#Amiga videos?
Message #160147
Hi there! I'm looking for any amiga videos in good condition (or copies), specially early CBM advertising videos, to add to my home video library. Some examples: o "History of the Amiga" o "The Amiga 500 video test flight" (given free by CBM at the time of the A500 introduction).…
#CGII users?
Message #160146
Hi everybody… I've been using Shereff Systems' Pro Video Post and CGII programs since mid-'92 when I bought them. A few months ago I called them to confirm what I suspected: the phone # was disconnected so I have to think that SS is out of business. Anyone is still…
I would add the same file was widely distributed here, and caused (unfounded) great expectation. Don't you think such hoaxes hurt sales of actual high-end Amigas? (i.e. people may think "why should I buy an A4000?, I'll wait for that A5000!"). Regards. Fernando. Buenos Aires, Argentina
CDTV Killed on PC-WORLD!
Message #100957
CBM don't have good press often on the PC World, but guys! what I read on the June issue of PCWorld is really hurting for CDTV!: (page 217, in "Multimedia World", the Multimedia insert of PC World) "The Prodigal Sons of the Multimedia PC – Should you buy a Multimedia…

Bernoulli drive
Message #29980
I'm looking at removable mass storage devices for use on the PC, and I found the best (and affordable) to be the 90 Mb. Bernoulli drives. I would like to connect one of those drives to the Amiga… Are Bernoulli drives Amiga-compatible?? Thanks, Fernando.
John, Yes, I think exactly like you. I don't blame Commodore, too. But wouldn't it be nice to see the A4000 head-to-head with the other machines in the test?. Fernando. 🙂 from B.A. – Argentina.
Pres. Campaign
Message #29809
Hi everybody: I'm following with interest the presidential campaign in the U.S. (Thanks to CNN Headline News & the special programs). Although it may sound strange, I usually collect publicity from the political parties in local elections. I would like to do the same with the U.S. elections. So I…
Amiga not a workstation?
Message #29783
In the Nov. issue, Byte reviewed workstations ("Stalking the ultimate workstation"). Amigas weren't reviewed, but not for Byte bias. According to Byte "Two notable platforms are not represented: Amigas and OS/2 systems. Commodore declined to participate in these applications, citing the Amiga's multimedia orientation" Byte reviewed the following machines: Apple's…

Denny, Do you know if the RGB converter for Digital Creations' DCTV is finally available in the U.S., and the price ? Regards, Fernando Buenos Aires, Argentina.
#GFA Basic
Message #27022
I want to buy a Basic programming Language for the Amiga. I currently own QuickBasic for the PC so I want a "QB-Like" environment. The better Basic, in my opinion, is GFA Basic, wich is also available in DOS and Windows version, as it should let me easily port my…
Vic, Now I understand, you was talking about MONEY!. Well, I'm not rich (I spent all my left money in making the next-to-be launched-BBS). I understand that your effort should have an economic compensation. I'm a big supporter of the shareware concept, so I register every shareware program that fits…
Richard, Thanks god, video editing and titling in post-production is well paid in Argentina since only a few people have the equipment need to do it. I think that the situation will change soon, as more video equipment is available at lower prices, so I will face more competition! And…
I don't understand your question. I guess you asked how much important is such a program to me. answer: very important. If you know of an existing utility, let me know, else: If you or any other programmer want to take my idea and make his own program to distribute…
Michael, DSS can be used to create samples, and these samples can be used with DSS' Tracker to create four-track sound files like SoundTracker ones. Each Tracker file can be saved as a song (only notes without intruments data), as a module (SoundTracker .MOD files) or also as an auto-executable…
TEXT SCREEN APPEND UTIL.
Message #26744
I'm making an Amiga BBS, and I'm looking for a program that can do the following: It must generate a routine to be added (linked at beggining or end) to executable files that: 1) Open a custom screen or window, over either Workbench or CLI. 2) Display a text message…
DSS-Files
Message #26743
Do you know if the executable music files that GVP's Digital Sound Studio creates can be freely distributed ?? I have a lot that I would like to offer trough my BBS. Fernando, FC Video Buenos Aires, Argentina.
John, Who was talking about Brazil ??? 99 percent of U.S. people I know think Buenos Aires is in Brazil… (maybe the U.S. government has wrong maps ???) About the woman… 1) I can't see the difference … how are catholic woman in the U.S.?? 2) You use to pray…
Betty, I agree with you, but in the U.S. at least you get support, warranty, and good software stores. In Argentina, Amiga users have nothing. The only "support" is by using CompuServe (like I do) to contact tech support, info on new products and the like. But not everyone can…
#Amiga & CIS in Argentina
Message #26689
(continues from prior message) #4 of 4 If you don't know Argentina, here is a little geographic review: Argentina is one of the few countries of South America with a population 85 percent european and only 15 percent mestizo. It's the second in land extension after Brazil. There are no…
Amiga & CIS in Argentina
Message #26688
(continued from prior message) #3 of 4 Since there are no CBM official representative, the Amigas have no warranty. And it seems that CBM doesn't have any policy for Latin America as it should be. The certainly -IS- a market here. But with little stores buying A-500s at $299 from…

