#Insider is it!
Message #58603
I am giving an honest unbiased opinion when I say that I suggest to anyone interested in expanding the memory of their Amigas. The product is solid, works very well, is fully compatible, installs in minutes, and sports a very attractive price tag. Best of all it is backed by…
It seems that the box plugs in the joystick port, and the software assumes that it is plugged in the second port. I wonder if they are using the A/D converters that are built in the Amiga? Hummm… At any rate, I bought the darn thing today and I still…

What do you mean by "all are in stereo?" My friend who just bought one said that the software supplied with it allows only for one track recording and one track playback. How do you figure that?

Humm. When did you buy your machine? Maybe some hardware problem was fixed since I bought the two Amigas I have… Look closely at those waves, you should be able to see a diagonal glitch above the base of the wave, as it is moving forward to the bottom left…

A friend of mine just bought the Mimetics, too. (All things that I was told here considered, I would have suggested the FutereSound.) At any rate, he tells me that in the back there is a spec sheet on the sampler. It says "Available in Stereo or Mono." What gives?…

Marble Madness
Message #27732
Now that's really funny! It is obvious that when one says that one wants your games to work from the workbench, they mean that they don't want it to take over the whole machine! Now you have a game that just takes one extra step (annoying) to run, and yet…

Just wondering, did you notice the glitches in the third screen, in the animation of the Mechanical Waves as they call them (you can look at the package for a picture of what the mechanical waves are.) What do you think this is from? I saw it on other games,…

So you have the Mimetics. Is it a stereo digitizer as claimed, and in what sense (i.e. can you digitize the 2 channels together?) And can you save those 20 secs. as IFF. I heard that although it claims to be IFF, you can't save regular speech as IFF, only…

What do you mean Mimetics is stereo and FutureSound is not? I thought that both were stereo, in the sense that you can record a track on the left channel and one on the right. Do you mean that the mimetics can digitize both channels together? By the way, can…

#Amiga Glitches
Message #27163
I have noticed glitches on the screen, when it is either being created or animated, notably in: 1) The slideshow programs, at the edged of the pictures or at the top of the picture being scrolled up or down. 2) In Marble Madness, with the Marbles and those moving hills.…

How about this one: running the calculator from the CLI crashes the system. By the way, I think 1.2B4 has very few bugs (i.e. bearable) and therefore I am currently doing all my work on it.

new computer that will be incompatible with the ST's, and the ST users cannot upgrade to it. On the Amiga, you can add 68020 boards (available NOW) which will be much cheaper as competition increases. You can also add a math coprocessor. 10) If you want to consider IBM compatibility,…

As an owner of both machines, I can start opening the fire: 1) True that the chip set in the Amiga makes for a great game machine, but I am sure the Tramiels didn't mean it as a compliment. 2) The statement that the chip set in the Amiga is…

1.2 & 5.25" Drives
Message #22246
Larry, it seems we are exchanging messages LIVE. Yes, my IBM drive seems to work fine in IBM mode (it is an IBM ds/dd drive.) One strange thing though is that I have to turn it on BEFORE I turn on the AMIGA and turn it OFF after I turn…

The mountlist IS in the devs directory, and MOUNT does not give me an error message. I then put in a blank disk and say DISKCHANGE DF2: and it gives me an error. My drive runs fine in IBM mode. Oh well, another mystery added to my list. Any suggestions?

WB 1.2 beta 2
Message #21826
We just got WB 1.2 beta 2 yesterday. I was able to use it with the microforge 40meg/7 card expansion slot. All software I've tried so far runs (to some degree!) The thing is overall MUCH improved over 1.1, and increasing your disk buffers can increase your directories by about…

I tried wb beta 2 with a hacked up 5 1/4 inch drive that works fine under TRANSFORMER. It doesn't seem to get recognized from 1.2 CLI, though. I did a MOUNT df2: using the example moutlist with the name changed to df2: and device changed to 2. A dir…

I can't imagine why a company like Atari who developed the 520ST in so little time, would sell a project that they paid so much in R&D money on to another company, knowing that they might "hope to sell it" in the future. Couldn't they have hired one or two…

Let me make sure I understand you right: Your company bought the rights to the Atari Amy sound chip last summer? Then why are Atari officials still being quoted that the chip is "almost alive and well?"

Hacking a circuit has nothing to do with the updates you receive from Amiga. You could almost disregard all the upgrades they send, build the circuit, and then when you have the final specs (set for this week or next week,) only minor modifications would be necessary. At least this…

RON- How did you get a BETA of the TRANSFORMER? I would like a legit copy to BETA it using a ton of PC stuff. Who to contact? Thanks.

First 2 Amiga games!
Message #632
I don't know if I am bringing you fresh news or I am repeating something that might have scrolled off. At any rate, it doesn't hurt me to make this announcement even if it were made before: Hear this! Two new software packages by Activision are out. They are Mindshadow…
