I forgot to mention that the official HP name for this machine is "paper feed repair kit". Later. DickOUX
Pete, >If I come across anything for the Amiga, I'll let you know. Great! Thanks. When folks were initially discussing the need for this buffing machine on-line, it was assumed that some enterprising Amigan progammer would find a way to duplicate the DOS prog – but I have not seen…
Pete, From whence do you hail? If you live in Canada, then (if you need the kit) you should have gotten it. I could find nothing regarding any other country. Not a clue. HP says they sent out kits to owners of: HP Deskjet Deskwriter 520 Deskjet 550C (mine) 560C…
#HP Deskjet Printers
Message #216647
Anybody had occasion to use the roller buffing machine that HP sent out to owners of its jet printers? Is there an Amiga program which will allow the use of the buffer? Thanks for any response. DickOUX
MrGF>Rocket City! Umm. Gas station, eh? Dickoux
Leslie, LB>MiGraph scanner connect to the AMiga? Serial port? No. Mine connects to the parallel port. I ended up getting a Multiface Card III so as to not have to switch printer with scanner and back again. Later. Dickoux
DA>a UK Amiga magazine which, strangely enough, was just purchased by IDG Hmmmm. The plot thickens, eh? Dickoux
HS> how I wish the Americans would learn… first to write and secondly how HS> to write terse and concise English. Amen! 48 Minutes had a good segment last evening on college and university professors using teaching assistants. The professors rarely show up in the classroom because (so they say)…
HS> program is snarling back at me… but I will persist. Good for you! My resolve has wavered – but if Ben causes more tapes to become available – then to the tree tops, my matees… Look for a CMail.
DG> I can't believe you discontinued those tapes. I have them & they are DG> great. Sure they have some basic stuff but if you can sit thru the__ DG> stuff you already know there are lots of unknown features which are__ DG> introduced. Also the tapes got me exploring…
PI> I switched fonts to no avail. Must be something else, Paul. I switched fonts & that did the trick. Guess I use Snap maybe more than most. Probably the most used function is the History facility. Dickoux
That is it! Thanks, Steve.
#Power Snap
Message #45301
ALLofAsudden, Power Snap quit working for me. [ A3K/25/OS3.1 ] I've tried eliminating other stuff that that was not in the startup before it quit, but no good. It seems to record OK, but on the playback (LAmiga, RMB), I get back a series of ? marks with an occasional…
#Disk repair
Message #180936
Dale, I want to get Disksalv 3.0. Is it likely to become available from any of the mailorder places? Thanks. Dickoux
Do you ever see any ThunderEggs anymore? Don't know the technical name for them, but their used to be quite a few laying around.
Christopher, Please post a number (800?) for MAC Wharehouse. Thanks. Dickoux
Trent, Thanks for the expertise. Your reply is a 'keeper'. Dickoux
Murray, Thanks for the great reply. Good to know that help of this calibre is right here in my computer room! Dickoux
Gary, GVM> When any of the disk units are active, they will come on.. Thanks for the info. Guess I should have mentioned that the DF2: LED only comes on when that particular drive is active and DF2: being active does not cause the other drive LEDs to come on.…
Trent, TH> Make sure that the SCSI ID is set to an unique number different from TH> any other SCSI device you have in the chain (or the drive will just TH> not work! ). I've a 52 MB Quantum that I'm not using – can't figure how to set…
#Drive LEDs
Message #44930
I've an A3000/25 to which I recently added a C= 2010 internal floppy drive. The jumper on the mother board was changed to accommodate the drive as DF1:. There is also an external drive which has always been DF2:. Everything works well, except that when either DF0: or DF1: is…
henry, ht> The deposit is non-refundable, according to CEI, and so they both have ht> made valid proposals. Yeah. Goes to feed the bottomless maws of the vampires. Thanks for all the news you've provided, henry.
Mark, MS> The two Amigas also run a peer-to-peer network software package MS>(Envoy). At home I have 2 Amigas networked with Enlan-DFS 2.0 which is MS> a very nice peer-to-peer system based on Decnet protocol. Maybe you can set me straight, please. I have 2 A3000s which I wish to…
New personal Finance prg
Message #174137
Who is it that is soon to publish a 'Qicken-Like' program? What is the name of that program to be? Any ball-park on when it is to hit the street?
