i run a banyan network in a big company. the des~ktops are all intel and mac (oh for banyan client software for the amiga)~ I use all the microsoft stuff (word, excel, powerpoint) ~I am sorry to say th~at it doesn't matter TOO much about the farce called multitasking in…
what exchange are they on? and what symbol? i know th~ey are selling in Europe, but they don't seem to be getting any stronger here. what a shame i~t takes 4+ times as much $ ~to sell something as it does to create it. charlie mccready
the latest issue of microtimes down here (l.a. area) has a review of the amiga client software for novell netware. they give it high marks. Since I run a Banyan network, I'm still out of luck. charlie mccready
What is the data-transfer rate of the drive? Is it a comparable drive to the nec units I keep seeing ads for? (pc week/infoworld). can i use it for cdtv? charlie mccready
that seems to ring a bell with me. I set up my hard card about 4 years ago, but the part about not linking the drive to the amiga side until ffdisking seems familiar. .. anyway, that's what I'd recommend. Charlie McCready
I was looking for some info last year too. let me know what you find out? some commercial boards are now pretty cheap in the used market, you may want to check out amigauser forum classifieds charlie mccready
how about client software for banyan? Is there appletalk software for the amiga that will make the amiga an appletalk peer or client? charlie mccready
wish i had the kind of cash necessary to make a reasonable offer … could be a good deal. what kind of school project, anyway? charlie mccready
do you have a hd controller? to go with the drive charlie mccready
why is everybody giving you such a hard time about the 2090a? I'm not really up to speed on ami hardware, but won't it get the job done? is it thaaaat sloooow? will it support amax? I could be interested. charlie mccready
I saw your ad in video toaster user for novell client software. do you have client software for banyan vines? do you have appletalk software? now that vines will work as an appletalk server appletalk software for ami would allow her to connect to banyan networks. there are a couple…
does compute still put out an amiga mag? charlie mc cready (hughes aircraft)
now that makes my ears perk-up real quick! I run a Banyan VINES LAN that will soon be supporting macs (it has been pc-only for 6? years) any cpu we buy around here must be able to go on the lan. if i can attach an amiga as an apple…
i'm no toaster expert (though i'd die to be able to afford one or work in an environment where they are used) but I sometimes pick up a copy of avid at my dealer. some months ago, i beleive they dealt with the installation of a toaster in a 3000.…
homemade accel. LUCAS
Message #22085
hi … looking for an old "user assembled" accelerator LUCAS. it is a 68020/68881 setup with extension for 32bit ram… anyone know of it? charlie mccready
darin, are you guys the same folks that do the stuff for ms-dos etc.? if so, aare suberbase files compatible across multi-platforms? I want to inintegrate some amigas into my banyan msdos/mac lan. that would be useful to know. charlie mccready (hughes aircraft)
how much do you want for it? I would like to play around with on, but don't want to spend a lot … don't need super quality. charlie
how much?
I seem to recall some behavior like that. I'm sure Don will have some better advice than I, but my problems were traced back to the amiga side and the paths and locations of bb files. I had no problems is I booted from a floppy (the amiga floppy, that…
I have used a postscript cartridge (pacificpage) on a IIp through the serial port of a mac. they have a different driver that allows for comm other than appletalk. I have no experience with amax, but I thought this may be of some value. Charlie McCready Hughes Aircraft
LUCAS accelerator
Message #17928
A few months ago, I inquired about a "built your own" 68020 accelerator called LUCAS. I got one reply, but I can't remember who it was. Does anyone know of one of these laying around. Now that I'm closer to affording it, I'd like to play around with one. Charlie
I'll look up videolynx. if you have any more reviews on the toaster for that purpose, i'll look into it too. do you have any idea how much ram i would be looking at for storage of the video? (about 30 secs. of b/w with some reasonable amount of gray)…
I am looking for a way to capture 30 secs. of black & white video (NTSC) and store it in RAM (or some other type of storage that has no mechanical parts). I guess 64 shades of gray would be adequate (maybe even 32 or 16). Does anyone know of…
