Frank, I'm glad to hear you are on your way to a cure. – Lorenz K. Sievers –
David, There is a program that checks for link viruses here, I believe it's called BootX3.80d. – Lorenz K. Sievers –
Frank, Is your system locking during a shuttle-search? My experience has been that the genlocked Amiga requires stable incoming sync during shuttle-searches and can be corrected by using house black as input source and then fed downstream to the switcher (provided the entire edit suite is genlocked to house black)……
Gold Disk Type CGFonts
Message #14923
Help! I recently purchased a Gold Disk Type (Video Series) AGFA Compugraphic outline font disk and haven't been able to successfully create Amiga bitmapped fonts using Gold Disks' supplied utilities. The font file format is not recognized by Fountain, so I am limited to using Gold Disks software. I have…
Huh? What? Guess I missed this thread somewhere… Hitachi VY-15A Video Printer on Sale for $499.00? Fill me in, please! – Lorenz K. Sievers –
Bill, Granted, it is one thing for the magazine reviewer to point out the platform and another when the manufacturer does so. However, I guess I'm the optimist and believe that given the rate the Toasters are currently selling at (regardless of packaging) and the acceptance they've gained among the…
I recall testing the miniGEN several years ago and found the output barely passable. In my opinion, it isn't anywhere close to RS170A; but, in a consumer "fun" application, like home movies and such, it would be okay. – Lorenz K. Sievers –
A/Video issue February 1991 p.48 has an article dealing with "Important issues related to recording and editing audio for video." – Lorenz K. Sievers –
In Decembers A/Video magazine they review the "Hottest Products of 1991" and name the Toaster v2.0 as among the top 30 (on page 10). The accompanying blurb states: "In 1991, NewTek also unveiled two Toaster Workstations that can be used as stand-alone systems or as video peripherals for Macintosh and…
Martin, I was under the impression the HDToolBox was only for CBM HD's… I'll try it though. Thanks for the tip.
It's important to first define your needs in titling. Are you looking for titles generated and displayed "on-the-fly" or are you going to be generating "canned" titles to be used in post? Are you limiting yourself to software-only programs or considering combination hardware/software solutions. Is resolution important? Can you live…
Barrow and the Amiga
Message #45064
George, January 14th at 1:14 pm = SUNRISE. Re: The wooden masks with slits… The North Slope Inupiat people made their "sunglasses" primarily from baleen or skins (as there are no trees here), with several narrow slits cut for each eye, which acted as fixed apertures. They've been colder in…
John, I love that scenario… I can really get a good visual image of the assembly-type-person scanning piles of Amiga guts and spotting those drives. :> – Lorenz K. Sievers –
I have a question re: AMAXII also. My system config is: 5MB RAM GVP Series II A500-HD+, with 80MB Maxtor HD and 2.04 installed. What I'd like to be able to do is eliminate the AMAX: harddisk icon from appearing on the workbench. Thus far, the only way to achieve…
Ben, Thanks. It would really be a kick to see our neighborhood from a different perspective. I can see where it would aid our Search and Rescue folks if there were a regular source for this type of information. – Lorenz K. Sievers –
George, It's been pretty livable thus far. -36F without wind has been the lowest this winter, with a low windchill of -72F. 35% of normal precip and mostly overcast this dark season. Yep, I've had enough darkness. The high point of the day has been between 1 – 1:30 pm,…
Ben, Do you ever see SSTV pix from/of the North Slope of Alaska? – Lorenz K. Sievers –
I've seen print ads in Computer Graphics World, Computer Graphics, Audio/Video Magazine and Video Magazine (all professional magazines.) Usually, these are single page layouts, with the A3000 sitting on a directors chair and a single spot positioned to the side. Simple statement, perhaps a bit pretentious… but those ads are…
Actually, a fruitcake for gov't employees would be a nice piece of recognition at our end! – Lorenz K. Sievers –
Gerard, Thanks. I'll purchase the s'ware and see how it helps. If I have questions (most likely), I'll give you a call. Thanks again. – Lorenz K. Sievers –
Gerard, Thanks for the tip. I'll contact them forthwith! – Lorenz K. Sievers –
Rex, Could you give me a little information as to what the Printlink Collection is? I also have a Panasonic 1124i and am having some aspect orientation problems. Thanks. – Lorenz K. Sievers –
Have seen that same ad in "Computer Pictures" (inside back cover, October/November '91.) – Lorenz K. Sievers –
Also, when a burned-in image is present on the vidicon et al, a one-in-a-million chance remedy sometimes helps decrease the effect of the burn-in. Aim the camera at a white card under balanced light for several hours… I've seen it lessen the burned-in image to a faint grey ghost. This…
Kevin, I've got Modula 2, published by TDI Software, Inc. Never really played with it much though. I've picked this thread up late, what are you looking for? – Lorenz K. Sievers –
Paul, Thanks. Will do. – Lorenz K. Sievers –
Jonathan, I suggest the GVP Series II A500-HD+. It is a snap to set up, is fast, and is available up to 105MB HD storage. I am using one in my home computer (82MB + 4MB ram.) You can fit up to 8MB ram in it and I've received excellent…
Paul, Question about the CMI 2000 Processor Accelerator Board. I have one also, but trashed the accompanying program disk about two years. CMI Processor is now longer supported by the company which picked up the rest of the product line. Would it be possible to get a copy of the…
RE: Multimedia Just got a pamphlet in the mail from Microsoft… They are sponsoring "The International Conference & Exposition on Multimedia and CD-ROM," 3/10-12/92 at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco. Touting the "industry's largest exposition," it may be interesting to attend. CBM is signed on as well as…
WPCorp PC Testing, et. al. — ..I struggled with your program while developing a storyboard back in 1988. The incredibly clumsy interface and marginally functional utilization of the capabilities of the Amiga platform crippled our efforts to integrate your product into our production studio with any degree of reliability whatsoever.…
I am very sorry to hear of your personal tragedy. My thoughts are with you.
