>>That's the I expressed and the availability of a word processing >>or spreadsheet application isn't going to change that That is your . Jerry, for someone who condemns the zealousness of Amiga fanatics you go to the opposite extreme with cynacism. Are you so close minded that you won't even…
>>I seriously doubt that anyone is troubling themselves to optimize their >>Amiga code for the 68060 – or will in the near future. Jerry, Your negativity shows, I do not know why you try to underrate Amigas and Amiga owners, but I am currently beta testing 2 commercial products that…
#ESCOM – UUGH!!!
Message #208241
Exactly. Escom is familiar with the European market, North America (and the rest of the world) is an unkown to them. It will take some marketing research before they feel comfortable pushing Amigas here. I am just tired of the tirade of "Guess what those idiots at Escom did this…
If you can afford it go for the 030. You will be pleased, I promise! Most come with room for more than the 8 megs of fast Ram, that the plain 1200 has, and most come with a scsi interface or at least for the option later, and about the…

Phillip, Didn't mean to sound like the 030 wasn't faster than the 020. just that the differences where minimal, when clocked at the same speed. I read somewhere that there was only a 20-30% differnce between the two, clocked at the same speed. I am not a (as Dale would…
#A1200 Accelerator?
Message #197280
While no expert, from my understanding, there is little difference in the 030 and the 020 except as follows, the 030 comes in higher clocks speeds and has the MMU built in (except the EC030). The most cost effective speed increase would be to add some fast ram to the…
Hilary Try Daniel Wolf, here is here on CIS frequently, has excelent prices on all types of drives and support better than any I have dealt with, he can also provide the active terminator (mine cost >$40 from him). His CIS address is:70250,626. I think you will be extremely satisfied…

Eriks explanation made sense to me , don't really know Hilary, but having heard other wonder stories on active terminators, I decided to try it after talking to daniel wolfe, I ordered one from him, and have not had any scsi struggles since. . The Sony, sounds like a good…
Hilary, The active terminator I HAVE, is a little tiny box, a little bigger than a par or ser gender changer, with a 50 pin centronics connector. I had no instructions but yanked all the terminators off the external drives and pluged this end at the end of the 50…
Hank, YACDP was one of the ones I hand in mind, the `right CD drive' you refer to is a scsi II drive, although come to think of it, I seem to remember some restrictions to that list too. Hilary if you catch this you may want to download YACPD,…

Hilary, I have been fallowing your quest for info on CD-Rom with GVP. My 2c: I am running an NEC (notorious for incompatibilities) on a GVP series II controller externally (also have a scsi device internal) with NO problems whatsoever BUT I have an active terninator on the end of…
INTERNET WEB ACCESS
Message #194568
Van, That was a very clear explanation of TCP and PPP, from what I have read, that was approxiametly what I had gathered, but was unsure. Thank you very much. ..Steve Cruising on Autopilot from beautiful Coastal South Carolina
Dege, That must have been an old message! Further in the thread, I admitted an error, I actually was talking about the MFII not MFIII. ..Steve Cruising on Autopilot from beautiful Coastal South Carolina
No problems! ..Steve Cruising on Autopilot from beautiful Coastal South Carolina
Dan, I never said you couldn't keep the 8 megs of ram, and a video card, I said you couldn't, with the video card you had (or most other modern video cards). I did not mean to come across as a know it all, I had just followed your post,…
Paul, You may not remember, but Dan posted here a few months ago with sour grapes about purchasing a GVP display board that used 2 megs of ram in the autoconfig, and not being able utilize all of his 8 megs of ram. Myself and others tried to explain to…

