Dale, Have your friend check out Tapcis, NavCis or OzCis. I think NavCis and OzCis have windows versions. I use Tapcis which is still a DOS program. George Brown
Can you give us the ISBN for the book so we can have our book stores order it if it's not on the shelf? George Brown
Doug, Try over in the MacComm forum and look for MacLHA 2.11. George
You can find the B5 media kit over on the sci-fi forum. George Brown
Good luck. I running it with 2.53(?) I think, I definitely don't have 2.56 yet. Unfortunately, my usually messy office is even worse as I've been working on my taxes and I don't see my Amax disks at the moment. George Brown
I am running system 7.1 with my AMAX II cartridge. I can run Microsoft Word 5.1, Lotus 1-2-3 and I just did my taxes with MacIntax. I have an Amiga 2500. George Brown
Paul, I am currently running a 2090a and a 2091 in my Amiga 2000 with no problems. I boot from the 40 meg hard drive on the 2090a. I basically left my 2090a configuration alone and added the 2091 to my system. I used the utility HDTOOLBOX to partition my…
Don, Well, thanks anyway Don. I was afraid I'd have to take it into the repair shop but I thought I'd check here first just in case it was something simple. George counting my pennies
Don, I don't think the printer got zapped by the lightening but I'm not sure. I was able to shift the cable from by Amiga to a toshiba laptop and print a word for windows document with no problems. I got the error doing a copy prt: I tried your…
Printing Problem
Message #77606
I am having a problem with my printer. When I try to print I get the following error message: Error in writing – Error 1 Can anyone tell me what this error means? I have an Amiga 2000HD with A2630 and I'm running dos 2.04. I'm trying to print to…
Donovan, I don't know if I can use 7E1, I'll check it out when I get a chance. I have not seen the system error, ID=14 as yet. I downloaded messages from several mac forums and got an index files on several of the forums with Navigator and did not…
#AMAX at 9600 baud
Message #45292
Donovan, I made the changes to the setup string an voila! it worked perfectly. Oh! and I loved the S95=44. And by the way this is being sent to you via Navigator on AMAX. George
Donovan, I'll try out your suggestions on changes to the initialization string. As for the speaker, I haven't noticed any problems with it. I've had it for about six or seven months. George
Donovan, I had the same problem as you when using my Practical Periphals 9600 modem with Mac software on Amax II. What were the settings that allowed it to work for you? George Brown 75016,3441
Don, Thanks I removed the Mount = 1 and it worked perfectly. George
Mounting Amax Partition
Message #44977
I've finally installed dos 2.04 on my Amiga2000HD. I have a minor problem. When I mount my Amax hard drive partition in my startup script, I get a requester that says correctly the AMAX partition is not a dos partition and I then have to hit RETRY or CANCEL. By…
Roger, apparently some people have had no problems using the Cutting Edge drive. But I had the same problem as you. I just couldn't get the Cutting Edge drive to work so I switched to an Apple drive. George
Curios! The Cutting Edge drive I tried wouldn't work. Maybe I just had a bad drive. George
Roger, I tried a Cutting Edge drive with my AMAX II and found I couldn't get the drive to work. I finally gave up and got the more expensive Apple 800k drive which worked fine. George Brown
Steve, Yes, the problem was my confusing a lower case l with the number one. When I was taught typing in high school, in the days before personal computers, the l (lower case L) and one (1) could be interchanged. In fact, some typewriters required you to use the l…
Steve, thanks I definitely did not understand that BT_REXX and "BT_msg" were different ports. George
More Arexx Problems
Message #30923
Since I got such great help on my first problem with ARexx, I thought I'd throw this one at you. I am getting an Error 13 – Host environment not found when the program get to ONSTRING. Here are the program statement up to that point: options results test =…
John, Your right. I was typing 1 (one) instead of l (L). Thanks, George
Bob, Your right I was typing 1 (one) not l , they both look so much alike. I figured it was something simple. Thanks George
Steve, I have version 1.15 of ARexx. George
arexx problem w/Backtalk
Message #30901
Steve, First of all, I am new at writing anything in Arexx but I wanted to use Backtalk to logon to the mainframe at work. And I wanted to write an Arexx program to logon and download some information. I am launching the Arexx program from CLI, external to Backtalk.…
Douglas, the hddisk.device does not need to be in the devs directory, only the Amax drivere hddisk.amhd. I just got AMAXII to work with my A2090a controller. It did take me a while to understand that the name you use in your Mountlist for the Amax partition must start with…
Well, Dave, I just did the same thing (hooked up a Quantum 105S) to a A2090a. First of all Don Curtis gave me the necessary drive information to use: number of heads = 6, number of cylinders = 1709 and the number of sectors per track = 20. The SCSI…
Don, thanks. Yeah! It does make sense. I have the drive formated, partitioned and the partitions mounted. I followed your example and kept DH2: at only one cylinder. Again, thanks. George
Dave, thanks for your explanation. This is beginning to make sense. By the way, with everyones help I have managed to format and partition my drive and modify my startup sequence to mount the partitions. This has taught me a LOT about hard drives! George
Don, when you say default file system, is that beyond the first two tracks of the drive which if I understand correctly are needed by amigados? In other words, I set up a partition RES2: on the first two tracks and mount this and then do a PREP RES2: to…
OOPS! I intended to type Don's Message 2242, I don't know how I typed 2215. I guess I was so excited about getting the information. George
Don, thanks for the information. I am work but I will try it as soon as I get home this evening. This has really been a learning excercise. I understand that the number of total sectors it what's important for a SCSI. One question though, in reading through the information…
Larry, thanks a lot for the information. Between what you have given and what Don sent me in Message 2215, I think I can get this sucker to work. Again thanks, George 75016, 3441
Quantum 105S Specs
Message #1438
Help, I just got a Quantum 105S hard drive but I don't have any of the documentation. Could someone tell me the number of heads, number of cylinders and sectors per track for this drive? Thanks George Brown, 75016,3441

Message #71512
Betty, I couldn't agree with you more! Once you know how to do it, it's hard to see how it took you so long to see it. I have to admit, I really like to figure it out on my own. But the "lone wolf" approach can be awfully time…
