>>Does anybody know where to get a HTML reader? I know Mosaic reads HTML, >>but it can't read it off line. Of course it can read offline, you just have to run your AmiTCP startnet script without the line: AmiTCP:bin/online ppp0 to get the net 'up'. or issue an offline…
Michael, .
GVP
Message #195127
paul, If you use the internal 50 pin header and ignore temptations to go the 25 pin external port easy route you'll have a higher chance of success hooking up those external devices. I've got 2 internal and 4 external devices on a single ribbon cable snaking from the Series…
AmiTCP problems
Message #195126
James, You need to get ppp.device driver online using the command. AmiTCP:bin/online ppp0 /\ Does the first line of your startnet script look like that? || If you don't have ppp.device installed in your devs:networks directory, you need to d'l and install it and its commands in AmiTCP:bin/ and add…
Michael, (BTW Erik, My hands aren't trembling as I compose this reply.) I've been using a GVP A3001 accelerator & Series II controller and have six devices connected to it and it's working fine. However, I use a ribbon cable connected to the internal 50 pin header on the board…
Gracia, "If you quit Handson, where do you type "startnet"? I thought quiting Handson wold throw you off CI$." Well, I set my modem to stay on after quitting handson using the AT command I change it in the init string in setup. Or I enter it interactively while on…
Paul, From what I've seen so far (and it ain't much) I doubt I'll be doing much surfing of the web. Besides, I've got 2MB of chip and I don't think I'll need it all, but then again, who knows until one tries, eh? Chris
Paul, So far I haven't bothered using the dialscript. I use the AP and handson to get access to CIS, then quit hands on type startnet and wait for the connection to be completed, then launch Amosaic. It works every time. Be sure your init string includes &D0 before you…
WAIT "OK" SEND "AT&D2"
Zeddock, "Will these new Zips work on Amy?" Don't see why not, they are SCSI. I'm considering making a purchase of one, but not just yet. I do have to get the parallel port model for a peecee office. Christopher
#Iomega ZIP 3.5" Drive
Message #192336
Erik, Those new Iomega ZIP drives look interesting for backups and would be less of a headache than tapes, you could probably find a file lots faster. They're advertised as 100MB 3.5" disk drive, available in SCSI or parallel port flavours. Price $199.99 Extra disks aren't very much either, around…
#Gravity Guidance Inc?
Message #190100
Hi All! I know this isn't the health forum but Amiga Forum members are always more informed. I'm looking for a supplier of an exercise device called the Gravity Guidance System. You've probably heard of them as gravity boots. Well there is a chair that works in conjunction with the…
Hank, It sounds like you damaged one or both of your 8520s. You can swap them around and see if your problem moves from the floppies but another problem shows up. If you can get a new pair I'd just replace both of them. Christopher
"SCSI is much worse on IBM machines, esp. DOS/Windoze…, I went to install SCSI support and found I was missing a needed file. I finally got the file I needed and when I got my CD-ROM running I found the missing file…on the cd that came with the SCSI board?…
#Ami-Back v2.0e > 2.0i?
Message #102081
John, Thank you for uploading the Ami-Back v2.0e to 2.01 patch. I dloaded it and the patch worked fine. Only problem I have is when I run the program I am informed that This copy of Ami-Back has not been properly personalized. Please use the install program to install Ami-Back.…
David, Look in Lib 13 Libraries of AmigaTech for filename ixemul.LZH, size:79852. Christopher
"BTW, where did you find these 50 pin ribbon cable to DB-52 adaptors?!?" . What the hay-L is a DB-52 adaptor? 🙂 Christopher
Jerry, "On the Macintoshes we use Disktop…" I use Disktop on macs and I don't like nearly as much as Directory Opus, but I prefer AmigUtil for most of my dir chores which I downloaded from this forum years ago. Only time I ever crashed DOpus is when using the…
Dale, . I'll go. Put me on the party list. I'm in the Pfilthadelphia area's backyard. No more than a 30-45 minute drive depending on location of the conference facility's locale. Christopher
#CDROM DMusic > Hard Disk
Message #183452
Wayne, Have you seen or used the Apple 300e CDROM or do you know what mechanism is inside the enclosure? I understand that you can copy direct to hard disk any digitally recorded music/sound CDROM. I'd like to find one like it but maybe more than 2x speed. Thanks, Christopher
Nanc, So glad you got it working. It is kinda neat idea, huh? 🙂 No hunting today (jobwise 😉 ) I spent the entire day, 8AM -6PM clearing away an enormous thicket of overgrown thorn vines. I reclaimed a portion of my creekside land. I can now walk along this…
Every thing the same eh? Well, what about the INITialization string? Is it also the same? Maybe there is something missing in the setup. You should also mention what mfgr, model modem your using. It prolly will help. 🙂 Typing AT&V will produce a list of all the modem settings.…
Nicholas, Don't believe it about the parallel port signal levels being weak. I used to push the signals through a 25' parallel cable to a Varityper 2400 dpi imagesetter. In all the years I've used Amigas and have been in this forum I've never heard any complain that the parallel…
Paul, FYI EP = Parity Checking. Off = disabled ON= Enabled WS = Wait/Spin (Drive motor power is applied when system power is applied to the computer.) SS = Self Seek Test (factory use only) should be OFF Christopher
Rick, If the drive light is flashing constantly the one thing I'll do first is to use the INFO command in a Shell to see if the filesystem is trying to validate the drive. If that is the case with your drive, don't turn it off! Leave it alone, walk…
