#Amiga Dealer Con
Message #163626
I went to AA Computers in Anne Arundel County, Maryland to buy two 8520 chips for my Amiga 2000 and was told by a clerk there that he couldn't sell me any parts for the Motherboard over the counter because it was in the store's contract as an authorized Commodore…
I don't think that's the problem, Dale. My Epson FX-85 has been working fine with my computer for years. It just this past week started giving me trouble. RJ……….on AutoPilot
#What's Wrong with this?
Message #144050
I have a problem with my printer. My Amiga 2000, on boot up, goes into a continuous cycle of accessing the hard disk, the printer sounding as if it is initializing and then repeating the cycle ad infinitum. If I turn the printer off, my Amiga works fine. Once I…
#MachV Free?
Message #40339
I see that Fish disk 952 has a program called MachV on it. I am a registered user of MachIV by Brian Moates published by Polyglot Software. Is the MachV upgrade free now? RJ……….on AutoPilot
Thanks, Randy, you were right. I recieved my upgrade Tuesday. RJ……….on AutoPilot
#QB upgrade lost?
Message #75168
I mailed in a check Jan. 17th and although my processed check has already been returned, I still have not seen the Quarteback v6.0 upgrade I ordered. Would you check and let me know if it is on it's way? Thank you. RJ……….on AutoPilot
#missing upload
Message #130578
I marked the file in lib 15 "SDARK.lzh for downloading and got the message "file not found". Has the file been removed? It consisted of Superdark v2.0. RJ……….on AutoPilot
Best CD ROM drive?
Message #130554
Thanks, Trent, Your information is greatly appreciated. As for a SCSI device, I am currently equipped with a TrumpCard Pro and a 210 Quantum hard drive for my A2000. RJ……….on AutoPilot

Message #129715
What's the best CD ROM Drive to purchase for the Amiga? RJ……….on AutoPilot

Thanks, Pat. RJ……….on AutoPilot
#Viewing 256 AGA
Message #36353
I would like to know if it is possible to view 256 AGA color pictures on an Amiga 2000 and if so, with what viewer. RJ……….on AutoPilot
Gotcha. Thanks. RJ……….on AutoPilot
Thanks, Dom, I finally got it right. One thing though, is there anyway to get the marble_classic pattern in the other windows beside the workbench? RJ……….on AutoPilot
#MagicWB help
Message #110890
After unarcing the MagicWB.lzh file I used the "unpack MagicWB" icon, it unpacked but left out some directories and files. I therefore unpacked the MagicWB.lha file from the cli. Then I used the install icon and it left out the WBpattern.prefs file. I manually copied it. I get the icons…
Thanks for the tip, Jon. RJ……….on AutoPilot
#Dopus problem
Message #62249
I noticed that the number of bytes to a file is cut off in the windows of Dopus by the last digit. What should read 20000 reads 2000. How can this be rectified? RJ……….on AutoPilot
People are always looking to appear cool and with it. Like Ro-Day-O instead of Rod-E-O., shhedule instead of skedule, the metric system, and now, the date thing. The whole thing makes me sick. I am an American, stop trying to make me a European. Now, everyone, repeat after me: On…
I'm with you, Dom. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. In this case, America. Let's face it, as far as the U.S. goes, it is number one in the world so let the world adapt to our ways if there is to be any adapting done.
Roy, I tried Quarterback Tools to try and fix the readme.doc file and QBT showed an error for the install program too. You have any trouble with the install program? RJ……….on AutoPilot
#corrupt update files
Message #61062
I just received my 4.11 update to DirectoryOpus. I have a checksum error on disk block 904 on the readme.doc.info file and a checksum error on disk block 1218 of the readme.doc file. Should I return the disk or can you download the above mentioned files via the forum? RJ……….on…
SBPro4 Update
Message #60777
I have SBPro4 version 1.01. As I have not received any update notices, Would you please tell me how and at what cost I may receive the latest version? Thank you. RJ……….on AutoPilot
What is the latest version of CygnusEd Pro? Do you notify users of upgrades? RJ……….on AutoPilot
Thanks for clearing that up for me. RJ……….on AutoPilot
Thanks Bob. RJ……….on AutoPilot
Thanks Randy, That is very succinct directions and I followed it successfully. RJ……….on AutoPilot
The "Read_This" file states: Quarterback Tools 2.0.1 now requests your serial number the first time you run it. The serial number can be found on the back of your original Quarterback Tools Deluxe disk, with the change that THE FIRST THREE DIGITS MUST BE 201 RATHER THAN 200. This is…
Does that mean I should use the setpatch update in place of my WB2.1 v38 setpatch even though it is a lower number? RJ……….on AutoPilot
All I can say is, CENTRAL COAST, WHERE ARE YOU?
