Dean, Thanks for the address. (The board is already on its way.) Wayde
Mark, > GVP… we can't talk to Commodore about any Amiga… that has 2MB of > chip memory. They didn't build it, they don't support it. That's why I needed DKB's address (in another message). I recently upgraded from a revision 4.2 to a revision 6.3 CBM A2000 motherboard. The…
Chris, That's the older address and telephone number, but thank's for the the response. Wayde
#DKB Software?
Message #66427
Does anybody know the address for DKB Software? I've been trying to call them at 1-(313) 960-8750 but it's been busy for the past two days… Thanks in advance. Wayde
When you play a CD-V disc on a Pioneer CLD-3030: (1) the player recognizes the format of the disc and immediately goes to the video track (I am not certain, but I believe that the video track is always track 5), (2) it plays the video track, (3) after it…
Karl, IMHO the sound from the 3030 is pretty good. I had two other (an old Sony portable and an old Technics tabletop) CD players when I bought the 3030. I gave both of them away because, at least to me, the 3030 sounded better. By the way, the 3030…
Karl, I have a Pioneer 3030, and have digitized some frames from a number of CLV (as well as CAV) discs using the digital frame store capability of the player and Digi-View via the Color Splitter. (In other words, the 3030 DOES have a digital frame store.) The differences in…
Tom, I just tried something else (without resorting to reading the manual :), and may have found out what we're supposed to do to read the messages: When you define a new forum in Whap! by double-clicking on an empty box and entering the forum name, you should also click…
Tom, Whap! issues a "HI;L" command for me on entry into a new forum too. Whenever I want to see what was available before I joined, I go back in under terminal mode and reset the high message number to 1 before the first available message number for each new…
Rob, Professional Oracle — it that the one that required 10MB of disk space and 3MB of RAM? I remember receiving a mailing for such a software package, but also remember not ordering it… Wayde

Should C= Run O/S-2?
Message #116717
Tony, > once someone figures out how to network O/S-2 machines. The lab that I work for is USING a version of the OS/2 networking product: it's called OS/2 LAN Manager, and it SUCKS BIG TIME! OS/2 LAN Manager, currently version 1.2 (we're running 1.1), is: 1) A memory hog.…
Inkjet printers
Message #115619
Mark, Try Go Amigo (800) 232-6442. I bought my Xerox 4020 printer from them a couple years ago and their ad in AmigaWorld states that they also sell the HP Paintjet and Deskjet. May I make a suggestion? If you do decide to get a color inkjet printer, go with…

#DIGIVIEW 4.0 (HELP!)
Message #113732
Sergio, > …all is working fine. Did you get DigiView to work WITH your modem connected to the serial port? If it still doesn't work, then you may have treated the symptom rather than fixed the problem… I don't know how the Color Splitter is made; someone else may already…
Bob, (Breaking into the thread again.) 1) As far as I know, all current players are capable of playing both formats. Most of the newer "combination" players can also play other types of discs (CDs, 3" CD singles, 5" CD-Vs, etc.). 2) The easiest way to tell if something is…
Karl, (We can obviously deviate quite a bit without causing an uproar 🙂 Wayde
Karl, Urusei Yatsura (which translates as "Those Obnoxious Aliens") is also a comic book series and was (I don't know if it still is) being translated by Viz Comics as "Lum". Lum is the main character of the series: your typical green-haired alien girl (with horns) who tends to wear…
Steve, I know what you mean. I read the message thread in the Comics forum, saw the ad in NewType and Animage, looked at my tally of the remaining balance on all of my credit cards…and realized that I couldn't afford it (especially since I intend to get another computer…
Steve, > Price of disks. Very often, especially with disks from Japan… (Sorry for breaking into the thread.) You wouldn't happen to be talking about something that costs 330,000 yen (and comes on 50 laserdiscs) would you? Wayde
Chris, Please remember that I have my Syquest SQ555 drive connected to my GVP HC-40Q hardcard and am using the GVP SCSI device driver supplied with the card. Note that this device driver DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY RECOGNIZE A DISK CHANGE. With that in mind, my mountlist entry for the drive…
Larry, Thanks for the info RE: Enable Parity jumper. However, I don't really have a problem (I think ). As far as I can tell my hard drive and my Syquest removeable cartridge drive are co-existing without any problems. Actually, I'm waiting for my Quantum 40MB drive to completely fail:…
Removable Hard Drives
Message #101993
Ray, OOPS! Re-reading what I had previously written, I realized that I did not mention one very important step: I removed a jumper from the Quantum hard disk drive. Note that I did this without consulting any documentation whatsoever — that it did what I had intended was due purely…
Chris, DO NOT USE A LOWCYL VALUE OF 0! Page 34 of the GVP Impact Installation and User's Guide states the formula for the LowCyl value is [(LowCyl-1) x Surfaces x BlocksPerTrack] + 1 which means that the minimum LowCyl value is 1 (from the + 1 part of the…

