Joe; The sysop will probably get back to you on whether or not its a free update but I've seen the disk in quite a few Dealers for approx $14 so my guess is that it must be purchased. But what the heck do I know! Ena
Steve; I think the key is if you hang up. If you lock up its quite conceivable that if you sign on quickly & do a US you will see your ID still there! I admit its not that long but if you wanna test it dont type anything &…
Mike: Excuse me breaking in here but YOU (not YOU personally) should _take care about all the guys there, that send all the newest german(& european) s/w to the USA to let it be cracked!_ This is becomming more & more prevalant here as u.s. developers are starting to take…
Michael; While its true I have found a good dealer unfortunately its not in detroit! Now Im not sure if this can help (remember I only have a 500) but Commodore sent me a list of participating dealers who accept the 500 offer. Im sure there is a good chance…
#Diskca.arc info
Message #93300
All; The file in the toolbox says _Does not work with 1.2 prerelease kickstart_ Will that work with the Amiga 500? Thanks. Ena
Dave; Well there I go again!!! I believe Ron was speaking of the A1000etc I was saying what my experience was, thereby saying that his experience wasn't out of line. (in the ny area.) Maybe its because we have a large infiltration of cut rate merchants here who sell everything…
Don (or Teach); Thanks again, with the info I have gotten here I now at least have a footing. I appreciate all the help. I have buffered the answers I got here & they are like a mini-tutorial. I guess this is what makes the Amigaforum. I hope to be…
David, Without wanting to speak for Ron, I believe he meant the dealers! Remember he's speaking of ny here! I also had lots of trouble finding dealers who would take the user group coupon, & this was working from the commodore supplied list of participating dealers! They seem to have…
Don; Thanks very much! That clears it up. 1 question though. Say you have a diskload of prgs that were downloaded with the df0:filename command. Is there anyway to write a directory for them (after the fact as it were) or to copy them to another disk to include them…
Steve; Thanks. Ena
Rick; Could you please explain the difference between PRI and STD when reviewing your charges? Are they merely used to tell the access time s? Thanks. Ena
#Help
Message #93150
Help!; I realize that at this point I should be digging in my pockets for some tutor pay since this sig has been just that to me and hoping not to be tooo much of a bother I submit my next (hopefully last) query. What is the best way to…
Len; No problem on the info, but maybe you could clear something up. what exactly would make a transaction in colorado not within your budget? In my case (while Im in the states) using mail-order not only saved me lots allowed me to get my equipt. quicker, allowed me not…
Dave; Any comments/thoughts on the _subsystem_ by Pacific Periphs? (they have an ad on page 83 of Dec 1987 Amiga World) Among their claims 1)Use Cards designed for the 2000 with your 500 2)Give you 2 xpansion slots for the 2000 3)space for an optional floppy It fits under the…
Kelly; Thanks for the tips. Im always in the market for anything that makes life easier! Ive buffered your msg to print out (If and when). 1 thing has made me curious though, whats the 73, mean? Thanks again. Ena
Ted; THANKS MUCH, as I said it was something simple, going back to that "trying to run while learning to walk" theory I guess one of these days I should sit down & start right but for now I thankful as heck for CIS & people like you & ben…
#DIR help
Message #92997
Anyone who can help: I am having a problem with the simplest of AmigaDOS cmds, the DIR cmd In the A500 manual it states "You can even look at the directory of a disk which isn't currently in the drive.For Example, the comments of the freshly formatted disk we relabled…
Pete; Just a note but the Amigaterm manual is in ERROR, whenit states word length 7. On CIS when using B-Protocol it wont even download at 7. (Although viewing text is no problem). Next time you might wanna try 8 just to see if it makes a difference. (I havent…
Bill; Pardon my interuption here but that rings a bell with my problem. Would it be safe to assume that the regular IBM par. prnt. cable will not work directly? The printer supports Epson Emulation but the Amiga keeps telling me to check my cables.The cable Im using is not…
The C2002 is a Commodore monitor that was designed to be used with ALL commodore computers. The only difference is between the cables. (IE the 64 gets 1 cable the 128 gets the rgb & composite & the Amiga gets the 23pin I would guess that because of this (its…
#Okidata 180
Message #92825
Does anyone know if the Okidata 180 can work with the Amiga? It has an EPSON emulation & since it can work on the IBM also it has a parallel port I notice in the Amiga Book it says that the 192 & the 92 have 2 versions & that…
Ben, At this point, being such a neophyte, I was looking to build a sort of computer aptitude test. By downloading the various general types I could see what catches my eye. I would like to learn to program on it (So any utilities etc. can never be excess) even…
Rodney, Thanks for the specifics, Ill give them a call! Does it have an individual power switch for computer or are the 4 outlets tied together. Later, Ena
You know Ive been looking for a swoggle for some time now! Thanks for the explanation, it cleared some things up. Oh yes its Ena. Thanks Again. Ena
David, Thanks for the sound advice! Im trying to run while learning to walk & I quite often trip! Im getting to the editing start sequences now as it seems thats needed to gain full control of your "personalized" Amiga. Ill hit the bookstores on Wed. & Ill keep an…
Thanks, I tried all day yesterday & could not get it to start downloading at 7 bits. I read a file in dl0 or 1 that also said that so I at least got that straight. Thanks Again. Ena
Don, Thanks. Ill get arc now since most files seem to use it. Ill look for your suggestio ns Ena
#P.D. Recs
Message #92554
Please help an Amiga Newcommer. I would like anyone to suggest some noteworthy p.d. programs that are on the dl's. Im afraid I dont know much at this point but would like to dabble in all aspects of the Amiga. So be it games, art, music,productivity,programming ANYTHING! I have heard…
Len; My husband pointed out that we looked thru some 25-30 magazines for mail order companies & that it would be next to impossible to duplicate that volume of pages Fortunately he reminded me that anything that even remotely looked promising we wrote down. SO while I downloaded the virus…
I ran across it when attempting to find the cheapest route to go re: the amiga 500. MAYBE I should have stated that its for an Amiga 500 The problem I had was it didnt accept the U.G. Software upgrade! (There are PLENTY of dealers who are on the official…
Im NOT sure whether you are willing to take a beating on your system BUT I have seen ad's for a $99 Amiga w/a trade in of your 128/1571/1702 While I agree you could "probably" get better prices it may take time and effort/expense.(IE returned cod's etc..) On the other…
Ben; Pardon my interuption here but I would "love" to get a new (read that 3rd party) power supply (After successfully fighting the urge to put my similar looking yet 5x as heavy 128 power supply on using my strip as the on/off strip!) Deciding that I liked my A500…