Don't people ever test their stuff before uploading to the forum? I guess that would be too easy.
I just checked and yes, 38.31 is my current version of setpatch. RJ……….on AutoPilot
You are right Dave, The WB2.1 version I have is 38.31. Why is someone uploading an outdated setpatch update? RJ……….on AutoPilot
Now why didn't I think of that? RJ……….on AutoPilot
#Setpatch update
Message #104224
When installing the Setpatch update, I get the message "Error: New setpatch is not of the correct version". I have an Amiga 2000 with WB2.1 and a setpatch version 37.31. Why won't it update?
#QBTools update
Message #59128
I downloaded the Quarterback Tools 2.0.1 update and installed it. When I try to run it, a requestor appears asking for my serial number. The Okay button is not active. I can fill in my name and serial number but cannot use the okay button. The only button that works…
Jon, My tapes now number about 400, so three digits should be sufficient I would think. I think it would take a dedicated video buff (with money to burn) to have tapes numbering in the thousands. RJ……….on AutoPilot
#Vidtape Storage
Message #100367
Yeah, Jon, that sounds like that would do the trick. RJ……….on AutoPilot
Jon, I like having a length field in the program, so I think I will wait to see if you come up with something in the future, Movies are not the only thing we tape. There are numerous TV documentaries and such that are 1 hour in length resulting in…
Jon, All my tapes are numbered and my present database list the titles and their tape number. During my earlier taping I put 3 movies on a tape. This means that I should be allowed to add 3 titles to one tape number. What I do is look at a…
#Vidtape Storage
Message #99966
In your Docs to Vidtape Storage You state that one could go to SWREG on Compuserve and download the file for which Compuserve would bill me the registration fee. I found that all I could do was register the program with SWREG. There was nothing on the menus about download…
Clark, I moved the 'delete ram:LastSet.dat' between the END and EXIT lines and it seems to work fine now. I've come across a few Arexx programs that always seem to need a little tweeking. I don't understand how someone can upload a program that doesn't work. You would think they…
Clark, Your suggestioncorrected part of the problem. Now, when the program checks and finds it is a new month it runs atomclock and attempts to save the Ram:Lastset.dat to the s: directory. The problem is that settime.rexx has already deleted Lastset.dat from Ram: and cannot open ram:Lastset.dat for input. If…
Thanks, Steve. RJ……….on AutoPilot
Clark, I know next to nothing when it comes to programming. You have asked me in essence what my post is asking. How do I get settime.rexx to work? Are you saying that I must type the word END somewhere or replace a word with it and if so, where?…
#Forum Connect Rates
Message #95519
I know what the CompuServe connect rate is, but what are the AmigaForum connect charges? RJ……….on AutoPilot
Thanks Mike, that's just what I needed to know. RJ……….on AutoPilot
settime atomclock
Message #95284
I am trying to use the "Settime.rexx" script that came with your program, AtomClock V.1.2a. I get an "error 26 in line 32; missing or unexpected END settime.rexx failed (return code 10)". Here is the script, would you check it out and tell what may be wrong? The 32nd line…
Bill, I use the AtomClock program to call and set my system clock. It also comes with an Arexx file called "settime.rexx" which will automatically run AtomClock once a month. The docs say if I have Arexx and WShell, to insert it into my startup-sequence. I tried inserting it in…
Bill, Thanks. RJ……….on AutoPilot
#WShell Startup
Message #34148
Bill, How would I get to run a program from WShell on startup? Everything seems to run from the original startup shell and then leaves me with the WShell window. In other words, I would like to automatically run commands from the WShell at startup. Is there any way to…
