#4000 disk drive prob
Message #181231
At times with a disk already in df0: the drive will suddenly engage as if I had removed the disk and then reinserted the disk. This is not the normal polling of the drive. I can go days without this occurring and then the df0: drive will kind of go…

CBM 4000 Warranty
Message #152592
In Nov my warranty on my A-4000 was about to expire so I dropped it off at my local dealer for warranty work, they replaced the mother board, cpu board and key board. The original 120meg harddrive while working also needed replacement but was on back order, so when C=…
Early SuperGens have to sent back to the factory and modified to work with a AGA 4000, also when this is done you can't use it with the older machines, the unit is AGA only. . Last year I think it was about $20/25 for the work… Eddie.Ski
Dale… You can put me down for a fan and alarm. For about the first year the 4000 would run so hot at times you couldn't place your hand on the back of the case by the hard drive and power supply. I don't know if there's any connection but…
What deck, which deck are you tossing stinking boxes on??? Please not the 03 level, not officer country…. If sooo please drop and give me fifty, NOW!!! Welcome Back Mark……….. Eddie.Ski
On May 9th the UU BBS Sysop replied to the question about the PCMCIA Emplant… "The market is not great enough at this point to warrant production of the PCMCIA version." Eddie.Ski
Lewis… What you need to find out is if your GVP SCSI supports removeable cartridge drives, not all do. Cambria Hights rings a bell, I lived out on the Island (Uniondale), but if you knew someone with our last name it would be from our family. A long time back…
Lewis.. I have been using the SyQuest 105 meg drive with both the Amiga and the Emplant without any problems at all. I saw the ads in AW and they want way too much money, like a external SCSI w/cartridge for $539. MacWarehouse gets $399.95 + $3.00 for next day…
Andrew… Did you need a special cable for the IDEK monitor to connect to the 8100?? I just might be going down the same route, the 8100 is looking mighty fine… Eddie.Ski
Mark, What good is the CD32 version of Microcosm if it only released in PAL??? Eddie.Ski
Mark.. If you get a chance check out the April issue of Stereo Review, it has a four page test report on a Panasonic FZ-1 real 3DO. After reading it, I wouldn't run out and buy one real soon, maybe next year….. Eddie.Ski
I went back and checked the catalog and it does state 25-pin on page 133, but looking through the listing I noticed that there is no listing for a 50-pin terminator so I guess the 25 is a misprint. I checked in a APS catalog and nothing there… What is…
Anthony.. The MAC dealer should have 25-pin SCSI Terminator, if not call MacWarehouse @ 1-800-255-6227. Item # ACC 0601 For $14.96.. Eddie.Ski
Bill, What brand paper are using with the LJ-4L?? On large files mine pumps out a blank page every other page. Its a nice little printer, I just wish the paper tray was slightly larger…. Thanks.. Eddie.Ski
Mark, A few weeks ago I purchsed a CD32 and was very happy with it, the only problem was that the games were ports. I thought let me try the player out with a family with young kids, so I lent it to some friends of mine. The next time…
Busted Buster
Message #135189
Ghris, A while back I read a list in one of the MAC magzines where Apple had made mistakes and refused to do anything about them. I wish I had kept the list, it made for interesting reading. Also last week there was article in the paper about how PC/clone…
Chris.. I live in Texas, maybe the reason I got the motherboard is that I have shopping on and off at the local Amigia dealer since 1986.. Eddie.Ski
Chris.. C= replaced my motherboard, cpu card and the keyboard under the warranty without having to purchase a 4091. C= is also replacing the 120mg HD, but that's on BO. All I did was call my local dealer and ask… Eddie.Ski
Paul If you do upload 3.8 to CIS let me know how it went. The reason I'm asking is that I have 3.8 and I tried to upload it to our local club BBS and Term went crazy. The upload would start normally and then it would start punching out…
Gee, I'm glad you don't work for the IRS, I remember you talking about this connecter sometime early last year, you really have been hunting. I'll be calling TTS this coming week..
Erik.. Thanks, I'll check out RDPrep, its been a long time since I wrote a mount list. UU claims there will be a new version this weekend, as of 00:15-C/23 there's nothing yet… Eddie.Ski
Paul.. Found the problem, when I tried scsi mounter it was in ram, now that I moved it over to the tools dir it works ok… Eddie.Ski
Paul… Thanks, but I did use empscsi.device, both from the WB and the CLI.. Eddie.Ski
Sounds like the same problem alright.. Syquest drive lockup, drive led came on and stayed on after below.. 1st try after Amiga startup, Mac requested startup disk.. 2nd try from Amiga reboot, got the welcome to Macintosh screen, then stopped there. I wonder if it's a conflict with the Mac…
I tried using the Emplant empscsi.device with the CD-Rom (3401) drive as CD0: and it worked, also seemed a lot faster then the 2091. The only problem there is that I can't run the Mac emulation with that setup. It causes the SyQuest that I use as a hard drive…
I have yet to play around with the empscsi.device, the docs I have don't cover it all that well. One of these nights I'll have to dive in and play around and see what I can figure out… I saw where you thought you have to go to Germany for…
Jonathan.. I checked and I didn't select the Sybil option, I have left a msg on the UU-BBS about this printer problem. Now the problem is to get back on to the BBS to see if there is a fix, at this moment I about up to my 70th redial..…
SeQuest.. See what staying up late to call the UU-BB and a few beers will do… The Emplant's running on a 4000/40 using a -SyQuest- 105mg Removable cartridge drive. This way I can use the drive with the Amiga by switching cables and cartridges.. I loaded ClarisWorks and found what…
Jonathan… I had the right version v3.7, I found out I had to delete my old version first, not overwrite it. All's well now.. One thing that rather strange, when I insert a floppy disk it turns on my printer and the problem led, a HP-LJ-L4. I have to hit…
Erik.. I'm using a SeQuest 3105 as my HD for the Emplant with a Toshiba CD-Rom drive on the tail end using the Emplant SCSI connecter without any problems.. My beef is with printing, I'm not into making custom cables.. I downloaded the latest upgrade from UU, it keeps looking…

