Amiga is Dead?
Message #64087
Yes, the fabled technical journal, and of course allways accurate Hunstville Times.. All of the computing world looks to the Huntsville Times to pick the emerging trends for the computer industry.. Sheesh..
20 Megabytes per Minute?? Most LAN speeds are in Megabits per Second.. 4 megabit, 10, 16, ect.. (MBPS) 20 Megabytes per Minute would be pretty fast.. (2.6 MBPS) For a small LAN..
Nothing changed…. But I did try the following: Went from 2.04 back to 2.03 and 2.02 Restored my BRUTAB file from a 6 month old backup (floppy) Disconnected my second hard disc, and connected the tape directly to to A3000's internal supply and internal cable. All to no avail.. My…
This drive behaved fine for 1 year.. But now, sheesh. The drive still activates, and acts like it should work, but alas it does not..

Message #23729
A little background: I have a 18 month old A3000. I have had a Wangtek ES5525 Scsi Tape drive on the system for 1 year. Recently the drive has stopped working on my Amiga (I also use the drive under UNIX on a IBMPC) but it continues to work on…
#A3000 SCSI Problems
Message #57775
I have heard from several people that the Amiga 3000's scsi controller has some problems. My specific problem has to do with a WANGTEK SCSI (ES5525) Tape drive.. At one time the drive worked on my amiga. It still works on my PC but on my amiga I get errors…
A3000 RAM
Message #57495
How can I tell if I have page mode or Static Coloumn mode ram in my A3000? I have 4 meg of Fast and 2 meg chip, and the fast ram I purchased from a A3000UX owner. I just don't know which kind I have and which kind to pruchse…

#Tape Dont Work!
Message #56743
I have a WangTek ES5525 Scsi Tape drive. It is attached to my Amiga 3000. A couple of weeks ago, the tape drive stopped working. When I run bru on the drive now it asks me to insert volume 1 in drive TAPE:. Nothing hardware or software wise has changed.…
CBM did not release the AS220 software?? I did not know that..
Someone has software to allow Amigas to attach to a novell network. the name of the company is Commodore..
Convert Wont!
Message #38328
I am happy New Horizons added WordPerfect to your convert program. But, I bring my wp 5.1 docs over and prowrite says 'this is not a word perfect file'.. Does it only understand 4.2? Also, it would be nice to be able to convert prowrite back to WP format.. Good…
Hmm.. I guess you need to know things like the block size, command set and so forth.. I managed to make a SCSI QIC drive work..
Anajog Joystick
Message #53208
Has anyone made the analog joystick interface described in the Anacal program? I have an A3000 and I made the interface but it does nothing.. (Yes, I checked the wiring and tried to center it with the anacal program)
I cannot answer for the CD ROM portion. If you only have one floppy then you can add a second hard disc internaly. Depending on the size of the SCSI disk you go with costs range from $250 – $lottsa money big drive.. I added a 160meg Seagate drive internally…

2410 U of Lowell Card

I was thinking about buying to 3000ux with the 2410 board.. What does the board get me in Amydos and Unix? How do you connect monitors, and what type can be connected? Alan

My understanding was an accellartor with a MMU… Problably a CBM accellartor!

Correct. I have made my own color screen, an I have revamed most of the icons to be 8 color… –Alan Russell
CGA monitor can display atleast 8 or 16 colors. but in diffrent screen modes the amount of colors reduce.. Basiclly a memory/bandwidth problem since CGA card only have like 16k ram..
Incorrect. A VGA monitor works fine with flicker fixer equiped amigas in ALL modes. At least that has been my experience with my CPD-1302 monitor, which is a multi sysnc, but currently I am usingit in VGA mode. Of course, I have a 3000… Also, productivity mode sucks. I use…
A VGA or SuperVga monitor will not work unless you purchase an A3000, or a flicker fixer for your amiga (they cost a couple hunderd dollards). Some multisync monitors will work, the telling sign is wether they have a scan rate of 15khz. The 1084S is halfway decent… –Alan Russell
Thanks Dude, Way cool…
CBM 2410 U of Lowell
Message #50308
Can anyone tell me what the U of Lowell board does? What can it give you in AmigaDos and AmiUnix? What is the cost?
Thanks. I think I need more than 1.50.. $2100?? Sold…

JR COMM User Group Disc.