ATonce Fire Sale
Message #39679
You have to spend money to save money… For Sale: ATonce IBM-PC Emulator with latest software, docs, etc. Will also include free: Original MS-DOS 4.01 disks and manuals in box. Make an offer EMail, silent bidding closes on 11/8/91. – Lorenz K. Sievers –
Regarding a program which looks at instruments used in a particular DMCS score, I've been using a program called "LISTINT" since 1986. Works well. Not sure where you can find it, not even sure what the original file name and extension was way back then. It should be around though.…
Bill, Speaking from an experiential point of view, I agree. I've invested in projects and bonds… many times against the advice of my CPA brother-in-law. I've been burned and I've made money. My point is – that in my do as I say and not as I am always willing…
Bill, Cash up front. It's the only way to do business and want to stay in business. (unless you sell cars.) – Lorenz K. Sievers – – Lorenz K. Sievers –
Bill, Show up at my doorstep and I'll put the coffee on. By the way, I've found another Amigan here in Barrow, (even though I'm about 200 feet farther north, and can continue my "Northernmost Amiga Owner in the World" claim :>) Now my mission is to get them up…
Keith, RE: "Ouch, Stop That!" What is that? Squeezing the mouse??? Coffee on the keyboard??? – Lorenz K. Sievers – – via Whap!
Bill, Actually, U.S. Snail arrives whenever the weather permits this time of year through to about March or so. Ice fog, white-out conditions, etc. prevent the airplanes from landing. So… in the old days (imagine your grandfather talking here) dog teams would deliver mail among the villages here on the…
Bill, Thanks for the info. I think I'll wait until the version 2.x is easily had… (I can picture it now, sled team from Nome arrives in a flurry of activity… musher drags his tired body across the final few feet and drops the package containing the ROMs at my…
David, Sample problems at level 1 of Math Blaster Plus look like this: 2 3 ? +1 -? +2 __ __ __ ? 1 5 There is also an editor included… enabling you to create your own sets. The program prints out attaboy certificates as the kids play "shoot down…
Betty, Thanks. I think I'll wait until I have 2.04 up and running before I try using AREXX. – Lorenz K. Sievers – – via Whap!
I'll pay $300 for the A-Max II. Let me know. – Lorenz K. Sievers – – via Whap!
Bill, How do I get a liscensed version of AREXX? – Lorenz K. Sievers – – via Whap!
I'll vouch for the "Math Blaster Plus" program. My kids love it and it is actually rated ages 6 – 12. – via Whap!
I wonder what it would take to start a Users Group of two? :> My wife and I would make a majority? – Lorenz K. Sievers – – via Whap!
Bill, Now that's an area where I am definitely a tourist. AREXX intrigues me and at the same time I am a bit intimidated about learning the language. I guess I need to see someone else using it and observe some practical applications where I could use it here in…
Bill, I remember using the old "Starterm" program in 1985 and thinking… "Gee Wally, this is really swell… being able to use the computer on the phone and junk!" Several years and many term programs and computers later, I must also tip my hat to those memories and early programs.…
Betty, Thanks for the reply. As I told Keith, it's absolutely amazing the time and cash I am already seeing saved by using B+. I Appreciate the help. – Lorenz K. Sievers – – via Whap!
Keith, Thanks for the information. It's really tremendous being able to continue using CIS after the time I would normally log off due to cost constraints. – Lorenz K. Sievers – – via Whap!
Betty, On the DL menu I see B, B+ and QB. Which is best (or should I say supported by Access!)? I've successfully used B, but will QB work as well? Thanks in advance. – Lorenz K. Sievers –
