Hi Chris. > I'm getting an icon that says "DF1????". You need to remove a jumper on your motherboard, it's jumper J301, and it lives on the motherboard next to the floppy ribbon cable, if memory serves me. > When I first turn on the computer, my 1gig HD doesn't…
Hi David. I tried to send you an email and I wound up sending it to myself /8-0> I called and left you a message that it is no longer available. My client didn't want to hold out waiting for an 060, and paid cash yesterday. Sorry…. 🙁 Mike
Hello David. Sorry I didn't return your phone call, I'm out on the road setting up a sound system for an Arabian gig. I recieved a check today for the 040 board. My client was holding out for an 060 board, but since their release is going to be held…
>Latest word here is Jan'96 on the '060's. Hope that's wrong. Hi Hank. Last word I got was Feb.96, and I just finished speaking to several hopefull 060 manufacturers. Seems as though the last 060 run still has flaws, and it will take another production run to work them out.…
Hi Paul. Are you with SMG? I contacted Steve a few weeks back for Amiga info. I faxed a bio sheet and a copy of my resale certificate. I have yet to have been contacted. You can fax me the info at 609-625-0472 Mike Brennan, Sir Render A/V
PMFJI: Hi Ray. I was just looking into the GURU Rom. I have been having trouble running the new, faster type muti Gig drives on GVP 030 and 040 cards. (read/write errors, ect.) Do you think the rom upgrade will help? Are there any downsides? Thanks.. Mike Brennan, Sir Render…
>My LW PC is a door stop because I'm not sufficiently savvy at this point to feel comfortable buying a WinNT station to do it justice. < Your not alone. After the introduction of LWPC, and no end of the C= saga in sight, I decided to integrate my own…
Hi Wayne. From what I understand,Bill Gates already bought the "open GL" libraries, and I seem to remember him buying an option on some 3D program. It seems to me that Lightwave would be the prize here. BTW, I keep meaning to ask you why you keep saying Lightwave PC…
Hello David. I may have a GVP 040 board for sale next week. I have someone else that wants it, but didn't come up with the cash. I'll sell it with or without RAM, it now has 8 megs. You can reach me at 609 625 0472, or reach me…
>I know you were kidding! I know that you knew that I was kidding, but I was just kidding about you not knowing that _I_ was kidding ! 8-} You never know when I might need a system. I've already filed it in my "gear for sale" directory. Mike Brennan,…
Thanks for the help. When I solve this I'll post the results. Mike Brennan, Sir Render
OH NO, Say it Ain't So ! Gee, do you think billy boy will support the Amiga? NOT ! Another honorable vendor gone. Can't blame them, money talks……. I always thought that Newtek would be a prime Microsoft takeover target. Wait a minute, no one show that to Gates, OK…
Hi John. Just to make a point, the 1942 is a quad sync monitor, not a multi sync. It works in all resolutions, a nice monitor for the money. I hope that you don't mind that I pointed that out. It could save you trouble in the long run. Mike…
A3000 Scsi Problem HELP!
Message #215870
< The other problem was random read/write errors.> >>This I suspect only happens when an external cable is connected ? If so replace the cable with one that has ALL the grounds connected. Nope, this happens even when I use only the internal drives. Mike Brennan
I was just making a play on words, that why I said running, grinng, ducking ! Mike
I used to use VLT, what's the problem? Did you order the manual (free) from Stanford University ? Mike Brennan, Sir Render A/V

Hi Jeff >Motorola simply cannot supply the 060 in large enough quanitities. One Amiga company involved with making accelerators was recently told to expect 060's in dribs and drabs< I can confirm this. Do to problems with PC lightwave and high prices on Alpha LW (now $2000.00), some of my…
GOOD NEWS AT LAST !!!! Maybe it's the leap of faith we've been waiting for.! Thanks for the great news ! Mike Brennan, Sir Render A/V
Hi Steve. >If it was the "unexpected device status thing, it could only be the drive spinning up too slowly.< That was one of the problems, how do you remedy that? The other problem was random read/write errors. >Keep the faith ! As I mentioned my new 1G went in…
>(I'm sure to get some 'entertaining' offers!) Will you sell it for a song and a dance ???? (R,G,D) 🙂 Mike Brennan, Sir Render A/V
Hi Kevin. We seem to keep missing each other. If you don't sell the system, I may still need it. I won't know for about one more week. BTW, I got a kick out of this hit or miss phone saga we had, between me working all those hours and…
Hi Steve. >Possibly true, I think only the later '040 cards had sockets, once GVP realized they'd screwe up Well, I guess I'l just get out the old soldering iron, then. l8-0 Just for the record, I had the same set of failures when I ran just the internal drive…
#A3000 Scsi Problem HELP!
Message #215287
>If you have an internal drive (in the Amiga) that is the head end (and should be terminated), not the controller. In this config you MUST remove the termination on the controller card. The "tail" end is the external (or LAST external) drive which must also be terminated (or use…

