Canon CJ10
Message #35459
I'm trying to find scanning and printing drivers for the Canon CJ10 bubble jet copier/scanner/printer. Has anyone gotten this machine to work with an Amiga? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
And when the sand was gone and the time arrived, In the naked dawn only a few survived, And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge, Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge.
Tom: Re your spelling of this great country – been reading Steal This Book lately? Roger
Pat: I live in Stamford but have not been able to find a local user group. However, the last page (`And furthermore…') of the July issue of Amazing Computing contains a story about a very successful Amiga `event' at Bassets (now Borders) book store on High Ridge held in April.…
Chris: Thanks for the Seagate numbers. I'll call 'em. Roger
#Seagate -> GVP HD-8II
Message #91441
I'm trying to connect a Seagate 157N 48 MB drive to my GVP hard drive. There are two things I believe I need to do: change the Logical Unit Number (LUN) on the Seagate and add a terminator pack to the Seagate. Does anyone know how to do this? I…
MT-32 Caged Artist
Message #27262
!!!! WANTED !!!! I'm looking for a copy of Dr. T's 'MT-32 Caged Artist', a Roland MT-32 editor and librarian. Unfortunately, since Dr. T's released X-OR, they've discontinued their Caged Artist series. I'll gladly pay any reasonable amount, plus any shipping, for a used copy with documentation. Or, perhaps someone…
Ric: With all due respect, that's got to be the stupidest position I've ever heard a software publisher take with regard to a user's suggestion. By your comment, 'dropping WordPerfect is a decision that has already been made,' do you mean to say that once a decision is made at…
Melissa: Thanks for the tips. I haven't seen too many keyboards for under $600 (here in NYC) that DON'T have the auto accompaniment, etc. Maybe you could suggest a few kb's you've worked with, with SJ that're in the $800-$1,000 range (these'll typically discount here for under $700). Thanks again.…
#SuperJAM! & MIDI KB
Message #16724
I'm looking for a MIDI keyboard to enjoy my SuperJAM! even more than I already do (if that's possible). Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I looked at the Roland E-5 today at Sam Ash and it sounds great. I guess it'll handle 8-32 note polyphony, depending on…
Rodger: Subliminal Seduction (and its sequel) most certainly does NOT only deal with sexually-oriented subliminal advertising. One of the most fascinating ads illustrated in the book is one for a bottle of scotch. The copy urges the consumer to think of just how much he really does love his buddies…
Michael: I was in Las Vegas last week for the Winter CES and I noticed CBM was doing some tremendous advertising in the daily trades. All of the ads were for CDTV, but I believe what's good for CDTV is good for the Amiga. By the way, the ad is…
andy: That's funny – I also have an SX-64 and I was reminded of the same thing. Considering it was circa Osborne I and sported a 5" COLOR monitor, it was quite advanced for its time. Roger
Steal This Book was written by Hoffman, not Rubin. You're getting your Chicago Seven mixed up. Roger
Denny: Isn't there some way to flip one of the edge connectors, with a ribbon cable maybe? Roger
andy: I presume the A690 is a CDTV-compatible CD-ROM drive for the '500? If so, where does it go, on the Expansion Bus? If it does go on the expansion bus, then could it run on a '1000, if the edge connector is flipped somehow? Roger
'2000 w/ BB for Sale
Message #40675
FOR SALE – Amiga 2000 Dealer Demo Kit ===================================== Comes with: 3 MB RAM, 20 MB HD, BridgeBoard w/ Janus 2.0 and 5.25" drive, CBM 2002 RGB Monitor, lots of software — all manuals included. I'll pay for shipping COD. $1200 OBO.
Jim: Yeah, it's a continuous roll – no perfs. Sorry. Roger
Jim: Actually, I bought several cases of paper and ink carts directly from Canon when I bought the printer. Let me know if you get desperate and I'll send you off a box of three rolls. Otherwise, try Canon. They should have plenty. Make sure you get the clay-coated type…
jp: Thanks. My Canon prefers a special clay-coated paper, too. And it also makes a great deal of difference in the quality of output. But, it's not THAT expensive and it comes in rolls – more economical than single sheets, but not as preferable. I gotta check out what the…
Richard: Too bad. For over a year, I've been uploading my PS output file (from PPage) to my service bureau uptown, who dumps it and delivers it COD within four hours. Roger – via Whap!
