#Pioneer CD-ROM changer
Message #186768
Anyone have any ideas for getting access to the other 5 disks in a Pioneer DRM-602X CD-ROM changer when using the AmigaDOS 3.1 CD-ROM driver?

Tell me more about Arcnet and the Amiga. Is there an inexpensive Arcnet board available?
#68882 – peripheral?
Message #44119
Anyone know where I can find a library for using a 68881 or 68882 as a peripheral instead of coprocessor?

CrossDOS SyQuest
Message #152273
Does anyone know how to construct a CrossDOS table for an MS-DOS formatted 88MB SyQuest cartridge? There is an example in the Workbench 2.1 manual that does not work on my system. I have formatted the cartridge on a PC using Corel SCSI software. Here is the file I have…
#Tape Backups
Message #66033
I have a new Wangtek 525 MB SCSI tape drive. Can QuarterBack make multiple backups to the same tape volume or is it strictly one backup per tape? Is there any way to append to an existing backup or make incremental backups to the same tape volume without destroying the…
When you say it "works just fine", do you mean that it is readable on a DOS machine? And what is CrossPC? Is that part of AmigaDOS 2.1? Did the cartridge need to be partitioned with FDISK on a DOS machine first? If you are using the SyQuest to move…
CrossDOS SyQuest?
Message #101544
Has anyone ever used CrossDOS (as included with Workbench 2.1) to format an 88 MB SyQuest cartridge so that it will be readable on a MS-DOS machine with a SyQuest drive? The Workbench 2.1 manual shows an example mountlist entry in chapter 7 of how this might be done, but…
#Slippery Path
Message #81177
If I use a command like PATH SC: ADD in a script that executes and then closes its own CLI, the path is not affected for subsequently opened Shells. Is there any way to change the system path on a global basis besides modifying the Startup-Sequence? I have tried modifying…
Thanks, It's nice to deal with a company that cares.

PW/PostScript problem
Message #35720
HELP! I am using ProWrite 3.2.2 with a recently purchased NEC Model 95 PostScript laser printer. This printer has PostScript Level II. I do not get any output when using ProWrite's PostScript print option. The printer IS receiving the data, because its LCD display alternates between "WAITING" & "PROCESSING" while…
Taxan 770 monitor
Message #111410
Has anyone seen the Taxan Multivision 770 Plus monitor (multiscan)? Does it work with an Amiga? Mike
#Hardcard in 2000
Message #105182
Hello! Does anyone know if the 2000's power supply has the same type of connectors for adding disk drives that IBM uses? I am considering purchasing a 2000 with a bridgeboard and slapping a hardcard on the PC side. Some hardcards get their power directly from the PC bus while…
Pete, I have a friend at work who uses a Plus brand hardcard (the original – and still the only brand that is thin enough to occupy just 1 slot). It is a 10 MegaByte model but has similar construction to the 40 Meg unit you are considering. He uses…
MIDI with 2000?
Message #98214
Does anyone know if the Mimetics SoundScape MIDI Interface will work with the 2000, or is there a slight incompatibilty due to the new serial port pinout? Also, is there a patch editor for the Casio CZ-1 available on the Amiga? I need one that supports the CZ-1's velocity, level,…
Larry, I'll definitely compare CSI to JForth before buying. Thanks. Mike

Forth or C?
Message #69597
Thomas, JForth does sound good, but I'm a trifle concerned about Forth's lack of structure as compared to Pascal or M2. It seems to be such an expressive language that each persons own programming quirks become imbedded in the environment. I can see myself struggling to decipher my own code…

NEC MultiSync
Message #41989
Bela, I never was thrilled with VW Rabbits (although my brother just traded his Trans Am for a Rabbit diesel that he loves). There's one thing that I hate about buying new computer equipment: "new" becomes old so fast. The Sony CDP-1302 is attractive to me because its excellence will…

Turbo Prolog?
Message #41988
Ken, No need to look up that Prolog demo – I just wanted to get some idea of the amount of AI languages available for the Amiga. Thanks. Danner
