Thanks Kermit, You wouldn't happen to know where I could find a copy of their software, would you? Or if they are still in business? Thanks again.
#SUNRIZE DIGITIZER
Message #48398
I was given a sunrize ditigizer and color splitter, but the person had neither the software or the manuals…. (the model is Perfect Vision). Does anyone have software, or know of software that would work, and where to get it???? Also, he said the packaging had stated that it could…
I sent such a note, and the response was quite amusing…. They said they are concerned for their 'sight impared' members…. The message follows: ——————- Action!

Unfortunately, I have a 2000, not a 3000. But I do have flicker fixer.. Gary Vassalotti Using AP 1.80
Thanks for the reply Jim, I'll have to see what the repair shop has to say now. I know the 1950 was old, but compare to the 1084 I had to recconnect, boy is the 1950 great! Gary Vassalotti Using AP 1.80
#Monitor- 1950
Message #195828
I need some help with my monitor. I turned on my system today, and the monitor just gives off this whinning sound, and says black. I put my hand up to the screen, and the normal static electricity reaction wasn't there. It was if the monitor wasn't even on…. It…

Message #46335
I REALLY need some help!! I have left messages before and have had not response, but I am hoping someone out there has a similiar setup. I have a VXL-30, with the ram 32 board. I also have a GVP series II controller with 8 meg ram. I can not…
ProCalc 2
Message #189372
Is anyone here using ProCalc by goldisk?? I am unable to get the vlookup function to work properly. Basicaly, it doesn't look anything up in the range, it just returns the first value of the range. I do have the range sorted. I was tryin something like this: =vlookup(3,database,A124) cell…
Bridgeboard A:
Message #45945
I have a strange problem with my bridgeboard. It always searches the A: drive. Even if it is in a current directory and loads a program, it then searches the A: drive first?? I have added path commands and put c:\ and \ first, but nothing changes. What am I…
Don, thanks for the advice, I'll give those changes a try. I sure hope they work! I played around with just about every setting I could think of trying to get it to work on the A2000. I do have two sets of cables, too. Gary
Modem & MFC III
Message #186216
I need help with a Practical Perpherals 144t modem and the multiface II card. The modem will connect throught the card, but after the connect keword is passed, nothing else happens. for example, when connecting to Cserve, it connects and then the Host prompt never appears. I have tried this…
Are you willing to sell parts? Specificaly, I may be interested in one of your hard drives if the price was right. Gary On AutoPilot from Matthews, NC.
Help with Mosaic
Message #185578
I am not familiar with ncftp, I just use the Startnet command to start AmiTCP. It is the demo, version 4. After starting it, a box comes up with information about how to order and so on, and there is a ghosted OK button. I wait until the ghosting goes…
VXL-30
Message #185473
I need some help with the VXL-30 accelrator by Microbotics (anyone know what happened to them or to Paravision, who bought them and what the number is?). It seems that my accelrator has not been using the 32 bit ram that I have attacehed to it! I have the ram…
I have that same problem using a Multi-face card. (my serial port is dead). Where can you get the patch for the GVP Scsi controller?? I could sorely use it! Gary On AutoPilot from Matthews, NC.
#Monitors
Message #185351
Does anyone know what the dot pitch is for the commodore 1950 monitor? How about the 1084? I have one of each and was curious. Gary On AutoPilot from Matthews, NC.
That is essentily Oxxi's old tax break product, for what I understand. It is a decent program,(didn't calculate the alternate capital gains tax correctly though). I had the oxxi version, and have yet to be contacted about the update, I did call them and tell them I was interested too!…
I don't have my old annual reports, but werent Gould and Ali both members of the board of directors, and therefore, under that defininition, fiduciarires? Gary
Thanks Daniel, that changed did the trick!
#Hard dive probs
Message #45000
HELP! I have a SCSI 1.3 gig hard drive that has some bad blocks. The GVP fastpreep software, (to remap the bad blocks) tells me thatt the drive has no spare blocks ?? Is there a program that will put all of the bad blocks/sectors into a file that will…
It would be nice to have SOME idea of a release date Jim… People seem to be somewhat anxious… I would love to order one, if I at least knew about when it was coming.
PMFJI but the Paravision phone number is 214-644-0043. What ist the SX-1 one by the way?
You probably already have an answer to how to contact the Goldnegate people, but just in case, I talked to them yesterday. The phone number is: (718) 967-1509. They want about $800 for the 25mhz 486 with 2.5meg ram, and $1049 for the faster version (50mhz, I think?)
PMFJI, but the program that I would like to get running again from my C64 is Fontmaster. That program turned a cheap, low grade printer into a high quality resume printer. If only it didn't have that stupid copy protrection scheme I would have been able to run it with…
I wonder if an old 2088 board would also allow it to use pc cards?
