#CBM 2002
Message #192806
I have a CBM 2002 monitor which just died. For a while, it would randomly turn itself off while powered on. Now, it will no longer turn on. So far, my investigation has shown that the power switch and fuse are OK. There is line power in the chassis when…
It used to be that SAS would send you the patch disk for $5 or $10. Have you contacted them? Chris
I have a Spirit IN1000 board available. It currently has 512K on board and is expandable to 1.5MB with 256Kx1 chips. I think that it is roughly equivalent to the original Insider. It's yours for $75. Chris
Readysoft
Message #148851
What's the story with Readysoft? I've been trying to get information on the status of my AMAX registration and on AMAX IV, but I can't get through their new phone system. I can't get a hold of an actual human being. I've left three separate messages over a month and…
Ah, that is just the point. If you installed GOMF 3.0 it would! 😉 Chris

amax,3000, etc. for sale
Message #141507
What is an AMAX IV+? If you are looking for a small MIDI keyboard, would you be interested in a CZ-101? Chris
Alas no, I must admit that I do not have the pin. Say, how would you like a nice GOMF 3.0 setup to complement your pin? It's the latest fashion among the CBM leaders! Chris
I have a complete GOMF 3.0 package, including the hardware device! Chris
If I remember, that machine went for about $700 new when they were closed out. The additional RAM may be worth $100-$125 per 4MB if it is static column RAM. If there is any software with the machine, that might also be a consideration. NOTE: These are new prices. I…
MAKING IT HAPPEN <<<READ
Message #40178
First off, let me say that I am not qualified to receive the equipment that you posted. However, if you do not place Armor-Geddon, I am interested. This would allow me to connect my Amiga with my son's and play Armor-Geddon with him. He already has a copy. Thanx -…
Well, what do I do now? The registration cards have been mailed. Did you check under the company name (SQURL Associates)? Thanx – Chris PS: If you can, please let me know where the Joseph Scheers is located. I have been unable to find anyone other than my immediate family…
Nope, I've been here for 10 years. Chris
#Adpro registration?
Message #77138
Several months ago I sent in my registration card for Adpro 2.2. Several updates seem to have come out since then and I haven't heard anything. Did my registration get lost? Should I be doing something? The registration is for Chris Scheers, SQURL Associates. The Adpro is serial #60663948. At…
Amiga/PC
Message #132981
My mother has been after me to get her a PC, but I'm not thrilled about it. Is anyone here looking to get rid of an A500 with PC board (GVP?) or an A2000 w/Bridgeboard? I have a budget of $400 and need machine, 40MB or so of disk, monitor…
So how do I get WB 3.1 for my A3000? Chris
Thanx, RenderedToRaw solved my problem. It may just be me, but it wasn't (and still isn't) obvious when you need to use RenderedToRaw. Thanx – Chris
I imported a 16 color "cartoon" type picture. I locked the palette and modified the colors to all be either black or white. This gave me the image that I was looking for. However, when I went to print, the original unmodified image was printed. To apply the modified palette…
I do lock the palette. ADPro is not changing the palette. But it is remapping the colors. It is not leaving my color assignments alone. Chris
ADPro Qs
Message #69730
I am having a problem with ADPro, and would like some advice. I have a 16 color "cartoon" type picture. I am trying to turn it into a black and white "outline" picture. If I go into the palette, I can adjust the colors and get exactly the picture that…
#ADPro Qs
Message #36272
OK, I must be doing something wrong, and I need help to get straightened out! I am trying to change the color map of a picture using ADPro. I modify the palette and get the exact picture that I want, but when I try to do an "Apply Map" or…
There is still the question: Is this a 360K drive or a 1.2M drive? Chris
I have an A3000 in perfect shape with all of the original packaging. However, I would need to get enough for it to replace it with an A4000 ;^) Chris
Test Drive II
Message #103063
