Two things, John. First, I have yet to receive the paperwork for submitting my Moon Oject for the latest Syndesis CD collection. Address here is Pat Mullet, 7320 Garfield Rd., Freeland Mi, 48623. Secondly, could you tell me what graphic format the textures in the MISC directory in the Sysndesis/Avalon…
More the idea that the College doesn't want to be buying other folk's problems. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
We're using the T4000 card in our A2000 currently; when we get an A4000, it gets the T4000 card, and the T2.0 card goes back into the A2000. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"

Personally, I wouldn't mind a used A4000, but I sincerely doubt that the college would go for it. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"

Toaster Computer Needs
Message #121759
Hank: I've seen the Hi Flyer in the trades, and it is an interesting alternative, and something I'm thinking about. Thanks for your kind offer, I'll keep it in mind. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
Tom: Guess you'll have to give me the URL. My system isn't set up to run Amosaic; I do have an internet account through my place of business, but am limited to shell access and Lynx. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast On Autopilot"
Okay, Thanks…. Now, where do I find the Amiga Web Directory? (duh…) -Pat "Cruising the North Coast On Autopilot"
Tom: Amy Mosaic or windows Mosaic….and do you happen to have the URL? -Pat "Cruising the North Coast On Autopilot"

Does anyone know if Eric Schwartz has either a web page or an FTP site where one can grab his animaitons, or if he has plans to release his animatioins on CD ROM? -Pat "Cruising the North Coast On Autopilot"
Avalon/Tomahawk files
Message #46364
Can anyone post a list of the file suffixes used at the Tomahawk and Avalon FTP sites along with an explanation of what 3D file formats they represent? -Pat "Cruising the North Coast On Autopilot"
Now, THAT'S service! Thanks! -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
#AC Phone #?
Message #188357
Don: Would you have a phone number for AC subscription? -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
Hey, I wouldn't mind if CPB found funding from another source–I hate being tied to the whims of the government. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
Look at the funding from anohter veiwpoint; we are a small market PBS station, 1/2 our funding comes from the college we are licensed to, 1/4 comes from local fundraising, and 1/4 from CPB/PBS. If we lose federal funding, it will hurt. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
Nah, the "I LOVE ME" pattern already adorns Newt's walls at the senate office building. I often wonder about the govnernment we elect. Guess we get what we deserve. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
#Newt vs PBS
Message #183362
I'd love to, but it isn't my amiga; mine does run NickPrefs. I don't think the station will be upgrading the OS anytime soon, especially with NEWT gunning for funding for PBS. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
I have programs to convert .bmps to IFFs, so that is no problem. The problem is that DOS 2.01 doesn't accept straight IFFs as WB patterns. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
#Wallpaper Patterns
Message #183237
Is there a process or a program to allow conversion of Windows .bmp wallpaper patterns to AmigaDos 2.01 workbench patterns? I cam up with a couple of nice PBS orinented wallpaper patterns for our Windows machines at work, and would like to use them on the A2000 on which our…
I left the file folder at work, I'll have to get it to you tomorrow. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
#GPI for Tally Lights?
Message #93393
There's an outfit in Lansing, Michigan that makes a little box that plugs in between the keyboard and the Amiga. It reads the keystrokes for the swithcer keys and closes contacts for tally lights. It also has a GPI trigger port. It lists for approx. $350. If you're interested, drop…
BlackBelt systems' Convert is available: use AmigaFileFinder (go AmigaFF) to locate it. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast On Autopilot"
Okay, thanks. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
Okay, maybe I'm confused…. It was VTU, and the cover was predominetly white, but I only saw it from across the desk. Maybe he has a time capsule? -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
As I'm just getting involved in networking, I tend to get meself confused–when I said twisted Pair, I was talking about a token ring set-up. Iffen we have our druthers, we'd like to go thin ethernet. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
One of my co-workers got his copy last wednesday, while I'm still waiting. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
Dale: Pardon the foot im my mouth…it's a result of all the non-technical folk at the staion referring to the box as a "Toaster". Yes, of course I meant the Amiga 2000 wherein the Toaster resides. We're hoping to connect it to a LAN via ethernet, though the possiblity exists…
Steven: Do you have a number of CEI and/or Oxxi? -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
#Amiga & Ethernet
Message #166152
We're setting up an ethernet LAN (pc & mac) at work, and people are discussing the possiblility of hooking our Toaster into the net. Does anyone have any info on what would be required to do this? WHo manufactures compatible cards & software, and where would I write for further…
Dale: How about a quick synopsis of the book and some ordering info? -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
286 -> 486 in Amiga?
Message #163913
I just received a flyer touting a -286 upgrade kit, purporting to increase the processing power to -486 levels. Now, I'm not about to purchase one of these things, but I do have an AT Once card in my GVP A500-HD+, and I was curious as to whether or not…

Too bad. It might have helped. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"

Interchange Plus modules
Message #87344
Too bad. I'm trying to convert a logo done in Art Expression into a Lightwave object. I originally wanted to use it in a PS1 file, but I can't move it to TypeSmith, as it tells me ther are too many paths (all 8 of 'em!) Guess I'll have to…
Interchange Plus modules
Message #87314
Is there such a thing as an EPS module for Interchange Plus? To be used with such programs as Art Expression? -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
Have already done so, and it's on its way. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
Have done so, and luckily, it's still under warranty. The beast is in the mail,m and I have the old 2400 modem hooked up. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
BTW, any suggestions on what to do with the modem? -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
Dale: I'm a firm believer in surge protectors–being a broadcaster, I've seen the damage a surge can do–problem is, the place I'm renting is an old farmhouse with only two wire electrical service, and surge protection isn't worth diddely without a ground. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
#Gimpy Supra 144LC
Message #155810
Looks like I took some modem damage during the recent spate of thunderstorms pawssing through my area. My Supra 144LC will dial, but refuses to hold a connection open on it's own–it makes the connection then reports NO DIALTONE or BUSY and drops the connection. However, if I leave my…
Great! -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
Thanks, it would be appreciated. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
Adib: I wouldn't mind having the mercator maps of the various planets,moons, etc. See if he'll upload those, as well. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
Thanks for the info, Joe. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
Hilary: "TV Technology"? Are you a fellow broadcaster? -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
What about us poor folks with A500s? -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
Yeah, don't you just LOVE have the future of your primary platform up in the air? -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
Are you saying that Bruce "created" the back & sides of the image map, say by a paint program? -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"
It seems to me, if I remember the episode properly, that the actor's "head" did, in fact turn from side to side in the hardsuit. Taking face and profile shots of the actor would be easy, but making a 360 degree image map would be the trick I'm after. -Pat…
As per the Nasa CDS, I've seen a couple of NASA-25 year compilations in the ads from Creative in Amigaworld. I supposedly getting an info pak from USGS-Flagstaff about planetary maps and CDs, so some info may be in that, but other than than, no idea. -Pat "Cruising the North…
If I find the maps, I'll ship em out to to. Unfortunately, I don't have a Syqyest drive, and neither does the station where I work & Toast. Re: the nightime map. I hear that there is another version of it on one of the NASA CDs, but haven't chased…
#LWPro/Cylinder Mapping
Message #82575
John: I noted with interest in the current LWPRO the method used for putting CMDR Ford's head into the hardsuit in a recent episode of seaQuest. What I'd like to know is how was the image map constructed to cylindar map around the humanoid head? -Pat "Cruising the North Coast…
