– OK, in order of appearance: – GreG: Yes, thank you. I executed "EXECUTE" at the right times and places and the movie emerged in fine shape, projector icon and all. I am now intensely curious as to why you need to go through all that. Won't the C'Serve mainframes…
#De-Arc problems
Message #120434
4/21/88 That muffled thump you hear is the towel hitting the floor. – I have tried to download and de-arc the PROJECTOR series of video animation files. Several things happened strangely. I was assured in one of the Readme files that I would get a projector icon to click on…
Dear Mark, et.al. (you remember Al?) In their supposidly infinite wisdom, Amiga chose to install the graphics chip that does NTSC output in the A1000 with a resistor across the two pins that determine modulation quadriture. As a result, if you chose to display your graphic on a "TV" or…
Dear Mark (Practical Solutions, etc. etc) I would like to raise my battered and bleeding hand to offer a few suggestions for the NTSC Encoder. I bought two A2000's for installation in offices before I found out that not only didn't the stupid things have NTSC output, all the suppliers…
A2K & NEC Multisync
Message #118445
Through a series of convoluted swaps, I ended up with an A2K with no corresponding picture monitor. I do, however have an NEC Multisync kicking around. Here is the formula for a **SHORT** ribbon cable to allow the A2K drive the Multisync: – – NEC JOB A2K ===================== 1……RED VID….3…

Rich, I got into hot water with that one with C'Serve. If you sign on to C'Serve with the reccommended 8N1, the first few messages will be graphics charactors until Ohio realizes what you're doing. I'm using IBM (for real) and Hayes. It happens to me too. C'Serve's own software,…

A2K SECOND FLOPPY
Message #116011
I have seen several messages go by written by people trying to get a second A2K floppy to work. I wrote about this briefly a while ago, but the info seems to have slid off the board. No, it doesn't hurt the floppy to have it's control cable plugged in…
HP Laserjet II driver
Message #114665
I'm trying to drive a brand-new-out-of-the-box HP Laserjet II printer with DeluxePrint in both an A2000 and an A1000. So far, no luck, but it's only because we haven't tried very hard yet. I understand we have to get the proper print drivers available for the thing to work, but…
#Reading Threads
Message #114663
Hi, Please tell me if there is an easier way to CHANGE threads when you're reading the board messages. I get to the end of my thread, do TOP, do Read messages, and then do Read Thread and then the new number. This is a little long. The system will…
Yes, I have lots of information about ANY video equipment for the A2000. It doesns't exist. Greg Kozikowski (Captain Video)
3/1/88 Dear Mr. Curtis and Mr. Sobernheim, Thank you both for your kind attention and prompt information. The Mimetics "AmigaGen" was the unit for which I had my check written and was pulled off the market because of some sort of design flaw. I have been camping on my dealer's…
#A2000 Video Output
Message #111388
l2/29/88 Yet another video problem. I need a way to get the color video out of my A2000. I thought it was a scream that the latest issue of Amiga-Something-or-Other magazine devoted the entire issue to "Desk Top Video" and NOT ONCE did they advertise or advocate or suggest a…
A bit more data for the harried 3.5" disk drive installer. The jumper on the mother board for the second floppy is J301..short the two pins for two floppies. It's located close to CN303, the floppy controller cable connector. My Mom 'n Pop computer store figured out the jumpers on…
