Mike, There is a new joypad available for the CD32: It is called Competition Pro Super CD 32 and costs around DM 40 ($ 30). It is far more better than the original one! Jurgen (via Amiga AutoPilot from Germany)
John, Sorry, I do not have any contact with the developers of the Golden Gate, but I can give you the German address: vortex Falterstr. 51-53 74223 Flein Germany Tel: 07131-59720, Fax: 07131-597210 Besides, do you know about the Golden Gate with 50 MHz 486SLC2? Juergen
CD32 sound qualities!
Message #150266
For your information: The German magazine "stereoplay", a special HIFI magazine tested the CD32 sound qualties and gave it the predicate "Absolute Spitzenklasse 3". You can find in this class CD players like "B 226 S" from Revox (2200 DM, 1350$ or 830 L) or Braun CD players (1600 DM…
C32 price dropped!
Message #150265
The list price for CD32 recently dropped to 499 DM. That is around 300$ or 190 L! Included are two CD with four games: Diggers, Oscar, Wing Commander and Dangerous Streets + some demos. Because this is a list price, you can get it for less then the price mentioned…
Marion, I think Marion is talking about the German programm "ATCopy". It is only usable with the Commodore Bridgeboards (AREAD/AWRITE). You can however transfere files between the too computers, but in my opinion, it is a pain with the Golden Gate (I own one). The fastest way is to copy…
Hello Charles, here is the German address: Commodore Buromaschinen GmbH (hope, the Umlauts are ok?!) Lyoner Strase 38 60528 Frankfurt am Main Postfach 710251 (
installing 2.1
Message #145175
Hello Bob, I installed 2.1 on my 2000 with 2.04 ROM without problem. I bought the 2.1 Enhancer Kit around two weeks ago. It costs 75 DM (=45$). The only disadvantage for you, I think, are the German manuals (AREXX + 2.1 manuals. So, if you want the address of…
Richard, I hope for all of us, you are right. Juergen (via Amiga AutoPilot from Germany)
Richard, I am interested too (Interplay Authoring System). FAX: 06721/9102-20 Juergen
Paul, We have Interbase from Borland for SCO-UNIX! Juergen (via Amiga AutoPilot from Germany)
Hello Phil, Why do you need the specs? If it is a SCSI drive, it should know it's specs for itself! Quantum LPS 240 AT: Log. Cylinders: 723 Log. Heads: 13 Log. Sectors/Track: 51 Write Pre-comp.: 0 Landing Zone: 723 Sectors per drive: 479,349 Juergen (via Autopilot from Germany)
Derrick, Thanks a lot! Perhaps I should send you bank notes, to avoid the fees I or you have to pay to draw the cheque! Give me your address and you will have the money in around one week. Juergen
Laurie, It is Michael Douglas! Juergen (via AutoPilot from Germany)
#CD32 and CD+G
Message #133758
Hello Dodger, Is it OK if I send you a eurocheque (5 UK pounds?))? So, here is my address: Juergen Braun Koblenzer Str. 2 65556 Limburg Germany Juergen
Hi Dodger, If you can get your hands on a complete list (CD+G), I'm interested. Besides, what will it cost to send me a copy of the AUI mag you mentioned in a previous message? Juergen
Hi Dogder, From the German magazine "Amiga Plus" I pulled the following list: Alphaville: The Breathtaking Blue Lou Reed: New York Anita Baker: Rapture 10.000 Maniacs: Blind Man's Zoo Fleetwood Mac: Behind the Mask Little Feat: Hoy Hoy Juergen (again from Germany and again via Amiga AutoPilot)
Hello Hans, No problem. AutoPilot is a CompuServe management program as CIM is, but it is able to do much more than CIM. You can download a test version of AutoPilot from the AmigaTech library. If you need more info, let me know. Juergen (via Amiga AutoPilot from Germany)
Richard, Thanks for the fax. Because I use AutoPilot I do not really know what happend. As I know, you can type a long letter and press SEND, but the letter is formated as the reader has set his margins. So, if you typed the list without pressing CR every…
Hi Richard, I am interested in this list too. Business fax number: 06721 9102-20 Juergen Becker & Poettgen Software GmbH, Germany
Hi Dodger, Today I posted the Demo II list — get it. The One, page 16, "Commodore Bore". I read that you only have a CD32. So, I suggested that the only way you use CompuServe is at work. I am working for a software company, what do you do?…
Mark, These might be the reasons. Thanks for your reply. Juergen
CD32 Demo2 Coll. list
Message #131222
*** Demo II – List of CD32 compatible demos *** Because not all demos on the CD >>Demo II, Amiga Public Domain Collection, from Almathera
Hi Dodger, This is indeed a lot of money. I hope it will get cheaper soon. As I read in the UK mag "The One" Commodore has dropped their plans for a CD-ROM drive for the A1200. This sounds unbelievable for me! GTI is an authorized Commodore dealer. They sell…
Hi GVP, I am very interested too! Juergen (via AutoPilot… from Germany)
#CD32 list (Demo 2)
Message #130342
Hi Dodger, The list (Demo 2) is almost completed. I will post it when I finished it. Besides, I can give you the address and telephon number of GTI (Grenville Trading International GmbH). Juergen
#McDonalds using CD32?