#Convert Amiga to Mac/PC
Message #127652
Where do I find Apple file exchange??? I use a Mac at work with System 7.1, if you insert a PC-Dos disk all the machine will do is ask you if you want the disk to be formatted, if you say no, it will eject the disk. Having heard about…
Your right about the std 50-pin connector, after reading the manual more closely I hooked one up and it worked just fine. Nothing I have right now is SCSI-2 so I guess I'm alright, later I'll worry about the cable… Actually I'm more interested in the ram expansion and SCSI…
Erik… I just got burnt by another salesman (differnt shop), my Fastlane SCSI board came today. Now when I ordered it, I asked about the external 50-pin Centronics cable and was advd that it came with the board, but they would check and make sure and if not they would…
#floptical problems
Message #121518
Paul… Per 2091 manual you can install 512KB, 1MB or 2MB of memory.. Use only CMOS 256k x 4 DRAMs with a access speed of 120 ns or faster. Slower DRAMs will not work properly. DO NOT use NMOS DRAMs, they will damage the 2091 and void the warranty…. By…
Try calling The Grapevine Group @ 800-292-7445.. Eddie.Ski
Bill… Thanks for that info on the spindles bearings.. Eddie.Ski
Erick.. Which version do you have now?? I have a v39 set that has helped several people, I don't know if there is a newer version set and big C= never alerts anyone about updates.. Overscan v39.5 VGAONLY v39.2 Multiscan v39.14 NTSC v39.6 DBLNTSC v39.32 If anyone has a newer…
It's the INSITE drive, one afternoon it screeched for a moment and then the moments became minutes. You could hear it all over the apt, I shut the drive off, wait a bit, turn it back on and it would be ok for a day or so. But then the…

John… If you want to try something send me your address e-mail and I'll lend you a pre formated disk or two and see what happens. Due to my busted drive I'm not using them at the moment… Eddie.Ski
Edson.. Not yet, but hope to soon, right now all my cash is tied up in a strike kitty in case the airline I work for is shutdown.. Eddie.Ski
Did you click on the "save changes to drive" button after entering the drive configuration into toolbox before trying the low level formt? I made this mistake myself a few weeks ago with mounting a Sequest on a 4000 with a 2091 and had a similar situation. I had a…
Edson.. I suggest you copy this post over to the AmigaVendor foram, UU has recently came on board there.. Eddie.Ski
SyQuest 3105 Prob
Message #119672
Jim .. I found the problem, it was ME. I have changed drives many times before and I don't know what I was thinking about when I added the SeQuest 3105S. What I was doing wrong was forgetting to click on the save changes to drive button after reading the…

#SyQuest3105 Format Prob?
Message #119414
I'm trying to add a SyQuest SQ3105 connected to a 4000 thru a 2091, everything goes alright until I try to do a low-level format. Toolbox says it formating, the drive led comes on and sounds as if it running, but nothing seems to be happening after -2- hours… Any…
Rick… I read where NEC is going to have a upgrade deal in which current MultiSpin owners can exchange their drive for a 3Xe at a reduced price.. Eddie.Ski
Chris.. I ordered one Mon and was also told they were out of stock and on b/o. Wed morning I went out to get the paper and there it was on the doormat, so much for signature required.. Seems to work ok with CIS and my local user BBS, the…
