By the way I hope you've done something with that interface in the new version of Adpro !!!!! The current one looks so tacky ! :^) Tim Ying Tong Ying Tong Ying Tong Tiddle I Po ….. On AutoPilot Over Hong Kong
#CD32 Stuff
Message #129223
The bit below is part of a post I did on the Amiga Echo, but I thought you'd like this bit :^) The one thing that I found most interesting was the bit about Commodore's advertising in the UK (YES they are doing it)! One of the things they have…
I think you will be suprised this time round :^) With the Picasso there is a wide range of Drivers, there is a generic one, which requires 1.28megs of extra ram this is quite a slow driver, but this one alows you to use 256,thousands,millions mode – although it's only…
Sorry, but I thought I had said I use a 3000T stock 25 Mhz with ECS chipset. I was able to get video speeds which were somewhat faster than Emplant's (from nearly a year ago, so not current) by using a standard 640 x 400 screen and setting the refresh…
>boards are pretty much the same. I was wrong about the video. The >Emplant rating was somewhat less than Amax IV's, but otherwise the The only thing missing from this though, is you haven't actually told us what sort of Video you are using ! Are you using the AGA…
Has MicroCosm been released yet ? I'm on a waiting list with 17bit… but this is cheaper than giving them a call to find out ;^) Tim Ying Tong Ying Tong Ying Tong Tiddle I Po….. On Autopilot Over Hong Kong
>Does this mean we aint getting any keyboard?. >Or can you use a PC keyboard with the same port?. You can actually buy a Keyboard and a Floppy drive as seperates for the CD32 (other than buying as the whole expansion module). Tim Ying Tong Ying Tong Ying Tong Tiddle…
Of course 😉 …. I enjoy thrashing it out ;^)
Have a look in a UK magazine, Calculus carry them and so do INDI direct Mail (I mail ordered my CD32 from these people). Or contact Microbotics in the US. Tim Ying Tong Ying Tong Ying Tong Tiddle I Po….. On Autopilot Over Hong Kong
>Geeez guys. >I'm sorry. I forgot I am talking to "Amiga Owners" here. Oh I'm so glad you realize that. But hang on a minute are you trying to suggest that because I'm an Amiga User that I only know and Love Amiga's? I quite often use Mac's (other than…
There is already an expansion port out for it, it's made by Microbotics in the US ! (of all places) and sells in the UK for 150 pounds. it's called the SX1. Tim Ying Tong Ying Tong Ying Tong Tiddle I Po….. On Autopilot Over Hong Kong
#EMPLANT – YES !!!!

>I say 'chuck the Emplant' because I'm so fed up with their promises which >take forever to pan out. Oh come on Erik, there is nothing wrong with the Emplant, I'm using it with NO problems at all, it works exactly as advertised, what more do you want ? A…
ZVM can work all the way up to the latest GPFax version 2.342. I presume you have version 1.25 of ZVM ? Tim Ying Tong Ying Tong Ying Tong Tiddle I Po….. On Autopilot Over Hong Kong
I thought the ports on the CD32 were supposed to be auto sensing, and that it didn't matter which port a mouse was plugged in to ? (well this is what I remember reading sometime back). Tim Ying Tong Ying Tong Ying Tong Tiddle I Po….. On Autopilot Over Hong…
I got mine out here in Hong Kong Bill, Your best bet is to contact Jim Drew in the Amiga Vendor section, he has a list of possible sorces available in the U.S. Tim Ying Tong Ying Tong Ying Tong Tiddle I Po….. On Autopilot Over Hong Kong
Ok the Roms you have to use are the 256K Mac II/x/cx V1.3 Roms. I use my Emplant with the Picasso II card, and to say this thing is fast in the 256 colour mode would be an understatement !!! (mind you it's a bit slower in the thousands/millions mode).…
And knowing my luck my Credit card will be over the limit (after the Christmas splurge) and I won't be able to get it :^( Still you could always give the users on here free copies ;^) Tim Ying Tong Ying Tong Ying Tong Tiddle I Po….. On Autopilot Over…

#HELP! Mouse dead!
