Shraddhan, Sorry for the length of time between your post and my reply, but thanks! I haven't had time to test out your code, but it looks good. Are there any good 68000 programming tricks books in print? Again, thanks! Greg Marquez
Steve, thanks for the tip! Unfortunately my Amiga is dead. I'm saving up for an A1200, though. . . 😉 Greg M
32 divide
Message #31293
Help! What's the best way to do a 32 bit signed divide on the 68000? Using just DIVS is no good on overflow conditions. Any sample code on how to get a "32 bit / 16 bit = 32 bit" would be VERY helpful! – Thanks, GregM

Its Lonely Here. . .
Message #21802
It's been pretty empty around here, so. . . Has anyone ever nuked a CDTV back to the "Insert Kickstart 1.3" screen? How about doing it by just booting a disk from the external floppy? I have! [You can tell I'm bored. . . 8) ] Greg Marquez / ECHiDNA-monotreme…

Help with C overlays?
Message #13430
(posted before, but I'll try developers 😉 ) Can anyone help me with a little problem I'm having with BLINK overlays under SAS/Lattice C 5.10a? It seems that when I have uninitialized global variables defined in a child node and then try to run my program, I get an "Unable…

Roy, I put my vote in for the IVS Trumpcard Professional. My configuration is an Amiga 500, a ToolBox, a Microbotics 8-UP SIMM card with 6 megabytes of memory, and a 3 week old Trumpcard Pro. So far it's worked WONDERFULLY. I too had problems with the Flash!Card (the one…
J. Scott, I'm using the IVS Trumpcard Pro on my A500/ToolBox. . .most excellent! (See my message to Roy) I'm about to try out the new ROM + config software IVS sent me. . .I'll keep everyone posted. Greg Marquez / ECHiDNA
David, The October 1990 issue of AmigaWorld has a review of the EXP-8000+. It seems that three out of four A500s they tested it on had problems with "brush" operations in DeluxePaint III and Digi-Paint 3. . .'problems' meaning 'crashing mightily'. . . Greg M

One final call for HELP!
Message #618
David, I've got 6 megabytes of fast ram and a 40 megabyte hard drive in my ToolBox (running off an A500). The ram is on a MicroBotics 8-UP SIMM expansion board; as 1 megabyte SIMMs are going for around $49 – $70, it's very easy to upgrade. I had to…

AREXX
Message #95593
Hey, all, What's the easiest, most efficient, least costly, most rewarding, least time consuming, most honorable, and least carcinogenic way to add AREXX support to a product? I remember reading somewheres that there are degrees of support, but for the past 6 months we've been working on an MSDOS (AARRGGGGHHHHHHHH!)…
I guess I should say who I am also. . . Name : Greg Marquez aka R. G. Marquez aka Cheshire Dragon aka God knows what else. . . Company : ECHiDNA, quite frankly the best little monotreme money can buy. OK, so that's not really our company slogan. How…
Clint, I don't know about that, you prolly could lure quite a few out with Pizza ™, the programmer's brainphude. . . 😉 r. g. mARQUEZ \|// _– // (sleeping) ECHiDNA
Mike, Once 1.4 was stable enough, I would prolly be [trying to] run everything under it. . .no prolum there. . . I would vote for the two library solution. . . R. G. Marquez \|// _OO // (caffinated) ECHiDNA
Well, from the volume of messages here, it seems that the developers are coming out of the woodwork {he said sarcastically 😉 } Well, since we're all s'posta be developers, what is everyone out the developing. . .and why? Please type your answers, essays should be 3-5 pages, double spaced,…
Denis, Does your Impact A500 take SIMM memory? (I think the newest ones do). If so, I can recommend Delta Lu Electronics in Laguna Hills, California. Thae last batch of 1 Megabyte SIMMS I purchased from the came out to $70 a megabyte after sales tax. . .The unit price…
Thanks, Clark, I'll check with them. Greg M
Hard Drive, Which One?
Message #93877
Does anyone out there have any advice on using a hard drive in an Expansion Technology ToolBox hooked up to an Amiga 500? I want to get a hard card that will also work with an A2000 on up, but I don't know which to get. . .I've heard some…
Betty, Thanks for the info. Anyone out there have first or second hand experience with a "Bill's Board" add on? (WHat I'm getting at is "is it reliable?") Thanks. Greg Marquez 71777,2612
