Todd, I'm interested in selling my A3000. It has a PP&S 040 board in it that makes it fly. I do think it needs to be tightened a bit better though because the computer gets flakey unless I press down a bit on the 040 board. It has 18 megs…
Thanks for the input Lepido. I'll give those a try but I doubt the programs I am running need any help. Mainly CanDo, AutoPilot, DOpus, etc.
#A3000 4 sale
Message #197428
I recently bought an A3000 here on CIS. I've had trouble getting it to work reliably so I want to sell it as is to anyone who is willing to invest the time needed to get it working properly. (This could be something as simple as finding the right 68040.library…
PP&S 040 library?
Message #197416
I've got a PP&S 040 for my A3000. I need the latest 68040.library for it. Can anyone direct me to where I might find it? Is it here in the libs hidden somewhere? Thanks much since my Ami isn't working properly. I suspect the library file might have something to…

I've got WB3.1 so I'll reinstall it. Thanks for the suggestion. …DonovaN
I'm using version 36.2 of the 68040.library and version 40.16 of setpatch. How do I get the latest 68040.library?
Richard, how exactly should I use one of those connectors then? What do I plug where?
I forgot to mention this is a brand new harddisk. I lowleveled it just the other day. Anyway, I'll do what you suggest and see if that helps.
#Work has checksum error?
Message #189490
I sometimes get messages like: 'Work has a checksum error' when I power on my A3000 with a PP&S 040 board. If I click on Retry that will usually make it go away. Does anybody know why this keeps happening? Thanks.. …DonovaN
#PP&S 040 question
Message #189489
Can anyone tell me what the two connectors are for on my PP&S 040 board in my A3000? They are the same type of connector as my DF0: floppy has. I didn't get a manual with this 040 card unfortunately. …DonovaN
MultiBacker is rexx code to control Quarterback. I emailed the author and he told me what to do to solve my problem. …DonovaN
#Quarterback HELP!
Message #189157
Can anyone tell me how to restore the second volume on a tape in Quarterback? I backed up SYS: and then WORK: to one tape using MultiBacker here in the libs. I can get the catalog for SYS: but cannot seem to get past that to get the catalog for…

Caller ID in SF?

You're right but someone already told me it is illegal in CA. Oh well. …DonovaN
Caller ID in SF?
Message #189113
Most unfortunate. Thanks for the reply Christian. …DonovaN
Good one Steve. I'm much too busy(lazy) for that these days. It sure is nice having an Amiga again after almost a year without one. What is the first thing I did when I got my new Ami? Loaded up AutoPilot and checked messages. Goodbye Navigator. Ugh. …DonovaN
#Missing Ram Question
Message #188540
I recently bought an A3000 with a PP&S 040 board installed. The person I bought it from said it had 18 megs of ram. Only 12 megs show up however when I check the Workbench title bar or SysInfo. I do have 2 megs of chip ram. That only totals…

#Branden Beachy????
Message #153180
I bought an Amiga 500 and Panasonic printer from Branden Beachy. He sent the goods but did not include a printer manual or Amiga manual and disks. I have lost his email address but he did say he would send them to me. I haven't seen them for months. Branden,…
Hi Charles, personally I would buy a Warp or GVP now. I used to want a Mercury for my 3000/16 and would have jumped at that price. It sounds like a pretty good price. But, nowadays I would go for a Warp or GVP just because they are new and…
It's hard enough getting 2.x. That's why I didn't even ask anything about 3.x!
Jeez, KJ Computers is still around? I lived in Manhattan Beach when the 1000 came out. KJ was always a great source for Amiga stuff. I still have my first 1200 baud modem from them. I haven't used it in years of course..
Thanks Jerry.
I want to run 2.x on my Amiga 500. It is already 1.3. Ugh.
Thanks for the exact info Ray. I'll keep my eyes peeled for an ICD Flicker Free Video. Whatever happened to ICD anyway? I thought they had some pretty neat products a while back. Though expensive.
#WTB: Flickfix for 500
Message #147784
I want to hook my A500 up to an SVGA monitor. Anybody selling what I need?
Thanks for the info. I know it's hard to get in the US. That's why I figured I'd try getting something used here in the classifieds section.
Thanks Michael, I'll look for one.
I don't have a flickerfixer. Oh well. Anybody have one fore sale?

Anybody want to sell me a SCSI hard drive and ram external box for my 500? What do you have and how much do you want?
#500 2 SVGA monitor?
Message #147576
How do I hook up my 500 to a SVGA monitor?
I'm asking $700. Someone has supposedly already sent a check though so I consider it sold. You never know until moneys in the bank of course but I'm pretty sure this deal is done.
I don't know model numbers, sorry. If it works it works. Congrats you lucky devil… ..DonovaN
I believe some 3000's came with HD floppy drives. Of course I had to buy mine. ..DonovaN
I'm not sure what more to tell you about my 3000 but I'll try. It is a 16 mhz model. There are 4 free slots. 16 megs of 80ns fast ram and 2 megs of chip ram. I installed a Chinon High density drive in it. The original Quantum 50…
Well, the guy who bid $750 backed out so the first person to offer me $700 gets it. I'll even through in the Northgate keyboard now. This is a very nice keyboard. ..DonovaN
I see what you are saying. It doesn't apply to me because I have never used a HD disk as a LD disk. I have a HD drive in my Amiga. ..DonovaN
Richard, in one night I got 4 replies. Highest bid so far is $750. Thanks. ..DonovaN

I'm not sure why you would advise me not to use HD-disks on the Amiga. I've been using them for a long time now with no problems. ..DonovaN
Thanks Michael. I used a lo-density and it worked. ..DonovaN
OK. I used a lo-density disk and it worked fine. ..DonovaN
#Help me with DMS please
Message #145143
I've just downloaded my first DMS file macv42.dms in the UU library. I then downloaded dms201.sfx and uncompressed it. When I type DMS write macv42 it goes through this sequence which appears to be writing tracks to my df0: disk which is a high density formatted disk. But when it…
If you want to break it up I am interested in the GVP Series II HDD controller with or preferably without the hard drive. Let me know a price if you are interested. ..DonovaN
Thanks for the info Bob. I'll keep it on file. ..DonovaN
