No, I would have to order it, and yes you do have to trade the old board for that price. Ben A Lott, Multimedia GraFIX
Wise decision. Ben A Lott, Multimedia GraFIX
I would advise AGAINST the G-Lock if you have an AGA machine (don't know what you have but thought I'd jump in here becuase…), 3 customers of mine who bought the G-Lock elsewhere and had A4000 had nothing but trouble with it and GVP kept blaming C= for changes to…
$345.00 for just the motherboard. Ben A Lott, Multimedia GraFIX
Stick a standard mouse in the CD32 port, hit reset hold the mouse buttons down. New mother boards are expensive especially since you have to update the CPU board as well (BIG BUCKS). Ben A Lott, Multimedia GraFIX
Wich Amiga do you have? I have an A4000/Emplant/Toshiba 3401B as well and know quite a bit about the problems Toshibas have with Macs. Ben A Lott, Multimedia GraFIX
#BUSTER REVISION
Message #146401
There is a way to see the bottom of the screen the CD32 has the same feature as the A1200, and A4000 hold both mouse buttons down before boot up and you'll get a screen of options, you'll be able to select PAL from the screen options. This should shift…
Oh well definately out of reach of warranty work *sigh*. BTW what did you think of the CD32 Gamer mag? Ben, Multimedia GraFIX
Leigh moved the midi stuff to PA and folded the rest. Ben, Multimedia GraFIX
The Warp does replace the CPU card. Ben, Multimedia GraFIX
I'd check with GVP on that one, the card itself and anything on it will most likely work, but I don't know how well it'll talk to your expansion boards, BTW how old is your A4000? Ben A Lott, Multimedia GraFIX
Now that Liegh's is gone, I've purchased a service account and do outcall service calls on Amiga product and machines, I also carry Brittish magazines and sell them mail order (or if you are close by or near one of my service calls I'll even drop 'em off for the…
The Rev -09 was not the only problem with the A4091, James. When the rev -11 takes the place of the rev -09 Buster the CPU card is also supposed to be replaced (3.0 to be upgraded to 3.1), for proper operation. Ben, Multimedia GraFIX
Oh I see the problem, unfortunately my solution was based on the Emplant not the AMAXIV (as a matter of fact the latest Emplant software doesn't even need to shut down the caches on the A3000/30), the only others I've heard from also had Emplants, the only other possible solution…
The Mag has demos of Pinball Dreams, Nick Faldo Golf, Donk, Alfred Chicken, and D-Generation. I t also has full versions of Cybernetix, Project Buzzbar, Microbes, AGA Megaball, and 11 other PD titles (PD versions of Shareware stuff is on there those still require SW fees for full versions). I'm…
What machine are you using>???? Theis is important because on my A4000 with the Toshiba 3401 drive I have to shut the caches off whenever I insert or remove a CD (I too have 1.6 BTW 1.52 is WORSE you have to leave the cahces off when working with the…
Well if anyone's interested I have a few issues of CD32 Gammer (British import with a CD included) left. Contact me if you are interested. Ben A Lott, Multimedia GraFIX (I used to be with Leigh Computer's before it's untimely demise).
Well if CEI attends won't they loan you machines? After all they are who C= would have gotten the loaners in the first place since they are thier distibutor. Ben
God that is unusually slow, are you sure there isn't anything running to slow it down? From my Emplant experience I haven't seen 16 color as being that slow , although I've only seen it on A3000's and A4000's. Ben
Nope you need more RAM ;-} Ben
Keep in mind that C= USA hasn't shipped CD32s yet, all of the units currently circulating are imports. Ben, Leigh's Computers
You know I've never paid attension to that (got real comfortable with 16 megs) Ben. [A
My pc controller isn't configurable either, but both are pleasant enough together as long as the pcfinishes it's setup (config.sys/autoexec.bat). As long as my PC and Amy don't try something at the same time I'm safe. BTW Asim's CDFS is for the Amiga for the Mac you'll need something like…
#129632-
#AMaxIV = YES!
