Thanks to all for replying. Sounds like Studio is what I'm looking for, DOS has that small limitation that I can't switch from one program to another, something we find a must. I'll call the 800 number on Monday. Thanks again! Bill

After reading your message, I would really like to know if there is a comparison list for the features of the two products. Sounds like it would be easy to buy the wrong software and get a little upset. Is there such a list anywhere here? Bill
I've got a AlphaData optical mouse. Not very old and I paid $50 for it. How's $25 sound, you pick up the shipping? Bill

GVP DSS 8 sampler
Message #195412
I'm selling a DSS8+ with version 2.03 for $50. (Says $60 in my other message, but $50 will do) Works great, used it mainly for digitizing from from CDs. Getting rid of it and all the rest of my Amiga, decided to be compatible with work. Let me know if…
WANTED DSS 8
Message #195408
FOUND: 1 DSS8+ sound digitizer, clear plastic case and all. Software is version 2.03. How's $50? Bill Carey 74025,1243
Okay, sounds fair enough. Seems like there is a built in dongle though, the base libraries are Piccolo specific(?). Wouldn't do much good for anyone that doesn't have one. I did register, but in my eagerness to see 24bit I forgot to get the serial number. I'll get that when…
#EGS driver

Hi, Are there any plans to add a EGS loader/savrer to ADPro? (That was simple, wasn't it :>) Bill Carey
#Piccolo upgrades
Message #68834
Hi! Are there any plans to UL any upgrades to the Piccolo software here, or should I contact DKB directly? Also, when do you think EGS 6.0 will be ready? Got one of your early boards. Works great, heard rumors of several EGS programs coming, and they require 6.0. Bill…
Just today I got an add from Redmond cable for a 8" adapter cable to let you use a 1300 with any Amiga. It's just a 23 pin m to f cable and retails for $18. I'm going to order one myself, might not be the best encoder but it's…
Thanks for the reply. It took some playing, but the 2500 is coming up in 2.04 just fine now. Probably isn't the 'approved method', but functional.
If you don't mind clearing up one bit of my confusion, after you install the ROMs and make the disk based 2.04 kickstart you have to put the 1.3 ROMs back in? And just how do you 'abort the boot and transfer to the psuedo ROM on disk'? Please clear…
Thanks for the info. The decision is pretty easy then. Sorry to say we won't be buying a FFV (it was our first choice), we got a MegaChip first. Will there be a work around for that problem? Bill Carey – via Whap!
Thanks, that answers my questions. So CBM added a mode that their hardware doesn't really support? A facinating company… :> Bill Carey – via Whap!
Just one question.. What will the FF do with the 1280 X 400 mode? We're trying to decide what enhancer to get and this is a critical question since it is one of the new 'standard' modes. Bill Carey – via Whap!
IGES
Message #22015
This was a while ago but maybe you still remember it. I asked whether you made an IGES translator, the answer was no, but you might think about it if I sent you a file. Took longer than I thought (mainly because I forgot) but I have a file off…
Randy, We're using the same drive and had the same problem. The CBM controller has a jumper that increases the time the controller will look for a drive. Dunno about the GVP. Just doing that wasn't enough, we also set the device jumper on the drive to 5, it came…
Yep, the Micro-Search.
They do indeed look nice, picked them up a couple of weeks ago. The info enclosed says that you can special order the original 24 bit images from them too. Bill Carey – via Whap!
Sorry, but I have no idea how much clearance the FFV would need. The 5 1/4 drive bay goes right over it so you're limited in any case. (At least I think it does, one part or another of that bridge goes over it.) Thanks for the info on the…
$45 is what they gave me, depends on how much damage you do getting it out. (It's easy to trash the chip, they come out HARD)
Bad news, the MegaChip goes right over Denise. Unless DKB does a redesign or FFV is EXTREMELY short, I wouldn't look for a quick fix. How does the 2320 work, same way? (If so it sure ends my confusion about which flicker fixer to get.)
If someone can tell me where FFV fits I'll probably be able to tell you if it fits. Had the 2500 apart so often lately I don't even turn the lights on any more. :> One more note on the Grapevine Group; got the rebate check back yesterday, so they…
Hmmm…. These are the settings I'm using on a brandy snifter; Color 255,255,255 Reflect 0,0,0 Filter 230,230,230 Specular 255,255,255 Dither 255 Hardness 255 Roughness 0 Shiny 0 Index 1.75 Phong I know these work, in fact I turned down the filter to 230 so you could see the thing at…
Make sure the shiny setting is 0. Bill Carey Bill Carey – via Whap!
