#Booting Hard Disks
Message #106255
RE: HDBoot The ComSpec is not to `Commodore Spec' (pun intended, but true) so don't get confused. Commodore will boot from the HD at some point and when CBM announces a standard, all of us guys will adhere to it. From our position, we have been able to bend our…
#Wanted: Bugs!
Message #84504
We are in the final testing stages of a new hardware based debugger for the amiga. If you know of SERIOUS (Guru visits, machine locks up. . . etc.) flaws in Fred Fish or other P. D. Software, please advise. Programs for Aztec C will be given priority. My favorite…
Hard Drive Update
Message #74409
All: Sorry I haven't been here in a while, I've been unbelievably busy! We finished up the design to put a fan in our Hard Drives, and they will be shipping that way from now on. (Owners may upgrade for $39.95 + frt.) And have a new, faster, (here we…

Perry: Sorry, but you `begged' the question with your comment that your controller would be `comparably' priced to other controllers in the market! A follow up question would be: "To what controllers would you be `comparably' priced?" The ONLY controller now being actively marketed as a seperate unit is ours…
Yes Price is the major penalty, but there are some other more subtle prices to pay when DMA is used. Most notably in our case, our SCSInet would be virtually imopssible to implement on a DMA basis. (This is per the programmer of same, I will check further to see…

All drivers for AutoConfig Devices are Device Specific in that they call the Amiga `FindConfigDevice' routine to find out where the device is in the memory map. The call to find the device requires the use of the `Hardware Manufacturer's Code Number' provided by Commodore to all hardware developers. Without…

In addition to a `BindDrivers' able device, AutoConfig means that the device is actually `Configured' in to the Amiga memory map during the KickStart phase of system start-up. The protocall for an AutoConfig device (and the associated hardware required) is laid out in absolute detail by Commodore. (Lest I get…

The Seagate 225 is a 20 MEG MFM (non-RLL) HD. The Seagate 238 is the RLL version of the above. The Okidata 526 is the equivalent of the Seagate 238 with 10% more disk Capacity. (By the way, the Oki is faster than the Seagate. Both are 65 msec. drives,…

We have just announced our controllers for the 2000 and 500 at a suggested retail of $199.95. With normal dealer margins (meaning room to discount). Can Perry compete in that price range? Also we have a new driver which will be posted here soon that will (using Piskperfa or the…

We are! And a Simple look at the hardware will erase any doubt. For the more skeptical, startup the system and use the ROM KERNAL call to `FindConfigDevice' and you will see it ain't there.

Message #72763
John: I hear, but choose to wait for validation. By the way, i would be very interested in comparing the results of an out of the box I.B.M w/HD against and Amiga/HD system using your tests. Have you ever done so? I think a lot of people might be shocked…

hardrives
Message #72761
Sir: We offer a complete selection of components to allow the use of ST-506 (I.B.M. type) HardDrives on the Amiga. Prices start at a suggested retail of about $400.00. (average street prices vary by area – a lot) E.J. Lippert II C Ltd. – (316) 267-6322

Hard Disk Interfacing
Message #72758
Don: Not necessarily, Xebec also makes lots of ST-506 drives. And I think the Sider][ was ST-506, to check for SCSI look for the SCSI standard 50 pin connector. E.J. Lippert II C Ltd. – (316) 267-6322
Lee: We offer a complete package of components that can be used to do what you want. Prices will vary depending on mounting (internal or external) of the HD and some other factors. Call us for details. E.J. Lippert II C Ltd. – (316) 267-6322

hard disk installation
Message #72756
Brian: The Amiga expansion can be `flakey' but it in no way explains the problem you are faced with! The AmigaDos Format command CAN NOT perform a Low Level format because it has no facility to map out bad blocks. (Mapping is critical to Hard Disk operatrion.) So unless the…

hard disk installation
Message #72752
NOTE: If you had mounted the drive prior to formatting, then format, then access the drive, you will get a DOS error. After formatting you should do a DiskChange XXX: (DiskChance is in the `C' directory of workbench 1.2) [OOPS! That was supposed to be DISKCHANGE not diskchance , but…

Sidecar
Message #72750
Perry: Things here at C Ltd. seem to be growing a bit too fast for us to keep up with. The AmigaWorld HD reviews have prompted a bunch of orders, putting us in a bit of a back order situation. So it looks like were going to be playing `catch-up'…

Sidecar
Message #72741
Larry: Maybe, but We've found that, as in the case given, when a device works on two different Amigas and a similar fails to work on the same two Amigas, the devices are usually (stress usually as in 98%) more dissimilar than just component tollerances would permit; generally they are…

Message #72412
Don: All I know is: A> CBM requested (and got) 2 aMEGA Boards and 2 SCSI Hard Drives 90 days ago for testing. We have heard nothing since! B> A dealer has reported success with the aMEGA and Sidecar. Draw your oun conclusions? I don't have a Sidecar, and don't…

Jim: First, the FCC doesn't test anything! The responsibility for testing is up to the manufacturer. We must test and re-test until our products pass, then, and only then, do we submit the proper paper work (which includes the test data from a certified testing facility) to the FCC for…