Message #127691
I had exactly the same problem as you when I had my 2000, and I used the Keys to move the pointer around for about four months !!! (talk about pulling my hair out). Anyway there is only two possible causes – 1) One of the CIA's is up the…
Thanks for the info Paul, I'll pop into the local dealer here and see if I can get hold of the software. Tim Ying Tong Ying Tong Ying Tong Tiddle I Po….. On Autopilot Over Hong Kong
#CD ROM & Emplant
Message #126226
Is anyone out there using a CD ROM with their Emplant ? I have my Texel hooked up to the external SCSI port on the Emplant, and am wondering what sort of drivers I am going to need to use it. Tim Ying Tong Ying Tong Ying Tong Tiddle I…
Version 3.4 is there now ! I've already DL it and got it installed…. it sure does make a difference to the memory problems I was having. Tim Ying Tong Ying Tong Ying Tong Tiddle I Po….. On Autopilot Over Hong Kong
Are you sure that the drive isn't just slightly out of line from the slot in the case – I have a 3000T as well and have had similar problems, the drive isn't fixed too firmly and can move up and down slightly, thus when you insert a disk it…
It's certainly there – it's under the file name LHASFX.RUN upload date was 10th Dec. Have another look and let me know (it should be in AmigaUser). Tim On AutoPilot Over Hong Kong
But will it have a Binford badge on it ;^) We had the show out here in Hong Kong.. but for some strange reason the TV station pulled it off the air without warning !! :^(
OK thanks…. It's just that there will be some Voice Mail software available very soon for it :^) more details later (Oh and support for Supra Modem's will be coming soon). Tim On AutoPilot Over Hong Kong
#Linelink Modems
Message #124579
Is there anyone in here using a Linelink modem ?? (you'll find out why I'm asking later) ;^) Tim On AutoPilot Over Hong Kong
I'll do you a favour… I'll UL it today :^) archive is called LhaSFX.run and of course is self extracting ;^) Tim On AutoPilot Over Hong Kong
3DO
Message #124435
It's one thing to be going crazy over them…but were they buying it en masse. I've seen it myself, and to be honest the games available at the moment for it are crap. It's going to take something a little bit better if they honestly think they are going to…
Thanks for the insight on Image R/T. I'm going to wait to see what Amiga World has to say, but to be honest I would prefer to wait until one of the UK magazines gives it a review, as they are usually give a better review, for better or for…
Nope not yet…. mind you there is a couple of ponds between Hong Kong and the US :^) It should be here soon… Tim On AutoPilot Over Hong Kong
>What more can be said? >Well, you can say, truthfully, that you can do lots and lots of things in >Imagemaster that you cannot do at all, no how, in AdPro. :^) You could >say some other things in the same vein, too. :^) But we won't do that. I…
I noticed that you avoided recommending either ADPro or ImageMaster over the other. Is that because you feel they are on an equal level or you want to keep out of the Image Processing shouting matches that crop up occasionally? . Well I can certainly speak for Adpro, it's got…
.SEA stands for Self Extracting Archive…I've seen it on Mac files…Don't know if there is an Amiga equivalent, though I do seem to remember a program that could make files of that type. Anyone else know? Yeah there is a program called LhaSFX which can convert standard Lha files into…
Those of us who pre-ordered (and pre-paid) will be getting them early in December. (That's just Atari's way of treating their loyal customers ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ WOW that makes two I've seen so far ;^) willing to pay up front for a sight unseen machine: Make sure they get it last!) You…
Interesting comments… however these are the views of only one company. I would be a lot more worried if it was the whole industry. To put things in perspective, the Amiga doesn't have the whole market, and we know that. Some people are always going to be more comfortable on…
I've been working for my own company for a while now, I just haven't had any reason to mention it. Now that I'm getting ready to promote a product or two (for the Amiga), it seemed like time for people to start getting used to it. And so the next…
The Amiga uses Pre-emptive Multitasking… basically the same as OS/2.. thing is where the Amiga is special is that it can do it with so little overhead… try getting OS/2 to run in 512K let alone multitask ! I'll let some of the more knowledgable guys in here give you…
I think your predictions are on target. Worse I hear that the A1200 may be discontinued. Well so as to not give anyone the wrong idea, this rumour has ONLY been seen on the nets, there has been NO mention or hint of such a thing in any of the…
The main threat to the CD32 in England is that the software which the magazines were all claiming was ready and about to be released has not appeared. The computer press were prediciting about 20 titles by October, so far I have found about 6 on sale, and most of…
So ever so quietely, the Amiga professional market is waning. ANd one other note: many of the same claims being made for CD32 were made for CDTV. And what were the utlimate sales figures on CDTV? And how wonderfuylly it was marketted by the departmen that was headed by the…
Voice
Message #122325
Hi Ron, Well for voice with GPfax I have seen it mentioned that the next version will have it, but I can only presume thats for the Zyxel for the moment. I use GPfax with the Zyxel, and for Voice I use a programme called ZVM (which I UL to…
O.K. There are the doom and gloom preditions. Anyone got "silver lining" predictions to counter the above? Yeah, maybe you'll get a lobotomy ;^) If thats you're prediction then you really are depressed… me on the other hand have just come in from a night on the town… and should…
You want to get yourself Final Copy or Final Writer…. I've never had a problem sending faxes from them using the printer pop up. If anything the one thing I always had problems with is when trying to use ASCII files…they used to format all over the place. Try and…
ProControl
Message #68394
I don't know about you guys, but I just got ProControl…. and it Guru's when I click on the "About" ! I'm running on a 3000T with 20megs, 25Mhz 030, with a Picasso II & IV24 graphics card… it's also a PAL machine. Is ASDG going to make more scripts…
Well from what I read in previous reports in magazines, 3.1 will be released at the same time as the CD ROM drives for the 1200 & 4000. Thing is anyone wanting to use the drives are going to need the new ROMS, and as those drives are now actually…
Well to add to the speculation I heard a really juicy rumour from a friend here in Hong kong, who heard it from a good source in Germany, something along the lines of some dealers were getting notices that the AAA chipset was going to be released in the next…
Yeah going through several exchange rates certainly doesn't help…. whilst the HK -> US$ rate is good (it's pegged to a fixed rate) the HK -> UKP is not so good :^( To give you an example I just bought Final Writer from the US and the cost was US$112…
Lets see 269 quid in US dollars…. well converting it to Hong Kong Dollars first (since I'm in HK) that would be approx HK$3100 which would equate to about US$390…..I would take this figure with a pinch of salt though as this is taking into account two different exchange rates.…
Nice idea. Unfortunatly, although SCSI, the CD32's use a non standard interface. The other major problem is the AKIKO chip and the lack of the 3.1 ROM…. The latest Amiga Format (December issue) had a news clip stating that the drives for the 1200 & 4000 are now finished and…
As far as I know yes his BBS is still going…. I have seen it mentioned several times on the Amiga International Echo. Tim On AutoPilot Over Hong Kong