Andrew, I had a similar problem. Look on page 4 of the sheets that tell you all about the textures, two paragraphs above BRICKS. If the term digital bounce makes sense to you, congratulations, you're a better man than I. Anyway, go back into the texture setting requester, select edit…
I haven't been able to get the menu either. Use the escape key instead. If you hit a mouse button first out of habit, just pull the screen down, make the Imagine screen active and then hit escape. Bill
Same here, the way it comes up looks kinda primitive, my only complaint with the program so far. (Only had a few hours to use it) Started playing with the textures. Never had them before, didn't get the SV version of Turbo. Wish I had now, they're amazing. Did you…
Well, I'm using the FP version yes. But there's more to this… I called Impulse and got Mike Halverson. He gave some suggestions that I tried last night that didn't work, so I called today and asked for a new disk. One thing he mentioned though, was that it sounded…
Install?
Message #20090
? Well, the good news is that Imagine 1.0 came in the mail. The bad news is that I followed the installation instructions and it DOESN'T WORK!! The program loads, starts to show a screen and aborts. I typed my name in and all that. DAMN I WAS LOOKING FORWARD…
Yep, that did it. Reduced the objects by half, moved the whole mess closer to 0,0,0 and it worked fine. Thanks! I haven't double checked this, but it seems to have a range of +- 1024 from 0 which gives it a world 2048 * 3. The camera was well…
Out of mem?
Message #19664
(hope this works, its about my fifth try. Anyone else having trouble with Wha Whap and 2.02b?) Congratulations on Imagine, looks good and will be a great program when it's finished. And speaking of finished…. Finally got to the point where I wanted to Trace my 1 frame project. It…
Never mind, when I called they talked me into getting Imagine (it wasn't hard). My credit card is screaming at me though……. Bill
Since we did get one I can tell you that Redmond Cable made it. Whether or not they still do I don't know. I'll take your suggestion and try the support number. One question though, is it the software or harware that is incompatible with the 3000? Bill Carey 74025,1243
1000 –> 3000
Message #18916
We just got rid of a 1000 and got a 3000. This causes a problem with DigiView, it doesn't seem to work with the 3000. No big deal, we got a cable from a mail-order house and put it on the 2500. One other problem, we also have a FutureSound…
mmmmmmm…… I don't have SV, maybe that's my problem. On your say so I'll send the $30 for the upgrade though. And if it doesn't work may lightning strike you repeatedly (grin) Bill Carey
Okay, but to clarify things a bit….. Does that mean you won't be fixing SV, or just that you won't get around to it until after Imagine ships? ($120 difference means alot to me) Thanks, Bill
SV –> 2.0 ?
Message #18667
You may have answered this question before, but here it goes anyway… I don't have the money for the Imagine upgrade so I'm planning on getting the SV upgrade to Turbo Silver. Since I just got a 3000 I would like to run it with WB2.0. Is the SV version…
If you want to free up your serial port, drop by a Radio Shak and pick up a 12 volt adapter, works fine. ($10.95, maybe there are cheaper ones out there.)
#Silver info
Message #14909
Hi, got TS for xmas and have a couple of questions. I've heard of a SV version. The order form isn't clear on how much it costs and tells me nothing about why I would want it. I remember reading something about it having more textures, anything else? Also, will…
#Memory problems
Message #14908
Hi, we've got a problem. (Of course!) Recently we picked up a Citizen GSX-140 printer with the color option specificly for Pro-Write. Works like a charm with your program except for one thing. It's running on a 2.5 meg A1000, 68010 using the EpsonQ driver. When we print in 360X180…
There is one other way (I think, it is supposed to work with VS3D, I've only used it with S3D objects.). There is a program on one of these boards called XObj that will convert all but the largest objects to Silver. Let me know if you can't find it…

Message #26648
Hi Roger, I tried the 1.32 that someone suggested, no go. This machine is a 1000 with 2.5 megs, I don't think that's it either. It prints fine until we rotate graphics 90 degrees, then they print about four times taller than they should. This is all in 360 X…

Dunno about the hard disk, but my version (3.7) takes my expensive 880k disk and turns it into a VERY expensive 360k disk. Heard that someone was using the Kaypro 2000 disks with success. (720K) Bill * Reply: 13287

Message #13032
Sounds great, but personally I have a little less than 8 megs, more like 1/2 meg. Would like to see it though, if you find someone, will you put it out on a PD disk through Amicus? Would definitely be worth 9.95 to me. Bill * Reply: 13232
