If your printer has HP Laserjet support, use that. What happened was that the printer probably ran out of memory. Each pixel on that page is a LINE is postscript. Consider that "standard" fax resolution is around 100×100 dpi, this gives you 10,000 pixels/square inch. with 93.5 square inches on…
#GPFax/Fax-Modem
Message #163140
Check your printer preferences in final writer. Change to "Single Sheet" or some such. This won't cause the printer to ask you to insert a page, it will just use form-feeds to seperate the pages instead of the line-feeds it will use otherwise. Needless to say, it's the form-feeds that…
#GPFax and prt.dev v.42
Message #163139
The device kills ANYTHING that redirects printer output. With the POSSIBLE exception of CMD… Never got around to trying that. I'm back using ParPrefs for redirecting the port output. Bit of a bummer, it was _so_ nice to be able to set up a laserjet on PAR:, an epson on…
#IOEx/Final Copy IIr2 prb
Message #89131
I have an IOExtender that seems to hate Final Copy II. When I try to use the GVP IOControl program to print using Final Copy to the parallel port on the IOEx, FC II simply hangs. I CAN get around this and still print to the IOEx, but only by…
BB in a 4000 OK?
Message #148876
Hi, I want to put a 386SX Bridgeboard into my A3000, what do I need to worry about? (Janus? Buster?) TIA, Brian Brian
The fun thing about this is that I don't reacll too many ZIII-DMA questions until the 4091 surfaced. Heck, the 3000's buster was even worse than the 4000's. It hated certain ZII devices (PhonePak, anyone?). You can't test for bugs in a bus controller until something comes along that actually…
Netrek? tell me more…
Have you dropped the MaxTransfer down to $1fffe on both drives? Worth a shot… _Should_ only be needed for _some_ IDE drives, but you never can tell. Brian — Cruising on AutoPilot…..
Well, I _think_ there are still people out there using KS/WB 1.2. There ain't no such aminal as a universal upgrade. 3.x is _lovely_, but some people won't go to it for various reasons… Brian Brian
Bad Upgrade disk!
Message #72797
Help! I just got my Directory Opus 4.11 upgrade, and the disk is bad! (Checksum error reading block 239 — in the middle of dopus.library) Is there some way a replacement file set can be sent to me via binary e-mail? Thanks, Brian Cowan Concord, CA Brian — Cruising on…

Well, when the place I did temp work load PC Support/400, and Novell Netware on the same PS/2, and then threw Windows into the resulting mess, er, mix, all kinds of things happened. Brian — Cruising on AutoPilot…..
Don't forget the A**nineSystem/400. You want to kill a DOS PC, run PC Support/400. Onle network software I know that will cause the "MEM" command to hang _ON_IBM_PS/2s_ONLY_! It's bad when even IBM software hates IBM PS/2's Brian — Cruising on AutoPilot…..
#GPFax
Message #127637
And soon, by international mail standards, I will have my copy of the "generic class 2" software so I can get my PPI modem running. Anyone using the PPi PM14400FXMT with this software? Off topic: Dale, do you know who (if anyone) is taking over AS225r2 development? Brian Brian
Guys, How about telling me what error #33 is. To recap: Before A4000 power-on: no SCSI devices on ths bus will come on-line. Is the 4008 designed to hold the SCSI reset line down when it's not powered up? On coldboot: I can't see my CD-ROM, until I warmboot. I…
Basically, just call (with a visa or MC handy) and order it… Brian
Ah, but when pressed, Texel will admit that their drives, before ROM version 1.09, would lock up when unsed in "multi-tasking" environments like OS/2. _Especially_ if the drive wasn't the only thing on the SCSI Bus. Brian Brian
#a4008 oddities.
Message #70778
Is this a bug or a feature? When I have my Syquest and my Texel DM-5024 (Rom Ver 1.10) hooked to my brand new A4008 Controller, they _will_not_ finish their "run up" and go ready until the A4000(or the A4008) initializes. On the Syquest, the heads _WILL_NOT_LOAD until a few…
Franz, Avoid PCMCIA RAM expansion if you can help it. It's often SLOWER THAN CHIP RAM. Get something like the Microbotics 1200z RAM/Clock/FPU card. It costs less with 4MB and a good 68882, than any 2MB PCMCIA memory card I've seen. The only problem with using a VGA monitor with…
Well, I'd be check the ROM version on the drive, some older Texel drives just DID NOT LIKE co-existing with hard drives. Specifically v1.04-1.08. V. 1.09 will usually work, and 1.1 is supposed to be their "Latest and greatest." I Had the DM-5024 (External) running for 6 months on my…

Do you have any Fast RAM in the system? That should speed things up somewhat. Brian // Brian — Cruising on AutoPilot….. \X/

Autopilot
Message #124674
Graeme, You don't want the AT&W in there. this stores the rest of the configuration you set (AT&C1&D2) semi-permanently so that you don't have to type it anymore. Strip it out of there and see if you still get "ERROR." Brian // Brian — Cruising on AutoPilot….. \X/

#Networking Announcement
Message #124672
PLEASE Hurry! I would love to get amigas and TCP/IP+NFS running… BTW: Does AS225R2 and/or Envoy support printer redirection, or do I have to use my CMD kludge…
I think you're missing something here. There is a case to be made that 1-2-3 and Excel are "Functionally Equivalent" in that they do much the same thing. I wouldn't say that either is "stealing" from the other. Now, let's say that someone wanted to do image manipulation on the…
Sounds like a plan, but toss in a Zorro II memory board as well, the Phone Pak doesn't like the 3000's somewhat busted buster. // Brian — Cruising on AutoPilot….. \X/
You don't need a de-interlacer for the 1200. Move the DBLPal monitor driver out of "storage/monitors" into "Devs/monitors" and you should be set. (You do use PAL there, right?) Brian — Cruising on AutoPilot…..
Amiga Networking
Message #120974
Sounds typical to me. Blast it! if Oxxi could afford $15K to get the client Netware Core Protocol Documentation, they can afford to take a month or so to update their flaming client software. Heck, they don't even provide API information to allow people to port netware-aware software to the…
A1200 & the CD32
Message #120972
Complete waste of time… The CD32 is more or less a 1200 without keyboard, floppy drive, or rodent. I expect that C= will eventually release a keyboard/mouse/floppy/hard drive combo for the CD32.
A1200 & the CD32

I hate to be a nuisance, but SCSI I is only 8 bits wide, and SCSI II "only" goes up to 16 bits. Neither comes close to pushing PCMCIA's max transfer rate…

Well, I guess I'll just stick with C then. Even MicroSloth gave up on Runtime Library licensing fees. Brian — Cruising on AutoPilot…..

Excellence.doc to WP ?
Message #112794
Well, there are NO 100% reliable format conversion programs out there on any platform. Usually, text is all you get. Fancy, specialized formatting often confuses what conversion programs there are. If Excellence!'s file format is available, you may be able to create a conversion program. Convert it to some simple,…

Eight or 16-bit ethernet cards? I'm trying to compare like quantities. I picked SMC cards entirely because I'm familiar with them. They are 90% software configurable, so are somewhat comparable with Zorro-II cards… // Brian — Cruising on AutoPilot….. \X/
The price differential is "only" 2x, not 3-4x. I'm comparing SMC's Plus Elite 16 (~$150) to the ASDG Lan Rover (~$300). Sure it's twice the price. But it's less than 1/2 the market. LAN cards for Amigas arent' exactly big sellers…. // Brian — Cruising on AutoPilot….. \X/
"Amigo Business…" has it. Look in last month's Amazing Computing… // Brian — Cruising on AutoPilot….. \X/
