PAR & midi sequencer
Message #93376
I produce animation with lightwave and a PAR board on my amiga? I need to sync an Ensoniq midi sequencer to the PAR so that they can be recorded to tape at the same time. Is there an easy(inexpensive) way to do this or do I have to go the…
A4000cpu in a A3000
Message #92471
I have seen very low prices forused A4000 cpu boards. Does anybody know if these can be installed in an A3000. Will it work right away or will I get into problems with jumper settings, power, heat and anything else. Is this a good idea or am I better off…
Jim, I started with the chips. I replaced the ECS Denice with a regular old denise from my A500 and it works. And the ECSDenise works in the A500. I don't know if the chip is faulty or only partially. I will oreder a new denise anyway to try it…
Thanks Tim, I'll start with those three this mornong. Edward
Thanks I'll look into that. I didn't want to dig out the old osciloscope yet, but I guess I"ll have to now.
#T2000 6.3rev0 MB
Message #91626
Hi, I need some help trying to install a Toaster2000 into an Amiga 2000 (rev 6.3 motherboard). I'm selling my toaster to a friend but the toaster does not work in his 6.3rev A2000. I tried 2 different toasters in his machine, no luck. I moved all my peripherals onto…
Thanks for your answer I guess I must have looked further through the menus.
#SCALA on VGA monitor
Message #43566
CAn anyone tell me if I can use SCALA MM300 with a VGA only monitor on my A1200? It can playback my presentations in DBLNTSC but Iwhen I go to the edit screen it goes haywire. I can only see it with a plugged TV screen from the composite out…
I want to know what type of harddisks it is going to use SCSI or IDE. A list of names and models would be nice. Also the backup posibilities for DAT or 8mm drives. Do I need a software package like Quarterback or does it offer something built in?
Robert, If you find one please let me know. I'm also looking and I bought a package that didn't have that one either. I live outside the US and soccer is the biggest sport here. Edward
Thanks I will do that.
Thanks for you answer. I think I will buy the 5700. I have 2 copies of Scala does this mean I have to buy two EX packages.
#List of EX's
Message #39167
Hi John, I am using Scala MM200. I would like to use a video recorder with my presentations. Currently I own a BCD2000 with a JVC BRS811 and I also use the video director with IR control. I have not decided on what vcr to buy for SCALA control yet.…
No i did not get both files but i downloaded the IBM version too form the IBM forum. I did not get your message last time but i will give you a cal next week. Carnival was great again this year. The only problem is that I still didn't catch…
I looked to but could not find it. What keywords did you use
#twinxpres IBM version
Message #131799
Can anybody tell me where to find the IBM version of TWIN EXPRESS. I downloaded the amiga version but I cannot find the IBM version anywhere around here.
That's just it I don't want to wait for all that conversion process because I think that it will take more time than single framing. I have not upgraded to the latest ADpro yet so I cannot convert my framestores through ADpro. Yes I got it done by Nate and…
I have an A2000 with a toaster 4000 board. I also have a A1200 with plenty of RAM and speed. If I render an animation on my 200 and tell the toaster to save it as a lightwave anim can I play it back on a A1200? I don't want…
Great to see you guys here on CIS. I have been using SCALA here in Curacao for small presentations for quite some time. I just got a new A4000 and am planning to upgrade my MM200 to the new version. I'm glad I can now get information here on CIS…
lightwave anims on A1200
Message #67493
I want to know if it is possible to play lightwave 3D animations on an A1200. If yes what program is needed?
Victor konta, I live in Curacao and I also have a toaster. Try NewTek Tech support directly. But if you have to send the board back get a customs form (In Curacao model F) and than they will only charge taxes on the repair costs when you get your board…
That is what I'doing right now. But it is installed on DH1: and I think that it might be a problem to restore it somewhere else if I later use another harddisk. But I guess backing up that way is beteer than not backing up at all. Edward Hanst
#BACKING UP T3.0
Message #61800
I need some help making a backup of my TOASTER 3.0 disks. I got my doubleup package today and tried to backup the disks but the machine tells me the disks are non-dos. I don't want to backup the installed version. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
I have the same problem with a 2000 and LW 2.0. I think it has something to do with memory because it happens most often when I also have something loaded in my layout screen. I' have 10Mb of RAM. Did you try this when only using modeler? Edward
Thanks I'm fedexing my check tomorrow to Newtek Thats an extra $20 on my side.
How much did you pay? Did you have to pay extra to get it shipped overnight
Thanks I'll try that number today.
