Micheal, IMHO, the USR COURIER V.EVERYTHING is the only product I would consider from USR at this time. Any V.34, that doesn't support V.FAST, might leave you dissappointed. The Supra 28.8, when their done with it, will support both. Gosh, if your coming from 2400, even 14.4 will be a…
Steve, Keep us posted if you come up with a good answer… // Gary Vander Mei on Auto-Pilot \X/
Dick, That light is like a bus activity indicator. When any of the disk units are active, they will come on.. // Gary Vander Mei on Auto-Pilot \X/
I have a 28.8 running on one node, and a 14.4 on the other, with no problems. I have not seen a need to have the port running higer than 38400 either. There are many BBS programs available. I personally use Xenolink. It is very fast and effecient with ram.…
George, What ROM set does it have in it? You probably should go with a new 2.1 kit with ROM. If you can't find one, I have them.. Or, heck, maybe it's time to get a 3.1 kit…. // Gary Vander Mei on Auto-Pilot \X/
Well, that busy light usually means improper connection. Like your wires are reversed. Also, are you sure you have your termination set correctly? Also tell your 3000 it must recognize LUN's now. Each disk in your changer will have a separate LUN. If you would like to try a different…
Wayne, You can get the disc from Fred Fish also. Not to mention quite a few other titles for the Amiga. Write for a catalog or order the Aminet disc and get the info. with it. Aminet GOLD 19.95 + 3.95 S&H Aminet SHARE 11.95 + 3.95 S&H They are…
No Christmas sales would only hurt CD32 sales if any. People who need A4000's will buy them as soon as they are available. If they wanted quick revenue they would make some parts like Ramsey and DMAC chips. If 4000's came out at reasonable prices, I would buy two…. //…
>>Mine is several times as large. 🙂
Oh, I'm sorry, wrong model number. I have a MODEL 512. Twelve and a half inches across, approx. three inches high and about five inches deep. With a twelve tube display. How does that compare? // Gary Vander Mei on Auto-Pilot \X/
Norm, No they do not have a passthrough. You would have to buy a tee if you didn't want it as the last external unit. Although it does come with a terminator. If you need a tee I can get you one. Male to male centronics cable too..:) // Gary…
Norm, If you are using a Amiga, I would go with MiGraph. They make the software and modify the hardware to work on the Amiga. I am using a MS2400 on one of my 3000's now. Working flawlessly so far with the A3000's SCSI port. Very friendly with the other…
WOW! Somebody else has one. Got mine from my Dad. Circa 1974…. // Gary Vander Mei on Auto-Pilot \X/
Yeah, I got a Commordore calcuator. Weighs about 20lbs, only does M-D-A-S and uses tubes for display. Even has a wood grain veneer finish. Sound familiar? // Gary Vander Mei on Auto-Pilot \X/
Jeff, Try dumping LZ and grabbing LX. It is much smaller and faster. Can be made resident. Same author. Hasn't choked yet…;) It is in the AmigaUser Librarys I believe as "LX.LHA". // Gary Vander Mei on Auto-Pilot \X/

Modem
Message #164238
Jean, If you just want a cheap reliable external modem for your 3000, check out a Infotel. The price is just $85 with fax capabilities. I have two of the 14.4 versions and a V.FC version. GPFax 2.346/7 works great with them. From Midwest Micro 800-552-8080 Product #004765 14.4 External…
Eberhard, In my ASIM CDFS software, it has a prefs editor selection called "HFS Fork:". You should be able to select from "data", "resource" or maybe even "MacBinary II". If you have anything similar to this change it to "Data". Report back on what you find out… // Gary Vander…
Eberhard, Could you copy one of the directorys to a message here. This way we may be able to decipher what those files actually are. Try this; Select a directory where you are trying to get pictures, then type; DIR >Ram:dir.txt Go back to AutoPilot and write us a message.…
Eberhard, The only files you can use end in ".GIF". Their may be TIFF and other formats that you probably have no use for let alone ability to use. // Gary Vander Mei on Auto-Pilot \X/
Hey Bruce, IMHO, Quantums are the most Amiga friendly drives I have found. I have two 3000's I work with regularly. I have tried four brands and only the Quantums appear to work with no problems whatsoever. I would suggest any of their LPS series of drives. Although they are…
Sending in the disk is a security feature more than it is saving the price of a disk. I have sent my disk to Dr. Perry with no problems. You should be using a copy of your master disk for everyday/backup uses anyways. It's not that expensive either. Believe me,…
Daniel, The problem is the drive is made by Maxtor.. Amiga owners must enabe one of the reserved jumpers for some reason. Contact Maxtor (18002Maxtor) as to your particular drive. // Gary Vander Mei on Auto-Pilot \X/
David, When you select Postscript printer, select panel number 2 when the 3 postscript prefs panels come up. Set DNS/ANG to Ignore. Go back to panel one, hit return. Select PAR: and make up a name and hit return. You should now get a full DPI printing. Gary Vander Mei…
Robin, About your SCSI in a 3000 question. There is room for any size SCSI drive inside the cabinet of a A3000. Either two 3.5's or one 5 1/4 drive can be fit with no extra hardware. Except for a extra SCSI drive connector for a second drive. In other…
File Listings
Message #155361
Alvin, You are way to used to Aladin. AmigaUser alone has over 2000 files. Go to AmigaVendor and download the archived (.lha) catalogs. There is one for each section. Are you using AutoPilot? This is the nearest equivalant of Aladin. Except Aladin is not from Compuserve and you have to…
ED, >>Are you on our mailing list?
