#547 CPU upgrades Message #715
From: George Feamster AmigaTech Forum · Expansion Hardware July 17, 1988 12:23 AM
A 14 Mhz 16000 board with MMU support electronics that was recently advertised in one of the Amiga Magazines is $150 and doesn't include the MMU chip. I guess that could come later.

Actually the classic example (if not the parent) of role playing games is DnD. The primary differences between Dungeon Master and U4 is that in U4 there is "verbal" interaction between the player and the characters encountered. Also in U4 there is a factor referred to in Dnd as alignment…

From: George Feamster The Amiga Forum · Off the Cuff July 11, 1988 2:22 PM
Picture before you someone who has never had much contact with a computer. And now there is the overall feeling that your job depends on your learning how to use it. Anxiety is now increased. It's very easy to blame anything going wrong on the computer's software or hardware thus…
#134093- ST to AMY file transfer Message #134135
From: George Feamster The Amiga Forum · Hardware July 11, 1988 2:22 PM
Diskettes that started in the IBM format ended up unreadable by IBM machines after some processing by the ST in GEM mode. So isT~9[LVring was done to these diskette you may be out of luck. On the PC Ditto diskette there was a special device driver to aid in the…

From: George Feamster Forum unknown · Games July 8, 1988 10:28 AM
I called Origins Systems today and they reported that their estimated shipment date for U4 is August 15. Also I inquired as to the upgrade from the ST version to the Amiga version and they (customer service) quoted a price of $10 (via mail with old diskettes and the Machine…

If anyone has this guy, one way to speed up the diskette I/O (if you have the memory) is to place ADDBUFFERS on a backup and include it in your Startup-Sequence. I tried FaccII (my favorite) but BT2 plays with the priority I think. I added AddBuffers 256 to mine…

#132744 A.X.News Magazine Message #132890
As a suggestion to A.X. Mag: If you review a game (eg Dungeonquest) either review it or place not more than two lines in a section called "In Our Next Issue…". Anything else could be interpreted as shabby writting or a desperate attemp at filler. Still, a very good magazine.…
#125141- #monitors ? Message #125448
From: George Feamster The Amiga Forum · Hardware May 19, 1988 1:31 PM
I purchased the Taxxan 770+ multisync for my Amiga and am pleased with it. I use it with my ega plus board at resoulutions up to 800 x 600 without any problems. One thing to consider is that no monitor that I have seen will prevent some degree of flicker…
