Andy, if the creator of this Amiga portable is in fact infringing on any of the copyrights held by Commodore, then Commodore most certainly does have the right to dictate the future of that machine. The precedent has been set in the Apple market, and lets face it, without the…
Thats true, the DMI drive is nothing more than the Insite floptical drive wrapped up in thier own enclosure. The same drive is now being OEMed by IBM for the new PS/2 machines. If it is not compatible with the IBM disks it should be little problem for DMI to…
Very good question… I will have to boot up my animation studio and see if it allows for the conversion or importation of .fli files. There is a convert program included with the MS-DOS version but I have never tried it out. I will give it a shot and let…
It may also be possible to convert the fli into the Cfast format used by Disney in the Animation Studio. The Animation studio builds and plays back both iff and cfast files from either the ms-dos or the Amiga version. I've been using this method to transport my amiga IFF…
You said it! Windows definately isn't in my job description! Unfortunately I've had to learn an awful lot about windows though… Most of our networking customers just have to have the "pretty little icons". Breaks an Amiga lovers heart to have to fight with that bear (windows) day in and…
Lemme see which copy I can part with… there's the copy that came with my new JVC television… the copy that came with my new toaster (not video toaster!)… I just got married and for presents i recieved another 4 copies… yeah I think I've got a few to spare!…
No no no! That was just a joke to point out how ridiculous it is to talk about millions of copies of windows being sold. My point was that windows is bundled with just about everything now, my reference to the Amiga was merely humor. I didn't really get a…
Hmmm, I'm no programmer so I wouldn't even begin to know how to do that. With the great number of IBM sound cards in use and the quality of Amiga sounds, I thought that someone would have made a bridge between the two environments… It sure would be nice…
Ha ha ha ha haha! You gotta remember that Microsoft is inflating those numbers by including the copies of Windows sold to pc manufacturers and bundled with cheap clone systems! Take Gateway for example, they include windows for free, on their own label, with every pc purchase! That'll get alot…
Hmmm… Well thanks for the input. I wasn't sure if I could just convert soundblaster files to an IFF compatible format. Sounds almost like I may need to purchase an amiga sound digitizer…
Amiga-IBM sounds
Message #13536
Does anyone know if there is a utility program that will allow conversion of IBM sound files to Amiga IFF files ? More specifically, I am looking for something that will allow me to convert my large library of soundblaster sounds and music to Amiga formats and vice-versa… I guess…
Toaster network ?

John, I have a few questions for ya about the TSS net products that your company sells… My company is a Novell Gold level networking company and the Amiga is our platform of choice for low end unix and multimedia (toasters!). Our toughest problem to date has been finding solid…
As an IBM reseller I can tell ya that the current laptop isn't cheap either! That portable Amiga sounds very good to me! think of the market that could be created for mobile desktop productions… As it is now if you want to use a pc for proposals or demos…
