removed some of my stress to know that the degauss circuitry isn't nessasarily…
More tips! Thanks, Erik, keep 'em coming. I recently moved the monitor from England to CA and it looked fine for a couple of days. The other day though, we were doing some rearranging of furniture and it might have happened after we moved things around. It was moved gently…
You could buy the 2.x roms. -Sean
Bill, Thanks for the comprehensive response. For some reason the spot looks smaller today, could be my imagination. I don't have external degauss equipment. I'll try to find my owners manual and give Seiko a call to see what they've got to say about the possibility of the degauss circuitry…
Thanks for the reply, Erik. I left the monitor off overnight and turned it on again this morning and it still had the spot, bummer! I wonder if they ever have the degauss circuitry connected to a counter on the on/off switch? I wish I had my manual handy. Does…
#Brown spot on monitor:^(
Message #113262
Hello, I've got an anoying problem, I just noticed a 'brown spot' in the lower left hand corner of my Seiko 1440 monitor. I was hoping there was some kind of deguassing circuitry built in and would do away with it when I turned it on this morning, no go.…
ATalk III (which I don't use) and a fax program called GPFax which I use quite often and IMHO is pretty nice. -Sean
Adil, No problem. I think the 50/60 Hz not making a difference has more to do with the power supply though. -Sean
Rich, Typing 'avail' at any CLI prompt will tell you how much chip and fast ram you have. All your displays and sound use chip ram everything else can use either. So if you find yourself running out of chip ram you'll start having problems opening new windows and such.…
Tom, I'm using a Supra V.32bis. Can't say anything about it's popularity (don't know), it is quite functional though. -Sean
Douglas, Did you use the icon and script (which used the included Lhx to do the decompression) to decompress the files? I tried that and for some reason it was having problems extracting all the files from the archive. I skipped that step and decompressed it with my copy of…
Use What In Europe?
Message #112313
Andy, I just moved back from the UK and did fine there with my American bought Amiga and peripherals. The one thing that you will need that I don't think will be easy to find is the adapter for the incompatable connectors of the modem and the wall. I have…
Adil, I used my American bought (60Hz, 110VAC) Amiga in the UK (50Hz, 220VAC) by using a simple step-up transformer. The difference in frequency didn't seem to change things. Since the mains are 220 I would assume you'd be able to just plug n' chug. -Sean -Sean
I knew it was something like that. -Sean
I thought government was Big Business. -Sean
Over where? Everything keeps shifting…I'm getting dizzy… -Sean
You guys are all in my box (A2000), are you really there are just an elaborate plot by the government? Paranoid, Sean -Sean
Mike, You might try looking at the used market if your budget is tight. I just picked up an A2630 for $200. That's only a couple more bucks than the Turbo28. -Sean
Brian, I have CPU in my c directory. It's weird how things just pop up and I have no idea where they came from. Actually, I think it came on the 2.1 ADos disks. I don't have any docs on it that I'm aware of though…hold on a sec, yes,…
#Hard disk cache program
Message #107120
Hello Michael, I just d/led the CacheX program and according to the docs it's 3.0 specific and requires an '020 or better processor. I thought with the recent discussion about how the files were to be labeled that this file should probably be tagged as OS 3.0 specific. -Sean
Thanks for the info, Don. -Sean
Hello Don,
Jack, I was starting to put two and two together. Thanks for the confirmation. -Sean
Hello Jack, Maybe the uploader should change the description. I was just passing it on as described. BTW, when's the latest and greatest JRComm going to be released? Looking forward to it. -Sean
Vern, It's in the libs here as XPRBIM.LHA. -Sean
Steve, I doubt I would use it much but, if you put it in AP then you wouldn't have to tell all the people that want it that, 'No, it doesn't support that feature." I think people see more features and regardless of whether or not they use it, it…
I believe grain alcohol is ethonol while the rubbing variety is isopropanol. -Sean
Glad to know I'm not alone, Larry. -Sean
Thanks, Randy. I think I'll bring your post along with me too and see if they recognize any of the tools you've mentioned. My luck they'll be hidden away in some drawer (or what ever Mac folks call directories) that they've never looked in before. Thanks again, it did make…
Chris, Thank you very much for your example. I think I'll print it out and take it with me. -Sean
Mike, Thought it might do. -Sean
Thanks Randy, I've come to the conclusion that nearly every print shop in Banbury doesn't have a clue. I didn't go back to the folks that said they didn't have a PC. I did go to a place that at first said their PC drive wouldn't read my floppy. I…
Mike, Dice is a C compiler that is public domain and is available here for downloading. It doesn't include all the Amiga include files though. I think registration is $50 and gets the complete setup. -Sean
Hello Rich, There's a program available here on CIS that's called SnoopDos. What it does is tell you everytime a program tried to do something with a file. It also tells you where the file is that the program is trying to access and what the file is called. If…
Randy, Are you guys over on AmigaVend? I probably should have asked there, huh? Thanks for the help. I took my disk over there today and when I got there they said they only had a Mac (I had the file on a disk pc formatted). I wish they told…
Did it help at all? Maybe I should pull my docs out. -Sean
