It's the Power Point, about 1 year old. Dennis
Mark, Yes, $100.00 including shipping. Dennis
Yes it will. You have to have 2.04 or higher, though. Dennis

MagicWB 2.0 should be at least twice as fast 1.2p on your A600. That alone should be worth the investment for someone with an un-accelerated system. The blue background is an AGA thing and won't work on the A600. It looks great on my A1200 though 🙂 Dennis ….on AutoPilot

Roy, I don't think Timm was ever on CIS. He used to have a support BBS for SID but it's been down for at least a couple of years now. Dennis ….on AutoPilot
Gary, The Sony GVM1311Q is a 14" and will handle all the Amiga display modes. It's about $1000.00, plus I think the base is extra. If you can do without Super72 and the 15kHz modes take a look at the Sony CPD1430 or the NEC 4FGe (about $550.00 and $700.00).…
Do you have HyperCache? I've had it do some funny things on my A1200. I had to change the pre-fetch to 2 to solve a problem with GIF and JPEG files causing a lock-up while loading. AIBB will not usually run with Hyper-Cache on either. It does the same thing…
If you don't want to convert them to iff but only want to view them, check out Viewtek. If you really do want to convert them, Rend24 is the best choice. Dennis ….on AutoPilot

If you don't have a need for SCSI, DeVine has a great deal on the Micrbotics M1230XA. It's the 33mHz 68030 with MMU and a 33mHz 68882 math chip for only $299.00. I got one a couple of months ago and it works great! Dennis ….on AutoPilot
Iain, The first thing I would try is getting rid of that ConfigScanner command and put it in the user-startup if possible. It's a VERY bad idea to run ANYTHING before the setpatch command. Just put a ";" in front of the line to "comment" it out of the startup…
Iain, I doubt that the board is the problem. Have you made any other changes to the startup-sequence? Most IPrefs errors seem to be traceable to changes made in the startup-sequence that should have been made in the user-startup. It could also be that your AutoXA program is corrupted in…
Iain, If the AutoXA program is in the Utilities drawer the line should read SYS:UTILITIES/AutoXA >NIL:. Also, you do not need the SetXA command when using AutoXA. Dennis ….on AutoPilot

Clay, The best thing you could do with HDBackup is to delete it and pretend it never existed. Many people have had a great deal of trouble with it. If your only problem with it so far was to find out that commpression does not work, and it doesn't, consider…

Ben, Do you have an upgrade program for for users of competitive software who want to switch to R/t? If so, who do I call and how much would it cost? Dennis ….on AutoPilot

Your monitor tastes sound similar to mine. I think the only one you would be satisfied with is the Sony GVM-1311Q. It does 15-36kHz with no borders and has the typical excellent Sony image. Now the bad news. It sells at a discount for $1000.00 plus the price of a…
Redmond, Do you have any sort of trade in program? I currently have the MBX1200 and am interested in the XA. Dennis ….on AutoPilot
You'll have to get them from your dealer. Dennis ….on AutoPilot
Rick, Put the "VGAOnly" driver in your Monitors drawer. This should solve the centering problem. Commodore is supposed to have new monitor drivers and a new Overscan preferences program out to cure this the right way but most dealers don't seem to have them yet. Dennis ….on AutoPilot
Paul, What I posted is the way I have it set up. I hadn't tried to create any archives from multiple files so I just tested that too and it worked fine. It also seems to have worked for Michael. Did you possibly substitue a 0 for the O at…
Michael, I have a button set up the following way to archive files: AmigaDOS DH0:C2/LHA a {d}{RsEnter archive name:}{O} And I have the following flags set: CD source Do all files Output window Rescan destination This will archive the selected files in the current window and the resulting archive will…
Pat, Just change the maxtransfer to 0x1ffff. Dennis ….on AutoPilot
Jonathan, The amperage rating of a power supply is only a concern if it is too low. The unit hooked to the supply determines to amount of draw. The rating of the supply only tells how many amps it can provide if called on to do so. Thus, a 4…
Sony Monitor For Sale
Message #90054
Chris, I have the factory service manual for my Sony CPD-1304S and it decribes the procedure for convergence adjustment so it's definitly possible for the convergence to be off on a Trinitron tube. Dennis ….on AutoPilot
John, I wouldn't let that stop you from buying an A1200, I have one and love it! All you really *NEED* to install a hard drive (other than a 44 pin IDE cable and four screws) is a copy of HDToolbox. Having the 3.0 Install disc would make things easier,…
I wasn't using the default configuration I was using my old defaults from the previous version of Opus. My old hot key combo worked for a while then stopped. When I changed the combination it started working again and has been OK since. Dennis ….on AutoPilot
Fortunatly I'm not into games very much so I don't have too much of a problem giving up anything that needs the lower scan rates. The flicker free displays are more important to me. Dennis ….on AutoPilot
I ran into this too. When I changed my hot key comination everything was fine again. Dennis ….on AutoPilot
It works fine. Way faster than the AdIDE and Quantum LPS setup that I had in my A500. I did reset the MaxTransfer to 0x1ffff as had been suggested. I never tried it with the stock setting. Dennis ….on AutoPilot
Bob, Unfortunatly the answer to your question is to buy another monitor. You have to have a VGA or mulitscan monitor to use any of the non-flickering modes on the A1200. Dennis ….on AutoPilot
Misc A500 stuff

