ISDN /Bitsurfer
Message #209577
Has anyone tried the Motorola BitSurfer ISDN adapter with an Amiga? I am going to get pricing info tomorrow on ISDN lines in CT and the Motorola box for $399 looks like a great deal 🙂 The Bitsurfer supposedly gives you a terminal adapter etc all rolled into one box…
Oliver: Are you the author of the IDEFIX program? I can't get it working on my A4000. I have tried both the LoadIDE and IDEFix programs in my startup sequence right before SETPATCH and both lock up the machine. I am also running SHAPESHITER which does a machine reset and…
Find M. Conzemius
Message #208447
A Martin Conzemius emailed me a while back for an 040 board that I have for sale. I lost his EMAIL address. Martin, if you are out there please EMAIL me if you are still interested in the 3640 board. Thanks, Norm M. From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
Hank: Sorry to here that :(. There are some other developers working on other WEB readers and internet access packages for Ami. I found one called SimilaSoft that are developing such a package. The original Amosaic team is also working on a newer version. One can only hope for the…
Hank: I also have noticed time of day can make a big difference in speed. I only use Mosaic and use it as the interface to FTP etc. I find that the CIS software is faster at reading in the pages and inline graphics. I was just wondering if the…
Hank: I noticed the demo version on AmiTCP and PPP are relatively slow compared to the software that CIS provides for use under Windows. Do the registered versions give you any speed increase? Norm M. From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..

Message #188047
I am looking for a source of HPVIsi toners. Is there a good mail order source? Thanks, Norm M.
Dan: I use a 270 meg Syquest but I have never used a Bernoulli. I have the DKB version of the 4091 which I think has some bug fixes. It works VERY WELL for me! Norm From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
Dan: I have the DKB 4091 :). Here are the settings out of the manual. Default settings for all 8 DIPs is off. Dips 1 – 3 used together for SCSI address. Dip 4 is SCSI Fast Bus select – off is Fast Bus – on is Fast Bus disable…
#Retina or Picasso II ?
Message #182676
Robert: As far as I know it should. One of the guys in the Hartford Amiga User Group has an A2000 with a Picasso II and runs it with no problems. I have had great luck with the board in my A4000 :). Norm From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
Richard: Thanks for the input :). I have tried DEGRADER and other options to try and get the software to run, but no luck yet. The CD has 2 versions of the software, one for IBM and one for CDTV. I tried the IBM version at work and at least…
CDTV title on A4000
Message #180630
HELP!!! I just purchased some CD roms to run on my A4000 with CD Rom drive. The 2 CD32 titles, "Insight Technology" & "Grolier Encyclopedia" both work with no problems. The CDTV title, "Illustrated Holy Bible", will NOT run no matter what I have tried. It appears that the text…
Don: The board should be in the MIDDLE of the chain. Remove the jumpers from the board itself and put ACTIVE terminators on both ends of the chain. I'm not familiar with the Warp Engine, but doesn't it have an external and internal SCSI connection?? If it doesn't, I'm not…
Don: I had similar problems with the 4091 HD controller being used along with a HD and Tandberg tape drive. I dumped the passive term resistors and added ACTIVE TERMINATORS to both ends of the SCSI chain. That cleared up my problems. Norm M. From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
Epson Stylus 720dpi
Message #176756
Gary: Thanks for the input. I have an HPIIIp for text output :). I had considered purchasing one of the new 600dpi or 1200dpi lasers, but color output is shure nice. Norm M. From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
#Epson Stylus 720dpi
Message #176755
Carl: I think I will probably purchase the Primera or Primer Pro then. I want it to output scans of photographs and to play around with color output. I also like the ability to purchase heat transfer paper and make custom shirts etc. Thanks for the detailed input. I saw…
Chris: Thanks, I'll do that. Norm From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
#HELP!!! Upgrade
Message #94008
I recently purchased the Artdept upgrade from 2.2 to 2.5. When I received the package I installed the program and it asked for my name and serial number. Since there was no paperwork with the package other than the manual, I assumed that the serial number needed was the one…
Dirk: It depends which model IDEK 5017. There is one that scans down to 15khz and the other I believe only scans down to 31khz VGA type resolution. The model I have scans down to 15khz and has the controls on the front of it. I use it in an…
#1960 Monitor
Message #167578
Bob: The 1960 is a multisync type monitor and thus it will work with VGA type output. It was designed for the 4000 and 1200 series Amigas. Norm From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
Steve: Thanks 🙂 I am still getting some errors but at least it will scan. Norm From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
John: That does appear to work 🙂 I am still getting some errors but at least I can get it to scan. Thanks, Norm M. From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
DJ: Thanks for the quick info :). Norm From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
#Epson Scanner ??
Message #92036
I just purchased an Epson ES300c along with your AdPro driver and cable from a fellow here on Compuserve. I have the scanner hooked up to my A4000/040. When I try to scan I get the E-1 interface error. Nothing I do seems to solve it. HELP!!!!!!!!! NORM From Connecticut…
SCSI Scanner Hook
Message #92035
Can the EPSON Scanner Controller software be used with a SCSI type connection on the scanner? I would like to hook up the scanner to the SCSI connector on my A4000 instead of using the parallel port. Norm From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
#Picasso II???
Message #166597
I just purchased a used IDEK MF-5017 and it came with NO manual. Does anyone know what the scan rate is? I have the Picasso II board and have tried to figure out what to put in the driver for the scan. The default is 38khz. I also noticed that…
Paul: Thanks for the invite but I am kind of tied up Saturday. I belong to the Hartford Amiga User Group HAUG. 🙂 Norm From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
#1960 Monitor
Message #166294
I have a COMMODORE 1960 Mutli-Sync monitor For Sale. I have used it for about 18 months and it is in excellent condition. I have just upgraded to a larger monitor so I have no need for it. I used it with an Amiga 4000. I am asking $350 or…
Don: I know SCSI I uses RESISTOR packs but SCSI II uses something called ACTIVE termination. I'm not sure what the terminators have in them but they are not JUST RESISTOR PACKS. Norm From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
Gary: Thanks 🙂 The stock terminator I assume is PASSSIVE? I would have to add ACTIVE termination since I have a SCSI II type controller. Thanks Again, Norm M. From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
Gary: I would be using it with an A4000/040. I have the DKB 4091 SCSI2 board installed. Do the MiGraph scanners have a passthrough for the SCSI? Thanks, Norm M. From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
#Which Scanner??
Message #165368
I am considering purchasing a flat bed color scanner and was wondering what the best one for use with the AMIGA would be. I just received an add from MiGraph for there MS1200 and MS2400 scanners and was wondering if there scanners are any better than say EPSON or CANNON…
Dan: There is a commercial product ABTools that might rescue your drive. There are also shareware programs in the forum such as DISKSALVE that might recover the data. What does the AUTO button due? Does it write a new RDB? If it repartioned the drive, you could put it back…
Matthew: I have the C=040 board and am thinking of upgrading to Warp speed. How much are you offering for one? Norm From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..

