Agreed. We've had a bunch of 2000's here at JSC (NASA) here in Houston with a board in every single slot (including CPU and Video) for over 2 years with not problem whatsoever. Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
Don, About a month ago on USENET, Harry Diamond told someone that he could buy UNIX for his 2500 immediately after the UNIFORUM conference in Jan. Maybe not official, but close. 😉 Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
Yes, McDuff's is owned by Tandy. Here in Houston they also sell the Tandy PC's also. In addition, Tandy has just started opening a new chain of high-end electronics stores called "The EDGE in electronics". They sell camcorders, CD players, calculators, etc. Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen…
A McDuff's here in Houston sold a customer a 500C for $499 and then charged him $499 for the 1084S monitor!!! He really got upset when he found out that he could have bought a 500P with 1 meg and AmgiaVision, a 1084S and a external drive for the same…
Ok, Thanks. Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
Art, One thing you might want to try as a further test is to spin the fan with your fingers as you switch on the power switch. If it starts up, you've found your problem. Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
Betty, Does CIS charge extra for 9600 baud and is there one in Houston yet? Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
Chris, Whoa, whoa. The Color Splitter belongs to us, MicroSearch, not SunRize. 😉 Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
ASDG, How do we know what version we have? If I do an 'About' it just says Version 2. Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
Ben, Ben. Slow down. All work and no play….and all that. Remember, there's such a thing as too much support! One of my HAM-E customers says he's tired of me bugging him to come by and get the latest and greatest version. Says it's too much of a good thing.…
Don, Seems like if you go back far enough, almost every thing was developed from PD code. This could be alot of fun watching what happens on this. Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
Mike, I am testing one of the SendFAX modems. It seems to work with no problems. It only takes up one slot (actually only about 1/3 of a slot. It's a short card). I have had no problems with it. Installation and setup were easy. The SendFAX program works by…
John, There is a good possiblity that the problem is caused by a bad fan. If the fan won't start, the power supply shuts down. Is you fan running when you start it up? If not, it's worth a shot to have a dealer take a look at it. Greg…
Bill, Let me jump in here with a little info. However be aware that I am somewhat biased as MicroSearch has a long-time afiliation with SunRize Industries ( makers of Perfect Sound). Version 3.1 is the latest version. It has been out long enough that you should not have a…
Pete, Normally syndicated shows of this type have both! They have their own commercials and they leave blank space for you to insert your commercials. This is the way many, many shows are handled… i.e. Soul Train, most of the syndicated sports and fishing shows, many of those shows you…
Hate to be the possible bearer of bad tidings, but there is a possibilty that nothing was wrong with your power supply. This is the symptom of a bad fan in the power supply. If the fan is open or shorted the power supply will attempt to start up and…
Bob, The MSS program for sideways printing was called "FlipSide". Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully

Kelly That's why I also run one of the noclick patches separately. It takes care of the problem. Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
#AmigaFAX program
Message #8410
Has anyone been able to get the PD AmigaFAX program to work? I have been trying out the Applied Technology's 2400 baud internal modem with MNP5 and SendFAX options. It appears to work great and the price is reasonable. However it only sends and doesn't receive. It would be nice…
This is strictly hearsay but I have heard from 2 separate, ususally reliable sources, that they have alot of problems trying to keep the things running somewhere under the melting point of lead. Said you could almost fry an egg on the top of the case. Apparently 50 mhz is…
One problem with this idea is that in many cases the first error you see is just that…the first of several. Then what happens is that you lock out the bad track and then fill the rest full of data. A week later you go to pull some data off…
I like the companies that are starting to use 'REAL' popcorn as packing. Pull the gear and pop the shipping box into the microwave to warm it up. Great! Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
Didn't SETCPU 1.6 correct this? When I was using 1.5 my title bar said "FastBench release". However now that I'm running 1.6 my title bar says "WorkBench release". I changed nothing in my s-s. I'm just using "SetCPU FastROM". Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
Ok, just picking nits here, what about the skyscrapers here in Houston that contain both business offices and condos? Not on the same floor, of course, but on adjacent floors. It's a big deal in the ads. "Walk to work and never leave home". 😉 Greg Greg White / MicroSearch…
Steve, some drives are keyed, some are not. I think the biggest problem is that most connectors are not keyed. I have 3 different brands of SCSI connectors in stock, bought at different times, and none of them are keyed. I will check, but I don't think the cables CBM…