******** FOR SALE ******** Amiga 500 with: 2.1, AdIDE with 52meg Quantum LPS drive, Supra 500RX with 2meg 1X4 ZIPs, Flicker Free Video 2, external floppy, BigFoot power supply, and Princeton Graphic Ultra 1400 monitor.

Jim, I have the Microbotics ram board with 4 meg, the 85 meg Maxtor, and an external floppy on my A1200 and have had no problems so far. I was a bit suprised to see that the 1200's power supply was smaller than my 500's. Commodore didn't realy intend for…
Joe, I have a MBX1200, no clock. I dragged the Time preferences into the WBStartup drawer for the time being so I don't forget to set the time. Dennis ….on AutoPilot
Dom, I'm getting a bit tired of this also. This is a public area, if you did not want responses from other people you should have sent private Email to Inovatronics. Dennis ….on AutoPilot
Donovan, I talked to Moonlighter today and they said AmiBack Tools will not ship until next week. Some sort of problem with the boxes. Dennis ….on AutoPilot
Mark, The best way to fix the problem is to delete HDBackup and buy AmiBack or Quarterback. Data compression just plain does not work but worse than that many people have made backups with it thinking that everything was fine only to find that when they needed to they could…
Bill, I havn't heard from them either so I just called their toll free number today and ordered the upgrade. They said it should go out tomorrow. As long as you are registered that's all you have to do. The number is 1-800-875-8499. Dennis ….on AutoPilot
Martin, The way I see it, what I paid originally for DirOpus plus the $40.00 upgrade is about the same as what the first time buyer would pay for 4.0 except that I have had the use of the older version for the last year. I don't see any problem…
I tried two NEC 3FGx monitors for my A500 with FFV2 before giving up on them and going to a Sony CPD1304S. Both of the NECs had SEVERE convergence problems that resulted in large portions of the grey WB background having a blotchy brownish look. Two separate reviews of the…
Mark, I had been using Whap! for the last year before switching to AutoPilot and I was saving about 50% AND visiting more forums. It makes a big difference. Dennis ….on AutoPilot
Mark, I think it was the "buy a 3000 get a free CDTV" offer that was recinded and replaced with the $1499.00 3000 offer. Dennis ….on AutoPilot
Pat, No, I'm afraid not. About all I can tell you is that I bought it about ten months ago. Dennis – via Whap!
Pat, I have the same system, A500 (rev 6a), 500RX (2meg), AD-IDE (52 meg Quantum) and 2.04 and have not had a bit of trouble of any kind. Dennis – via Whap!
Michael, HDBackup looks like it is working properly when doing a backup but almost everyone who has used it has had at least some trouble when trying to restore from it. I was able to restore after reformatting but only after quite a bit of trial and error. Others have…
