#3.1 & Bridgeboard
Message #215190
Steve, PMFJI, I saw that you have a "Bridgeboard" and are using it with OS3.1 which I think would mean that you have upgraded the system for the bridgeboard control….????? Would you mind telling m a bit more about your set-up. Thanks Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot

#pc to amiga networking
Message #215188
Edward, The 08/95 issue of Amiga Computing had a cover dick, in which there is a programe called "PC to Amiga transfer". This set-up uses a "null modem cable" to connect the PC/Amiga via their serial ports and slaves the PC to the Amiga when used. This is so that…
Changes at CIS!!!
Message #209785
Martin, I definately agree with your last paragraph in particular…one man should not have control over all that info transfer. Hopefully, CIS will see their strength in a diversity of of computers etc that can use their service to move infomation (text, graphics and files). Rgds Laurie Carroll AKL NZ…
Changes at CIS!!!
Message #208504
Dale, A sample from my work, all the office PCs (4) are used for work only no online stuff. (there is a networked green screen system in use -airline/SITA) There are two Amigas and about 6 Pcs used at homes by people I work with. I am the only one…
#Changes at CIS!!!
Message #208503
John/Martin, "CIS" should be looking to their own strengths, for instance what Betty mentioned in one message as to how there was good behaviour here, no or very little bad language. They have obviously more than just "two markets on a desktop" (PC and Macs on desktops). There is a…
Stewart and Raul, I am pretty sure that the "Dye sublimation" quality on the Primera-Pro printer was only available when you bought an extra "kit" for the printer. I think this included a different "ribbon" for the color printing at this quality. The adds' in the magazines always had an…

John, There was some more info out last week, in which Telecom were expecting to get 300,000 plus people onto a fibre optic network. I cant recall the time range but it seemed to be this year or next. The article quoted about 1.3 million on fibre optical networks next…

John, Why do you suggest this programme??? Are you using it etc…???? Thanks PS Are they on Cis/Internet??? Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
#Scala 100MM/Midi?
Message #47565
John, A friend of mine at a multimedia company was talking (yesterday) about them using a computer to centralise the PCs/Lasers/Pyrotechnics etc…controlling them all and timing them together via midi. I was fairly sure that Scala had a programme, 100MM that could do this operation. Is this correct??? 1/ They…
#Scala/Demand TV in NZ
Message #47564
John, Did you hear of the major share purchase here in NZ of the "Sky TV' subscriber TV network, by Telecom NZ (telephone network) which in turn is owned by the telephone company in the USA that you blokes have Scala etc in use with (Bell Ameritech). It appeared that…
clip art?
Message #47563
Ken, It looks like you are using Windows as an o/s, but you have posed your request on the Amiga computer arts forum. There is clip art here but you would need to get it converted (graphics file type) to what can be displayed on your system. There was some…
Supper?, Dinner?, You mean Tea dont you?…..:) Having everything done the same way is worse than a straight jacket. The little differences are really good, adds richness to humanity. Look at how cars are soooo similar now, due I think to the big businees world car concepts. Personally, that is…
I reckon we gotta laugh sometime, it just gets too serious otherwise… Rgds Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot

144LC and Amiga
Message #155538
Alex, Thanks, since posting my origonal messages I have obtained the latest and correct version of GPFax from the dealer that I got the "LC" from and it now appears to be operating OK. Also pleased to see that they (GPFax) are wanting to open "house" in the A/Vendor Forum.…
Sean, Check out the libraries in the Amiga Arts/User Forums. If you are using Autopilot to access CIS then it will do an automated search of these Lib's using whatever search word you like. There were demos for DynaCADD and another Amiga CAD programme there. RGDS Laurie Carroll AKL NZ…
#144LC and Amiga
Message #154451
John, I have the same Fax/Modem and have discovered that I have the same problem as some-one else here with GPFax not running the Fax side at all. It wont even initalise it. The modem side runs perfectly for AP/CIS though. Does the Fax side work ok for you? Laurie…
#Vista Pro CDROM – Amiga
Message #42122
John, Thanks for using the "ISO-9660" format for the "PC" CD-ROM. I wish that more of the PC/MAC people would do the same as it makes the CD-ROM universal in its use by different platforms. Thanks Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
#Warp Engine shipping?