Well, maybe you could just tell them to mark your place in line today and then you'll bring the board back in two weeks when your turn comes up. 😉 Sorry, I don't know what to tell you. Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
Donald, Glad to be of help. Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
Nevin, Glad it worked for you. Yes, We are the Pro Football Sim nee Head Coach Co. When did you buy your copy? To the best of my knowledge they are working on an upgrade to be out soon. I'll check and let you know. Greg Greg White / MicroSearch…
Daryl, You didn't state what kind of system or HD controller you are using, but if you have one that uses the mountlist and mounts from the startup-sequence with a 'mount dhx:" command, take that command out of your s-s and do it manually when you need it. However you…
Ben, What does the FCC do in a city like Houston, TX that does not have zoning? It is specifically outlawed. Course that means that Exxon can just plopped that new chemical plant right in that field next to your subdivision. 😉 Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen…
In the last day or so, Harry Diamond, CBM's Director of Education, told someone on USENET that the 3000UX would be debuted at the UniForum conference in Jan., that he (Diamond) would be there with ALOT (his caps) of his friends, and that the guy would be able to purchase…
We have hooked up several SyQuests to the external SCSI port on the 3000 with no problems. However it seems I remember at least one person on here having a problem. Don't remember details, tho. Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
Nevin, You've already seen Don's answer to your problem. Good suggestions, all. However if you eliminate them and are grasping at straws, check this out. I recently had a HardFrame and a Quantum 105 in the shop with very similiar symptoms. Turned out to be that the drive was getting…
I have seldom, if ever, found a SCSI connector that is really keyed and on many drives you have to look carefully to find the arrowhead that designates Pin 1. The cable is set up so that when you turn it over you ground all the signals on the SCSI…
Don, If you are saying that when you try to boot up, the HD lite comes on and stays on, then this is normally a symptom that you have the 50 pin SCSI cable hooked up backwards. You might try turning it over and trying it again. Having it hooked…
Alan, Just to throw in a few words here about Amiga repair since it's one the jobs I contract to a local dealer for. Did you ask them why they couldn't look at it for two weeks? Were they just backed up on service work? Was their tech out sick…
Well, I hope your price is right, rather than mine. However the retail and dealer prices I was quoted by Progressive support the $599.99 price..i.e. the dealer price I was quoted was higher than $399. Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
Sorry, I assumed ya'll were talking about 2 different things. Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
Sorry, after reading his answer to you about the memory being on the chip bus, I assumed you were talking about the piggyback mod. ^^^^^^^ Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
Greg, this is Greg 😉 I think what Don was referring to was what is known as the Amazing Computing Magazine 512K upgrade along with Dave Haynie's auto-config mod. This consisted of 16 64K x 4 chips piggybacked on the original 8 motherboard memory chips along with some decoding that…
Brooks, I need a little more information about your setup before I can give you more help. What kind of results are you getting and what is disappointing to you.. You might want to check the LIBS on here and download some of the sample pics done witht the color…
Stephen, Sorry to say, but with all the noises you describe, it sure sounds like you've got a dead drive on your hands. Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
Ron, As far as speed goes, I thought I'd heard a figure of 40 megs in 18 mins. Not exactly blinding speed, but since it is unattended and can be setup to start up in the middle of the nite, not too bad. Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We…
Brooks, I have run DPaintIII on a CBM '030 board quite a bit with no problems. I running a MicroBotics HardFrame controller however. Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
Stephen, When you say the drive wouldn't stop spinning, did you mean the that the drive access light stays on? As far as spinning goes, an HD spins all the time. I must say that it sounds like you are hearing the cries of a dying drive. Have you checked…
Ken, Well, from what I read in a message from Reid Bishop on here, it sounds like a fairly complex interface is used to hook the CMS unit to the Amiga. It may be possible, but perhaps not easy. Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
Nelson, If I remember correctly I WAS calling Beaverton. Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
Ken, If this is the one that plugs into the PC floppy controller, then I imagine it is possible with the correct adapter and software. Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
Wayne, That's what I was told by the person on the phone. I was given retail prices and dealer prices in various quantities. (BTW the dealer cost was higher than $399.) Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
#Version 1.2a seems fixed
Message #6788
To All QuarterBack Tool users: I just received version 1.2a and found some of my previous problems had disappeared, but I found that in several areas the program would lock up while munching on large partitions with a lot of files. On a hunch I checked the icon with the…
