Message #210244
Is anyone using the Chinon 525 CDrom drive with either Shapeshifter and Emplant? I can't get shapeshifter 3.1 to recognize it (although it does recognize my 535) and Emplant just wants to reformat it. Thanks. John

Octagon and Zip Memory
Message #197837
A friend of mine has an Octagon SCSI HD/memory card in her A2000. She just purchased 8-1meg Zips to install in it but after reading the Octagon manual it doesn't look like it accepts 1 meg Zips only 4 meg zips. Can anyone with this board confirm that? If that's…
Elva, I'll take two! John
Epson Scanners
Message #195912
Can someone tell me the differences between the Epson ES-300 and 600 scanners? I currently have an ES-300 and wanted to upgrade to a ES-600. Does the ES-600 have higher optical resolution (300×600 vs 300×300 in the ES-300 model)? Thanks in advance. John

I backup/import data/etc.. to and from my Messagepad 110 using my Emplant board, it works great! John
John, I've been having problems lately restoring back to my A4000 with my Archive Viper and Amiback hooked up to my warp scsi controller. I can back up fine though. I'm forced to put the drive on my A2000 and restore over my Amigalink network to the A4000 which is…
Kelly, On all AGA Amiga's when you hold down both mouse buttons upon bootup they will present you with a configuration screen. Just select PAL and best mode available and as long as your monitor/TV can do PAL your set. Hope that helps. John
Carson, On the memory problem, you could get Gigamem, a virtual memory manager for the Amiga. It will let you use your HD as extra computer memory. It's slow but workable, I used it alot on my A3000 and now on my A4000 for Pagestream (even though the A4000 has…
Don, Yes it has all those controls, and the screen is shiny. It's not flat, but the curve is about the same, in proportion, as my NEC 3D. John
Don, I just purchased the best Amiga monitor I've ever owned. It's a Mitsubishi HCD3905L9ATR, 20" monitor for $695. I know that's higher than what you wanted to spend but believe me it's worth it. It syncs from 15KHz – 38KHz and is a high persistence monitor so even interlaced…
#AmigaLink parent Co.?
Message #179120
Can anyone tell me the name, address, and/or number of the German company that makes AmigaLink? Spectronics seems to have stopped distributing it and I need at least one more connector. Thanks in advance. JMC

Message #178986
Can anyone tell me where I can get the various files I need to run a pd version of Unix for the Amiga? Is there any one source of information that you could get that tells you about the various flavors of Unix for the Amiga (eg. Linux, NetBSD), how…

Message #177998
I need to replace my A2000 power supply fan, it's making more noise than I do at night 😉 Can someone recommend a quiet replacement fan (model #, etc.) and/or the specs I would need to meet for a replacement fan? Thanks in advance. JMC
#Maxtor 345 IDE HD in A4?
Message #177997
All, I want to replace my A4000 12x Mg Seagate IDE drive with a Maxtor 345. I know with SCSI drives you use HDToolbox to inquire about the drive particulars and then go from there. How do you do that for an IDE drive? Any tips or tricks? Thanks in…
Tom, Where would I get Linux for the Amiga? I looked at the MIS internet site but I couldn't figure out what file(s) it was I needed. Could you point me to a site and which files I need? Thanks in advance. JMC
Keith, Call Mr Hardware in L.I., NY at 516-234-8110. He's been sellling A4000's and Toasters for months now. JMC
Paul, I'm not sure if it's the best but I like CNET. I'm also using the Multiface serial card, and I don't know much about FidoNet 🙁 IMHO a good BBS doesn't get in your face with alot of text screens and voting booths, etc.. My BBSers like to go…

#Mask for DMA to chip ram
Message #167505
Can someone tell me what mask to use to restrict DMA to chip ram only? My Derringer equipped A2000 locks up occasionally when transfering files with the networking software Amiga Link. I tried using mask 0x00fffffe, DMAing to the 24bit space and not the non-DMA 32bit ram on the Derringer…
Tom, Strike that last solution 🙁 I locked up again last night. Maybe you're right, there seems to be a problem with the Derringer. The A4000 and GVP accelerated A2000 don't lock up. I'm going to see if I can figure out how to restrict DMA to only chip ram…
Hi Norm, Welcome to the ranks of frustrated ADpro to Epson 300 scanner users 😉 You have to turn off your copyback cache to use the scanner with Adpro. That's the only way me and many others can use it. JMC

Just to share my MagicWB frustrations, I, stupidly, sent $20.00 cash to the author in Germany over a month ago and still haven't seen anything. If someone decided to pocket the cash, I have no proof and no program 🙁 JMC
I know I sound confused but are you saying just email my request for a Boing mouse pad to Internet:boing!dale? If so, I will 🙂 JMC
Thanks for the info Dale, Could you post the phone number for GfxBase? Thanks! JMC
Thanks Dale, I'll purchase two! JMC
I have the Miracle Piano software running on my A4000. It works fine. I don't know what they mean by "it doesn't work well on the Amiga." JMC
Where did you get Linux from? I thought it didn't support the 68040 yet, is there a new versio out that does? Thanks in advance. JMC
Thanks James, I'll check out that setup. JMC
#Industrial Video Setup?

I did receive a coupon, I filled it out for ImageFX 2.0, GVP sent it back to me saying they no longer handle 2.0. I guess I could scribble out the 2.0 order information and mark off that I want ImageFX-EGS but that's a pain and it could get confusing.…
#ImageFX offer for Spectr
Message #84804
After I purchased my GVP Spectrum board I ordered the ImageFX 2.0 $99 upgrade. I just received a letter from GVP saying that Nova will now handle 2.0 upgrades (so I won't be getting it from them) but it seems GVP will still do the $19.95 deal for Image-FX-EGS. I…
MacIIfx memory in A4000?
Message #151520
Is it possible to use MacIIfx 4meg simms in an A4000? A Mac person told me that they were special simms, only for use in an FX. JMC
PLIP cable?
Message #142998
I just downloaded the PLip file from the library. I wanted to make the parallel cable for this (possibly modifying my parnet cable) but I'm having a problem with some of the par pins. The plip doc says to connect ack to strobe, which pin is strobe (I know which…
I also have this same problem with my A4000/040, Buster 11, cpu 3.1. I have to turn all caches off just to scan. I also have a problem when using Gigamem and the scanner software on very large files (30megs or larger). I don't have any of these problems when…