"Is there any way to use 1MBx1's in a A2091?" Daniel, I reprinted the exact information provided in the Amiga 2000HD owner's manual. I have no idea if you can use 1MB x 1 chips. If your asking me I'd have to say NO, you have to use 256K x…
Daniel, I have just received a 2091 controller and below is the info on the ram portion of it excerpted from the manual. (No, I want to keep the manual) 🙂 ____________________________ Bank 3 U26 U27 U28 U29 | 2 MEG Bank 2 U22 U23 U24 U25 | 2 MEG…
Nanc, Found your reply to me RE: Ssale.LHA while browsing the messages. Your most welcome. Instead of just directing your POST to my name you should include my PPN 73657,3335. Doing that guarantees I get notified upon entering the forum. Without that if I hadn't been reading all the messages…
tnx, Norm! Christopher
Jerry, Why are you using InitPrinter? When I try that with my HP550c it just re-initializes the printer and spits out a piece of paper. I tried Graphic dump with a driver called HP_550C and it did a graphic dump of the workbench in a fair color representation of it.…
Acckk! Brian, I guess this is the year for lost files. I too have lost the address and phone number for Expert Services! Acckk!! Phffftt! Sputter! Someone please upload those numbers. PUhlease! Christopher
RAL, You need to download LHA138.RUN. It is a self-extracting archiver. Download to your system hard disk's root directory, open shell window, type following lines followed by return. Shell > CD RAM: Shell >SYS:LHA138.run ; substitute full path if in a sub-directory of ; SYS: like Sys:dloads/archiver/LHA138.RUN Copy file LHA…
("Gee,it's ONLY shareware…" Jim, I believe you made an error about AutoPilot, it is not shareware. It is a commercial product only available via this online service. The demo is just that, a demonstration version of the program. You can't really do very much with the program other than access…
"Answer to today's philosophy question……. It is never, ever, enough." And when it IS it doesn't last very long. 🙂 Christopher
Brian, I am using WB3.1 with an GVP '030 board, 4MB 32bit, 4mb 16 bit, 2MB chip in an A2000. Works fine! It is a full update. You don't need any disks from 2.1. A new Extras disk is one of the six disk set. Christopher
Hal, Multiview comes with and won't work without upgrading to WB 3.1 ROM. Christopher
Dana, "Everything goes fine until I get to the part about "template.rexx". I don't have that file." That's because it isn't called "template.rexx". It is called OpenTemplate.rexx. 🙂 I tried it out and there are quite a few Avery templates in the list. You don't have to select execute ARexx…
Paul, No the recoverable ram-disk has nothing to do with my serial problem. It is the GVP SeriesII card that has a problem with 14.4bps. I keep losing the connection or the computer just freezes up after the call drops. Most of the time with AP, but that is all…
WB won't load, cont.
Message #182599
Steve, There is a file in the libraries here called ANNOTE.LHA. Annotate is a text editor. It will load a binary file, no problem. I just had it load itself. Works great and is a nice editor. Look in AmigaUser Lib 13, Text Utilities. ANNOTE.LHA SIZE: 72922 KEYWORDS: ANNOTATE TEXT…
#Help Serial I/O Overflow
Message #182594
Ed, Thanks for reminding me about SD0:; It has been in my mountlist for some years now, I just stopped using the recoverable ram disk. I used Perry K's ASDG ram disk when he first started shipping it, then I removed it after I got a nice large hard drive.…
Post V1.86 problem
Message #182593
Thomas, There is a toggle to display to screen, that should be off. All you want selected is printer. You could have screen, printer, IFF file turned on if you want but once the page exceeds a certain size you'll see the requester "Can't create page buffer", or something like…
james, There is an extender adapter you can purchase that lets the Microway Flickerfixer reside in another slot. You have to snake a ribbon cable over from the video slot. I think (not too sure) that one of the other flicker fixers can reside in one of the other expansion…
james, Just to stop the flicker all you'll need to use is Flickerfixer or a FlickerFree Video II or the Commodore flicker fixer. All three are a card that fit into the video slot on the A2000. Your monitor sounds like it will work just fine. Christopher
Trent, Thanks but what OS is she running? I was following the thread and knew of the memory problem, so I'm guessing OS 2.x? The OS question concerned me since I was going to mention what ed-startup did but it might not have been in some of the older OS…
Joan, . The startup-sequence is an ASCII text file. It can be loaded into any text editor or wordprocessor that can import ASCII format, which they all should be capable of doing. . You can also read it in a shell by using the TYPE command. Shell 1> type s:startup-sequence…
Peter, Have you tried copying "GTDISPLAY.LIBRARY" to LIBS:? If not give that a try, observing the exact case of the spelling in case the library is case-sensitive. Christopher
Trent, Yup, it is indeed a GVP Series II controller. I have a KRONOS in the box too, though just the scanner and a printer connected to it. Christopher
John, You talking Epson Color Stylus? I've been looking around for a friend for one and it seems everyone is out of stock right now. One person I know purchased one before Christmas and there was a pile of them in the Computer City store at the time. I need…
Michael, Hmmm, I've been experiencing a lot of dropped calls with my modem lately, trouble connecting and long lulls where the modem ready light goes out for a several seconds. I'm not happy with it all and have been looking around at other mfgrs' products. The modem is a LineLink…
#Chord keyboard
Message #181692
"what I really want is something with a chord keyboard…" Dale, What is a CHORD keyboard? Do you need to have perfect pitch to use it? What if your voice is froggy that day you need to transcribe those long blocks of text? Do you get jumbled copy? Suppose you…