The Gateway Amiga Club would like to know the pricing for JR COMM. I understand you give discounts for registered Amiga User Groups, is this correct? What are the procedures for registering the software this way? Thank you for your time. — Alan Russell
Old Monitors
Message #49682
Can I use an old IBM CGA (gennie IBM) or AMDEK 600 or a Business Land CGA Color monitor (made by magnivox) on an Amiga? Do CGA monitors not go low enough to understand the Amiga 15mhz output?
Supra is adding the abilty to do caller id/ring id to their new modems (or so it says in their add..)
Try an Amiga 3000, connections are on the rear of the right side, therby making everyone mad, or everyone happy.. Of course, since you can't use the Toaster in a A3000 it does not matter…
Thank you for your thoughful reply. I guess I will have to wait to have my bbs.. Alan Russell
Also, check with the sysop. By default V.32 is not enabled on USR Dual Standards.. And you have now found out the great divider of modems. Propriatary (HST, Hayes, PEP) Vs international Standard V32/V32bis.. — Alan Russell
Phone/Modem Switch
Message #47955
I want to run a BBS, but I hate the phone company. I was looking at the switchs that listen for a modem carrier, and then switch the phone call to the modem. Do they work? Do they work with all modem carriers (incl. V32/V32bis/HST)? Or is their just one…
It is amazing how one person can miss read a subject.. Sorry, Didn't mean to butt in.. –Alan Russell
Whoa, Too much beer that nite.. Sorry..
You are all wrong. This is an emulator called IBEM. And the demo can be downloaded from many good amiga BBS's. It does run real slow, about XT speed on a Amiga 3000.. So to all of you who say it don't exist.. It does.. The demo version only operates…
ProWrite Upgrade
Message #33597
My name is Alan Russell, and I send my money and disks for the upgrade on December 7, 1991. My Full address was 6449 Olethea Ave, St Louis, Mo, 63139, and I was upgrading from Version 3.1 to 3.2.. Where is my update? It has been over a month..
You could, of course, use a bridge board and then any one of the twinax adapters. Or you could add more Async Comm Ports to your S/36 (they should be cheap since the S/36 is pretty old), or you can purchase a Protocol Convertor (from Black box, among others) to…
IBM support Async terminals on the AS/400.. Do they support Async terms on the S/36?? If so, you may be able to find (or write) a terminal emulator that has a corisponding terminal on the S/36.. I would be glad to be of any further assistance (I call into my…
Dont get me wrong, I am not bitching, I am just stating a pretty plain fact. The amiga is missing most of the connectivity and open system stuff that PC's have. I don't know if anyone would even use the stuff, but the fact that their is little or no…
I think I have misstated the fact tho.. Just because Bill Gates says the Amiga is dead (not that he has, but humor me) does that make it true? Just because XXXXX says the Amiga is a bad platform because it does not do YYYYY, does that affect reality? Maybe…
Yea.. Unfortuanly a MAC with Macromind (I think thats the name) can control a dos app… Kinda hooks' it.. Bummer to have to reccomend a mac!
This Section
Message #18612
Well, this seems to be a dead section! Lets have a funeral! Does anyone know if CANDO or AmigaVision (or any other authoring system) can hook into a ms dos app running on a bridge board? (or something similiar).. I would like to do interactive trainnning for a PC app…
You are a typical dos bigot. Use CD \ to go back one dir. You would surly have a hard time with technological dos's such as amiga dos, or unix.. or cp/m or any other OS that was not exactly like PeeCissy dos. But, thats ok. Once you get use…
