Ron, "Adapting" the Jumbo drive to the Amiga is perhaps an over simplified statement. Remember the Amiga has no floppy controller, thus we must use the Amiga hardware in conjunction with software to use floppy drives. In the case of the Jumbo drive, this turned out to be _quite_ an…
Betty, The QICTAPE demo is primarily intended to show just how the software operates, i.e. how files are selected for backup, how the scheduler works (very versatile and easy to use..), and some of the other important parameters affect it. You do NOT need a SCSI tape drive for QICTAPE.…
Wayne, Yes, QICTAPE as shipped provides the tape drive mounted in a compact case, which also houses a power supply and cord. A cable connects to the external floppy port on the Amiga, where the data transfer takes place. (You can also plug it into the back of any external…
[ continuation ] any of the members here, and had hoped this may be a good place to post the notice about QICTAPE. I trust you feel the same way, though you may have some reason not to. Reid Bishop- M.V. Micro
Don, A. No, I do not work for Progressive and thus do not know the list price. Even if I did work for them, I would not know as even they have not come to a final determination as to the price of this product. B. I am a principal…
> Is there any possibliity of tapes bigger than 60MB? As of this time, no, though that does not suggest that larger tapes may not be available for this drive in the future. There is talk of possible going to a 120 MB tape in this format. Even so, the…
Brian, I assume you were asking _me_ if you were registered with us. Yes, you are… -Reid Bishop M.V. Micro-
> What is the current version of B.A.D.? Current version is 3.15, which follows a chain of minor bug fixes since 3.0 was released. Sometime this month all registered users will receive a postcard detailing the newest version of B.A.D., which will be a _major_ upgrade. This version will implement…

> Can you check my name with the data base… Greg, I checked thru the database and you aren't entered in it. If you cannot find the registration card, I'm afraid the only way for us to register you is for you to send us your original disk. BTW- the…

> No serial # on back of disk… Yep, I guess early releases of v2.0 did not have the serial # printed on the disk. No problem, as Mark double checked the first database and you are entered in that. We are transfering all that data to the new format…
I had similar problems long ago with an Alegra board for my 1000, as well as recently with a Hurricane '020 board. This type of GURU can usually tracked down to a bad ram chip or two. The Alegra problem was due to DRAMS that weren't fast enough for it's…
Dom, Sorry bout the long delay- I too have plenty of things keeping me away from CIS AND my BBS. I am sure you are now validated on my BBS, though I have not uploaded the DS-8 protocall on the board. If you would like, I definitly can upload it…

Music-X protocols
Message #11951
Dominick, you certainly may use my protocoll. It's not _quite_ done yet, but it will work on most of the things you want it to. I run a BBS here in Denver, so maybe you could get it off of it. The phone # is (303) 469-9862 – The Arvada…