#Modems
Message #158394
I am looking for a new modem, and could use some advice. I currently have a Supra 2400, but am looking for at least 14.4 with fax. I have read some posts about modems that would do voice mail, and would prefer to have such a model, but do not…
I've heard that car ad. Always thought it was kind of interesting myself. Wonder how many unsuspecting people are pulled in by it.
#Sony Playstation
Message #146590
Here is something interesting concerning sony. It is in the AP news, under the business news section. Sony has introduced a new computer division, and will sell a game console (?) called the playstation. The plays station includes multiple processors for sound and graphics (unique idea, hey?), dedicated 32 bit…
You are correct Jerry, it was Burt Lance. I worked for the bank they owned illegaly (First American), well, allegedly owned… A lot of good people lost their jobs over that and the responsible people seemed to just get away…. Oh well, now if only C= would have survived or…
What do you want for the board??
Did I understand you correctly that you accelerated your 8088 BB?? What is a SOTA, and how much acceleratoin does it provide? Thanks, Gary
Yes, I agree that the WSJ did not invent anything and was accurate in their reporting. I was not trying to imply otherwise. Gary
I have noticed with the Journal, that with certain stocks, the only NEWS that is reported is the bad news, and the good things that happen are ignored. If you followed chrysler when it almost whent belly up and hit $3 share, they placed large headlines with the negative news,…
#Terminal Progs
Message #135555
I log onto Cserv with just a plain terminal program, what is the best Cserv comm program for use the Amiga. I think it used to be called Whap, but now I see autopilot everywhere. Is Autopilot better? Thanks, Gary
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. I have been trying to get that BB up for some time, I will give your advice a try and let you know if I succeed. Thanks again. Gary.
#A20286 BB
Message #133884
HELP! I have a 2286 bridge board that I can not get to run. I bought it used ,and the guy said it worked when they had it, but he did not send me the battery for it (I was told that it should still boot, by an independent person)…
Thanks for the information. I guess that unless I a m going to add the ram when buying the board, it would be better to just get the simpler Supra board that doesn't have ram.
#Accelarators
Message #116528
I am considereing adding an accelerator to my A2000 and have a question concerning the differences between the Supra Turbo accelrator and another verstion that has a 68020 (or 30). I dont have the magazine ad with me, so the details may be off a bit, but basicaly, the other…
I do believe that you ansered my question. If I remember correctly I only received 3.5 inch amiga diskettes when I purchased the upgrade. I think I may have been missing the PC side of the janus disketts. Thanks, Gary
#Amouse Version
Message #110922
I have an A2088 BB running Janus 2.1 My question is that I cannot get the amouse, dosserve, mouserserv or pcdisk to work. I realize that some of those programs are the old version, but I was desperate. I am begginning to think that I may not have received the…
The threads seem to hint that it would run Amigados or Workbench, did I understand them correctly?? Thanks, Gary.
I did use the install option on that came with the disk. But I will check again. The dosserve, mouseserv programs are there thoug. Gary
#New Amiga from SGI!
Message #109080
I am sorry, I am joining this thread late, but could someone please tell me what thie Indy machine is?? i haven't heard of it. Thnks, Gary.
Amiga Game Console FACTS
Message #109075
I agree that most people do not need or can afford a "maxed out" new pc/amiga from the orginall manufacturer. Lord knows, if that was the only way they came I could have never afforded my A2000. I buy parts for it as needed, new or used, as I find…
#Dosserv Prob
Message #109068
I have the A2088 bridgeboard running with Amigados 2.0 I also have the new Janus files, 2.1. The documentation states that it is no longer necessary to run PCdisk, that the new dosserv will load automatically and work with awrite and aread. This is not happening for me, neither is…
I havent thought of checking with a Status command to see if it (the dosserv) program is actually running. I will try that I will also try the startup-sequence 'straw' if it is running. Thanks for your help Greg, Gary.
Thank you. Perhaps Greg did mean the preference problem w/2.04 I did get the upgrade to the janus software to get aroung that I will try rebooting the bridge board after booting the amiga. Thanks, gary
Greg, I am a little confused. In your orginal reply to my question on how to get Aread/Awrite to work, your fist sentence said: "It depends on what dos you are using, if you are using Amiga dos 2.o or hihger you may have problem." Now you are saying you…
I only have 2.0, no accelerator (I'd like to have one though). So, what is the problem with 2.0 and the Janus services?? I could really use acce. Gary
Ok, if you use Aread & Awrite all the time, perhaps you could help me with a problem that I am having. I am tring to move a WP file form the IBM side to the Ami side (I have WP for Ami, and IBM at work) but every time…
