Make sure, once you have Quarterback Tools, that it isn't V1.0. This is an extremely buggy version, and tends to choke a fair bit. The latest version that I know of is V1.3c, which seems to be fairly solid. It does handle validation errors (as far as the manual says),…
I'm surprised that you folks in the States don't have them yet. I've had one in my Amiga 2500/020 for about two months now. I got one through my dealer here in Edmonton, Alberta (that's in Canuck land). They had been getting them for about two weeks before I got…
The big difference between the A2090(a) and the A2091 is their SCSI handlling. I went through this problem when I upgraded my A2500/020's HD to an 81MB Seagate ST-1096N SCSI. The older A2500's (the 68020 versions) all came with the A2090(a) controller. When doing SCSI handling in interlaced video modes,…
Well, if the HAM-E is an external device, then it should be no problem. With the A2320 (Commodore's FF), you can turn off the de-interlacing logic. This was done to support external Genlocking and the new SuperDenise modes. Ted

That's bizarre… Why should Commodore Canada get them before the states? Oh, well… I've got one in my machine, so I'm not too worried about it. Ted.
I know… That's the Catch-22 of it all. Either backup, format, and restore, or partition and B.A.D. Hopefully CCS's QuarterbackTools will resolve this problem. They're supposed to work on partitions up to 500MB! I'm looking forward to seeing this product work! Ted
My advice is to check into your local Commodore dealer. The A2320's are out now, and are quite impressive. The A2320 is Commodore's answer to MicroWay's Flicker Fixer. It's basically the same de-interlacer, but costs a few hundred $$ less! In Canada, they're retailing for about $450, so I would…
If you haven't read all the documentation that came with B.A.D. (not just the printed stuff, there's some stuff on the disk), do so! I found out that B.A.D. will do some pretty nasty stuff to your HD if you don't have enough free CONTIGUOUS RAM when you run B.A.D.…

Hi… Did we have a data loss (read: crash) a short while back? Just kind of curious, as I had to re-join this conference. Otherwise, there was a time slip… Ted
Well, I've already got a work around. I wrote a chunk of C code to do what I need (it compiled to about 8K). I just captured its text output to a file, did a LoadDocument of the text file, and then parsed the text. Works fine, but I would…
