Matt, Unfortunately, both items are sold. Thanks for your interest. David
>Too bad. I had posted a query previously but got no answers. Need the 3.0. Really sorry. CMail is always the best. I check about 6 areas when I log in CIS and don't always hit everyone. David
No, sorry. I had one 3.0 book, but sold it about two weeks back. I have a couple 2.0 ref books including: The AmigaDOS Manual (covers through 2.04) and AmigaDOS Inside & Out Revised (covers through 2.0). David

I have Time Tracker, but I can't say I'm an expert at using it. Shoot me a question and I'll try to answer it (I can always look through the manual). David Czaya …via AutoPilot 73445,407

Monitor Help Needed
Message #163668
I am having a problem and hopefully someone will be able to help. I was using a C= A2320 Display Enhancer card on my A4000 and the monitor wasrock-solid. I no longer have the A2320, so I went to the A4000 video port directly (I picked up the Commodore video…
My dealer has one in his 1200 and it sped up his IDE drive, too. I ordered one, but it has not yet arrived. Something about a last minute PAL change or something which is delaying shipments. David Czaya …via AutoPilot 73445,407

Clock Program Problems
Message #156862
On AtomClock, bump up the stack (give it a good 20,000 bytes) and it'll run fine. David Czaya …via AutoPilot 73445,407

Thanks, but no. I don't think I could exist with a hard drive that slow. I'll probably end up selling the A4000 and going back to my trusty ol' A2000/GVP 030/40 system. That computer never knew the meaning of the word "guru". Thanks anyways. David Czaya …via AutoPilot 73445,407

#IVS Trump/A4000/040
Message #156646
Hi, I just bought an A4000/040 and am absolutely frustrated. After several years of having a 100% stable A2000/68030 system, this thing is like a nightmare. I cannot keep it running for 10 minutes without a crash of some kind. Even deleting files with DirOpus crashed on me. I have…
Yaay! Thank you VERY much! David Czaya
#Jay Miner Gone!

I saw this on Usenet and thought I'd better re-post it as I don't recall seeing it anywhere else around here. ————– The man known to all as The Father of the Amiga is gone. I just pulled this posting off his own BBS, "The Mission", posted there today by…

I'd like to repeat my suggestion at this point… Could someone post a list of Mac Rom chip numbers so that we can take the list in hand to swap meets and buy somewhat more informed? Thanks… PS What's a good price for a used rom these days? David Czaya…
I have a sealed copy of TextCraft and GraphiCraft and can throw in Hacker and the Kalaidoscope disk. Oh, to make things more interesting, I also have a GOMF pin. David Czaya …via AutoPilot 73445,407

Looking for a GVP 4 meg simm. Please leave your price in email. Thanks.
you ever contact the office to make sure they received the FAX?? No, I can't say as I did. The fax was sent successfully, so… No big deal. just wanted the literature so I could make a more informed buying decion (decision) on the Emplant. Thanks. I'll try to dig…
#Emplant ???
Message #78821
Hi, I was just wondering… I had asked a question or two here before and never received an answer. Also, I faxed a request for literature on the Emplant and never received anything. Is everything ok? David Czaya

Understood. What is the typical way of handling these functions then? All I want to do is be able to detect an online/offline condition. If the printer is parallel, it's no problem, how do software writers handle serial printers? Do they simply ignore the conditions? David Czaya …via AutoPilot 73445,407
I will have to go back and try again. I found some commodity code on the DevCon disks and it was significantly different from what is in the RKMs and AmigaMail. I went on to other things and backburnered the commodity stuff for awhile since it did "seem" to be…
Serial Printer Question
Message #40330
Serial Printer question: Which data lines are used by a SERIAL printer to signal "Online", "Offline" and "Paper out/Printer Off"? I am using the printer.device PRD_QUERY command to determine whether my program can print or not. I have the code for a parallel printer working fine, but I'm not familiar…

Commodity bug
Message #40222
I killed myself trying to figure out a 264 byte memory leak in a commodity program I wrote. I just couldn't understand it. On a wild thought, I tried a couple of other commodities and, lo and behold, each and every commodity (including ones from Commodore itself) lose 264 bytes…
Commodity question
Message #40212
I have a question about style. I am writing a commodity and am wondering about the proper way to approach the issue of ToolTypes and command line arguments. I have the commodity working properly with both (WB/Shell) startup methods. I used the commodities.library ArgArray() functions which parse out both ToolTypes…
Software cost
Message #77560
Hi, This may be premature, but do you have any idea about how much extra the 486 PC emulation software will cost (over and above the Emplant itself)? David Czaya

I have a feeling that I will be doing just that (getting the Emplant and using the Mac version of Quicken). Looks like it's time to move after all these years (sheesh, almost 10 years with this computer). David