#upgrade or new t4000
Message #60143
I am wondering what the street prices are for a new T4000 board? I am also tired of waiting for NewTek to come up with an upgrade program. I saw some mailorder prices lower than $2000. If this is true and they can deliver now I will buy a new…
THIS IS VERY STRANGE. let me give you my setup; A2000, 2Mb chip Ram, GVP 040-2000 with 8 Mb RAM, lightwave 2.0, ADOS 2.1. I received my board at the same time as my DOS upgrade so I decided to reinstall everything. before I started. So all my parameters are…
Jerry you won't be dissapointed. The quality is great and I have yet to see a dropout. I use SONY tapes. I compare it with my JVC and even in SVHS U-matic is still better. I use the JVC at home for preview purposes only and I do my real…
I understand nut my JVC/bcd2000 configuration rewinds and stays treaded after each frame and during this time lw is loading the new frame from disk. That's why the BCD2000 goes so fast. My 9850 has a preroll of 8 seconds and it works fine no errors. I was comparing because…
#Single framing speeds
Message #56867
Can anybody help with SFR speeds? I have a Nucleos psfc(old version) connected to a SONY VO-9850. using LW it takes 25 seconds per frame to record. I also have a BCD 2000 sfc connected to a JVC brs-810. This machine takes 8 seconds to record frames. I usually work…
I use lightwave also. I didn't have to remove or rename the lightwave version to get it to work with the 68040 it did that automatically. I have only 8 megs of RAM so I don't just burst mode either. I am happy with my board but I hope that…
Wayne I had a similar problem with my GVP 040. It didn't slow down though but it rendered at the same speed as my 030-28 I also have ADOS 2.1. Did you check if your kickstart is mapped right. go to the SHELL and type "GVPCPUCTRL". I solved the problem…
science and technology weekly is on sat 11:10am EST. I saw it on may 1st but they didn't mention the AMIGA.
I don't know about pricing but I hope they take into consideration that some of us already paid 395 for the 2.0 Upgrade. I paid list for my toaster and I upgraded a year later.
Thanks for your reply. Iwill have to check what state that is since I am calling from overseas through a leased line in NYC. If this is to far I might not be able to dial it.
Thanks for your answer, sounds like what I need. Do you have a regular phonenumber or fax number? I am calling form outside the US. I cannot call 1800 numbers all the time

Hi, everyone I am looking for 3D models of cars. Specifically Chevy's. Does anybody know a good company that has a large database. I am looking for ready made items not custom made. Phone numbers and some info will be appreciated. thanks Edward Hanst toasting on sunny CURACAO….
Thanks, I will try that but I was asking this question for a friend and he told me that it didn't work. I will have to go by his house and try it myself he is probably doing something wrong.
#canon pj1080 driver
Message #90296
I'm looking for a WB2.0 dirver for a CANON pj 1080. Where should I look for this driver?
Thanks for your reply. I'm using an IBM 8512 on my Amiga 3000 right now with no problems. I know 8515 will work also. But my problem is how to implement the touchscreen part. I guess for the connector you need a converter but what about the software?.
#IBM touchscreen
Message #90126
Hi everybody, I am wondering if it would be possible to connect an IBM 8516 Touchscreen to an AMIGA 1200 computer. This is a VGA(15pin) monitor and the touch screen part is an IBM PS/2 style mouse connector. I would like to do this because this is the only touchscreen…
John, When did you get your VTU I haven't seen one since december. What is the issue date? Edward, Toasting from sunny CURACAO!
Good point Jim. I live outside of the USA and there are no dealers here in Curacao. Last time I needed an Amiga I flew to Miami to get it. Cost me $350 for the plane ticket. I think I need 15 A1200 bye march I hope to get them…
The exact same happened to a friend of mine after he bought two new chips I gave him one 8520 of an old 1000 and he is back in business with 1 new 8520 and one very old A1000 8520. good luck.
The last number on the chip is the date it was manufactured. If the rest of the numbers are the same, then the chips are the same. Maybe one of your chips is not working. I had this happen to me once and my dealer did not exchange it. Try…
bad blocks
Message #77756
Can anybody help me with my harddisk? I had a bad file and I decided to do a bad block remap with GVP Fastprep The program tells me that there are no more spare blocks. I have a backup of the harddisk. So I wouldn't mind reformatting it. But I…
Thanks for the info. I got it to work on one of my machines. The problem was with the last disk was dh1 so it would not look further than that. I unchecked it in fastprep and rebooted. On my second machine I still don't see it. But I hope…

Does anybody know how to get a Syquest drive to work with GVP's impact SCSI controller? I have an A2000, Impact sII, External Syquest 88MB GVP's Software does not see anything on that SCSI ID. I'm Thinking that my ROM on the GVP is old, 2 years old. Does anybody…
