From: George Smoot Amiga Arts Forum · DeskTop Video February 7, 1991 9:23 PM
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…
From: George Smoot Amiga Arts Forum · DeskTop Video December 22, 1990 12:43 AM
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
From: George Smoot Amiga Tech Forum · Forum Business/Help November 4, 1990 9:48 PM
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
From: George Smoot Amiga User Forum · Bridgeboard/AMAX October 28, 1990 7:59 PM
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…

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

From: George Smoot Amiga User Forum · Amiga Amateur Radio September 28, 1990 10:41 PM
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…
#812 Amiga Amateur Radio Message #1566
From: George Smoot Amiga User Forum · Amiga Amateur Radio September 23, 1990 9:06 PM
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…
From: George Smoot Amiga Tech Forum · Forum Business/Help September 10, 1990 8:59 PM
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…
From: George Smoot Amiga Tech Forum · Forum Business/Help September 9, 1990 3:21 PM
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…
#159 DISP.ARC is gone! Message #170
From: George Smoot Amiga Tech Forum · Forum Business/Help September 9, 1990 10:10 AM
Thank you, Betty. I'll look there. George
From: George Smoot Amiga Tech Forum · Forum Business/Help September 8, 1990 5:37 PM
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
From: George Smoot AmigaTech Forum · Expansion Hardware January 27, 1989 10:45 PM
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…
#23856- Spice Source Message #24012
From: George Smoot AmigaTech · Tool Box November 30, 1988 7:22 PM
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.
#23568 Spice Source Message #23610
From: George Smoot AmigaTech · Tool Box November 27, 1988 7:26 PM
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…
#114154 Word Perfect Problems Message #114318
From: George Smoot The Amiga Forum · Amiga at Work March 17, 1988 8:40 PM
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…
#113372 Word Perfect Problems Message #113425
From: George Smoot The Amiga Forum · Amiga at Work March 12, 1988 8:26 AM
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
From: George Smoot The Amiga Forum · Amiga at Work March 11, 1988 8:22 PM
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…
#107597 VT240/VT340 Emulation Message #107787
From: George Smoot The Amiga Forum · Telecommunications February 6, 1988 6:26 PM
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
From: George Smoot The Amiga Forum · Telecommunications February 5, 1988 5:07 PM
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
From: George Smoot The Amiga Forum · Telecommunications February 5, 1988 1:34 PM
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
#83508- Fortran Message #83760
From: George Smoot Forum unknown · Programming September 5, 1987 9:57 PM
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
From: George Smoot The Amiga Forum · Hardware July 20, 1987 7:14 PM
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…
#76597 #Insider Problem? Message #76671
From: George Smoot The Amiga Forum · Hardware July 17, 1987 8:57 PM
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…
#76556 Insider Problem? Message #76669
From: George Smoot The Amiga Forum · Hardware July 17, 1987 8:54 PM
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
From: George Smoot The Amiga Forum · Hardware July 16, 1987 7:30 PM
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
From: George Smoot The Amiga Forum · Hardware May 15, 1987 9:45 PM
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…

From: George Smoot Forum unknown · Amiga at Work May 10, 1987 10:26 AM
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…
