Any discussion of features which may or may not go into Facc III (should such a product come into being) would be premature. However, if a specification for such a product existed, it would definitely contain a hard disk cache and a lot of other features which may or may…

John, Growing up, I happened upon an experience which I would like to relate to you: In our little town, things were good. People were happy. There was room for all. In our little town there was a fellow who sold cottage cheese but did not sell sour cream (he…

Message #129844
Programming modules hosted by Twin-X is very easy. For some, honest to goodness device drivers need to be written. For others, a device driver would be unwarranted and simple user written code would suf- fice. For example, for our multiple serial port modules (one module with 2 ports, another with…

Bill, Any further thought on allowing us to put an AREXX demo on our next product? What about the idea of AREXX discount coupons to be included in every unit we ship? Perry

Gabe, thanks for your advice! The 2000-and-1 is occupying a lot of our time right now. Not technical issues, but logistical issues. Any idea how many square feet of building space 500 of those suckers take up? We're also thinking of taking the plunge on $20,000 bucks worth of automatic…

#Caveat Emptor
Message #127843
Roy, From sitting on both sides of the issue, I'd like to try to dampen your flames a bit. Very often it really isn't the seller's (distributor, dealer, mail-order house etc) fault that something that really did appear to be in stock is suddenly out of stock. There have been…
#Micron bare boards
Message #127841
Our 2 Meg board (sold by Micron) can be populated with either 16, 32, or 64 256K chips for 512K, 1Meg and 2Meg. Our 8 Meg board can be populated with 16, 32, 48, or 64 1 Meg chips for 2, 4, 6, or 8 megabytes. One bit of trivia,…

Well Larry, it isn't. But, IEEE-959 WAS developed by Intel and therefore has a lot of Intellisms in its design and operation. One of the jobs that Twin-X performs is the conversion of Motorola style signals and timing into/from Intel style signals and timing. Having Intel style timing and signals…

Twin-X is an Amiga 2000 host for an industry standard daughter board interface. Each Twin-X board can host two IEEE-959 dughter boards (or modules) each of which will fully autoconfigure under KickStart 1.2 or later. There are hundreds of modules already in existence including modules implementing: Multiple serial ports, internal…

2000-and-1 cannot possibly give you a fatter agnus. Sorry.

And if it uses cables to attach to the motherboard (as you said) it also doesn't work.

We have every intention of producing the 2000-and-1. John was right though in that we are spending most of our resources in the development and marketting of our newest product, Twin-X. The 2000-and-1 though is not dead and will come to market at some point in the future. (now how…

Jon, 400 dollars retail would not make it possible to sell a product such as the 2000-and-1 whose parts cost is driven quite high by low production volume, insistance on high quality, and many custom mach- ined parts. Also, considering what you get, $400 is not at all a re-…
Roy, No bother, which product would you like a progress report on? Of the two announced but not yet shipping products we have (or don't have 🙂 the SDP is undergoing some reevaluation and the 2000-and-1 is going full steam ahead. I'd be happy to give more detailed answers to…

New Amiga's?
Message #118703
Have you seen the source code to SVR3.2 or later? I have (more than I care to admit) and can tell you that it IS a redesign of older SV releases. Perry (Sex Drugs And Unix) Kivolowitz
In order to find the base address of an autoconfigured board one must employ the expansion.library. You would normally call… FindConfigDev passing the manufacuturer and product id but you probably don't know these for the microbotics disk controller. So instead call FindConfigDev with a -1 for both the manufacuturer and…

Brian, keeping in mind I am not even remotely denigrating the excellent work of JT and BH (for popcli and conman respectively) both of those programs have been show to cause crashes in several of their respective versions. Removing FaccII really has nothing to do with the presence or absence…

Facc
Message #117908
Steve, FaccII does not work on hard disks, true. There are some reasons for this. First, the new file system transfer's data directly to and from the user's address space. Having a program like FaccII for hard disks with the new file system would actually slow the system down by…

Message #115133
Roy, the status of the 2000-and-1 is: Metal Work: Design completed early 1987. Mother Board: Schematics *just* finished. So, we are at least 6 weeks away (more like 8 to 10) from prototype motherboards. The very good news is that we quite expect to have as close to true A2000…

Message #114049
Ben, thank you for the (almost) complement, but I must tell you that writting a driver (vd0:) is much easier than writting a handler (ram:). Can I have some feed back on the following: 1.3 workbench comes with a recoverable ram disk that supports the 1.2.1 kickstart autoboot stuff. This…
Daryl, I find it more than slightly amusing to find that I am fussed over so much especially considering I have not been able to be here much for the last three months. Perhaps you might not have been aware, but ASDG has just completed a move of our entire…

Amazing Computing had my figures redrawn from my IFF originals (for my article PAL HELP in this months Amazing Computing). The artist who redrew figure 2 committed a grave error. The right most write (on top) is INCORRECT! Please follow the directions in the article NOT THE PICTURE. Note To…
If they ST is a Hyundai, I wouldn't quite call the Amiga a Lamborghini. I think A Honda analogy would be more appropriate. A CRX for the A500, and the Sports Model Accord for the 2000. 🙂 🙂 🙂 (-: (-: (-:
Chris, Customer Service…is Customer Service. Please don't hesitate to contact us concerning any questions you might have in the future. We're here to support our products in whatever way we can. By The Way, I have a new manual addendum for the 8MI, if the Sysops won't mind (will they?)…

You bet I can help you Chris, here goes: You can intermix rams of different speeds as much as you wish. No concern need be given as to organizing them in any particular way although some patterns of chips are more esthetically pleasing than others 🙂 Here's some part numbers:…

In the mountlist file there's (or should be anyway) some more information. Summary: copy asdg.vdisk.device to devs: copy mountlist to devs: alter startup sequence. Have at it.
Ted, damn it. I am not leading you anywhere. This is here for discussion. Are you so insecure as to feel threatened by discussion? You've made your point. Give it a rest.
You know Ted, you've got a really bad attitude. This thread is here simply to stimulate conversation and discussion. You contribute messages which are tantamount to personal attacks. In short, bugger off. Besides, with even a modicum of care, anyone with half a brain and doctoral level training in computability…
I do not intend copy protection. I mean purchase verification. There is a world of difference.