Amiga & CIS in Argentina
Message #26686
Richard, #1 of 4 Yeah, you are right, WHAT a great communication medium this system is! I can't believe all the responses my messages got!!, and the CD-I and "Byte's new Amiga" were my first messages on the Amiga Forums!. CIS is available in Argentina from over a year. (With…
I think Byte is a not-so-biased publication (it mentions Mac hard and soft, OS/2, and SOMETIMES the Amiga) …until now. If you think Byte is so biased… what about PC Mag. … it could have the "Making it all make sense" statement on the cover to be the official Microsoft…
Thanks for your opinions. And I've already read many CBM ads in PC WORLD, wich are great, promoting the entire Amiga line and CDTV, ("Nothing will sell you on Commodore Multimedia like a few minutes with Apple and IBM"). But I think that another effort should be put on more…
I agree with yout about the delayed 2.04 release and lack of R&D funds, let's hope R&D are working now at full speed for the new "super-next-generation-Amigas" … Regards, Fernando. Buenos Aires, Argentina. NOTE: It seems that you like Whap (I never tried it, I access using CIM 2.0 in…
Kevin, I can't accept the "blind fanaticism" statement. I told you what I read in an Amiga magazine, from words of Commodore's president. (I usually believe in what I read on computer magazines) On my experience with computers, I have owned a TRS-80 mod. III, a Tandy, a Commodore 128D,…
The fact is that CDTV was available to the consumer in June, and CDTV in october!. If you want to talk about past or date of projects… Then I can say that CDTV derived from the A500 wich derived from the A1000. So the design of CDTV was conceived in…
What a dream! I hope someday that be possible! Great comments! Fernando, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Toaster system was mentioned in the June issue of Byte… (compared with Mac and PC 3D rendering software) I think that Pournelle just got an A3000T… Fernando, Buenos Aires, Argentina
For me it's O.K.! If you kwow where to send it, download my message and send it to CBM Marketing.
#RISC-Amiga ???
Message #26595
The future of computer processors is only one: RISC. DEC, IBM, SUN and all the other big "monsters" are working on RISC machines. How is the Amiga Architecture (hard & soft) prepared for RISC ?? Can be easy ported from 68000 to RISC ?? (If the PowerPC computer will emulate…
I agree with you in all!. And also read CD-I article in Byte's last issue! (I send a message in Amigatech!, read it and let me know!) Thanks for answering, Fernando. Buenos Aires, Argentina … and AMIGA!

#Byte's NEW AMIGA??
Message #65081
BYTE magazine is essentially a PC & Mac magazine, but it mentions the word "Amiga" at least once a year to calm Amiga-user's protests (and not with very in-depth reviews). There are a lot of rumours in the Amiga community about the so-called "new generation" Amigas… but a recent article…
re:A590 help!
Message #60443
Thanks a lot, but the fact is that I have a SupraDrive 500XP, wich uses an A590 compatible power supply. That's why I asked about the A590 pin-out. I will greatly appreciate if you can send me the pin-out info. (Simply, pin1=xx, pin2=xx, etc.) Thanks again, Fernando Cassia /exit
A590 help!
Message #59974
Hi! I'm looking for the pinout diagram of A590's power supply connector without success. So, Help! anybody who has it… please tell me. I want to connect an external power supply wich I already own, it has the same outputs that the drive needs, and the same connector, too. It's…

Message #58337
Hi! I'm an Argentine Amiga user, and next week I will go to the U.S. for business meetings. Here in Argentina, Amiga pheripherals are hard to find, and very expensive, too (I bought my DCTV unit for 700 u.s. dollars!!). So, I want to take advantage of my trip, and…