My son finds himself desperately in need of Test Drive II. Does anyone have a copy with which they would like to part?
The LW+ is a decent printer, but it is missing a parallel port and it has a fairly early version of PostScript. I have seen demo TI MicroLaser PS35s going for $675. I would recommend this printer. Although it has a slower print engine (6ppm vs. 8ppm), the PostScript interpreter…
Hmmm…. Perhaps I was going to fast to pick up the resource. I'll have to try again. Thanx.
I have an keyboardless A1000 that I have been keeping for spares in case my A1000 dies. The only thing that I have used out of it so far is the mouse. Make me an offer. Chris
If you are interested, I have an A1020 (360K 5 1/4" drive) with Transformer for $50. Chris
When I find resources (I'm assuming that the geometric solid is a resource) I don't ever seem to pick them up, even when I run over them. Then I always end up running out of materials before I get the whole bomb together. Oh well, I'll keep trying. Chris
Perhaps you can help me. I haven't been able to figure out how to pick up resources after you destroy an enemy craft in AmrourGeddon. Any suggestions? Thanx – Chris
DeskJet 500 for sale?
Message #97010
About a week ago a DeskJet 500 was posted for sale. Does anyone know if it is still available? I got caught out of town and was unable to reply. Thanx – Chris
Early A1000s did not have EHB (because it didn't exist yet). The later ones do. Any A1000 may be upgraded to EHB by upgrading the DENISE chip. I believe that you need a rev 6 or later. Chris
You need at least AMAX II for HD support. AMAX 1 won't cut it. The question is, is there an AMAX II driver for your Xetec harddrive? The AmigaDOS driver won't work. Assuming that there is an AMAX II driver for your hardware, and your hardware is SCSI, you MAY…
I'm the one who had jumped in with the AMAX ROMs and drive. Sorry, I had misunderstood your request. If you are running on an A1000, I assume that you are floppy based. If you are fortunate enough to have an A1000 HD that AMAX supports, your choice of system…
Yep, I mean an Apple manufactured and logoed drive. Some people care, some don't. Chris
If you are interested, I have an AMAX w/128K ROMs and true Apple Mac drive for $300. Chris
FYI: Somebody in AmigaWorld is advertising the A590 for $239. Chris
If something comes up that you break out the Digiview, I'm looking for an A500/A2000/A3000 compatible module. I don't need anything else, just the module. Thanx – Chris
I don't need the system or software. I just need a module. I have an A1000 module, but I now have an A3000 and would like to run Digiview on that. Newtek has been of absolutely no help. I don't have any idea of the value of the module either?…
I'll offer $25 for the Digiview. Thanx – Chris
#Sell/Trade or upgrade
Message #90090
Should you decide to dump the Digiview, I'm looking for an A500/A2000/A3000 compatible module. Thanx – Chris
The FRANCES board is a 32 bit 4mb memory board for the LUCAS. It can also remap the kickstart ram, which results in a tremendous boost in performance. My unit is a 20MHz 68020 w/881. It has been modified to hold a 68000 and can switch between the two (with…
Would you be interested in a LUCAS/FRANCES combo? They don't work with my Rejuvenator and I need the chip RAM more than I need the accelerator. Chris
I have a Wangtek drive that supposedly meets the QIC-02 and QIC-36 specs. One is a data format spec and one is the electrical interface spec. I don't remember which is which without going to the manuals, but at least some of the QIC specs are electrical/connector specs. Chris

FYI: IDE controllers don't support tape. Also, on a hard drive, a 50 pin ribbon cable connector is almost always a SCSI interface. On a tape drive, however, it is just as likely to be a QIC-02 (or is it QIC-36?) interface, which needs an adapter to connect it to…
If Patrick is looking for everything else, I am looking for a DigiView Gold module. I currently have an A1000 module and Newtek has been absolutely no help in getting a module for my A3000. Thanx – Chris
If your deal on AV falls through, I have a copy for $35. Chris
If your deal on WP falls through, I have a copy for $45. Chris

What do you want for the II+ card? Does that include the 2.5 software? I have ROMs. Thanx – Chris
