#19115 Digiview & VCR Message #19743
From: Desi Villaescusa Amiga Vendor Forum · NewTek October 30, 1990 1:16 AM
No, you missed my point I think. If I videotape from a color camera and digitze then it will be b/w. But what if I hook up the color whDi Hopefully, I'll try it soon. BUt I don't see why it wouldn't work. P.S. I have a HamE for sale.…

Here's a thought. If I take a blank tape and my color wheel to a friends house and set it up with his camera (which I can't borrow, hence the effort) and video tape three images of something, red, etc… Then take it home and play the tape into digiview….…

From: Desi Villaescusa Amiga Tech Forum · C Programming September 30, 1990 3:04 AM
Could you give me the address? That was $40, right? I used to hang around Usenet, and I know of Matt's rep. I'm sure it's a gr great (sorry) program. I just want to save the money I'd spend downloading the PD version, basically just for the address. 🙂 Thanx…

Well, this is what I have so far: Blockout – 3-D tetris like! A must for Tetris fans!!!! Great!!! Multi-tasks beautifully!!! BattleChess- Need I describe it. Multitasks well. (Why is it the only Interplay game to do it???) MindWalker- Yes, the old classic. Works well, except the sprite shows through…
#Info on C??? Message #912
From: Desi Villaescusa Amiga Tech Forum · C Programming September 23, 1990 3:48 AM
Okay, I am thinking of downloading a C compiler, but I don't want to spend all that time (read- money) and end up with the same thing that happened when I bought Modula2 (Benchmark) and found out I had to spend more money (or time in this case) to get…

Here's an interesting question. What are the best games for the Amiga that (And this is a biggie since I'm a sysop!!!) MULTI-TASK!!!! ???????!!!!!!!!!!???????? I'll probably get Blockout because it looks better than Tetris and it Multi-Tasks!!!! Also, I only have 1 meg, so I know (or think atleast) that…
#117689 #14MHZ for Amiga Message #118535
From: Desi Villaescusa AmigaTech Forum · Expansion Hardware September 1, 1990 2:02 AM
Not to interrupt, but I saw the topic and figured you might be the people to ask. I downloaded a file a few days ago that shows a fairly simple hardware hack that would let me use a 16 mhz 68000 in my A500. (Not that I would do it.…

From: Desi Villaescusa Amiga Vendor Forum · NewTek August 31, 1990 3:18 AM
Okay! Since you asked! 🙂 I was there when you were talking about digitizing from a VHS (And since I had just ordered and was intending to do that, I was interested). The discussion seemed negative, however I got mine and was VERY happy with the results!! I even get…
Flicker cable?? Message #114506
From: Desi Villaescusa AmigaTech Forum · Video Hardware July 26, 1990 1:01 AM
Okay, I can't remember what magazine, BUT (That's a hideous start, huh?) I saw an advertisement for a cable/hookup type thing that says it reduces 90% of the flicker in a standard monitor???? Did I get it right?? Any ideas??? Might it work??? I think (Don't quote me) it was…
#17869 #Digiview & VCR Message #17881
From: Desi Villaescusa Amiga Vendor Forum · NewTek July 21, 1990 10:16 PM
Okay, so it appears that I won't be able to use digi-view until I can afford a b/w camera at $200 or a digital freeze or 4 head VHS at $600 and up. Is this true. Now I understand that the color digitizing takes 3 passes, but for b/w, couldn't…
#Digiview & VCR Message #17854
From: Desi Villaescusa Amiga Vendor Forum · NewTek July 20, 1990 12:55 AM
Okay, I just ordered your Digi-view Gold digitizer, because I just won a HamE (Which I don't have yet) and the only thing it supports other than it's own paint programs is your digitizer, somehow. So, I am getting it. Question, I intend to digitize from a VHS or Beta…

From: Desi Villaescusa AmigaTech Forum · Drives/Controllers July 11, 1990 10:59 PM
Thanx!! That was lots o help!!! I paid $35 for it and an Adaptec 4000A (Which I haven't tested yet.) so I feel much better!!! I was wondering about the Park: 307!!! OOOHH!!! Hey, that's just about enough room for Dragon's Lair!!! I can bring my friends over. That big…
Cheap HD question Message #110839
Okay, here's the situation… (My pare… No, sorry) I picked up an adaptek SCSI to ST506 interface and a 20 (Although only 10 meg will format, everything after cyl 304 is listed as "park:307" according to the info sheet ????? And, yes, the last 307 won't format? HD CHEAP… So…
Modula II beginner Message #110838
From: Desi Villaescusa AmigaTech Forum · Other Languages July 3, 1990 3:48 AM
All right, so I'm cheap!!! The fact is I just shelled out more money than I should have and bought Benchmark Modula II from this guy. At first I thought there were files missing, because a fairly large percentage of the files needed a library called SimpleDBuf. And I couldn't…
Citadel doors? Message #108507
From: Desi Villaescusa AmigaTech Forum · Telecommunications June 12, 1990 10:54 PM
Hi, I just spent lots of time downloading Citadel BBS, since SoftSpan has a quirk that makes it unuseable for me. (When a user hits enter by itself on a menu choice, it pops him into chat mode and won't disconne. So I noticed Citadel supports doors, great! So I…
SoftSpan BBS Help Message #108268
From: Desi Villaescusa AmigaTech Forum · Telecommunications June 11, 1990 12:27 AM
Has anyone set up the Soft-Span BBS and had it run well? I set it up and it works smoothly EXCEPT (You knew that was coming) if I OR THE USER hit a return at a menu without entering a command, it gets popped into chat mode, which locks up…
