CSA Turbo Amiga Message #30895
From: Jere M. Marrs Forum unknown · Hardware August 23, 1986 12:21 PM
I called CSA again to ask them some questions I have about their Turbo Amiga hardware. I had received some brochures earlier from them and I shared them with this forum. Here are questions and some answers. I'm sure this will generate further questions. I talked to Patricia Chouinard. 1.…

TxEd V1.3 Message #26451
From: Jere M. Marrs Forum unknown · Utilities July 12, 1986 11:54 PM
I just received the V1.3 update for TxEd, and it is really swift (in all senses). It still has that wonderful requester for the disk access, but there are about thirteen other enhancements too. One good one is the "Strip, etc." menu option which strips out the extra linefeeds (if…

#CSA Add-ons Message #26450
From: Jere M. Marrs Forum unknown · Hardware July 12, 1986 11:52 PM
I talked to Chuck Bennett of Computer Systems Associates (CSA) of San Diego last week, and he sent me the latest info regarding the 68020/68881 enhancements for 68000/68010-based systems. As we know, they've been selling the 68020/68881 piggyback board for about a year now which converts the Amiga (and other…

NTSC (composite) video signal is usually fed into the monitor with a 75-ohm cable and a plug that looks much like a stereo cable plug (RCA phono). The color information is contained in this signal with a subcarrier (19 MHz ?) with the chrominance encoded by phase modulation of the…

Sony Monitors Message #19539
From: Jere M. Marrs Forum unknown · Hardware May 21, 1986 1:00 AM
Sony makes a series of (relatively) low-cost monitors that are suited for use with the Amiga. They all have both digital and analog (_vide infra_) inputs as well as NTSC (composite video). Two of the series have what Sony calls "super fine pitch" in which the vertical stripe pitch (three…

Addison-Wesley Message #11141
From: Jere M. Marrs The Amiga Forum · Forum Business March 10, 1986 10:04 PM
I just received a missive from Addison-Wesley regarding my order of the ROM Kernal Manual and others. It was a credit memo against my charge for the items. The reason given was "Book invoiced but unable to ship." I hope this doesn't mean I will never get them! They were…

#The Real Books Message #12753
From: Jere M. Marrs The Commodore Forum · The Amiga from CBM November 15, 1985 12:17 AM
Jeric, I'm sorry I wasn't very clear in my message. By "the real thing" I meant the official books from Commodore/Amiga. I assumed that Addison-Wesely was the publisher of those official books. I was (am) afraid that I would end up buying the same books twice. On another subject: FORTH…
#Books, Disks Message #12587
From: Jere M. Marrs The Commodore Forum · The Amiga from CBM November 13, 1985 11:41 PM
Jeric, The last time I was down at CompuTron in Portland they had little mail-in cards from Bantam Books – here it is under the Amiga keyboard – where you could order the 'Prepublication' edition of the AmigaDOS manual for $49.95+$3 UPS. I don't know what a 'Prepublication' edition is!…
