Werner,
Helmer, >>We need a sw to reed Amiga floppy's on a Mac.
Gracia, >>OK, emulation mavin, which card?
Hi Gracia, >>Anyone use PC Task? Anygood?
Thanks for the plug, Gayle! Marion Deland CROSSINGS – Newsletter for Amiga/PC/Mac compatibility
>>Maybe I am confsed here, butI can't see how you could sell off a program that comes packaged with the GUI needed to run it. Unless the other company just sells to those with older versions of Geos.
Asha, >>You may be right, and if you are, and PC aps don't run on this system,
>>CIS is not quite ready to start giving out the personal email names yet.
Yes, Geoworks Ensemble was what I meant by the "elaborate" version. GeoWrite as a separate program was sold off. Nice to know you can still get Geoworks Ensemble. Thanks…. Marion Deland CROSSINGS – Newsletter for Amiga/PC/Mac compatibility
Gayle, Let's see. First, check ADISK. It will be quite clear if there is an Amiga partition assigned. (You have to leave the space for it when you use FDISK.) When I did this years ago, you had to create a MOUNTLIST entry, and the cylinder counts were different. Sorry,…
Gayle, >>Has anyone gotten DJMOUNT FFS to work with AmigaDOS 3.1, a 386 bridgeboard, Novell DOS 7, a Maxtor 71626AP (1.62 GB IDE harddrive), Amiga 2000HD (G-Force 030), and AmigaJanus 2.1?
>>BTW, have you sent me material for carrying Crossings?
Betty, >>So it appears that they must have done a bit of switching there.
>>Well CEI had a press release last month stating they had reached an agreement with AT to distribute Amiga's in N. & S. America.

>>If I were a small guy dealer, I wouldn't want to get trapped in that jungle of constant restocking and cutthroat competition, either.

Fred, Every now and then the Amiga's multitasking power is really impressed on me. Yesterday I was playing with Windows 95 on a 486-66 –decent computer, if not top of the line–and if I ran more than one program, I spent a lot of time waiting for screen refreshes. This…
Ray, >>CEI is U.S. distributor for Amiga Technologies.
Betty, Thanks, as always… Marion Deland CROSSINGS – Newsletter for Amiga/PC/Mac compatibility
Tom, Thanks for the speeches… Marion Deland CROSSINGS – Newsletter for Amiga/PC/Mac compatibility
>>"true multitasking" is not exactly something Mr Joe Public is going to get excited about.
Christian, >>the XT was like the IBM PC only with Intel's 8086 (16-bit) instead of 8088 (8-bit) CPU.
Jerry, >>Final Calc doesn't have a whole lot of appeal to me. All I use the Amiga for is video.
>>I think it is quite friendly here using our real names
>>I think you are confusing this file with a program for Evergreen-upgrades.
Hi Karl, What version of BBCpuUpgrade.lha is that? Marion Deland CROSSINGS – Newsletter for Amiga/PC/Mac compatibility
>Apple has been offering a product called "Mode32", developed by the Connectix Corporation, for several years.
Betty, I helped someone sign up for (whisper) America On-Line this morning, and I was surprised that the program INSISTED on a screen name, "to be friendly". My client wanted to use her initials, but they weren't available, neither was her last name. AOL suggested some absurd combination of her…
>>Could you send me a sample copy of CROSSINGS
If Escom uses PowerPC and CHRP, you could emulate Macs in software. You wouldn't need a special hardware emulator. True… Marion Deland CROSSINGS – Newsletter for Amiga/PC/Mac compatibility
>>but the last few months there sure has been a lot of noise and immature attitudes here.
>>Do you know of any Intel-based PC or Apple Macintosh of 1990 vintage that is unusable today?
Debi, I don't know where in Alaska you are, but if you're in Anchorage, you might want to get in touch with Dick Howe, formerly of Best Electronics. I think his phone # is 907-278-2378. He still does Amiga work, and might know someone who wants it (or might want…
>>but I don't know what a parent message is, or how to get it.
#ESCOM – UUGH!!!
Message #208217
Let's backtrack. Ian Einman: "Unlike any other computer built in 1990, this Amiga is still very usable in 1995." J. Saperstein: "Some of the computers in use in my shop date back to 1987 and all of them are as usable today as they were the day they were purchased."…
OK, thanks… Marion Deland CROSSINGS – Newsletter for Amiga/PC/Mac compatibility
I don't get it…my readme file is all in english. I downloaded V.2.0 just a week or so ago…maybe changes have been made recently. Marion Deland CROSSINGS – Newsletter for Amiga/PC/Mac compatibility
You have to get them done by vortex. I don't think you can install it yourself — as I remember, it has to be done by vortex, preferably when you first buy the board. Call GMR Productions (assuming you're in the U.S.). They're the US rep for vortex (I think…
Well, I'm confused. I downloaded SHPSFT20.LHA from this forum (emulators section), and the README is in English, as is the order form. There are some german and italian files in the Catalogs directory. There are AmigaGuide files in both German and English. (Btw, you can read an AmigaGuide file with…
The "readme" file is in English, if you downloaded v. 2.0 from CIS. (You're still talking about Shapeshifter, right? Marion Deland CROSSINGS – Newsletter for Amiga/PC/Mac compatibility
Bob, Ditto what Don said. However, you shouldn't be getting a variable truncation on the same file. Try the "/b" switch and see if it solves it, anyway. e.g. AREAD DH0:GRAPHICS/MYFILE C:\GRAPHICS\MYFILE /B AREAD and AWRITE default to ASCII mode, so you use them without the "/b" switch only when…
It sounds like an error in your mountlist…did you check it? Marion Deland CROSSINGS – Newsletter for Amiga/PC/Mac compatibility
Sure. Rich is Richard Mataka, of: GMR Productions 3835 Richmond Ave., Suite 138 Staten Island NY 10312 Tel: (718) 967-1509 Fax: (718) 948-0893 Tell him I said Hi! Marion Deland CROSSINGS – Newsletter for Amiga/PC/Mac compatibility
>>Everyone remembers the "Omega" insult. Right
>>Not counting the UK shops, there are over 1500 Escom stores in Europe.

>>Amiga has a reputation for having innovative technology as in "yeah, Amiga the great computer that Commodore killed…">Update it… keyboard connector in the front for example.
If you can, try moving Binddrivers further down in your startup-sequence. If you have Enforcer (recent versions of AmigaDOS, 2.x and above, I think), use that instead of CPU ("Enforcer quiet"). You have to run it BEFORE binddrivers. Or you could try waiting till the Amiga stops booting, then run…
I agree. Escom needs to realize that in the U.S., at least, the Commodore name does not help sell the Amiga. Marion Deland CROSSINGS – Newsletter for Amiga/PC/Mac compatibility

Yes, I've been waiting for news of the meeting between Escom and C= UK that was talked about right after the hearing. Anyone heard anything? Marion Deland CROSSINGS – Newsletter for Amiga/PC/Mac compatibility

And like all nostalgia, it just wouldn't be the same. But I would never want to type "Load ,8,1" again! Some things would have to be improved, as I'm sure they were in the C65. Marion Deland CROSSINGS – Newsletter for Amiga/PC/Mac compatibility