Rick: O.S. Computer City in May Computer Shopper page 645. The advertise as being scanner specialists and have the EPSON ES-300C for $399. Norm From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
Richard: I have seen adds for new ES300c scanners for $399. I don't know how much the Imagemaster software sells for but you may be asking to much. Norm From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
Dale: I think the company that sells the 300watt A2000 power supplies also upgrades A4000 power supplies. I don't know if they do anything with the fan though. I can't think of the company name off hand. Norm From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..

A4000 Problems
Message #147847
I have been running the PicassoII graphics board. When I use a normal Amiga display my screen is now garbled. I get vertical lines down the screen and the display is very dim. I pulled the Picasso board out of the machine and still appear to have the same problem.…
Andrew: I still have for sale a Tandberg 3600 tape drive. It is a SCSI drive and uses 150meg or 250meg tapes. I was using it with my A4000 and an ICD Advantage HD controller. It is just a bare drive as I had it mounted in an external case…
Andrew: I'd like to get at least $200. Norm From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
Paul: I live in Unionville, part of Farmington, CT. It is right outside of Hartford. I hope you are right on the motherboard issue :). Norm From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
Paul: SMG has had the motherboards backordered for months, according to my dealer. Now that Commodore is no more, I am starting to doubt if I will EVER get the new motherboard. Norm From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..
DKB 4091 ForSale
Message #145038
I purchased a DKB4091 so that I could get the "FREE" A4000 motherboard upgrade to fix my Buster chip. It appears now, after 4 months, that I will never get the new motherboard. Thus, I am selling the 4091 for BEST REASONABLE OFFER. The board is BRAND NEW still in…
Kevin: Make sure you have the SCSI bus terminated. I had problems with my tape drive when the bus was not terminated. My drive does not have any place to put the terminators so I installed it in the middle of the SCSI chain and terminated the last drive, A…
You can use 150meg or 250meg tapes. The newest version of Quarterback I believe allows you to back up a partition to more than one tape. Norm From Connecticut >>>>On AUTOPILOT…..

Tandberg 3600 Tape
Message #143156
Andrew: The tape drive has a standard SCSI interface. It uses the 6150 150meg or 250meg type tapes. I bought the unit used at an IBM show about two years ago. The transfer speed depends on the type of HD controller used. I never really tested the speed. I had…
