PPage Upgrade Gripe
Message #15168
I know the mail service can be s-l-o-w, but I'm not ready yet to give them the blame for this one. If I don't get the upgrade by next week, I'll just tell the credit card company that I have been charged for something I haven't received and I'll let…
#PPage Upgrade Gripe
Message #15024
I beginning to get a little upset with the PPage upgrade. I called in my order in early to mid-December and have yet to receive it. I understand that there were some problems with the early version, so I didn't really mind waiting. However, today I got my credit card…
Andrew – I'm in the same situation as Betty: ordered the upgrade in December and no sight of it yet. Les Clark
I have actually gotten connected a couple of times now after I downloaded a mac DA that allows me to set the caching options on the 68030. I can't prove that the DA is what did the trick, but I tried about 40 times without any luck before I got…
I also have it telling me that a program quit unexpectedly… Just wondering, do you have an accelerator board? I have the GVP '030 and I wonder if that is part of my problems. I going to try disabling this weekend and see if I still have the same kinds…
I've seen the debugger window pop open, but I'm pretty sure that I had that happen occasionally with the previous version of AMAX. I never really thought of reporting it as a problem, since all I have to go is enter a 'g' to resume the program. I am having…
AMAX II & 6.0.5
Message #1280
I finally got AMAX II today. I tried it with 6.0.5 of the mac software and it seems to work fine. As a side note, Prodigy (the older version, I still haven't received the newest set of software.) also works without having to go in and set the hardware flags…
Mike & John & Steve Thanks for the replies! When I finally get AMAX II, I post a message to let everyone know if works with 6.0.5. Les Clark
John Tried to run 6.0.5 for a couple of reasons. One is that a piece of software that I would like to use requires 6.0.5. The other is that 6.0.5 is the only "official" version of the mac software that I have been able to get. (I prefer to work…
AMAX & 6.0.5 Problem?
Message #422
I'm beginning to believe that AMAX has a problem with level 6.0.5 of the mac software. I've tried a couple of different disks and they all fail the same way. (Half way thru the boot, the screen starts flashing and the computer locks) Has anyone else had this happen? If…
I'm pretty sure that I saw a 500 in the Sears at Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, IL. If I remember correctly, it was sort of hidden in the shadows of the PS/1 displays. BTW, the catalog operation is a completely separate company from the retail company. Don't ask me why,…
Scott, Thanks, I was primary concerned that whatever driver I used had to go thru AMAX. It seems that AMAX doesn't get in the way. Thanks for the info… Les Clark
Dan The driver is djtdrv.sit in lib 11 of the MACPRO forum. I have AMAX setup to use the parallel port for the printer with no emulation. I still haven't had any more time to play with it. (Gee, work sure does get in the way of the important things…
Steve, As I told Dan, I've pulled one down and I'm playing with it. I'll let you know how it turns out. Les Clark
Dan, I downloaded one yesterday and it seems to work. The only problem I've seen so far is that the printout isn't lining up exactly right on the page. There may be some parms to fix that, but I haven't had a chance to play with it much. (It comes…
Rocky, Thanks! I'll go poking around in the MAC forums and see if I can find it. Les Clark
Steve, I already have a DeskJet and I'm very happy with it. I was just looking for a way to use it with AMAX. I believe that there has to be some way to make this all work together. (If not, then this is what a friend would call a…
AMAX & DeskJet
Message #114600
Just curious if anyone has used a DeskJet as a printer from AMAX. If so, what hardware and/or software did you use to make it work? Thanks. Les Clark
Don, Thanks. I'll start seeing if I can find someone here in the Amiga-wasteland of Chicago who carries it. Les Clark
Don, Have you used Gimpel Lint? I would be interested in any comments you have on it. Thanks Les Clark
#lint for Amiga?
Message #110045
Does anyone know of a good "lint" program for the Amiga? The way I code C, I need all the help I can get. Thanks Les Clark
5) Again, I'm not sure how fast the printer would print if you used down- loaded fonts. It is not fast when you print in graphics mode, like I do, but it is certainly no slower than a dot matrix printer. I afraid that for speedy graphics, you would have…
John I currently have a DeskJet (not a plus) and I'm very pleased with it. I use it for stuff at home and an occasional presentation for work. Now, I'll try to answer your questions. 1) Yes, the print quality is close to laser. I think laser output is still…
Aaron: Nope, I work for Sears Technology Services over on Martingale. Good luck on finding a dealer. Les
Ardie Installing the Fatter Agnus involves moving a jumper and cutting a trace. But the real problem is pulling out the old one. It requires a special tool (not just a chip puller) to remove. I tried to do it myself and finally ended up getting a dealer to install…
Aaron No problem about calling me Les. I go by either name, depending on the situation; "Les" seems to cause fewer gender confusions, especially here in Chicago. (Back in Texas, the name "Leslie" seemed to be used equally as a male or female name. Here in Chicagoland, it seems to…
Aaron In case you live in Chicago instead of one of the suburbs, you might want to try MicroEd. They are located at 444 N. Orleans in suite 250. I just found them myself, so I don't want to sound like I'm recommending them, but they do seem to know…
Raman Sorry, but I don't know much about the IVS. Maybe somebody else reading your message will. Leslie

AMAX & 68030 ?s
Message #91700
I don't know if the 2090A is supported yet or not. I seem to remember hearing that some HDs will work with AMAX but I don't know which ones. (I guess if I got really desperate to know I could call ReadySoft…) I already have the BridgeBoard and am in…
I be happy to let you know how it turns out. They aren't suppose to ship it until 1/2/90, so I guess it somewhere around the middle of the month before I should get it because of distance, customs, and me finding time to get it from UPS. If you…
#Need a Canadian Dealer
Message #81248
Thanks for the lead on the dealer. I talked to the guys at ComputerMan!! and, although they don't normally ship to the U.S., they are going to try to get a copy of the Janus enhancement package out to me. They seemed to be a super organization. I wish I…
