#Arexx Question
Message #47083
Hi all, Could someone tell me if there is an easy way to tell if a key is being held down in Arexx? What I'd like to do, is write an Arexx script that would be launched during my S:Startup-sequence only if I'm holding a certain key down during the…
AmiTCP Help
Message #197273
Wow Thank Steve for Autopilot…I just selected 'Read From History' and bingo there's the message. Awesome program! Well, here's the instructions I used:
Hmm, I'm afraid I can't help you there….AmigaDos things I'm OK. Networks things I'm just learning. I'll tell you how I got mine running though. If it hasn't scrolled off yet, get message #192384 I followed the instructions in that message and got my system up and running. It doesn't…
The Problem is startnet can't find the program WaitForPort. I had the same problem at first. I got out the old AmigaDos manual and it's an ARexx program (command). Anyway, if yoiu don't have Arexx installed, install it and have it run at startup. You may have to alter the…

Mosaic Email?
Message #196383
Hello, I've just got Mosaic up and running and have used it a bit (much better when you get it on the custum screen!) and have been happily net surfing the past few days. What a difference from a few weeks ago when CIS annouced its new internet offering. I…
Well, I have an Amiga 4000/30 and would love to get a cheap 040 board if it really works! How does yours work? Can you give my any benchmarks or comparisons? As long as they're reliable on the 4000's for $395 it's a heck of a deal. Craig Craig Glaser
#Accelerator Query
Message #196261
Hello, I've noticed a coupla ads in amigaworld and AC for a Commodore A3640 25 Mhz 68040 w/fpu accelerator card for $395 This simply sounds too good to be true. What exactly is the A3640? Is it an 040 board originally for the 3000? Does anybody know what this board…

#CallerID Program
Message #159862
Hello, I recently downloaded a very well done utility to keep track of calls with a Supra Modem and Caller ID. I Beleive the program is simply called CallerID. It is written by a guy by the name of Sean Riddle. The problem is this is the demo version. It…
Oops, I just read another reply from you. I didn't realize shipping C.O.D. was expensive. I'd be willing to send you a check, let me know your mailing adresss and we'll get this thing underway. thanks, Craig Glaser
I'd be interested in the SimLife game. Let me know if it's still available and how you'd like to handle shipping/payment. Craig Glaser
The reason I'd like to know if it's Multiscan is I want to buy a monitor that will work should I buy a 3rd party graphics card. Right now, Yes I'd be happy, but I'm thinking about possible upgrades and the future. A Tri-scan would limit me I think. While…
#Electrahome Question
Message #151608
Hello, I've recently purchased an Amiga 4000/30 and am VERY happy with it. However, Since I upgraded from an Amiga 500, I am still using an old 1084SD Monitor. I'm soon going to buy a monitor for my Amiga 4000 and was lookign at the Electrahome 1962. I've heard conflicting…
Emplant w/68030EC?
Message #81249
Jim, (or UU) In your ads for Emplant it states it needs a 68020 or a 68030(40) with MMU, now I have an Amiga 4000/30 which while having the 68030 it does not have an MMU. Does this mean I'll have to replace my 68030(EC) with a real one before…
68030EC to 68030?
Message #141522
Hi All 🙂 I have an Amiga 4000/30 and though I haven't looked to see if my processor is in a socket or not, I was wondering if it is socketed, can I just drop a Real 68030 in (rather than the 68030EC I have now) and expect it to…
MultiView Question
Message #140665
Hi, Is there anyway to get MultiView from printing FormFeeds after every page? I like Multiview because of its flexability, but the way it is now sure wastes a lot of paper printing out those doc files. I've looked at the tooltypes but I don't see any that seem to…
Bob, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! It worked. The Max Transfer rate was at 0xffffff, I cut it down to what you suggested and it worked fine after that. Makes sense now that I know IDE can't handle fast transfers. Alot like a fast modem without CTS I imagine.…
See my message Strange Problem II. It's not the program, it's something wierd with the hard drive transfer handler. I'm going to try Bob's suggestion on changing my max transfer rate. The Really wierd thing is, I got it to work off my partition by compressing the original then decompressing…
#Strange Problem II
Message #139960
Strange Problems Part two I found a way to make it work. It still doesn't answer my question, but I am now reasonably sure that something is going on with whatever (Library, handler, Devs) controls the data transfer from one device to my Hard drive. What I did was copy…
I Don't think it's really a Tech support problem…I've been playing around with it a bit and it's getting really confusing now. This is what I've done. #1) open shell and place prowrite floppy in df0: #2) issue- COPY DF0:ProWrite RAM: #3) CD: RAM #4) RUN ProWrite #5) Presto! It…

Message #139835
Hi all, I'm the proud owner of a new A4000/30. Which is a vast improvement over my old A500. I've been spending the last few days trying to get my system up the way I want it but have run in to a coupla very strange problems. For some reason…
#Internet from Amiga?
Message #139775
I've been reading a lot about hooking up to internet lately with the Amiga, but I'm rather confused about a few things mainly because I know so very little about internet in general. My main question is: In reguards to MOSAIC and AmiTCP and such, do I need to actually…
#Floppy Problem
Message #76527
I really can't recall if I've had a disk stuck in the drive for sure, I know there have been a few times where I had to play to get them off (mainly due to loose metal flaps on the disk or the spring in the floppy deciding to unspring)…
COMPUTE snafu
Message #76526
No, We DO carry the Amiga Version of Compute…Have for the last Year….Although as Denny probably knows, it seems sometimes our distributer sends us the wrong ones. We do however have the current Compute! w/Amiga in our store. Craig Glaser ASM Software Etc (Milwaukee)
#Floppy Problem
Message #74452
Hello, Can anybody tell me what to look for if my Internal Floppy is very sensitive–That is, The slightest vibration will cause it to think a disk has been removed. This is VERY frustrating during copy operations or compression since it usually results in an abort or a damaged file.…
Simply Specify a negative number of buffers, and that number will be removed. I.E. ADDBUFFERS DH1: -10 will remove 10 buffers from DH1: (This is only under 2.04+ of course.) Craig Glaser