Rafael, Your responce you were getting "where is the modem" refer to page 30 in the manual. Make sure you have turned on the modem Before starting up the programme. Also note what they say in the third paragraph, have you done this in frustration once ?? If you are…
#Imagine Europe
Message #83609
Dorothy, Ref your copy of Imagine 3 via DHL via Amsterdam????……that may possibly be the route that they use for sending freight to the UK from the USA. You would have to contact DHL in the UK to confirm this. I work in the airfreight business and on the face…
Clint, Count me in on wanting Vista-Pro (Amiga) on a CD-Rom, especially with access to heaps of 'scapes/anims/tutorials/etc. Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Martin, I think your explanation about genlocking and the "chroma-key" was intended for someone else, it came to me. I havent got one. RGDS Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Philip, Please E-mail details regarding your book, 3D Modeling Lab, including the ISBN number. Thanks Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Mike, I have DynaCADD which will import DXF and then also export DXF objects for Imagine. I would be interested to try using it as a converter if you like. Give me a "yell" we could try a couple of smaller objects and find out what happens. Laurie Carroll AKL…
SyQuest 270
Message #143490
John, You may be correct about the specific problem. I recall the examples of it working with "dud" carts….no specific errors. Still worth a try though. Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
If IBM gets even half a chance they will KILL off Windows with OS/2 or will Microsoft zap OS/2?????? Come on….one of these two companies has to kill off the other to survive into the near future, or perhaps amalgamate and have only one OS….. RGDS Laurie Carroll AKL NZ…
Andy, No, no-one has been able to show yet that CBM world-wide has hit the skids. It is still a wait and see position (Monday 2nd), there is still a postibility that we will have a much smaller company/s and a continual target of the "Narrow-market" you mentioned. I still…
Andrew, Can you or some-one else give us a "Family-Tree" for CBM and its subsidiares (?) and other related companies. I checked with CBM NZ at 11.00 AM today (Monday) and they were still in business…..according to the Receptionist. I also disagree with your point regarding how many Amiga's may…
John, Ref the "bad blocks" on some of the SyQuest-44 carts…..as I recall one of the commercial HD backup programmes had a version of the USA Govt formatting in it that fixed this problemm. You had to do the reformat three times to clean-up the carts. Laurie Carroll AKL NZ…

Rolf, I couldnt help noticing your "AOPA-S" reference when reading your message with Autopilot. Are you accessing Compuserve via the AOPA BBS???? I would highly recommend "Autopilot" for your friend to access Compuserve, BTW. RGDS Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot

Russ, CIS is available in Australia, they can be contacted at 008-023-158 which is their toll free number. CIS-Pacific is run by the Austarlian branch of Fujitsu in Sydney. The rates are alot better than what I was paying in the past through PACNET here in New Zealand, there are…

ALL, REF Dynacadd printing to a normal Preferences printer (HP PaintJet) using the device "PLT:" from the prog "Multiplot" from the libs here. I appear to have PLT: assigned and mounted ok but cant get it to produce any output when I copy a drawing file to it. I have…
Brian, The current conversion rate from NZD-USD is 0.56 ie NZD/0.56 =USD The HD's are apparently redundant (there are 7 drives to make up the total storage I quoted) and can be switched off and the software will recognise this and use the remaining drives. He wasnt very specific about…
Margaret and Erik, That contest may be related to the one in which an Aussie bloke won an Animation contest with an Imagine anim. This was shown at WOC in Sydney last year and was very well done. Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
"cross posting" ok, I will relay any info I can get. Their "Tech" bloke advised that he cant release any info yet on the new MO drives other than to say that they will be downward compatible with the 128Mb MO disks. BTW they are running a contest with (I…