Susan: Isn't that funny. A local HP dealer told me the same thing – the painjet looks better for color, even though it has 35% less resolution. That's how important having true black is. Hmmm. I really need to compare the output side by side. For b&w, I'm very happy…
Robin: Who makes the LC10? What printers is it supposed to be compatable with? Roger
Marion: If you're still looking for that CHOP utility, gimme a buzz. I'm in NY. Roger
John: Yeah, it helps a great deal, thanx. I've never really thought about the point you made concerning dpi & dithering. By that way of thinking, my Canon is really 42 dpi. Geez, and y'know, it really doesn't look half bad. So, how does black look on the DJc? More…
Jeff: I have a 9-pin color (Star NX-1000) and a Toshiba 24-pin. I know 24-pin printers can look pretty good but I just don't like the way color dot-matrix output looks. On lower resolutions, it's too light for good color saturation and at higher resolutions it mutilates the paper. I…
#Good $500 Color Printer
Message #12709
Can anyone recommend a good color printer for around $500 – $600? I've been reading a bit about the HP PaintJet, but I haven't seen its output. Is it clean? How're the colors? Is there any banding? How's the speed? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Roger
Donald: Which CD-ROM drive do you have? What're you using to read from it? Did you just plug it into your SCSI port on the back of your 3000? Roger
There's also a new Landscape radio button from the DM Output requester.
Yeah, I have the basic 35 CG package. Got it for $99 when I first bought PPage 1.x. How much are the additional CG sets? What's available?
Darlene: Got it – it's great. I wish I understood a bit more about how the fonts worked. I'd like to add more PS-compatable fonts, but I want the screen fonts to look as good as the basic-35 ps-compatable CG set I got from GD. Are more CG fonts available?…
Dave: Yes, 2.1 does fix all those bugs (including the corrupt file bug). It's great – I just go mine last week. Roger
Ben: How can you say don't even think about Professional Page if fax is in your future? I've been using PPage with AE SendFax for months with excellent results. And since PPage will create a separate outline font cache for each resolution you use (200 x 200 in fax), recipients…
Gary: How about a program that converts PS fonts to CompuGraphic (or Bullet) outline fonts for WYSIWYG typesetting on PPage. By the way, I use PPage and PDraw extensively. Roger
Tell me about it. My wife has it 5 weeks a month. P.S. Electrical Banana is gonna be a sudden craze …

Amiga for serious DTP?
Message #36190
DonovaN: I use my '3000 along with various digitizers, scanners, laser printers, etc. to generate a number of newsletters and other critical documents (like contracts, amendments and so on) on a daily basis. I agree DTP is much more of a pleasure with the Amiga than with any MS-DOS based…

14.4/CIS
Message #36189
Don: Certainly 'licensable' is a word. In fact, it's what I do for a living. I'm a licensing agent and the very first determination I must make before representing a new concept for licensing is determine its licensability. Roger
Betty: Well, that's curious. Another member (Rob Kummert) left a message recently that he's had the same exact problems with Whap and the AE DL2000 w/ MNP. Roger
Paul: Whap doesn't like my MNP modem either (Applied Engineering DL 2000), even if I disable MNP.
Vic: Thanks, but I'd rather not make a big deal out of it. It appears a message offended someone… Roger
Don: Thanks. I have a fairly good idea how the SIG software operates. The message was, however, deleted. Not scrolled off. Roger
#Whap! Message Mystery
Message #27785
Steve: A couple of weeks ago, Rob Kummert left a message on this forum about his problems Whap! and his DataLink 2000 modem. Whap! would crash on him whenever it attempted to dial CIS. I replied to him that I had the same exact problem with Whap! and my DL…
bill: That's them. Muchos gracias. Roger
#IRQ Blues?
Message #27306
I have a Kronos autoboot controller and a C Ltd. 48 meg hard drive that recently crashed. I've salvaged the drive and low-level formatted it, DOS formatted and restored all of the salvaged files. However, I'm running into a problem I had when I first bought the drive: whenever I…
Robert: The 1000 does require a non-standard parallel cable. Just ask for a printer cable for the Amiga 1000 from any large mail-order firm. He'll also want to select the approprate printer driver (EpsonQ for a 24-pin Epson and EpsonX for an 8 or 9 pin – I'm not sure…
MiGraph & Golden Image
Message #6586
Can anyone give me some feedback on the MiGraph (or Golden Image – I understand they're the same) hand scanner? I'm looking for something to replace my Digi-View for quick B&W scans but don't want to pay for a flat bed type scanner. How susceptable to hand jitter is a…
Jim: Yeah, actually, I do qualify for the teacher's discount, but it looks like I don't need it. Roger
Steve: Thanks for the quick response. Yeah, actually I'm getting the second MB of chip RAM and a second internal 3.5" drive too. As for the monitor, I've done that and believe it or not, prefer the 1950. I'll keep my original 1080 (with the matte finish!) hooked up to…
