#A2620 & SETCPU help
Message #60947
Got a problem for you. We just sold a customer an A2620 board to add to his A2000. He also has the AT Bridgeboard in his machine. He has found that if he puts SETCPU 1.4 in his s-s and uses the FASTROM option, the machine crashes with a GURU…

#A1000 1M Agnus Project
Message #49532
Count both myself and a friend in for one. BTW, something I'd appreciate if you'd keep in mind, there are alot of us out here who did the Amazing Computing 512K upgrade along with Dave Haynie's autoconfig mod, so we already have 1 meg A1000's. I realize this conflicts with…

Software Rental Bill
Message #43432
It seems like it could be brought up again even if they had heard the case and decided. Look at Roe vs. Wade and how people are trying to get the Supreme Court to reverse the decision. Greg

A2500??
Message #33162
Just to jump in to this discussion, I recently came across another incompatiblity with an 68030. This time it is a hardware/software combo. One of the NASA machines we support has a Ronin '030' in it. Of course to run correctly, the 68000 has to be removed. This means you…
AREXX Date() Bug????
Message #32947
I think I may have found a bug in the date() function in AREXX. It was working find until 31 Jan 1989. It apparently does not understand 31 Jan and says the date is 00 Feb. If I change my system date to 30 Jan, date() says 30 Jan. And…
CED and AREXX
Message #5220
I just got CygnusEd Professional and it's great. I immediately started experimenting with it and AREXX, writing a small macro to remove the 'More [Y]?' from my UseNet message files. Here is what I started with: * This program removes 'More [Y]?' line from UseNet files*/ address 'rexx_ced' beg of…
AREXX Problem
Message #32397
I just got AREXX and am having a small problem with file I/O and I thought maybe you could help. Here is a sample program that illustrates the trouble. * Save BBS Connect Date and Time */ address command say open(TEMP,'dh0:AT/Board.temp','W') say open(BBS,'dh0:AT/BoardDates','R') do while ~ eof(BBS) NextLine = readln(BBS)…
Protection schemes
Message #7156
Jim, As I told Brian of 'DongleText' a good while back, when the dongle is in the machine is not the problem. It is where the dongle is when it is not being used. In the last 5 years I have had 2 clients who, against my advise, have used…
Be sure and take a look at X-CAD. I have a friend (a draftsman) who has both and he is very disappointed in DynamicCad, but really likes X-CAD.

WHAP Help
Message #1188
Jim, I don't think this is the problem as I have both sent and received EMAIL within the last 2 weeks under this ID but I will give it a try and let you know, (or WHAP will let you know) ;^).
#Whap problems
Message #1053
Jim, I've just starting using WHAP! and am having a little trouble. I'm using WHAP! 1.2D and Access!1.30a and everything seems fine when I first log on. I can see WHAP! going thru and setting my DEFAULTS. All goes well until it types G EASY. CIS sends me the message…
#Maxiplan
Message #134247
Henry, I have 5 clients that have been using Maxiplan Plus 1.8c for over a year with virtually no problems. (By virtually no problems, I mean 3 machines have not crashed in almost a year. 1 machine has not crashed in over 9 months and the other has not crashed…
PD software
Message #130721
Seeing your association with AMICUS PD stuff and your {past|present|future|} association with Amazing Computing, maybe you can answer a question for me concerning a type-in program in the latest issue of AC, e.g. the BASIC DIRECTORY SERVICE PROGRAM. What is the status of this program with respect to my typing…

#BlitzDisk
Message #128835
Last nite a friend asked me to come over and help him out with a problem he was having setting up the BlitzDisk program he received with his FastFonts disk. We had no problem getting it to work on his floppies but were never able to get it to work…

#Big RGB Monitors
Message #128019
/ I have a client who is looking for a large screen RGB monitor for use with an Amiga. I know that Sony makes a 25" version of the KV1311CR and I think some other sizes in between, but does anyone else make something in the 17 – 25" range.…
20,000 LEAGUES
Message #107476
What is the story on 20,000 Leagues under the Sea? I keep hearing rumors that the source was lost to a disk virus and the project has been cancelled. Others say it will be out RSN. What's the real scoop? Also, how much longer 'til the Diga upgrade is out?…

Steve, see my message #103521 to Don. GREG
Don, I called and talked with Tod at CTS this afternoon to discuss our our problem to be find out if he had heard anything about it. He was not aware of this specific problem but said he would call CIS and talk with them about it. He has been…
Steve, It looks like we are all in the same boat as I too have a CTS2424ADH modem. I have tried a friend's modem (also a CTS) and, of course, his did the same thing. Is it possible we are seeing some sort of 'buffer full' handshake problem as I…

