A-2000/no Flicker
Message #135316
I have an A2000 for sale. I would like to sell it whole, but I will consider selling in parts. A2000 w/2.1 ECS Denise -$325 SupraRam card 2mb $110 Flicker Free Video 2 $200 Packard Bell 2400 modem $40 Nec Multisync 2a $200 (not a 15hz monitor) ****SPECIAL DEAL***** If…
PMFJIB, Is the EVO-9650 the VTR with the single frame controller built in? Thanks
If you have the super Denise, and WB 2.1, you have productivity mode. That will give you 640×480, max 4 colors. You will still need a 15khz monitor for every other mode. To be honest, get ICD's Flicker Free video 2. It installs under your denise, leaving you video slot…
#4000 Hard drive
Message #126012
I have an odd problem with my A4000's harddrive. Sometimes when I turn the power on the harddrive doesn't respond. It does not even spin. After about 5 minutes of staring at the "please insert Workbench" screen I hear the harddrive come to life. If I warm reboot everything works…
Excellent! This is what these threads are for, meaningful discussion and contribution. Thanks to all
I have never once denied that 8n1 with high bit stripped is a viable alternative. One thing you must consider, how many programs offer this feature? I speak with 70+ members a day, and I can tell you…not many programs have this option. My original intention was to offer my…
I have re-read my earlier message. I can see where my point wasn't well made. What I was trying to save a fellow Amigan the hassle of logging in without having garbage at the login prompts. I have many term programs, but I have settled on two for CIS use.…
ICD's Flicker free video is a wonderful product. It fits under the denise chip, and does not use the video slot.
I'll send you the CompuServe "standard response" to your question via e-mail. It is a little cumbersome, but complete. If anyone else is interested let me know. Eric
8n1 is required for transfers, as stated in my first sentance. The CIS host is set for 7e1. The reason logging on makes the messages legible is the host reads your Permanent Settings in GO TERMINAL. A nice trick to get around the garbage at login is to put a…
Adding the VGA only driver works for most monitors. My VGA that I use with FFVII will not. There is a program called MONED.lha online. This will modify your double.xxx drivers and allow it to sync. Try not to make to many, or to abrupt changes! I bumped my driver…
To be honest the Adspeed is a waste of money. I had a friend by one at the giveaway price of $75 about a year ago. The increase in speed you get is very, very slight. You will still need to upgrade to an 030 or faster eventually and throw…
If your intention is to use it through with CIS Terminus works fine. You can also change you terminal type to match your software by GO TERMINAL online. If you are talking about a Message Handling Service you may want to GO MHS online. The sysops there give good advice.
At present we can only send and receive e-mail to and from Internet. Your Internet "address" is 74030.231.@compuserve.com but it is important to note that the period is used and NOT the comma. To send e-mail the syntax is >INTERNET:jdoe@osu.edu . The > symbol is recommended if you are using…
7-e-1 is essential for text communications with CIS, BUT transfers (downloads/uploads) must occur at 8-n-1. The advice you were given is correct. If you continue to log on, the host will read your terminal preferences (GO TERMINAL) and switch you to 7-e-1. Once a transfer is started your software settings…

If it can be used with either an A-4000 or an A-2000 I'll start the bidding at $75
#Accelerators
Message #123110
Does anyone have, or know someone who has an '030 accelerator for the A2000? I would also be interested in a modestly priced '040. I am also in the market for a bridgeboard. If you have one or both please let me know. Thanks. Eric
The old versions of the operating system used to come with a program called DISKDOCTOR. It always worked faithfully for me, but some of my Amiga buddies tell me it is a piece of junk. The have recommended Quarterback tools. I do not own QB tools so I do not…
If you go to you cli shell and type avail it will give you systems memory. It will tell you how much is in use, available, largest block etc. Personally, I think it is because you have both 16 and 32 bit memory that is causing the problem. I cannot…
A program called viewtek (shareware) will convert anim8 and anim5's into anim7. As far as creating anims…Art department pro comes with a program called FRED (frame editor) it will allow you to turn separate picture files into anim format. Axiom software makes a program called Anim Workshop which will do…
Yes, I forget the particular name, but if you go to the Amiga file finder and search by the keywords wav, sound and/or convert it will show you the relevant files. I downloaded an IFF to Wav converter. It works like a charm. I use the converted wavs on my…