Hello from PA!
Message #209244
Ceasar's uses Scala ? The Tech crew has been poking fun at me for using Amigas, and all this time they were too ??? I guess they got a good laugh on me !!! I thought that their work looked too good to be a PC ! BTW, Showboat also…
Have your friend call me at 609-625-0472. I have a person who made me a lower offer than I wanted, if your friend calls me right away and will pay the price, it's his…..Thanks, Mike Brennan.
Thanks trent. I'm going to call him and recomend trying one chip at a time. I'm also going to try the "continue" command (left mouse button) to see if it will boot. I am also going to try a floppy boot, and run some mem tests. I don't have the…
I'm interested. Does it have a monitor? Do you know what revision the chips are? What does it come with? Please email me with the details, or call me at 609-625-0472 Mike Brennan, Sir Render A/V
I wanted to buy the Simm, I see Dave beat me to it. Email me if he changes his mind. Mike Brennan, Sir Render A/V

#Hello from PA!
Message #208591
Hi John, nice to hear from you. I recently did a job with Scala. I was an awards dinners honoring outstanding achivement in news reporting. The event was held at Merv Griffin's Resots Casino in Atlantic City. (that should read "Resorts" casino) I did 75 pages of text and graphics,…
Hi Stuart. You are right, OS/2 has Arexx support,Windows NT does not. Newtek is working with developers for plug in support, I believe that moduals must be written in "C". There has been mention of using Visual basic, but I don't think that Newtek has endorsed that. I always keep…
Very good news, indeed ! Thanks again for your hard work. Mike Brennan, Sir Render A/V
Thanks again Chuck. It would do my heart good to see a firm plan put into action. Kudos for your hard work in helping to resolve these issues. I'm certain,that in the long run,Newtek itself will reap the rewards of it's actions. I trust that the plan will be a…
Hi Erik. Yes, a terrible decision indeed ! I often wonder how things like that happen. Is MehdI Ali working for Newtek ???? I'm sure at some point, they will come around. But bad feelings about it will take some time to diminish. I really like Newtek's products,and I admire…
#Ram Problem
Message #119226
ALL I'm buying some GVP Ram from one of our fellow forum users,but he's having a problem. He has 16 meg,and he's selling me 8 meg. When he removes the eight meg, his machine won't boot. When he puts it back,all's well. We have tried all of the obvious things…
THanks,Chuck. _You_ , I have faith in. I hope that you understand my need to clarify. Newtek lost me with the 3.5 Bull, and I've been unable to make any moves on your products due to the fear of sudden unfair revision. Again, thank you for your help. Mike Brennan,…
Well, Chuck himself stated that the upgrade was in no danger of being cut, only to have eat his words a few days later.(I have that message) The offer was in print in all of the Amiga Rags,I believe that I have them also. My point is, that they ended…
Hi Erik, Nice work on the LightRom 2 CD ! I am fed up with Newtek, and I will no longer sell their products untill this bunk stops! I have been trying in vain for an answer on the upgrade policy for new 3.1/3.5 software purchases,not like it would matter…
Hi Hank. Chuck never got back to me, and I can't play Newtek guessing games about their upgrade policies.(I guess Chuck can't either,or he would have gotten back to me.) I'm not going to sell the 3.1/3.5 software, because if I do,and 4.x comes out in six weeks, but can't…
Hi Dave! These are the Lightwave tapes that I have for sale. Essentials,surfaces and textures,Displacement mapping-morphing and bones, camera and lighting techniques, and modeler part two. I'll take 25.00 per tape. If you want them all, I'll pay shipping. Thanks….Mike Brennan, Sir Render A/V exit
Hi Steve. I just bought 2 4meg simms for 100.00 each, and I've got two more on the way, I paid just a bit more. Thank you, though. Mike Brennan.

I need some GVP 4Meg Simms. If anyone has some for sale,email me or call me at 609-625-0472 Thanks….Mike Brennan, Sir Render A/V
Thanks Hank. I haven't heard from you in a while, I hope all is well. I have a client upgrading his 2.0 software to 3.1/3.5 I want to know if he is entitled to the free 4.x upgrade. Do you know for sure ? MIke Brennan, Sir Render A/V
MicroPace is a wholesale distributor, the do not sell retail to end users. Don't forget, I'm trying to find out if this is the case, so it is not a fact. In past conversations with Chuck B, he stated that the upgrade policy was not yet determined. I want to…
#No Amiga Toaster ?
Message #118595
Thanks Chuck, you're the best ! BTW, Micropace is saying that 3.1 Toaster with 3.5 Lightwave will be a free upgrade to 4.x Has that been confirmed, or are they misinformed ? Waiting on Escom? Don't wory, I'm sure everything will be settled in "two more weeks" 🙂 Mike Brennan,…

I suspect the CIA chips.I have tried every type of handshaking and such,tried different modems, different seriel ports, configurations, ect. and even different phone lines…