Pete, PD>However, the time-out seems to be more like 20 secs before the boot PD>begins after a cold startup. Yes, I have (or had) the same situation (A3K w/ 80MB Quantum and ADOS 3.1). For bootup, the long delay is ok, but I got tired of the wait when using…
Brian (and anyone else who will comment), I have installed 3.1 in my nearly vanilla A3000/25 and it "seems" to be ok, so far, tho I do have some 'cleaning up' to do. An item of interest which probably should be dealt with – with this SCSI setup, the address…
DM>I switched back to ASYNC and the system would boot up great and I Dthe numbers are ok, that is if putting the lower numbered ROM in the higher numbered socket and vica versa makes sense. At least, 3.1 is running now. Now if we can figure out why other…
Derek, thanks for the reply. It strikes me that this has to be something wierd and you may have hit it with the monitor files. One thing that bothers me is that I don't see great numbers of A3000 owners hollering about this particular problem. In other words, 'Why me?'…
Matt, the differences in yours and my machine could have all to do with when they were manufactured. I bought mine in Oct '90. In my machine, just above and slightly to the right side (toward the back of the machine) of the mountings for the ROMs (as I imagine…
Matt, the drive is the one that came stock with my A3000 when I bought it. It is a Quantum ProDrive LPS 52 Megs. Have you installed 3.1? Later. Dick
NH>Maybe we can figure something out after you try this. NH>Regards, and good luck, Thanks, Norman. I'm glad your A3K boots. As you might imagine, I am somewhat gunshy at this point. Here is one msg I got: *************************** AFINKEL [andy] Dick: 1) make sure reselection is off on all…
NH>If anyone else has any comments, I think both you and I would NH>appreciate them. Amen! I just had a flash of me still standing at attention by my Ami and the snow is flying outside.
NH>It seems the name of the sockets ROM 0 or ROM 1 are wrong but the socket numbers are correct. You might want to check this. The old ROMs were in (what could be called) reverse order and that is the way the instructions said to put in the new…
MS>is it a ROM switcher? or just a socket? In the A3K, it is a small PC board (2 1/2" X 2 1/2") upon which are mounted the two ROMs. This board is then turned upside down and plugged back into the mother board. This has to be a jury…
Steve, I appreciate your concern, but I did get my set from Expert systems. I have seen their msg and all in the box agrees with their list – i.e., 3 manuals, etc.
I installed the 3.1 ROMs in my nearly vanila A3000 yesterday. The ROMs I took out of the tower were ROM 0 in U181 and ROM 1 in U180. I put in the new ROMS in the same order of numbers. Every thing was beautiful and went without a hitch.…
SA> Upload them via email rather than using ascii send. How, exactly, do you do this? Thanks for the info.
#Maxiplan4 Help
Message #156035
I've been toying with Maxiplan4 with a view toward designing a killer checkbook/budget speadsheet for my own use. Having had some time to put MP4 thru it's paces, I have to take exception with the folks who have indicated that it is badly flawed – I like MP4. It seems…
What could be an interesting sidebar. I saw a SAMSUNG ad for a variety of electronic devices ON TV!!!! Yow! Sorry
Thanks for the good stuff on using 'masks'. I've tried to round up all I can on Alpha Channel – but I still can't get the concept straight. Will you explain it to me, please? I suspect that eventually the APAssist and Amiga Guide (with APAssist winning out) method of…
WM>they(Creative Computers) were very rude Harv Laser, who lives a short distance from one of the Creative stores, reported on InterNet that he walked into the store ready to take advantage of those specials. He was told that the whole 'Specials Ad' was a mistake and should never have made…
Ben, I've a prob on which you can set me straight. I'm missing something w/ regards to MASK. I think I have figured out how to save a mask in a buffer, tho you might tip me on that. But the prob seems to come when I want to use…
BC>The latest version is 1.72, and it is very new. Thanks, Betty. Kind of strange, tho, I haven't seen that in the files. Or did I miss it?
BC>nice additions to AP What's the latest v. of AP and is there an upgrade close by? Thanks.
Quicken Clone, etc.
Message #147426
Great Explanation on getting to the IM R/T Readmefirst file. Thanks so much.
LB>I concur except for the "intelligent" part. Probably a poor choice of words on my part.. should be 'smart' as in the ability to soak up info via memorizing. Rote. No correlation with the real world. There seems to be so much of that in gov't, too. LB> When are…
There is a 'Readme' file in 1.50c which seems to be in APAssist format. How can I go about using APAssist to read it? Thanks, Ben.
LB>Well the CEO of my company has gotten a raise and a big bonus while the LB>stock keeps loosing money. Same with all the execs. The lower and LB>middle level management as well as the non-management people are the LB>ones that have to bit the bullet. Unfortunatly, it's a common…
Ben, I'm off to a good start in IM. I have the video which is tuned to 1.06 (I think that is the version) and since mine is new, it is 1.50c. In the portion of the tutorial about the palette, the video shows an area where you can test…
Ben>Ummm… out of memory? I sure like the way you guys addressed the 'Lowest common denominator' question regarding memory in the tapes. It has been my feeling for a long time that the LCD attitude among developers (except gammers) is/was a detrement overall to the Amiga community. Coding every application…
