CD+G
Message #42014
Left this question last week and got no response, so I'll try one more time: Does anyone know if it is possible to view the graphics on an audio cd with CD+G on a pc? I have several audio cds with the CD+G feature, including Jimi Hendrix Smash Hits. I…
Hardcard reformat woes
Message #91082
I have a GVP 40 meg hardcard, one of the "Impact" hardcards that GVP was selling a few years ago. I am trying to reformate it by using the software that came with it, but am having problems. The script seems to go along fine with the low level formatting,…
HARDWARE SALE
Message #90953
Don, Would you consider going up to $250 for the SuperGen if I included the Midi Interface, and the DigiView? Nick
Tony, If it is the Live!2000/Invision Plus you mean, then I guess I wasn't very clear in my original message. Here goes: I am selling a Live!2000 board for the Amiga 2000.It can be used to digitized video from your vcr or camcorder. It has 4 RCA type connecters. You…
Tony, It is a DigiView 3.0. Don't know about the Perfect Sound. They both come with the original support software. The DigiView has a colorwheel included. Nick

Michael, Thanks for the reply. What you say sounds reasonable. I have used BAD twice since the problem started, though. I only have 1.7 meg left on the drive. Tonight I will delete at least 5 meg and use BAD again. If that doesnt work I will try your suggestion.…
#GVP Hardcard Problems
Message #83984
I am having a problem with a an older GVP 40 meg hardcard in my A2000 (rev. 6 motherboard) and am hoping someone here can help me, or at least point me in the right direction: When I turn the computer on and the hd attempts to boot-up, I get…
Actually, the problem does occur during cold boot-the first time I turn it on during the day. Now sometimes the bootup stalls during my startupsequence where the line is: "SYS:gvpscripts/tstGVPscsi ?" with the error message: "tstGVPscsi is not an object module" I power down and then back up after 30…
#HD read errors
Message #53756
I have a GVP hardcard, purchased about 3 years ago, in my A2000. Lately, when I first try to boot up, I get an error message, saying the disk has a read error. When I power down and turn the computer back on, it boots properly. Anyone have any idea…
Tony, If I can't get anyone to trade a bridgeboard, I would definately be interested in the cd rom. Is it a scsi, and will it work with an ibm compatible, too? I have a GVP hd controller (about 3 yrs old) in my Amiga…will this work with it do…
#BRIDGEBOARD/AVT Swap?
Message #53372
Ok, lets get down to some horse trad'n… In previous messages I have advertised an AVT for sale for $200.00. I am lowering the price to $175.00 *OR* I will swap it for a bridgboard. The AVT is a device by Black Belt Systems that, when hooked to an appropriate…

AVT for SALE!
Message #50633
******* FOR SALE ****** AEA's AVT (Amiga Video Terminal) SSTV and FAX System by Black Belt Software Allows you to send and receive color or b&w images via your ham transceiver (or just receive with a receiver) . Just hook this puppy into your Amiga and your ham radio and…
Yes, you are right. The old Supergen is a good product. Upon re-reading my previous message, I guess it sounded a bit too harsh. Mea culpa, DC.
Chris, Thanks for the information regarding your problems with the Supergen. I called Digital Creations once regarding my problem, which was with the RGB passthru (the composit output was fine, but I had to disconnect my Supergen when not in use so I could use my Amiga for other things).…
Chris, I own an external SuperGen, but not the A2320 or any other display enhancer, so I can't offer any advice on this one. I am, however, intrigued by your mention of a $45 upgrade from DC. Can you give me more details on this? I have been having problems…
Jerry, Sorry, I don't own one. I am just familiar with the specs as I have been shoping for a new monitor lately. The 1391 seemed very similar to the Nec 3-D in its specs. It costs about $100 more than a 1381. As for myself, after months of shoping…
Jerry, Unless I am mistaken, the Panasonic 1381 does not scan down to 15.75 KHZ. However, the more expensive 1391 does. Nick
Thanks, Chris. Guess I'll have to pay Radio Shack a visit and buy one. My A500 has a 1.2 rom and I have a 1.3 just collecting dust. Nick
Thanks. I've got a spare 1.3 rom lying around…guess I'll break down and buy T10 and install it into the A500. Nick
Chris, BTW, can you tell me what size torx screwdriver is needed for the those screws in the A500 case? Nick
Phil, Have you tried moving the 8-up as far away from the HD controller as is physically possible? I remember that did the trick for me when I had the Rev 3.9 board and was experiencing crashes while rendering with Turbo Silver. If you do that and it works, then…