Dale, The portable top-load units are being dumped right now by everyone. The internals are still in demand for the reason you sight. You can get a NEC CDR-84 Multispin (NEC recertified) for $179.00 from JEM Computers. (617) 497-2500 For an additional $20 you can get the Multi-session version of…
Douglas, You haven't installed any new SCSI devices lately have you. These type of problems can be caused by improper termination. If not I would try some of the Disk Repair programs out there. Do you have the program DiskSalv? You can find it in the AmigaUser Librarys as DKSALV2.LHA.…
Robert, There is always UPS Three day select and GroundTrac. This is UPS ground with tracking. The very minimum I would suggest for large and heavy parcels. If the package is shipped you only have to give them a tracking number to find out the problem. (If the problem is…
Chris, I have found that the only way to get 300 dpi working with the new driver is to set the "ignore DNS/ANG" gadget. Why can't you make that requestor stick with this setting. Everytime I want to print I have to set that requestor manually. Also, I can't get…
Jim, I have two of the 1414VQE (14.4 version) and one 1428VQE (28.8 V.Fast version). I find them to be very reliable. They come with a RTS/CTS capable cable and all have Fax capabilities. They have the V.Fast -28.8- versions (1428VQE) available now for $187. // Gary Vander Mei on…
Edith, Select Prefprinter as your saver. It will bring up a window which you can configure called "Output". Go to the "Project" menu, at the top left of your screen, and select the "Print to" item. There you will have to select between Preferences and Primera (Dye Sub). All Set……
Paul, >>is there a good comms package that you can suggest to use to access CompuServe from the Amiga
Alan, Expert Services has 3.1 available. Voice 606-371-9690 FAX 606-282-5942 BBS 606-282-5943 A2000 – $100 A3000 – $150 A4000 – $150 // Gary Vander Mei on Auto-Pilot \X/
Ron, >>My biggest complaint is eventual availability of a voice mail>(either on the box or in ads,
Alex, Just to clarify things, the disk I had problems with was the exact disk I received with my SupraFAXModem. I couldn't use the patches to upgrade and whoever printed the disks didn't put the serial numbers on them. This really compounded the problem and annoyed me to no end.…
David, If you wish just a fast decompressor for lha and lzh files try LX.LHA in the AmigaUser Librarys… // Gary Vander Mei on Auto-Pilot \X/
Trent, >>does not like bad phone lines (just like I have )
Trent, Yes, I have the 2.346 version also. I bought it directly from Dr. Perry at GP Software. It has worked very well so far with four different brands of modems I have tested. I have had much better luck bypassing Supra also. // Gary Vander Mei on Auto-Pilot \X/
Robert, When I had a bad version of GPFax, Supra was of NO help to me. Numberous pleas for help were met with form letter respnoses. Only Dr. Perry offered to help me out. He sent me a replacement disk all the way from Australia. Supra had such a "don't…
Alex, GV>>they only have license to sell the Supra-only version.>Sorry but that's wrong. Supra has from the beginning>the demise of Commodore, doesn't help the decision-making process
Kevin, I am glad to know someone has had some luck with Supra Customer Service. Maybe after some of my calls and letters they changed things. The fact being is that when I have called them I have got responses from "what is an Amiga" to "I think someone here…
Joe, Get the program by Dave Haynie called DiskSalv. Run it in "Repair Mode" and evrything should clear right up… You can find it in the AmigaUser Library under DKSAL2.LHA. A must for all Amiga owners IMHO. // Gary Vander Mei on Auto-Pilot \X/
Dale, >>He said that Supra has a license to distribute the current version
Janusz, With a 14.4 modem the 19200 setting is enough. With a 28.8 modem I have kicked it up to 38400. The highest transfers I have seen are around 3300 with the 28.8. They say in the specs that these modems are capable of 230,400 bps. In the real world,…
Alex, >>Supra currently isn't distributing the newest (2.346) version
Rafael, >>We are in 1994. Email should work. What are computers for?
Rafael, GPFax v2.346 is not a patch upgrade. It is a whole different program, so to speak, designed for modems other than Supra's. The only way to get a hold of GP Software reliably now is by snail mail. (What's fifty cents?) GP Software 21 Aloomba Road ASHGROVE QLD 4060…
If a few thousand rabid Amigans called your 800 number from clear across the country and you didn't have what they wanted you would be a bit miffed too…
Richard, >>Do you have a phone number or address for Midwest Micro?
