Hey Dale I think we are back to the single bullet theory again. This whole thing is a GOVT plot. In fact Elvis and JFK are both alive and well. They were employed buy C= under a secret agreement whose goal was to develop the woulds most useful computer and…
Deep Ed, Yes I agree, what is hard to work out is how to get the "professional" image into play 🙂 Is it needed ? Does anyone really care ? -> Waiting for my SAMSUNG 5000 to Arrive :: How's my DRIVING – 100036,174 – ON AUTOPILOT :: :: WES…
It seems to me that if _ rumor company _ could get a product to market now they would probably sell more machines in a week than Commodore did last year. Way does it take Commodore collapsing for all the AMIGA supports to decide that now they need a new…
My vote is for an AMIGA 4321 or maybe a AMIGA 1234. :: How's my DRIVING – 100036,174 – ON AUTOPILOT :: :: WES TATTERS, BRIZ 31, AUSTRALIA ::
No – the correct work is redevelop. Differences in SDK's 32 bit – 16 bit, different operating systems different calls, different lowel level system management, different file systems. GUI, DOS chars, TTY & Terminal emulation. If it was just a recompile – why has it taken MSDOS 18 months to…
Great < not > !!! TOASTER $2500, PAL-NTSC $6570 how many imputs. AMIGA $4000 TBC ???? Gee. VIDEO MACHINE & DVISION look better and better. What a joke – converting PAL to NTSC and back !! Just because of NEWTEK's incompetance !! :: How's my DRIVING – 100036,174 – ON…
In the tag line at the bottom – Unless its an assumed name 🙂 :: How's my DRIVING – 100036,174 – ON AUTOPILOT :: :: WES TATTERS, BRIZ 31, AUSTRALIA ::
But will they every release a PAL toaster. There is a whole now market waiting for it. If there are 7,000,000 Amiga's world wide how many are NTSC. My guess says that over have are PAL maybe as high as 80%. Anyone care to comment ?? :: How's my DRIVING…
Why not add a daughter board as well -> PAULA DENISE AGNUS RAMSY TOM DICK and HARRY and maybe a CPU 68040 would be nice. HANG ON -> 4000 + BRIDGEBOARD oh damm. :: How's my DRIVING – 100036,174 – ON AUTOPILOT :: :: WES TATTERS, BRIZ 31, AUSTRALIA ::
$1 million dollars to port 1-2-3 to the AMIGA. > The first question I am asked about amigas is can I use Word / Wordperfect. Second question can it to spreadsheets meaning 1-2-3. WP we can kind of get around – Wordsworth 3.0 may fix that problem for good or…
What you will really miss is true multitasking. My 486DX66 can still go to sleep when doing a large background print. Yet my A500 just keeps on chugging along. Sure it slows down some but at least each task gets enought time to run. :: How's my DRIVING – 100036,174…
Lets look at some realities. 1. There is no longer only two platforms for development. PC – Dos will not run windows apps -> port PC – Windows will run most dos apps but not with GUI -> port PC – NT see Windows and not all in 32 bit…
This is also a good reason for software developers to at least be interested in having a free port of their software. As it stands now all Mac developers are going to be forced to redevelop for the Power PC to remain competative. Yes Power PC's will run existing mac…
Lets see Purchase 1 share at $50 on E'Trade with a minimum fee of $35. Each user would have to spend $85 per share. – Woops 🙂 :: How's my DRIVING – 100036,174 – ON AUTOPILOT :: :: WES TATTERS, BRIZ 31, AUSTRALIA ::
God I'm glad Quicken never made it to the AMIGA – my IBM accounting software is Safe 🙂 Maybe I'll finished the FOXPRO / DBASE port – a new AMIGA might be enough incentive. FOXPRO under windows is about as fast a 8086. :: How's my DRIVING – 100036,174 -…

Hi John, Hypothetical Survey only !! 😕 :: How's my DRIVING – 100036,174 – ON AUTOPILOT :: :: WES TATTERS, BRIZ 31, AUSTRALIA ::
Lets start a ballot on line. Here are the issues – please vote only once – 100036,174 1. I want the Amiga to have a future. 2. I intent to by future Amiga products as they become available. Developer Section 3. As a developer I would be interested in licencing…
That's it the CIA has shares in IBM and this is all a giant plot. No AMIGA owners should drive near any bridges – what that chapaquidic or chaperon or commodore 🙂 –> Television without lights is Bad Radio 🙂 –> WES TATTERS, BRIZ 31, AUSTRALIA —
Jim, Australia was probably the first C= to go to the wall !! We have been living without support and machines for some four months. I am sure that many Australian users will support your goals. I am not sure what I can do to help down here away from…

The last I heard they were walking about doing some sloppy standards conversion. Ie not building a real PAL toaster be just doing some conversions. If this is true knowing the problems inherrent in the PAL -> NTSC process I guess I'll have to wait for OPAL Vision. Hmmm no…
Tell me more about replacement CPU cards on 4000. I have heard a little about the 4000's memory problems : -) whats the scoop ? –> Television without lights is Bad Radio 🙂 –> WES TATTERS, BRIZ 31, AUSTRALIA —
Not in Australia. Newtek dont work here 🙂 PS How about a PAL toaster. –> Television without lights is Bad Radio 🙂 –> WES TATTERS, BRIZ 31, AUSTRALIA —

4000 / 40
Message #40440
I am looking at purchasing a 4000/40 in the near future but have become concerned by an increasing number of comments about performance problems especially with read to memory. Can anyone give me some insight into this area. Secondly how does a 1200 with a 50mhz 68030 and 68882 compare…

1. I'm sure they'll do it for you in their spare time – yawn. It's not like the're busy or anything. 2. The advantage of storing a anim is the potential savings in disk space. On average a single uncompressed 24bit image will use up about 700k of disk space.…
Australia Upbeat!
Message #135857
Your comments on the C= situation in the PAL world are about right. Our only hope is OPAL Vision – which seems to have suffered more movements in release dates that the Video Toaster 🙂 –> Television is the fishbowl of Life.
Down here in Australia we dont have the Video Toaster. Probable the single reason for Babylon 5 – Seaquest and all the rest. That is the reason why every now and then someone will do the following. NEWTEK how about a PAL toaster – even Video Machine can do PAL…
Because the existance of these – yes I agree – great products is being brough to the attention of the people who spend the dollars. When ever I mention the Amiga, I seem to be in a position of having to defend its existance. Usually it is – Oh yes…
A transcoder – not a prospect I think worthy of NEWTEK or the TOASTER. There are enormous problems converting PAL to NTSC and back to PAL the least of which revolve around the number of frames per second. NTSC uses 30 and PAL only 25. Even the best translators still…
Hi Dallas, BRIZ 31 is the Brisbane Licence holder for the Sixth High powered television licence. We are currently in the final development stage of the project with the implementation phase already commenced.

Just to cause some problems. NEWTEK can we please have a PAL version 🙂 They can even make IBM PC work in PAL. AHHHH that feels better. –> Television is the fishbowl of Life.
I would have to question your evaluation of – Very professional operation – I will agree that they reasonable but . . . This is the same company that firstly sold – Scala 2.2 to a Workbench 1.3 user. Then exchanged that for a older Scala 2.0 version – which…
I'm not surprised that commodore Australia is in trouble they seem to have a great deal of problems understanding that they need people to sell their computer systems. In Brisbane – Australia a city with a population of 1,300,000 people there is only one recognised dealer that I am aware…
Wait for me !!! There aren't many of us – maybe we should shout louder. BRISBANE – AUSTRALIA – I think we're part of the world 🙂 –> Television is the fishbowl of Life.
