Public Screen Program
Message #38939
ALL I have recently written a public screen program which I find to be very useful, but I don't have a good feel for the amount of interest there would be in it. What I would like to do is give a brief description of the program, and receive some…
68040.library
Message #103597
Does anybody know where I can get a copy of 68040.library which is a mmu table for making the 68040 work with ZorroIII I/O devices, and is also required for the new Enforcer. Thankyou.
The 040 only has a basic math fpu, 68882 would be used for trans. math such as sin and cos. Without it the math libraries have to do the trans. math with software. Ed Cruse
#Prog. 68040/3000 accel.
Message #103046
All I've been looking at a Progressive 68040/3000 accelerator board for my A3000, and would appreciate any information about it that anybody can give me. It's a lot cheaper than other boards at $899, and I assume it's cheaper because it runs at 25mhz instead of 28/33mhz, and uses the…
ASDG serial driver
Message #55690
Is there an update serial driver for the ASDG Dual Serial board that's newer than I already have? My driver is several years old. I could not find the serial driver in the ASDG library. Thankyou.
Reselection
Message #27473
All: For sometime now I have been hearing and seeing a term called reselection. On my 2.05 installation disk there are even two icons involved with reselection. My question is, what is reselection, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of using it. I have a 3000 so I can…
If you want to clear the mememory once when it's allocated the memory allocator can be told to that. If you are wanting to clear the memory more then once, then this is how I would do it. First I would make sure that the amount of memory is evenly…
Serial Expansion

Thanks for the info, I need to know for a multi-line bbs.
Serial Expansion
Message #52514
Does anybody know if you can put more than one Commodore 7 port expansion boards into one computer. Say for example two so you can have 15 serial ports. Thankyou.
Thankyou, I tried to become a developer but was turned down. I was able to order the 2.0 developer update even though I am not a developer.
#2.0 Includes
Message #17745
All Does anybody know how I can get the Native Developer Update for 2.0? I already have the Developer Udate for 1.3, but I need to get the include files and Amiga.lib for 2.0. Thankyou. Ed
Andy; I think it was a design change. I delieve Commodore shouldn't have made a design change like that because it was documented the old way. MODE_READWRITE first came out in 1.2 and the Enhancer manual showed it. It's also showed the old way in the 1.3 include files listed…
John; Your exactly right, the modes you showed in your message are the way 2.0 is. The problem is that 1.3 isn't that way or at least versions earlier than 1.3.2. MODE_READWRITE acted exactly the same as MODE_OLDFILE except that it was an exculive lock. This is how MODE_READWRITE acted…
Dos Library
Message #17383
Andy; Last weekend I read a conversation between you and some other person dealing with the DOS library, it appeared that you really knew what you were doing. Therefore, if you don't mind I have a question for you. I have noticed that MODE_READWRITE of the Open() call in the…
#Dual Serial Board
Message #20486
ASDG I have a Dual Serial Board with the lastest driver which I downloaded from here. According to the directions the driver can handle up to 32 serial ports. Does that mean that I can plug another Dual Serial Board into my Amiga, and have the driver automaticlly service the…
Thankyou
Dual Serial Driver
Message #19943
ASDG I heard that you had a new version of the driver for the Dual Serial Board. I looked into your file area and did not find it. Could you please upload it, so I can download it. The version I have is 1.1. Thankyou. Ed
Lock() returns a long word pointer, you have to multiply it by 4 to get a real address. Most of Dos works this way. Ed
Console Device
Message #84306
I'm not sure what you are asking, because a lot of what you are asking doesn't make sense to me. I will try and give you an overall look at how the console.device, and the newcon: work. First of all there is nothing wrong with the console.device, it is strictly…
help with genlock
Message #65239
To All At work we just received an A2500 with a Magney (not sure about the spelling) genlock. It works great by itself, but it causes problems with our frame grabber. Both factories were called and they said that no frame grabber will work with this particular genlock. Well I…
Thanks
My local dealer is going out of business so I don't have a source of Commodore products locally. What's the best mail order to get FAT AGNUS, and how much does she cost. Is FAT AGNUS a product that is easily available, or is it a product that Commodore let…
The book is the original books C put out. It's just called Rom Kernal Manual volume one. You should also get volume two because it list the actual system routines.

#IO_STATUin serial iob
Message #110187
All, The problem that I am having, is that flag #11 in IO_STATUS of the serial io message block, never sets. This flag is the (transmit x-OFFed) flag. What I am doing, is writing a terminal program. I've created a secondary process from within the main program, and this process…
Bill, Is FACII from Perry or is it someother company, and if it is what company? Also how well does it really work? Does it speed up reading and writing of large files, like more then 100k? What about reading and writing alot of little files like coping a directory…

I feel that .arc is not all that difficult to use, once you get the hang of it. Better documentation would help that a lot. The one thing that I feel that makes .arc more desirable is that it does condense the files more. This is of concerned to me,…
Thanks everybody. Marlene the file that I uploaded was rename in the C: directory. I will look into the problem with Tymnet, but I in the Ed
Don, Thanks for your patients. I have found the problem, and it's not me and it's not CIS. Normally I access CIS through the local Tymnet node, so just out of desperation I made a long distance call to El Paso Texas and used the CIS node there. The upload…
Don, Thanks for getting back to me. I went ahead and tried DL11 again with no luck, and then I tried DL1, and still no luck. The reason I see the capital c is because it takes a little while to get set up so I miss the first one,…
#Upload problems
Message #93611
Dear Sysop: I seem to be having serious amounts of difficulty uploading to your data libraries, DL11 to be exact. To answer your first question, yes I have successfully upload several files to Compuserve with no problems, with the same software, and when your system was under even greater load.…

#slow fast ram
Message #64214
I have two megs worth of Cardco expansion ram. Everybody tells me that expansion ram is faster then internal ram. Well all the tests that I have done with my Amiga show that the Cardco ram is definitely slower. My flight simulater runs slower, my assembler runs slower, and for…

Amiga Keyboard
Message #41790
I still think I have a to sensitive keyboard because I've been using electric typewriters for years and I haven't had this much trouble. This keyboard is much more sensitive than a electric typewriter. All well I guess life is tuff all over.
Thankyou very much I'll keep you in mind.
