Hi Lydell, How are things with the AccesPC extension. Is everything working ok ?? I've found the international info about Insignia design, so thats no worry anymore 😉 Just wanna know if its actually working OK. Danny.
I mostly transfer JPEG or TARGA file formats. I'm not in a rush about this utility, so take your time. Will you let me know how it's going with AccesPC ?? If it work's well I would appreciate an international phone number or fax number. Thanks. Danny.
I also used MacSee to transfer files from my PC to Mac and it always gives me problems. I never succeed in mounting a SyQuest on a mac which I formatted in Macsee. So, first a format on the mac and then MacSee will recognize the Mac Syquest. When transferring…

A friend of mine (not yet on AMMEDIA) want's to run 3D Studio with a Speedstar PRO SE 1MB. The Vibrant controllers however won't recognize his card with the Speedtar Pro configuration (not SE). It did succeed with the VESA (not VIBRANT) configuration but all screens are in 256 color…
Stealth 32 drivers
Message #179465
Mostly when I'm working in 3D Studio I set my resolution at 800×600 in a 256 color display. But now, more and more IPAS routines require 24 bit display's. I own a Diamond Stealth 32 PCI video card and I know it is capable of displaying 24 bit in a…

I subscribed to Planet Studio directly and I didn't know anything about a CD-Rom. Is it still possible to receive this ? Danny Tollenaers Lanaken, BELGIUM
