#A1010 help
Message #4685
I have an Amiga 3000 and a 1950 monitor. My question is, why can't the 1950 show the productivity mode correctly? The whole picture doesn't fit on the screen and I have to scroll around. Surely if IBM multisync monitors can display 640×480 the commodore multisync should be able to…
Starting out…
Message #3826
I have about 4 other investors interested in opening an Amiga dealership in North Carolina. One of the other guys tried to get in touch with someone at Commodore but they wouldn't return his calls. Can you answer a few questions for me? How much of an initial investment was…
#Better Software Needed
Message #18793
This is really just a plea to the developers in this forum. I am probably one f the biggest amiga fans out there, but I find the quality of software on the market distressing. There is so little out there to help the Amigas join in on the current IBM…
A3000 & 1010 problems
Message #118671
I need help with my new A3000. I have an Amiga 3000-25/100 with one internal drive and one external drive. In WB2.0 the external drive is seen as DF2:, well, thats all fine and dandy. It would be nice to have it as DF1: but I'll live. The problem is…
#Where's Basic?
Message #118670
Did I get an incomplete system with my A3000 or did Commodore forget AmigaBasic? I know, I know… BASIC is too old and slow, but it is still nice to teach others on and to write small programs. I spent $300 on Lattice C and I await AmigaVision. What's up…
#complaint
Message #114478
I need the addresses AND names AND phone numbers for the people in the following departments at Commodore-Amiga: Dealer Relations Marketing Sales I regret having to bother these people, but my local dealer is unwilling to give me the support and help I think I deserve after purchasing a $4000…
When I boot the computer with both mouse buttons held down, I get the 1.3 or 2.0 menu. If I choose 1.3 (floppy or hard), hard disk works a little and stops with a blank screen. I am 2Mb short on my 100Mb hard disk, so I assume that is…
Yes, I am short about 2MB when I do an INFO on the drives. Ok, if v2.0 hides the v1.3, how do I get to it, and if I cant how do I get my 2MB back!?!? My local dealer is a moron, so you people are my only hope.…

A3000 Questions
Message #113481
I have the 100MB version. When I type info I get… Ram: WB_2.x DF0: DF2: Work: No WB_1.3… maybe thats my problem…fine. How can I get it on there? I tried putting my path in the main startup-seq, but it didnt work. My assign statements seem to work fine.
v2.0 and HD's
Message #110258
Here's a good question… If the 3000's are shipped with the system booting from the HD, what will it require to put the chips in it and make it work the same? Are the chips going to be free when released to the 3000 owners? What about dealer labor charges?…
I think Commodore should put everything they say into writing and send it th to the dealers. So many different answers! I hope you're right…
If that is true I am going to be one very unhappy camper!
If you get the a card with the same speed, I would immagine it should compare closely. The only disadvantages you will experience will be the lack of the 32-bit architecture(sp?) and the new co-processors. Yes, it would be nice for them to include high school students in the educational…

Message #109770

Thanks. My dealer (as I have stated before) is a moron and that is why I come here for a real answer!

A3000 too fast?
Message #109768
Yes, I will be going straight from an Amiga 1000 to a A3000-25-100. Thanks for the information you gave me in your last message.
#to fast 3000?
Message #109543
If you are familiar with the IBM world, you are well aware that if you have a program written on a slow machine (XT for example) and run it on a fast one (286 for example), it runs a zillion times faster. I mean, you can't even play games written…

End of which month? June or July? Sorry, I was unsure of your answer.
#More 3000 Questions
Message #105914
Sorry to keep bugging you, but I am trying to get as much info on the 3000 as I can. How much will the educational price be for the A3000 @ 25Mhz, A1950, and 100MB hard drive in the 2-floppy chassis cost? There is a listing on the edpric.txt file…
No, there is no other dealers near me. The dealer I have to deal with is… well, lets just say they give dealer a "bad name." This is the same dealer that told me straight out that the Amiga would not be a wise choice for business use. Not to…
#3000's… when?
Message #104856
My local dealer seems to be confused as to how nice the 3000 is, and he has no information on it. Is this true of all dealers? When will the machine be available for sale? How much will the 3000 @ 25mhz & 40MB HD cost at an educational price?…
#Memory/HD/support
Message #4443
Where can I get a memory expansion for my Amiga 1000? I have 512{_k now and would like to upgrade to 1.5 or 2.5 meg. Also where can I get a hard drive for a reasonable price. Has anyone heard of a device that will allow the Amiga to use…
