Message #3893
Frustratingly enough, I switched to mapping to a cylinder to simplify matters, and actually got it to work once. When I re-entered my key cell after completing the animation I noticed that the brush wasn't grouped to the cylinder any longer….. I thought I had it for a second, but…

Did you folks really find and squash the IFF mapping bug? I received a disk from you last Thursday that I assumed contained the bug fix. Sorry to say, I still get the mirrored images when mapping brushes to objects. I'm following the instructions you gave me back in November…
Thanks for the info, glad to hear it wasn't something I was doing wrong, sorry to hear that you will have to spend time chasing bugs. On the IFF to 3D conversion, I wasn't suggesting an automatic conversion, more like something that would allow you to load an IFF image…
#IFF brushes etc.
Message #3218
Any further insights into the IFF brush mapping problem? (mirrored images) I hoped the patch program posted would address that, but I guess not. I may have mentioned this before, a nice followup program for Turbo would be one that would allow you to load IFF images and trace them…
What I wonder is, are we the only ones with this problem? Brush mapping was one of the things I intended to use heavily, I have stuff I've used as static screens in industrial videos that are begging to be jazzed up with some motion.
That's an idea…… I've used Dpaint, and have also manipulated the brush images with Pixmate. I was originally using a full IFF screen as a brush, then yesterday tried an actual Dpaint brush, with the same mirrored results.
#Brush Mapping again?
Message #2943
Stan, I tried your suggestions contained in message # 2897 and sorry to say, that didn't take care of the mapping/gnippam problem. Instead of 2 discrete images though, the forward/backward brush was connected. I had a sphere of 100 units, axis of 200 Z and 320 Y. The axis was…
#IFF mapping….
Message #2892
Stan, did you get the cell I uploaded over the weekend? The one I was having trouble with the IFF mapping on? I only mention because I see from the message traffic that some other uploads may have gotten lost.
Thanks, I'll try that, actually I'll try making the brush axis larger than the sphere, as I'm sure the axis size I chose was the same size as the major and minor size of the sphere. Am I correct in assuming that the only two aspects of the axis I…
#Turbo 3 and IFF brushes
Message #2780
I'm having a small problem with Turbo and IFF brush mapping, and I'm wondering if you might be able to tell me what I'm doing wrong. I have a logo that I'd like to map onto a sphere and then rotate the sphere. I've got the brush assigned to an…
I've had it in that configuration before and it's still not very stable. My current hopeful fix is massive shielding between the HD card and the memory card, so far it's working……. now I've probably jinxed it. 🙂 Keith
Well I'm glad to hear I'm not alone, though sorry to hear you have the same problems…. Yes, the RAM is moved to the Micron board, and I have tried them in all sorts of different configurations, but can't find one that's stable. The 2090 is beginning to look less…
Thanks Rick, your clue about the large transfers is right on target, it happens more frequently when doing large amounts of I/O. I pressed Agnes back into her socket just the other day, but maybe I need to try that again. Since everyone seems to be pointing the finger at…
#Expanding 2000?
Message #176
I'm getting pretty frustrated with a problem I'm having with my 2000. I purchased it during the trade-in and later bought an adapter to let me use my 2 meg Starboard in it. All was fine with that memory card until I purchased the Commodore 2090 HD controller, then I…
Kickstarting User Group
Message #117774
Help! The number of Amiga users here in Lawrence KS has reached critical mass, and I find myself organizing a user group. Does anyone have sample by-laws I could see to attempt to get this thing going by the book? (Organization is NOT my strong suit) Any help would be…

You might take a look at either the Panasonic AG-1950 if you want VHS, or the Sony SL-HF1000 if you want Beta. The Panasonic has (quoting from the Operating Instructions) "Frame-by-Frame Recording Function. This function makes it possible to perform a momentary recording of about a quarter of a second."…

Thanks for the info, I'll pass it along and hope he doesn't have any problems with his particular machine.
Thanks Rick, I'm hoping the setup works well for my friend, since I'm the one who recommended he go that route. I'm apprehensive a bit, since I also suggested he get an Insider, and I've heard some rumors of problems with the combination. If grounding the PAL's on the WCS…
Hello Brenden…. no I'm not referring to a satellite, just a Hard Disk controller from Western Digital to use with an interface board for the Amiga 1000……
Thanks Larry, I'll tell him to stick to what's recommended. I'm guessing he had some problems finding a WX1, but don't know for sure since I was out when he called and didn't talk to him directly. I know he reads Computer Shopper, so there shouldn't be a problem finding…
#Wedge Controller
Message #104698
I have another question to pass on from my friend considering the Wedge. He wants to know if the Western Digital WX2A is a suitable substitute for the WX1. Thanks for any info you can provide. Keith
Thanks Larry, I'll tell Jim that he can go ahead and get the WD controller. Keith

B2000
Message #101362
I'm not Dave, but my list of 2000 Motherboard jumpers sheet shows J200 as being the jumper that determines how a lightpen will be read. With pins 2 and 3 jumpered (the normal way) the lightpen input is from the FIRE input of mouse/joyport 2, just like the A500. With…

Mega ST Shows Up
Message #82934
If this is the same "ST Juggler" I'm familiar with, it should look pretty familiar to all of us. Someone I know with an ST and an Amiga used Grabbit to catch IFF files of the Juggler in action, then ported them over to the ST, with the loss in…
#Pansonic 3.5 and A1000
Message #76151
I'm trying to interface a Panasonic 3.5" drive as a replacement for my external drive on the A1000 but am baffled by the jumper blocks on the underside of the drive. Isn't Panasonic the drive used in the 2000? If so, do you have any hints or clues as to…

Scribble! also supports 400 lines using the * in the command line. If you set your background to black and text to red, and from Prefrences change white to a shade of grey, it is almost usable.

Bela, Transformer WILL boot off of a 720k micro-floppy. Not five minutes ago I fed it the DOS disk of the PC convertible I have here for the weekend. I have my Config.sys file set up a bit differently from what is posted here though. Since I'm still only a…