Message #129139
Hello! I read in the German mag "Amiga Plus" that McDonalds created an infosystem with the CD32 to train their staff members (CBT). I am working for a company who is one of the three leading companies in Germany in CBT, so I am interested in that. Are there any…
Hello Dodger, I tried it. The problem is, that this sound normally is not available in the english language as the "th" is not in the german language. However, thank you for your info. The prices seem to be slightly more expensive than in Germany. Lab. of Time (53 DM…
Fred, Apart of your own routines? Juergen
Hallo Robert, Pinball Fantasies ist wohl eines der besten Programme, besonders zu empfehlen, wenn mehrere Mitspieler vorhanden sind (bis zu acht). Andere Programme kann ich zwecks Masse nicht beurteilen. Labyrith of Time oder Liberation scheinen nicht schlecht zu sein. Gruss, Juergen (via AutoPilot… von Limburg/Lahn) PS: CD 32 laueft recht…
Hello Dodger, Now I present you language lesson two: A part of the german dictionary: [y] almost like the French "u" as in "sur". It may be acquired by saying [i] (as in "meet") through fairly closely rounded lips: e. g. Gl ue ck [glyck] = luck. Easy, isn't it?…
Dodger, the spelling (pronunciation ?) is not different, if you are German. The second letter (again these overloaded words?!) of my name is a german "Umlaut" (ue is an alternative writing, if the system does not provide international characters). Juergen is spelled: J – as the start of university, ue…
Derrick (Dodger), Do you have Liberation? How do you rate it? I heard that Liberation uses the entire static RAM of the CD 32. Is that true? Is Liberation a multilanguage game (german?) as Diggers is? Juergen
Dominick, you can use "Diggers" with a mouse connected to the second port. There are several games on the "Demo Collection II CD" which are mouse and/or joystick compatible. Juergen (via AP … from Germany)

CD32 Saving High Scores
Message #127705
Ernie, Frederic is right. You must leave the current table to save the high score into to static RAM. You can do that with the key combination yellow-green. The documention is on disk (sorry, on CD)! I bought the game separately (in Germany) and can access the instructions in the…
Frederic, this sounds expensive. In Germany we pay less than 600 DM, that is around $330! Juergen
is this short for Robert? Anyway, I just talked with one of the Cluster programmers. He gave me the permission to upload the demo version. Before I can upload it, I have to wait for the english language report (the present demo comes with german docs). So, as soon as…
greetings from Thomas Pfrengle. Juergen Braun (via Autopilot… from Germany)
Gary is right, the EGS stuff is written entirely in Cluster! Perhaps GVP will distribute Cluster in the states if there are enough interested persons. Some interesting details I have forgotten to say: – Cluster is one of the first development systems with an integrated Tetris! – The integrated editor…
Here we go: First, I do not work for the company DTM or GVP, nor I get any money from them. – Cluster is a programming language like Modula 2. It is as readable as Pascal and Modula 2. – The syntax is basically Modula 2. You can switch (if…
#CLUSTER? CLUSTER!
Message #120931
the german company DTM (the german distributor of GVP) has released the new Amiga Software Development System CLUSTER 2.0. It is basically an integrated development system like Visual C++ or Borland Turbo Pascal. If anyone is interested in this I can get more information. Juergen Braun (via Autopilot… from Germany)
Rob, thanks for the info. I think the "Chunky mode" is what they here call "32-Bit-Grafikbeschleuniger" (32 bit graphic accelerator). How much does it cost in the UK? Juergen
Betty, thanks for your help. Juergen
Thomas, "Quelle" is a general purpose mail order company. So you can order clothes, toys, and computer articles. The catalog is around 1300 pages thick. Besides, do you know how can I change my first name in CompuServe? I accidently typed in the german "Umlaut" u (it's an u with…
#Amiga CD 32!
Message #107105
Hello, some interesting news (perhaps?): In the german mail order catalog "Quelle", page 1210, they offer a new Amiga CD game console. It is called "Commodore Amiga CD 32". It looks like an ordinary game console with joypad. The description tells that it has an 68 EC 020 processor and…

is it possible to boot an A2630 in 68000'er mode? How can I achieve it? I am working with OS 2.0.
#TeX frontend WP
Message #99622
Paul, I mail you a sample LaTeX file. It is a macro package which is used with TeX and simplifies the work. Look at the file with the extension .tex. It is the source file. As you will see it contains several control sequences. This file must be compiled with…
Dave, the vortex 486 boards have fans! Besides, vortex dropped the price for the 486 bridgeboard to 1198 DM, thats around 750 $. Juergen (via Autopilot… from Germany)
if you are interested I can mail you a short description about TeX and LaTeX (you should be able to read german), otherwise I will search for an english description.
Dave, could you give me some more information about your BB. Here in Germany we only know the Commo A2386SX with 20MHz (about 480 $) and Vortex Golden Gate 386 with 25 MHz (about 900 $). Juergen (… via AutoPilot) PS. Happy Easter!
