> How do I tell what kind of chip it is? < Jack, you'll have to take your 3000 apart, down to where you can see the motherboard. If you've never done it before, it's an experience. 🙂 Anyway, find the SCSI chip, if it's the proto chip, it should…

> I use Personal Paint for my pixel painting these days.. < Steve, care to give a more in depth review of Personal Paint? I would be interested in something that works with a Picasso II, and I think Asha would too. Jim
> Today I ordered the Amiga ZIP software that Hisoft are shipping with all the "Amiga ready" ZIP drives they sell, < Steve, let me know what software comes with the Amiga ZIP package. I never heard that anyone had Amiga specific Zip drive software out yet. Jim
> No the problem I have is really bad, everything is very distorted when I try to run Dpaint through my Picasso onto my SVGA monitor. < Teig, the problem is with the SVGA monitor. It will not sync down to the 15Mhz that the Amiga uses for it's standard…

> I am having trouble using my new Picasso board with some software, in particular Dpaint and Brilliance. I have RTFM and still cant get it to work.< It would be helpful if you would list your system, when asking for help. I'm assuming you're running ChangeScreen in your WBStartup…
< I just checked mine, both with LHAdir (which isn't supposed to unpack it only show you what's in there and let you read the readme's or whatever) and actually unpacking it. Worked fine here… < Asha, how come I thought you'd say that! 🙂 I thought that LHAdir would…
> I don't have the exact names for them, but they will be in either Library 4 or Library 5 of AmigaUser. I believe AMosaic requires MUI, and you'll find that in AmigaTech. < Betty, thanks, I'll get a catalog of those areas, and search for them. > On your…

> You might want to download IINST151.LHA from the AmigaUser < Asha, speaking of which, I downloaded it and tried to unpack it. When I did, it crashed my 3000! The second time I tried using the LHAdir(?) in Opus 5.12. It would show the files/directories in there, but wouldn't…
>Put it in your devs: drawer, and access it through a MOUNT statement in User-Startup. < Betty, I was just looking at my devs: drawer. There is a DosDrivers drawer in it that has all the drivers/mountlists for things like my CDROM and PC0:, CrossDos floppy driver. If I attach…
>This may be true for some of the term programs – but not for all. < Ok, Betty… I'm only familiar with Terminus, and a little with Term 4.X. I think both of them you can configure where you want downloads to go. Guess that's not enough knowledge to base…

All that…
#Using Mountlists
Message #215328
I've been following the thread about mountlists for the Zip drives, so that the Amiga/CrossDOS can read the IBM formatted disks. I have 3 mountlists for it now. Since I've never had to do a mountlist before, how do I go about using them on a 3000 3.1 OS Amiga?…
I've never had that problem, but doesn't the HD toolbox that comes with OS 2.0 -> do that? I thought there was an option to map bad sectors… Jim
Andrew, glad to hear it did work. I have saved your mountlist entry too. Maybe next time I get some zip disks, I can give it a try. Jim
