I whole heartedly agree with your statement that unless the Amiga can get out from under the stigma of being a "Game Machine" it will die out. As evidence of this I submit this. I am a member of the ACM and of their Small Computer SIG, and in a…
Thanks for the info Tom. When I picked up the printer I made sure I got a black ribbon. The color use I will get out of the machine will be the minor portion of my usage.
#Color Printing
Message #51967
I have just obtained a Star NX-2420 printer. I was wondering if there is a Word Processing program that will allow me to print out color text in a document. This would be most helpful fo my buisness. Thanks,
Color Printer Software
Message #51759
I have just recently come upon a Star NX-2420 color printer. I am looking for some software for it to print color text in a document. Sort of like highlighting someone who justed performed very well on a test. Could someone tell me of a software program that would allow…
David, The problem is not a boot problem. It is that the machine visits the GURU more often than not. I will check out the CIA chips and let you know. I have also ordered 2 Air-drives as replacements.
David, Even better I set up an appoinment with him to remove them and replace them. With the knowledge gleened from you brains on this system I acted like I knew how long it would take. He seemed surprised but agreed he coul change then in about 45 minutes (for…
David, Just to set the scene I live in Hawaii, on the island of Ohau. There is onlt one dealer that performs repairs on Amigas here. And YES he knows it. As I said in an earlier post, I can't prove it, but several times I have taken my machine…
Don, I will let my tech, work with them. Remember, Chip with shoes.
Don, I am almost totally hardware illeterate. If you can think of a chimp with C knowledge you have a good impression of me. WTF, is a CIA chip and how can I find out if I have a bad one. Without taking it to the dealer and having him…
Don, I hate to break in on a thread, but I have a related prolem. My problem is if I boot my system with a disk in the drive I end up visiting the GURU. Well the problem is that now if I push a disk into the drive after…
David, Thanks for the info. It got really bad the other week, but I think I had a program that was corrupt, (old original disk). Once I geot rid of that program the GURU errors drop to minimum (4 to 5 a seesion), but I am leary of the DF0:…
#WordSynch Drive Problems
Message #6390
I have recently found a problem with my hard drive (actually it found me!). I visit the GURU several times a session. It only happens when I boot the system with disks in the drives, if I boot with no disks in the drives I have few problems. But once…
Brad, I got my copy BEFORE it hit the stores. I oredered it from the main office. You must have a credit card though. If you want moer info please drop me a line.
Nope. I've got it installed on my hard drive and have been playing it. Kinda funky tho' It will not load from the Workbench, you must use the CLI if you use the hard drive. A freind uses the floppy version and it seems to work fine. We got ours…
Mike, Well said! I too have a lesser version of Lattice C, 5.00, in fact and Lattice has been more than helpful in upgrades. I have not been informed about the upgrade to 5.1, I'm sure there will be some cash involved, but cheating the company will get you NOTHING…