Message #129731
I have my drive running between the IBM at one end and the Emplant at the other , I use the emscsi.device for my CD-Rom needs under Asim's CDFS to mount the CD drive and Scsimounter for the Syquest. BTW the CD can be used by the Amiga and IBM…
HA HAHEHE ;-} Ben Lott
The software developers must love the $$$$ they get from forced upgrades! Ben, (Hey they don't pay my telecom time no more free ads)
Some of the Mac software we've been getting has been MARKED as "AV INCOMPATABLE". Now that's a problem!!! Ben, (Hey they don't pay my telecom time no more free ads)
Well you definately have to see the new software on EMplant there has been a LOT of speed inprovements. Of course we'll probably see massive feature and update wars between the 2 products in the next few months. Ben Lott
Well I have 16 megs and it gives me 13 free, under 3.7 I don't know about 8 meg fast systems. Ben, (Hey they don't pay my telecom time no more free ads)
Trust me you don't want an AV Mac too many software incompatabilties (and that's with multimedia software). Ben, (Hey they don't pay my telecom time no more free ads)
Did you mention earlier that you only have 1 rev 2 pal on your 3.1 CPU card? I just looked at mine and there are 2 rev 2 chips. Ben, (Hey they don't pay my telecom time no more free ads)
Yes the PCMCIA card is only being held up by the connectors (gee that sounds strange when I read it back), we should see them in … March (the earliest they could get quantity from a supplier). Ben, (Hey they don't pay my telecom time no more free ads) ^…
I already spoke to them about new updates on CIS, 3.8 should be posted here at the same time it's released to other services. Ben, (Hey they don't pay my telecom time no more free ads)
Only if you go by the old version (pre 3.5) of Emplant math routines were improved by as much as 500%. ;-} Ben, (Hey they don't pay my telecom time no more free ads)
The 2091 only does 50K per second on the A4000 so the Empscs.device slaughters it in speed. Ben, (Hey they don't pay my telecom time no more free ads)
True it's easier and less headaches not to shoot for the sky ;-}. Ben, (Hey they don't pay my telecom time no more free ads)
Actually for those who have the bucks the Excaliber by RCS I hear is excellent and provides FASTER memory access than the direct mother boards simms (80% faster or more) and also gives you the option of bumping up the cpu to a 35 MHZ '040 without using a zorro…
That I don't know anyone out there know? Ben, (Hey they don't pay my telecom time no more free ads)
Oh I forgot to mention my Merlin is the 4 meg unit, and those results are from the 256 color direct video driver 640 X 480. Ben, (Hey they don't pay my telecom time no more free ads)
People "trashing" you isn't helping you with your problem, so you are correct. I agree that anyone having the trouble your having shouldn't be met by animosity, you shouldn't be apologizing (although I suspect it was meant as sarcastic ;-} others might take it seriously). BTW are you in the…
I'd check your gal revisions, report them to the sales person to pass along to Joe or Jim you might need them replaced. BTW from what I've heard AMAXIV did ship with at least one bug. Ben, (Hey they don't pay my telecom time no more free ads)
2.28 is 2.28 times the speed of a MacII, BTW I've just installed a 3.1 CPU board in my 4000 the video went up to 2.35. That's with the Merlin Board for late commers. Ben, (Hey they don't pay my telecom time no more free ads)
Leave a message with the sales girl, it helps, a lot. Ben, (Hey they don't pay my telecom time no more free ads)
Hey Eric, my Quantum, and my CD work on my emplant. Is your Emplant an early one? If so there is an upgrade to the SCSI Gal chip that you might need, talk to Joe, he'll fix you up. Oh yeah, my Syquest also works, the only drive I've had…
6.8 in what? video? CPU? Graphics? Math? My Emplant on an A4000 my CPU is 14.8, Video (with Merlin board) is 2.28, Math 70.40, Bench avg 43.7, FPU avg 7.19 and by the way that video is in 256 color mode. Ben, (Hey they don't pay my telecom time no…
Why chuck the Emplant? Amax IV doesn't seem to offer anything more than the Emplant does (or less except no SCSI port) under 4.7. How about some Speedometer ratings on it (not you Eric, Jan Simon)? This way we can see how fast it is. Ben Lott, Leigh's Computers (P.S.…
I hope the let the release go up there. Ben, (Hey they don't pay my telecom time no more free ads)
Start searching the Amigavendor section if it's not there yet it will be I just got 3.4 Emplant software (yes that is 3.4) from Gen** I'm sure it should pass the litmus test here soon (12 megs of mac memory on a 18 meg machine: Great fun). Ben, (Hey they…
It's the same number, it just took MaBell a little while to switch it to the new address. The number still is 1-602-453-9767 Ben, (Hey they don't pay my telecom time no more free ads)
My Gigamem settings are: buffer memory 2 mgs/cache 510/swap medium entire partition (sysquest 105) Adpro "virtual memory first"/and the sam same for Imagemaster. In IMR/T I found that the virtual memory kicked i after loading my 1st picture. Ben, Leigh's Computers
