Sleep is the time we spend reading mail.
Thanks Rob et all ok, at the very least, I'll remove the shrink wrap and haul out the disks, install OS2 and skip the sleep part. – ken
Bill; Ah yes OS/2, yet another operating system. I have looked at 0S/2, but not "closely" as you recommend (it's still shrinkwrapped ). There is a mature heated debate (everywhere) regarding which platform to choose (with the proper foresight). There is also an attempt by many to build platform generic…
John; Sorry (in advance) if I responded in that "tone of voice". The software (to my customers) is not out-of-date since it provides an enormous amount of functionality in comparison to my competitors, and to my customers' previous approach. I am not at all unhappy with the product, and it…
Bill: Sorry I did not reply, thanks for the info on the A3000/A4000. BTW, do you (or anyone) know about any problems with creating code that is not inherently "32bit pure" using the MANX (v.so old I can't remember which it is) C compiler? Note that there are no ASM…
So, I've attracted some fun filled remarks in regards to my 1.5 ROMS. Gosh, maybe I should claim it was a typo…. . Thanks for the help. Who knows, maybe we will get lucky and our 1.3 code will run better on a A4000 with 3.x than it did on…
Bill; Thanks for the inevritable news. It's been literaly years since I did any AMIGA research / development. For years (in the US) Commadore sold the A2000 and simply upgraded periferals, expansion cards etc. Obviously, the A3000 and A4000 are hardware revisions. Assuming I can solve my other problems, are…
Would this be the Same John Foust, University of Wisconsin Madison, 1982- ? If so, I would expect no less than a reply whos goal was to *flame* rather than to help. Never the less, thanks for responding, good to hear from you again. Oh, If you have a source…
Thanks for the info Dale, The software in question was developed for / by us for an industrial market niche. We are currently porting it to *WINDOWS* due to marketing pressures etc. However, we still are marketing the product until the new release is ready. The system runs in the…
OLD ROMS
Message #38016
You guys are going to think I'm crazy, but I need to run 1.5? ROMS and 1.3 os on a 4000. Can I replace the 2.xx ROMS with 1.5? ROMS. This has been sucessful on 2000's in the past. Yes yes, I know that it would be better to make…
#1.5 ROMS ON 4000'S
Message #38015
This may sound stupid, but I need to run my software on 1.5 roms. When distributing systems, I have been replacing the 2.0 roms with 1.5. Since I have no plans to redevelope this particular package under 2.0, I must continue this practice. However, 2000's are becomming rare. Does anyone…
More Support of HD floppies. I have been using HD floppies (Labeled 2.0 meg) for years on my 2000, 500, 2500 series. If you are having a problem, you may be having a hardware problem. I distribute 2000 boxes in an industrial high dust area, and the only problems I…
