Music-X Demo Question
Message #5530
David, I have finally had enough time to play with the SYSEX messages and my CT-670. I have been unable to send SYSEX messages using the Music-X demo in the libs but I wrote a small C program to send out whatever hex sequences I type in from the keyboard.…
Steve, You can say that again! The mind boggles at all of the equipment out there. With regard to velocity sensing I understand what you mean. I played with a Yamaha Portable Piano today. It was really nice compared to the other electronic keyboards in its price class. Its been…
David, Thanks, I downloaded a lot of info on MIDI last week but I missed the demos! Actually, I hadn't even considered a 49 key keyboard, it seemed to limiting even when demoed in the shops. My wife was with me today and was pushing for a less expensive unit…
Thanks for the info. Yes, I have lurked this forum on and off for a while and understand a little of the situation with DMCS. If all goes well I'll be looking for other software in the near future. Initially I plan to use the keyboard for playing sequences but…
#Electr. Keyboard Info.
Message #3882
Is there any information on the pros and cons (or comparisons of) the various electronic keyboards on this forum? I have DMCS and would like to use the MIDI capabilities of the Amy. Can anyone comment on what features would be most desireable as well as Casio vs Yamaha for…
#Address for GVP
Message #3118
Would someone have the address of Great Valley Products (GVP) close at hand? The information that I have has three different addresses. All are in Pennsylvania but different towns. George
Thanks for the info, Don. I'll get my scope out this weekend and determine if the only problem is the select signal. If so I may be able to jumper it over to the correct cable run for internal operation. George
#Adding Internal BB Drive
Message #4868
Is there information somewhere concerning how to connect an additional internal drive to the A2088 BridgeBoard? While I am waiting for CATS to send me more information on the BridgeBoard I would like to connect both the 5-1/4 drive and a 3.5 drive internally. It seems that since CBM decided…

#Amiga Amateur Radio
Message #2051
Thanks very much, Kelly. Would Ben Blish know who to contact? I used to live in Sunrise and I believe I know Tim. Anyway I'll give him a call tomorrow and find out about all of this. Thanks again. George, WB4IPB

#Amiga Amateur Radio
Message #2050
Paul, My AVT is the one built and distributed originally by Black Belt. I was away when the upgrade to the AEA AVT occurred and I'm not sure if its possible to upgrade any longer. I already get the pix from 8.078MHz. Even on a hard disk they do take…
Paul, Pardon me for lurking but I am anxious to hear about the setup you are using to get the satellite pictures. I have the "old" AVT (I never upgraded since they did everything while I was out of town for a month) and didn't see an easy way to…
Don, Thanks for the info. I have noticed that you are considered as the Bridgeboard expert! Suggestion 1 doesn't seem to work. Suggestion 2 sounds good if I follow suggestion 3!!! I was hoping that some kind fatherly individual would have discovered the correct method by now and saved me…
BridgeBoard Floppy Ctrl?
Message #192
I have been using a multi-function board on the MSDO side of the Amiga with a 2088 Bridgeboard for quite a while. This board offers two serial ports, one parallel port, a game port, and a floppy disk controller. I have used all except the floppy controller which I have…
Thank you, Betty. I'll look there. George
#DISP.ARC is gone!
Message #143
Where does the file DISP.ARC which was at one time in lib 1 now exist? This file was a composition of Don's articles mostly on the Bridgeboard. George
#A2620 Problems???
Message #32419
I have borrowed an A2620 card from an Amiga 2500 to try in my 2000 which has a bridgeboard, the 2058 RAM, and an GVP HC-80 hard card. It really screams in its normal 68020/68881 operating mode BUT… When I do the "Three Fingered Salute" it does NOT give the…

Spice Source
Message #24012
The address from which you can get information concerning SPICE source listings, formats, costs, etc. is University of California EECS/ERL Industrial Support Office 461 Cory Hall Berkeley, CA 94720 ATTN.: Ms. Cindy Manly I hope that helps.
I didn't post the source for AmigaSpice because I am still working on it and didn't want to see several different versions with perhaps several different bugs giving the program a black eye. The source is really the original SPICE2G.6 FORTRAN with several changes made to allow it to compile…
Lynn, Thanks. I called your technical service people on Monday and was told that there was a problem with the Diablo 620 driver when a font change occurred. Of course your printer test file changes fonts many times. When I printed a "normal" document there was no problem. Also I…
Jim, Thanks but those files are already there. After much playing and Gurus I have discovered that it only happens with the Diablo 620 printer. I still have the old WP on disk in another directory and the 620 works with it! My Gemini 10X works just fine (well maybe…
#Word Perfect Problems
Message #113337
H E L P ! I just received a new version (4.1 1/7/88) of Word Perfect today which I was told would fix my problems. Well… When I try to print the file PRINTER.TST which worked ok on the former version the Amy locks up about two seconds after clicking…
Thanks, Bruce. I already have looked at Handshake. The newest version (1.6b) doesn't agree with my modem for some reason. I have been using the old version though when I talk to our VAX. What I would really like is to find a terminal program that would support DEC 340…
Handshake in DL4
Message #107556
Has anyone else had porblems with HANDSHAKE, the VT100 terminal program in DL4? My MultiTech 224E locks up after connect and I can't talk to it again with any program until I turn it off to reset things. All is well until I get connected and then nothing happens. I…
VT240/VT340 Emulation
Message #107539
Does anyone know where I could beg, borrow, buy, or steal an emulator for the Amiga which will emulate a DEC VT240 or (even better) a VT340? George

Fortran
Message #83760
I have used it for lots of large programs. Presently I am trying to get Spice 2G.6 running on the Amiga. This compiler is almost as good as the one I use on a VAX at work. It has a nice debugger too. If you use RAM: for all the…

#Download Problems
Message #77032
I have always thought that messages with headings like this one were due to misunderstandings in how to download but perhaps now my attitude has changed. I have been trying to download TIMESA.ARC from DL11 for several days now without success. I have the new version of Online! and I…
Don, Thanks anyway. I am wondering if there might be a problem with something on the board in addressing the clock or maybe I have a hidden problem with my SCSI host adapter. I'll know tomorrow morning when I get another just like mine to try (and another Amiga to…
Larry, Yes, I have tried running without the RTClock command. Everything is just fine then. Its only when I try to execute that command with the "update the Amiga clock" options that I have problems. Otherwise I can do everything that I used to only with 1 Meg more memory.…
#Insider Problem?
Message #76545
I have read all of the good news about the INSIDER memory expansion for the Amy but has anyone had any problems with the clock? I have had my insider for about 3 days now and the memory seems to work just fine. However whenever I try to use the…
#68010 No More!
Message #67865
Well SYSOPS and other 68010 detractors I no longer have a 68010 in my Amy. I should have taken all of your well meant advice in the first place. The Amy just isn't ready for the '010 yet. As many of you know the Decigel program must be installed just…
John (my master…), If you have seen patches to Transformer you sure could save me and others many hours of pain if you would post them. I have been working at just what might need to be done on and off for several weeks now. Pleeeeeease open up that closet…

#Transformer/68010
Message #67054
I am working on a patch to Transformer presently. I plan to modify the program to include a Decigel-like priv-violation handler. I am not too certain of what success I'll have since who knows just what they are doing there? Presently though thats on hold until I chase down what…
