ProScript
Message #24963
Dear New Horizons: The university I attend has free PostScript printing and so I would like to output ProWrite files in PostScript format. I've seen ProScript V1.0 at the local computer store and had them try it out but the file didn't print. It was created on ProWrite 3.0.1 and…
Thanks for the info. I have no idea what ROM release it is (I only got it a week ago?) but it should be fairly recent. Will I get both the ROM (if necessary) and the sii-ICDPATCH from GVP or can I get that from you ppl? Warren Briggs, OVC'92
#HD Parking?
Message #8352
Looking for a bit of help… I just recently purchased a 52M GVP Series II for my A500. Do I need a parking utility or is it "autopark"? It seems strange just turning off the power to the whole kit'n'kaboodle system with one hit of the power bar but is…
#AdSpeed & GVP Series II
Message #17028
To ICD: HI…..I purchased AdSpeed at the show in Toronto in November. Just this past week I got a 52M SCSI GVP Impact Series II…. When AdSpeed is running at 14MHz, it screws up the hard drive (I get a series of "Error reading drive DH0:" and when it turn…
Thanks for the advice! Warren
Sure thing….. A-10 Tank Killer was a beast at 7MHz, but with AdSpeed the 'ol "WartHog" is cutting up the battlefield (T-80 soviet tanks don't stand a chance….). I keep getting nailed by SAM's, though… I also play "Battle of Britan" at 14.3MHz. It really makes a difference when there…
Thanks all for the swift replies! 🙂 I have a GVP with 2M arriving tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to convert some images. Thanks again…. Warren

I bought the AdSpeed at WOC in Toronto the end of November. I haven't left 14.3MHz since…. I love it….my A500 loves it…. Not a single incompatability problem since then….. Well, one…Wayne Gretzy Hockey…but then I just flick the little switch I made and am a stock A500 and the…
#Scanner Converts
Message #6217
Help! To any graphic gurus out there…. The computer lab at the veterinary college where I go to school re recently hooked up a scanner to a PC they have up there. It supports the following formats: 1. Pagemaker (TIFF) 2. PC Paintbrush 3. PCX 4. PDA 5. TIFF (Uncompressed,…
Yeaaaah! I have a healthy 1084S again! I left it overnight and it came back the next morning just fine! Whew…. Then again, it would've given me an excuse to get ICD's FlickerFree Video card and a simple VGA monitor!! 🙂 Thanks for the advice…. Warren….VET92
#monitor/magnet!
Message #4328
HELP!!!! My 1084S just went screwy…..can somebody help me?!! *8^) See…I brought this magnet we took out of a cow's reticulum in surgery today a little to close to my screen a few minutes ago and now it is discoloured in that area (like, it doesn't match the background colour).…
Thanks for your help…I'll look into the libraries and see if I can find that utility package….certainly be a lot easier than prying open my poor 500…. 🙂 Warren
Thanks for the info….I'll be sure to look into it when I hit that show…looking for good product at a reasonable price, basically..! 🙂 Warren
Thanks for the info. I feel pretty confident about this sort of thing (done it once or twice in the past)….that is, opened a computer! 🙂 Just what will the modification involve? Will it render potential add-ons like the Racer or a hard-drive incompatible? Just a vet student, Warren
Thanks muchly for the info..! What do you know about the transfer rates of the "new generation" of SCSI controllers? All I read about is the GVP Series II+, the Supra 500XP and the Trumpcard Prof (which is the only one that quotes a transfer rate of 1.9M / sec).…
Aha! Talk to the source…best thing going!! 🙂 So, will the MEga MIdget Racer be compatible with an Adram? Warren E. Briggs 71621,2261
Thanks for the help…. BTW, how will I know when I open up my 500 if the Agnus is the 1 1meg version or not? You mentioned something about a hcip thats CHIP number? Warren E. Briggs 71621,2261
