>> PCs have a standard size motherboard. The A1200 doesn't. Good luck.
#What size tower case?
Message #147846
I'm interested in trying to put my A1200 mother board into a tower case and I am not sure what size tower, if any would be suitable. I currently have a mini tower case that I have for SCSI devices, however it appears that it can only house a 14"…
Stephen, In Lib 15 of AmigaUser: TM21.LHA (ToolManager 2.1 archive) – Richard Graff, Written 19-May-1994 @ 08:14:56 Using: Windows NavCIS TE 1.2
Ben, ToolManager lets you run programs from workbench via Dock Icons or by adding the programs to the Tools pull down menu of workbench. I have a dock Icon setup for IM to launch it from, but when I run IM from it it doesn't run properly, I didn't have…
Ben, Ok, After a call to your tech department, the problem has been solved. I have been launching IM from Toolmanager and it seems that between version 1.06 and 1.5 you guys tightened up the path/assign requirements. If I launch IM from its icon, the scanning software works fine, however…
Ben, But I haven't even got to the point of being able to define a picture to scan becuase Metascan won't load after I select the epson scanner driver. Oh well, I guess I need to call tech support. =Rick=
Ben, Just to clarify how much memory I have available before running IM: Chip: 1,862,072 bytes Fast: 6,562,216 bytes Should that be enough to use the scan function? I'll try and call tech support tommorrow afternoon if I get home early enough. =Rick=
Ben, I have 10 megs on my A1200, is that not enough memory? Plus, Metascan works fine with version 1.06R2 of IM, it just won't work with the 1.50B version I received recently. =Rick=
#Metascan Won't Load
Message #81886
Ben, When I try and use the scanning software with IM v1.50B, after selecting the module, I get sent back to the main IM screen instead of to the MetaScan screen. I re-installed v1.06r2 just to make sure that there wasn't anything wrong my hardware and the scanning software worked…
Gary, Try removing the jumpers on both J1 & J2, thats what I had to do when i got my A1291 board. One of the Jumpers is for testing purposes only and I forget what the other one is for. Mine is booting from the scsi drive. =Rick=

Reading MSDOS disks
Message #142594
I mailed the Dos-2-Dos disk today via Air mail, Hopefully you will get it sometime next week. Don't worry about the postage, it only cost $1.52, its worth helping your son have a good time with his Amiga. =Rick= =Rick=

funky Monitor
Message #141261
I have a 1+ year old A1200 and 1960 monitor, recently, within the last week or so I have noticed that scan lines on the monitor seem to get mis-aligned. For example, a line of text such as in this message will be skewed. I have also noticed in the…
Lewis, I don't know about the install utility with VC 6.41 since I haven't downloaded and installed that version yet. However, the problem with the VCguide file is because the default tool of the icon is set to use a "reader" that can read amigaguide text. If you have another…
Kevin, I seem to remember having the same problem, there is a jumper that has to be removed (or is it jumpered???) It was not listed in the manual, it is apparently for testing. I'll look at mine later tonight and give you more details…………….. Later tonight: Ok, I checked…
Steve, I have registered many (at least 8) overseas shareware programs to several country's, including Germany, I have always sent cash and have always received my registered version. The longest was LhA, that took almost 3 months, but typically the time lag has been 30-45 days. =Rick=
Becuase instead of $1.50 to ship I'm figuring $3.00, its a very heavy package . =Rick=

I took a look at the file and its simuliar to what I have for my A1200. I installed GVP's SCSI adapter with my A1230+ card and hooked up a mini-tower case to it. I only have 1 harddrive in it now, but I can add CDROM, a backup system…
#Tape or harddrive backup
Message #139766
After spending much of my morning repairing a trashed harddrive and not being able to recover any of my AP:Messages and about 30megs of archives, I've come to realize that I have to do something about backups. I used to do regular floppy backups, however as my harddrive space has…
You can try Reorg v3.1, it should be here in the library somewhere. There is also a patch that patches v3.1 to v3.11. I checked my AutoPilot catalog and they weren't listed just v2.33 or something like that, if you can't find them then let me know, I'll upload my…

Download Zip.lha in the Archivers library. This set of programs handles the new PKZIP 2.04g files without any problems. =Rick=
Your BBS should set your last message read so that the next time you have a packet made up, the system will only include messages you haven't read. Your best bet is to ask the sysop of the board to make sure. As far as new files, I don't think…
Paul, Your internet address here on CIS would be: 71024.3245@compuserve.com The address is case sensitive and you have to use a period instead of the comma in your CIS user ID. =Rick=
Lewis, If you don't have an accelerator installed in your A500 then you have a 68000 cpu, and you wouldn't have an MMU or an FPU. The MMU refers to "Memory Management Unit" and is part of the CPU in some 68030 and 68040 processors. The FPU is a "Floating…
Looking for used monitor
Message #137419
I'm looking for a used 1084 monitor, or something simuliar. If you have one for sale, c-mail me a description and asking price. =Rick=
I use AmiQwk II, it is shareware, the others I have seen are shareware also. I don't think that a copy of it is online here in any of the amiga forums, at least I couldn't find one using the online Amiga File finder. If you want, I'll c-mail it…
.QWK files are essentially packets created of messages on a BBS. Not all BBS's support the creation of .QWK files. Typically you can define message areas to scan and make the packets from and then down load the packet. You then need an offline reader such as AmiQwk II or…
In the STEVE.LHA archive, there is mention of a palatte file (Palatte.AGA) that should be in the archive and is not. =Rick=
>>Why didn't Commodore do that in the first place.
You can call GVP and they will mail you the specs on Phone Pak, thats what I did . If you can't wiat that long, c-mail me your fax number and I'll fax what I received to you. I plan on ordering one shortly, just as soon as I get…
Download Moned.lha, its in library 3 (Screen Utilities), it lets you adjust the default settings in the monitor driver's icons so that you ccan compensate for such problems as you described. I have an A1200 with a 1960 monitor, and was able to center my workbench screen as well as…
Jim, Thanks for your help, it WAS the trace from the Gary chip, it was not passing through the MB at J500 properly and thus didn't terminate at R500. I soldered a wire between the appropriate Gary pin and R500 on the underside of the MB and set the other…
Jim I don't know how much you know about the wiring of the MB on this unit, but I removed the MB and spent some time looking at both sides of it at J500. It dawned on me that maybe the problem is on the underside since the trace that…
Jim, When looking at the motherboard from the front of the machine, is pin 1 on the on the left or right of J101? J500 is pretty scared up, it looks like instead of just cutting the trace the previous owner tried to remove the entire solder pad. There appears…
#2000 only has 1/2 ram
Message #136773
I just recieved a used B2000-CR Rev 4.3, the previous owner had installed the 1 meg agnus chip (8372A) and he had informed me before I agreed to purchase it that he had been unable to get the chip to recognize a full 1meg chip ram. However, what he neglected…
