Niels, I had problems with AmiTCP v4.2 last spring.It concerned the bsdsocket.library not being found. Upon contacting NSDI tech support I was told that the bsdsocket.library is create dynamically by the AmiTCP binary when the program is started by the 'startnet' script. The startnet script uses the Arexx 'WAITFORPORT' command…
Great news Frank, I'm going to try to get one or all of those days of to attend. Thanks for the info. Pete, / / Flying the A3000 on AutoPilot 1.80 \/\/ from Durham,Ontario.
Don, I had the same problem. The answer is to make sure that your shell-startup script has a Path command pointing to all of your command pathways so that the shell can find the commands that are being asked for. ie. My shell-startup script is as follows: Path >NIL: RAM:…
AmiTCP-PDPro
Message #195640
All, I am having a problem with the running of AmiTCP4.2, the registered version, and PDPro. It seems that the two are not compatible in some way; or I may have missed a Client to configure in PDPro. I am able to run AmiTCP4.2 when PDPro has not been started.…
Jeff, I have an early model A3000-25 as well and when I upgraded to OS3.1 I had to install the ROMs on the ROM Tower and re-install the tower from whence it came. When you remove the tower you will notice that the two rom sockets are labelled U180 and…

#A3000 ROM Switcher
Message #188131
Steve, Thank you for the info. I still have my 2.x KickStart file in my Devs: dir. Can this file be used or do I need the 2.04 ROM's and the GrabKick program? I was trying to avoid having to buy the 2.04 ROM's. I tried the command "SetCPU kickfile…
#A3000 ROM Switcher
Message #186561
All, I would like to know if anyone has heard of a ROM Switcher board for the A3000 that could switch ROMs at startup similar to the MultiStart II. I have OS3.1 installed and would like to switch back to OS2.04 for some games that are not compatible with OS3.1.…
Paul, Back in January I registered Virus Checker with John and had no problems. He replied very quickly, considering where he lives. It took about 18 days all told to get a reply. He has a unique way to develop your key file so don't expect a disk, just a…
Ron, Thanks for the info; I'll be taking the cover off the A500 shortly and I shall check things out and decide how to proceed. Pete / / Flying the A3000 on AutoPilot 1.77 \/\/ from Durham,Ontario.
Ronald, I understand that WB has reserved colors 0-3 and 12-15 of a possible 16 colors and that colors 4-11 are availiable extra colors for the picture. If the screenmode is set to 8 colors then all 8 are reserved for WB use. It seems to me that the only…
#Datatypes-WBPattern
Message #168090
To All, Is anyone else having problems with WBPattern in OS3.1? My problem is that WBPattern won't display workbench backdrop pictures very well. Under OS2.1, NickPrefs did an excellent job of displaying these pictures. On my system ViewTek shows the pictures cearly and sharply. I have the ILBM Datatype in…
Datatypes
Message #166317
I'm looking for higher quality datatypes for OS3.1. It has been suggested that the decrease in image quality from NickPrefs-OS2.1 to WBPattern-OS3.1, for displaying Workbench backdrops is due to the datatypes. Any help would be appreciated. / / Flying The A3000 on AutoPilot 1.74 \/\/ from Durham,Ontario.
Dave, I to have upgraded a plain A3000-25 recently to OS3.1. I have 2meg.chip and 4meg.fast static column ram. First of all, were the 1×4 zip chips you installed all static column ram or all page mode or a mix of both? If page mode is mixed with static mode…
Thanks Dick,Ed for the info but I think that until or if someone comes out with a util with in between SCSI settings that I will leave my time-out set to 2 secs. Async vs. Sync ? I'll leave that alone to for now. / / Flying The A3000 on…
Ernie, There is "MAGSEL.LHA" in AmigaUser that will do the job for you, but you need MUI to make it work. I use it on my A3000 with OS3.1 with no problems. It works with WBPattern in OS3.1. There is also "BACKDROPS20.LHA" which works nicely with NickPrefs in OS2.x and…
#SCSI Time-out
Message #165234
I'm looking for information about the setting of the SCSI time-out on an A3000 with OS3.1 installed and functioning. I needed to set,using BattMem, the long SCSI time-out to 2 secs in-order for OS3.1 to boot my computer. However, the time-out seems to be more like 20 secs before the…
Dan, Thanks for the info. It will be helpful. I had used, under 2.1, the MagicWB and the colors 0 thru 7 were the MWB colors and 8 thru 15 were used mainly for the rest of the picture. The problem with 3.1 is that Palette now uses 0 thru…