Jochan, Thanx again! I beleive I have everything installed correctly, but am having a few problems…using the startnet file you gave I got error messages, ie $ppp0IPLocal bad value $ppp0IPRemote bad value ect, (these were snapped from your post) upon return to the original startnet file these went away, another…
Jochan, Thank you very, very much for the concise instructions!!! I will print this file out and attempt this in the next day or so (waiting on the upload of PPP v1.30 to become available). I already have MUI installed on my system, so that is no problem The one…
Andre, I have AmiTCP4.0 demo,PPC v1.23, AMosaic v1.2, ect (all in the libs here). Can you give us a blow by blow on how to set up and use this stuff on compuserve? I have seen Mosaic & AmyTCP in action and it looks awesome! ..Steve Cruising on Autopilot from…
#GVP
Message #192061
Dan, I am afraid I can not share your attitude towards GVP. The have made some innovative products for the amiga and priced them competitively. They served use well when they where in their heyday. Times are hard for all amigoids, vendors and users. They hung on as long as…
Tom (& Paul & Jim & Karl & all the others), Thanx for all the info! The Supra it is! Now just waiting for CIS to open some 28.8 nodes! ..Steve Cruising on Autopilot from beautiful Coastal South Carolina
Jim, What is the price range of the PPI 28.8? I do like the idea of having support on CIS. I too, have heard good things about PPI. ..Steve Cruising on Autopilot from beautiful Coastal South Carolina
Thanx Paul, A local sysop is trying to talk me out of the supra and going with the USR Sportster, saying the supra has a hard time talking to his USR. While the Courier I have now, has served me exceptionally well, I have heard the sportster is not even…
Bummer, I was looking for a small (cheap) 2.5 inch for my CD32. Thanx anyway, that is a good price so they should move quick. ..Steve Cruising on Autopilot from beautiful Coastal South Carolina
#28.8 modems
Message #189803
I am planning on getting a 28,800 modem in the next few days, anyone with any suggestions as to which work well and which to avoid? I am leaning towards the Supra model. Thanx in advance, ..Steve Cruising on Autopilot from beautiful Coastal South Carolina
Scott, What is the form factor on those IDE drives? 2.5 or 3.5? ..Steve Cruising on Autopilot from beautiful Coastal South Carolina
Carl, I hope this does not cause any confusion, but I erronously stated "MY Multiface III card …" Should have read "MY Multiface II card…" I in fact have a MFC II not MFC III. ..Steve Cruising on Autopilot from beautiful Coastal South Carolina
Pete, SetCpu is a program by Dave Haynie similiar to the CPU command in your c: directory, it is in AmigaTech as SetCpu.lzh. I do not know if it will work with the 3000s softrom or not (seems like it should). Your syntax seemes correct. Good luck! ..Steve Cruising on…
Carl, Regardless of what the ad says, MY multiface III card has 2 parrellel ports (currently I have a printer hooked to one, a DSS8 audio digitizer to the other, and a DCTV to my motherboard parrellel port). A USR HST to the MFIII serial, and a LineLink 144e to…
Carl, I got my multiface III from Creative Computers around $100 avout 8 months ago. ..Steve Cruising on Autopilot from beautiful Coastal South Carolina
Gracia, I would think that it should, but I have no first hand experience, then again will a 4000 even boot to 2.x? From my understanding all you need is a functioning MMU for SetCpu to do it's magic (no 68ECx0). But I have also heard the 040s MMU is…
Pete, With the 3000, you do not need a ROM switcher. There is a rom image grabbing util here in the libs (can't remeber the name) that will save your rom image to a file. Reinstall your 2.0x roms, grab the image, save it to a file. Reinstall the 3.1…
Dale, Are Irving and Medhi invited? ..Steve Cruising on Autopilot from beautiful Coastal South Carolina
Jerry, Directory Opus is one of the utils that if available for the clones would make me seriously consider changing platforms. It is that useful! Manuvering around DOS with the available utilities is downright painful after life with Opus. This may be like your attempts at installing OS/2, you may…
Jerry, >>I found both DiskMaster and Directory Opus to be unstable. Really? Dir-Opus, is one of the staples of my machine, never any problems at all, and I run enforcer and other debugging tools. If Dir-Opus is unstable on your system, you must have something else in the back ground…
Thanks Dale, The port switcher is the ticket! Why didn't I think of that? (duh) There are some great Euro games out there, (and I pride myself on productively using my Amigas!) and the selling point of the CD32 for me was the number of titles available and 80% of…
#Hot port switching
Message #182657
Dale, I hope I remeber right, that you had stated you were involved with 8520 emulations on the AGA machines. If so, I have a question maybe you can answer. I recently (pre Xmas) purchased a CD32 for my son (over strenous objections, but there are a LOT more CD32…
Ben, Is a problem with Apassist or the calling program? Can it be fixed, ie env. variable, tool type ect? Not very important but usefull. ..Steve ====>>> Motorola 68030 Inside
#Apassist
Message #98074
Ben, The test version of apassist just placed in the libraries works great (so far) but apassist still HAS to be in c: to work. I use a cx: for all non CBM commands, it is in my path and works great for 95% of whatever I put there but…
Michael, I believe the Enhanced Chip Set consist of at the least 1.3 kickstart, 1 meg agnus, and super denise. I just recently upgraded the Denise in my 2000, but got the 1 meg Agnus as soon as it was readily available. To the best of my knowlwedge the bigest…
I agree completely, our community is to small for the movers and shakers to have any animousity towards each other.
Mark, I did not mean to come down on you, I have the utmost respect for you and your contributions to the Amy community. In short when you post here I do listen. Some goes for Jim Drew and a few select others here. Most I do take with a…
#AMIGA Internat'l is in
Message #178798
Mark, I normally sit back and watch these exchanges between the `Pros', but you are starting into the personal attack area with Jim. While most of us here are skeptical of any unofficial news or rumors, the arguments you are using against Jim go beyond the topic under discusion. I…
Scott, Would you consider selling the 2320 deinterlacer alone? ..Steve Cruising on Autopilot from beautiful Coastal South Carolina
Robert, What I get from the those statements, acknowledgment that some of the properties and practices in religion are of value. I don't argue that, there are many redeeming qualities and unquestionable morals set forth in christiananity, Thou shalt not kill, steal, ect. But I see nothing here that qualifies…