Ramanjeet, $76 per cartridge? Hmmm…have to get the office to start ordering cartridges from MAYA instead of HDI. Wayde

Lloyd, > So while the Syquest didn't work my '386… We DO have the Syquest/Seagate ST-01/Syquest Utility Software combination working in a (Dell System 310) '386-based machine at my office. It was also ordered from Hard Drives International. However, I was not the person who installed it…so I don't know…

#Removable Hard Drives
Message #100083
Ray, I have my Syquest drive connected to a GVP hardcard. It doesn't take much of anything to connect it to the hardcard: all you need is a mountlist entry and a three-connector SCSI cable (to replace the very short cable that connects the on-board hard disk drive to the…
Raman, I bought my Syquest drive from Hard Drives International for approximately the same price that you paid. Mine came with one cartridge, a 50-pin SCSI cable, and a SCSI host adaptor for an IBM PC-compatible for $599 plus $20 shipping and handling. How much does MAC-ZONE charge for extra…
There was a memory card made by AST that was called the Rampage 2. It has since been replaced by the Rampage Plus 286. The Rampage Plus 286 uses SIMMS to add more memory, up to 8MB (using 1MB SIMMS in 2MB increments), and allows the attachment of a piggyback…
Jamie, No, I have a HP Laserjet series II with 2MB. I haven't had time to play around with the fonts yet. Real soon now. Wayde
It is distributed on five diskettes. The above information comes direct from the 14-page manual that is included with the package. (I haven't had a chance yet to try out the fonts on either the HP Laserjet or my Xerox 4020.) I sent in my order after receiving the upgrade…

Justin, I received my copy of the Compugraphics Outline Fonts package from Gold Disk today, 09 March 1990. I ordered it way back when (my records indicate that I sent for it on 29 November 1989). The package includes the following: Two programs, CreateFont – a program to generate Amiga…

#IFF to GX2 or PCX
Message #29928
Someone else has replied with the name and address of the company that developed HIJAAK. However, please note that HIJAAK, at least as of version 1.1B, cannot convert HAM and Extra-halfbrite mode IFF files. If you are trying to convert files with more than 32 colors, you should first convert…
The AST 3G-Plus video board is an EGA card. All of the EGA cards that I have seen use 64Kx4 chips (except for the original IBM EGA, which uses 16Kx4). It seems likely that the AST 3G-Plus also uses the 64Kx4 chips.
Tony, I know what you mean about MS-DOS machines, since that is what I use at work. Hpwever, there is a freeware program that can delete both files and sub-directories in the MS-DOS world. The program is named RM_TREE an can be found on the PCMagNet. RM_TREE will delete all…

New color printer
Message #20038
The supplies are shipped/mailed to you (I receive shipments, both express and regular mail, in 5 days — and I live way out here in Hawaii). The bill follows at the end of the month (so that you normally pay for supplies AFTER they have arrived). I have had my…

New color printer
Message #20037
David, I assume that you are using Preferences 1.3 (since you mention dithering, etc.). If so, use the Xerox_4020 printer driver (it gives much better color reproduction). Dithering — Half-tone (which seems to print digitized photos better than any of the other dithering methods) Density — 2 (use 1 if…
