#98824 BYTE Previews A3000 Message #98862
With any luck, someone with the article will leave this information. Rocco–
#98795 #BYTE Previews A3000 Message #98813
Larry, What extra graphic modes (resolution and # of colors) does Byte say the A3000 has? –Rocco–
#95295 Hannover-Germany Message #95357
Steve, If you hear anything, please keep us posted. –Rocco–
#Hannover-Germany Message #95279
Does anyone know when the Hannover Germany show is? I thought it was in March. If it has already occured, did CBM announce the A3000 or any other rumored products? –Rocco–
#85769 A3000 specs Message #85788
From: Rocco Passarette AmigaTech Forum · Hot News and Rumors January 22, 1990 7:59 AM
I thought of that. According to the people I spoke to the card is verticle to the motherboard (forms a upside down T). Cards plugged into this expansion board are parallel to the motherboard. The problem with adding more slots or a bigger expansion card is that it would go…
#85746 A3000 specs Message #85785
From: Rocco Passarette AmigaTech Forum · Hot News and Rumors January 22, 1990 7:51 AM
You can not read it anywhere until March I'm told. My source is someone (actually two people) who have access to CBM headquarters, have seen and worked with the machine. If you choose not to believe anything until you see it in print, so be it. I won't be the…
#85683 A3000 specs Message #85734
From: Rocco Passarette AmigaTech Forum · Hot News and Rumors January 21, 1990 9:40 PM
The reason why I put this info on this forum was to get reactions and to see if I was they only one who felt that CBM was making a mistake. Don't get me wrong, I think a scalled down version with 4 slots, a small footprint and a low…
From: Rocco Passarette AmigaTech Forum · Hot News and Rumors January 20, 1990 8:45 PM
From what I'm being told, Commodore is making an 80386 bridgecard. It is based on the 386SX chip. I do not have any information yet if it can now use the Amiga serial port or has built in VGA graphics. I can almost certainly say that the A3000 does not…
#A3000 specs Message #85517
From: Rocco Passarette AmigaTech Forum · Hot News and Rumors January 20, 1990 6:36 PM
I heard from two different people who saw the new A3000 that it has two interesting features. 1) The A3000 has a smaller footprint than the A2000, thus it will take up less space on your desktop. 2) The unit uses a single slot expansion card that has four expansion…
#12413 PP Upgrade Message #12452
From: Rocco Passarette Amiga Vendor Forum · Gold Disk October 11, 1989 4:11 PM
Rob, Thank you for the information. I just got a upgrade memo from Gold Disk telling me that as a Pagesetter owner I could call for my upgrade for $150.00 I just did it today. Thanks for the information. -Rocco-
#12254 PP Upgrade Message #12388
From: Rocco Passarette Amiga Vendor Forum · Gold Disk October 6, 1989 6:31 PM
No problem. I tried calling Gold disk and got a tape machine. Told them my question, and left my phone number for them to call me back. It's been two weeks and no return phone call. I tried getting the upgrade information here and they tell me to call. What's…
#43114- AtBridge Ram Exp. Message #43526

Don, Interesting idea. I will give it a try. If it works I'll let you know. Rocco PS I thought I had tried everthing. Thanks for the new idea!
#23283 2286 Bridge $1595??? Message #23312
From: Rocco Passarette AmigaTech · Graphics/DTP November 24, 1988 8:45 PM
As i've said let's hope that Commodore comes to to their senses and lowers the price. $1000.00 list price might be acceptable but $1599.00 is insane. My dealer confirmed the $1599.00 price for me yesterday, but said the boards would not ship until January 1989. I hope Commodore uses this…
From: Rocco Passarette AmigaTech · Graphics/DTP November 23, 1988 9:19 PM
Like yourself, I was shocked too. In my user group Long Island Commodore Amigians, we had 50 members who had planned to join in on a group purchase of the 80286 AT Bridgeboard. When the group heard the price was $1599 instead of the original estimation of about $1000, not…
#13840- #80286 Bridge Card When Message #13959
From: Rocco Passarette AmigaTech Forum · Hot News and Rumors September 29, 1988 9:37 PM
The PVA has a professional genlocbuilt in and a video frame grabber. I have not heard about the final version of the software, but I believe that it will do many ofatures of the VIdeo Toaster. The only drawback is that it does not have an S-VHS connector like the…
From: Rocco Passarette AmigaTech Forum · Hot News and Rumors September 27, 1988 8:18 PM
Is that 40 to 60 days using a normal calender or is it the CBM Calendar that has the definition of REAL SOON NOW on it? Seriously, I can't see what the delay is here. We are not talking about State of the Art Technology anymore with an AT 80286.…
From: Rocco Passarette AmigaTech Forum · Hot News and Rumors September 25, 1988 9:25 PM
I've been waiting over 1 year for the 80286 Bridge Board for the Amiga 200I've watched several opportunities to bring the Amiga 2000 into my company pass by sinc is not AT (80286) compatable. I need to have this compatability at home to do much of my work.aV$ My question…
#80286 & 68020 Boards Message #113493
From: Rocco Passarette The Amiga Forum · Hot News & Rumors March 12, 1988 7:02 PM
Can anyone tell me the status of the 80286 Bridge card or the 68020 for the 2000. I am interested in finding out about the release dates. In addition does anyone know if the new bridge card will be bundled with a 5 1/4 inch drive. If it is I…
#111635 #1.3 Printer Drivers Message #111731
Andy, Thanks for the responce, and I appreciate the information. Dare I ask what the graphics modes are supposed to do? (ie there are more graphics modes there then I think my Amiga 2000 supports) Since you would prefer not to mention when, can you attach resolutions/# of colors to…

From: Rocco Passarette The Amiga Forum · Hot News & Rumors February 27, 1988 8:12 PM
Don, With the new preferences you can select from graphics mode 0-7. What do each of these graphics modes stand for? I'm just wondering if this has anything to do with the rumored new chip set for the Amiga. Rocco

#110764- #1.3 Printer Drivers Message #111124
From: Rocco Passarette Forum unknown · Hot News & Rumors February 26, 1988 7:09 PM
Are you saying that Infinity software had permission to use the 1.3 printer devices? Does this also mean they could have used the full 1.3 workbench? Do you know when the final 1.3 will be available from Commodore? Will it be released with a new Kickstart chip and a hard…

Don, This version looks pretty finalized to me. I'm suprised that they could release it with an over the counter product without Commodore's approval. If you have any questions about it I'll be glad to answer them. Rocco

Does anybody know of a program for the Amiga that will allow it to emulate an IBM 3101 terminal? I have Diga! but can't figure how to write my own emulation even with their instructions. Any help or advise will be appreciated. Rocco