#CIS Problems
Message #103217
Don, I've been having problems with CIS and 2400 baud that may coincide with the new forum software that went online a while back. Maybe you can offer some help. I've been using 2400 baud since CIS equalized the cost with 1200 baud and have had no problems until recently.…
Don, I appreciate all your help in this. I have found the problem. Apparently there is a bad file in one particular directory. When ever I try to list this directory in any way whatsoever, I get a "disk error – task held" GURU. No matter what, I just get…
Lloyd, The reason the Xerox 4020 requires the Diablo C-150 driver is probably because the dip switch on the back of the 4020 is set for C-150. I don't remember which one it is, but one switch selects either C-150 or 4020 emulation. The 3 units I have seen all…
#Hard Disk Crash
Message #100045
Don, Well, after 9 months I finally had my first HD crash. I had a power glitch (luckily, very rare) while writing to my CLtd HD. The glitch was fast enough so that my Amiga did not lose its mind, but my disk drive sat there and clucked to itself…
#DIGA!
Message #97782
I'm looking forward to the Diga! upgrade as so far I find it the best around. One question tho, I realize that it may be too late but are ya'll looking at including the new CIS Quick B download protocol. It sure would be nice and would keep Diga! from…
Cltd upgrade
Message #97292
Robert, I didn't use the X FMT at all. I just put the PAL in and moved the drivers and stuff over to my WB and booted with it. Later, Greg
WCS boards
Message #97285
Dave, Two people have brought me machines that they tried to do the Amazing Computing 1 meg upgrade with your autoconfig mod. I have done quite a few of these myself and seldom have any problems. I was able to get the machines with the memory still at 80000H working…
Rick, Diga really doesn't need a direct auto redial command. You can write one as a script file and call it any time you want. Here is an example: LABEL REDIAL SEND "A/" GLINE 0 ON "CONNECT",LOGON,"BUSY",REDO,"NO CARRIER",REDO DELAY 2 GOTO REDIAL LABEL LOGON PASSWORD …… etc. Dial the number.…
Robert, I got the CLtd PAL and upgrade about 2 months ago and did not have to reformat. I was told that I only had to reformat under the new system Zf I wanted to get the increase from 22 to 24 megs. I didn't want to take the time…
PageSetter Upgrade
Message #96242
Arno, I've heard that there is an upgrade for PageSetter and that it is $10.00. Is this correct and, if so, do I need to send my original disk in too, or what? Thanks, Later, Greg
Bill, I received my new PAL and software from CLtd about 6 weeks ago. The drive is noticeablely faster and now formats to 24 megs. I hae had absolutely no problems with it. Maybe they lost your name? Later, Greg
We would be interested in beta testing your new Fast File system here at Johnson Space Center. We have 3 Amigas and are currently developing Computerized Exercise Motivation Software for use on Space Station. We have a 43 meg Byte by Byte Pal Sr. system and a 30 meg CLtd…

Well, I would like to see it set up so that it would install itself in DOS like Blitzfonts does, so that it would be there no matter what program calls the printer.device. Later, Greg
Thanks, Don. I'll give it a try. Later, Greg
#Undelete
Message #84243
Don, Well it finally happened. I deleted a file that I really needed. And of course, no backup. Question is, what will recover it? I thought I had read that Dave Haynie's Disksalv would do it. So I tried it on a test disk. I formated it, copied one file…
Yes, Chris, just be careful not to duplicate the complete prompt. Later, Greg
Bill, I realize that it is the program's fault. I just want to be able to do something about it, irregardless of what program I am using. I think Ben Blish has the best idea, that the handler, after receiving the abort command, reroutes the rest of the file to…
Thanks, Ariel. Glad to see some other NASA people that recognize the Amiga's potential. Later, Greg
Christopher, Sorry I didn't make myself real clear. In the message where you were describing how you downloaded the message base and showing the command you typed in at the *Function* prompt, you typed the full prompt including the ':'. Many of us use scripts with our terminal programs to…
Ariel, I guess down here I don't think of there being more than one. This 'JSC' is Johnson Space Center, Houston, TX. Later, Greg

#Printer Handler
Message #83897
Gene, A few of the programs I have will work this way, but many of them won't. I've tried taking the printer offline and even turning it off. The requestor comes up and I click 'CANCEL' and off we go again. I have done this for as much as 1…
#Printer Handler
Message #83896
Ben, That sounds great. Smart and simple. Now if we can just get you to write it in all your spare time, hehehe. BTW, I've been showing your SCHEME demo to several groups here at JSC and they are showing some interest. They may be getting in touch with you.…
