Thanks. This stuff is getting too rich for my blood. I am heading off to the great IBM clone world in the sky. Thanks again, bye
Thanks. Due to the Amiga being now omitted from even the Computer Shopper's obsolete computer list, I am just a ship deserting a bunch of sinking rats and am heading for the IBM clone world. It is not as exotic as the A-world, but is more stable and will last…
Thanks. I want to know your experience with the board, how does it perform do you use it with PageStream?, where did you get it and the cost. Can memory be added? the Kreuger Co. in Tempe, Arizona, has used tested memory for that, I think.

#Graphics printing
Message #67301
If you use tractor feed when printing graphics, you will get some over-printed lines and some skipped lines, due to the tractor pulling unevenly in the sprocket holes in the paper. When I print graphics on my MT-180L, I put the carraige in platten-feed mode — letting the platten grip…

I downloaded and tried this driver or one like it and could not get it to work right. It would do crazy things. I could not get it to go into NLQ when requexted to by Preferences. Then it would lock up system in strange manners. I reported by Compuserve…
I could make my MT-180L print with some of the drivers supplied by Amiga, but so far cannot issue Amiga escape codes to tell printer to say go into NLQ mode say with Proportional Spaceing and other goodie like that. I found in public domain a driver for the MT…
You need satisfied customers to bring in more customers. James Boatwright
Fine. I have a Mannesmann Tally 180L. The Epson driver and some others will make it print, but I have yet to be able to make it go into say the NLQ mode or/and Proportional spacing by sending the Amiga escape codes to PRT:. I've been programming computers since 1957:…
But how about Amiga drivers? Are full drivers available for bboth printers? James Boatwright
If C, would shut down all its facilities and lay-off all its working employees (not of course CEO's, etc.), it would sure save money!!! Just keep announcing products it is going to build and wath the orders roll in!! James Boatwright
Thanks for input. But how about driver for it for Amiga, etc? I have heard that it has non-epson codes — hard to program for. May be in same trouble as with MT-180L. James Boatwright
#Amiga/Commodore
Message #59357
What is the chance that the demise of Amiga at Los Gatos is the harbinger of the disapperance of the Amiga? I'll bet we'll see less than 10,000 of the A-2000's made, then no more Amigas at all ( The A-1000 is out of production now), just the Commodore PC…

How do you supply power to 2nd external drive? Commodore Amiga says even new external drives not designed to supply power for next drive in daisey chain. The Amiga cpu power supply is not designed to support 2nd external drive says Commodore. Commodore seen Commodore seems to say that if…
According to horses' mouth, Amiga, in Los Gatos, the "new" externam disk drives are/were not designed to carry thru the 12v power. If you get one that does, it's a fluke. Besides, the power supply in thw Amiga cpu is not desigened to support 2 external drives: if it blows…
