Keith will no doubt reply himself soon, but I can tell you that he's working for a company doing their Macintosh programming. I don't believe that he's completely abandoned the Amiga, but realistically how many hours can you look at code without losing a few marbles. regards, greg
>As I understand it, HP doesn't recommend using the black ink at the same >time as the colored ink. … Andy, I find that to be pretty interesting that HP would have a recommendation like that, and yet include a calibration routine on their Macintosh driver to align the black…
Steve: Any particular reason why it wouldn't work on your 2000? regards, greg
Joe: It does work. It's not the easiest program to understand, but it does work. I'd suggest the you carefully check the documentation again, because the command structure is VERY syntactically specific. I tried it out on my Amiga 2000 through my 2232 board (yes Virginia, it does support multiple…
Steve: Where do I send the check and when? I've used Whap! all these years and this sounds even better. I want it and I want it now! "…Give him an extra dollar." " An extra dollar? Yes sir." -"Young Frankenstein" regards, greg
Ed: According to the A2232 manual, Page 1, the last sentence of the first paragraph: "Up to five A2232 Multiport Serial Cards may be installed in a single Amiga 2000" Your mileage may vary. Void where prohibited, taxed or restricted. Subject to change without notice. Of course, I need to…
Hmmmmm. Curiouser and curiouser. Well, I just ordered the upgrade ROM and am waiting. Probably just as well, I tore apart my 2000 and discovered that the FASTROM I have is only version 3.07. This may help solve some other SCSI inconsistencies I've seen (like my quantum hanging for no…

SCSI tape problems
Message #21131
Yea, near as I can tell (without ripping my 2000 apart, which I'll probably have to do anyway) I have 3.7. Time for a few phone calls. Thanks for your help. regards, greg
Well, that's at least reassuring. I tried to get it to work on my system most of Tuesday night with little or no success. I couldn't even see the device after doing a SCSI scan. I checked the gvpscsi.device and it says it's version 3.7, so that could be part…
#SCSI tape problems
Message #20841
Steve: I know it's been about two months since you posted your message about using the GVP SCSI controller with the A3070 tape drive, but I need to know, did you ever get it working? regards, greg
#ADPro Registration
Message #25639
Perry: I recently (well relatively recently) purchased a copy of ADPro. I was unable to locate any registration information/cards. Any way I can get my copy registered? regards, greg
Roy, I for one would definitely be interested in more information on the TW523. I have made a couple of abortive attempts to master the 290. I have basically given up because I suspect my 290 is somewhat faulty and don't feel like spending the $$$ for a new one.…

Amax & Checkfree
Message #10150
Art: Maybe you should tell them what you really have, and mildly suggest to them that there's a market out there, waiting to be exploited by innovative, capitalistic, money grubbers. Maybe it would lead to a revolution of former Mac developers clamoring to port their Mac software to the Amiga.…
Well Harry, since no one has yet addressed your other questions, I'll try. For Books on C, I'd have to recommend C Primer Plus (Howard W. Sams & company) by Waite, Prata and Martin. I'd also recommend the New C Primer Plus (Howard Sams again) from the Waite Group. For…
Bob: Quick question. Does the Seiko work with the standard Amiga RGB? My impression from the literature on it is that it doesn't, and I want my impression to be wrong. regards,
Ethan: I think I have a use that's nearly ideal for CD-ROM. Got the idea from the offering of the Superman comics on microfiche. Why not on CD ROM? With that much storage you could get whole Marvel set (or what have you) on a couple of CD's. Probably won't…
John: I would be interested in learning more about a TS/Imagine group. Send me more details please. regards, greg
Paul, You can try the NEC pinwriter Driver. It's located on your Extras diskette. I should give you some additional densities. regards, greg
larry: How about a guided tour of your Amiga: the RKM in ROM with a complete set of AutoDocs. Add video for how to set up, add to, or maybe even fix a troublesome system. Yea, that's the ticket. regards, greg
I'm afraid I missed most of the previous VM discussions. Yes, I agree that the operating system can't be made foolproof (otherwise only fools would want to use it (sick Murphy-ish grin)), but at the same time I think that there can also be steps taken to make the system…
John: (at least I think I remember it as John) I don't view VM as necessarily a panacea. I view it more for providing certain hardware and software tools. Part of what I would expect to be provided by VM is a certain level of hardware protection (say the memory…

Virtual Memory on Amiga
Message #89870
I found it to be of definite interest. Thanks for posting it. But to stretch it into some feasible speculation, say based on that posting, virtual memory could be available for the Amy, say in the 1.4 follow on release. (1.5 or 2.0, who knows?) The only question is: Can…
Steve: I wish I could, but all I have access to is the 6.2b's (a friend's actually) and 4.3's(another friend's). The folks at Progressive Peripherals are the people that have the 6.0. They told me that they ran the board overnite and ran 43 successful passes of the ASDG memory…
Ray: I heard the same thing. So I tried a quick test with the 68000 from my 1000. Swapped em and tried it. No change, no better, no worse. I left the 68000s swapped (don't care to do too much swapping of those BIG chips) and the 1000 is still…

Motherboard from Hell
Message #87864
Well Steve, maybe I kept it too short. I contacted Micron; they directed me to ASDG (original designers of the memory board) and Progressive Peripherals (who is now handling the repairs). I contacted Perry K., who told me to try a 16Mhz 68000. (If I can try it on a…
I don't know if this is on the subject or not but, back in the old days (like 1979) when I was in school, the latest rage (well supposed rage) was something called SOS, Silicon On Saphire. As I can best recall there were a couple of reasons for doing…
Ok, I won't ask you which chip was replaced. I will ask you two other questions though . Was the chip replaced a socketed chip or was it soldered into the motherboard? (That might narrow it down anyway.) And just to confirm the symptoms, did the problems on your system…
MotherBoard Woes
Message #69237
Lee, I seem to recall back in July or August you were having a problem with your A2000 and an ASDG (or Micron) memory board. (Somewhere in Amigavendor Forum) What I remember is that the solution was to replace a bad chip on your mother board. I think my system…
Gee Ben, you sound a lot like a few car salesmen I have been listening to lately. Are you sure your not a closet Toyota salesman? later Greg H
Larry: I'll take two of those please! Greg H
Jim: I'm only passing along the idea. I wired it up so it looks like a mouse but it still is pretty standard. In fact I can still use it as a joystick if I want. Now if they are selling these trackballs for less than $20 then I think…
Dan: If you are handy with a soldering iron, the Atari track ball works very nicely with the Amiga (after a few mods). I think the directions are somewhere in DL11. I made the mods in about one hour. My only complaint is I just can't quite set the buttons…