A2000 crashes!
Message #10184
Thanks, John, for the info on SID. I like the program very much. I was afraid that it might fall by the wayside with the release of WB 2.0, but it looks it'll be around for awhile. Nick
Thanks for the info on SID, John. Nick
As a matter of fact, I have an A500 as well as the 2000. Never had a single problem with it, now that you mention it ;^) Nick
I am not 100% sure that the 8-UP is the culprit here, but it seems the most likely candidate at this point. Everything is working, after a fashion, so I have no pressing desire to invest in a new mem board, although I have been tempted to upgrade my GVP…
Thanks for the information. I have not sent in the Shareware fee because I have heard that SID is not 2.0 compatible. Do you know anything about this? Nick
Phil, I am all too familiar with the black screen you describe. It has followed my A2000 through a motherboard revision and still comes back to haunt me. I get it mostly when using SID, a file manager type-program. I have a GVP controller and a 40 meg Quantum, a…
Thanks for your recommendation. Sounds like its the PK 232 for me. Flashing LEDs are my _life_!
Thanks for your reply, Paul. I am investigating the units you mentioned. Sounds like Black Belt will be doing some support software, which suddenly makes owning one a much more attractive proposition to me! Nick
Oh, well….just a thought. Guess I'll investigate the units you mentioned, especially if Black Belt is developing support software for fax , etc. Do you recommend one unit over the others (PK-232 vs. KAM)? Nick
Thanks for the clarification…guess the AVT isn't real well-suited to act as a RTTY demodulator after all. Say, since Black Belt Systems is the number 1 Amiga developer of radio-related products, perhaps there is a place in your lineup for such a device? An inexpensive RTTY and Morse decoder built…
Dennis, Jumper 300 has three prongs. The jumper should connect prongs 1 and 2. Nick
Paul, Thanks for your reply. I must say you have me intrigued…may I ask what you are referring to when you mention "other solutions available for less money for morse and rtty"? Do you mean a hardware/software combination for the Amiga? Nick
OK, Ben, guess this bell tolls for you… Since, as I understand it, both fax and RTTY operate using frequency-shift keying, and since AVT does a super job with fax, could software be written to allow AVT to decode RTTY? Or am I overlooking something obvious? I am very much…
AVT for RTTY?
Message #5240
Paul, I recently read your comments about using the AVT with the Overview option board. I recently purchased my first Receiver and an AVT at practically the same time, so I am new to both the SWL hobby and the AVT. Could you give me an idea as to the…
Rick, Is it too late for registered users of TS to upgrade to IMAGINE for the special price? Nick
Thanks for the reply, Ben. I have strung up a short length of wire and am having surprisingly good results with it. I will contact Universal Radio and get a catalog soon for a more substantial antenna. Actually I already have a catalog from them, but it is for used…
Thanks, Paul. Just looked up their number in an ad in CQ Magazine. I'll give them a try. Nick
#Radio Daze
Message #18878
Ben, Several weeks ago I queried you about choosing a receiver to use with AVT and you recommended several. I took your advice and today bought a used Yaesu FRG-7. I was wondering if you could make a recommendation on what to use for an antenna? Store bought, or string…
Good idea, Bill (about switching jumper to see if tick loss is from power supply). Thanks. Nick
thanks for the help, Kalid. Guess a trip to the nearest dealer is in my immediate future! Nick Moore
Thanks, Don, for the information on the demise of my A2000's 8520. Haven't noticed any problems with the parallel port or internal floppy yet. Its interesting you should mention jumper J300. When I first swapped motherboards I found I couldn't keep my Supergen online on my system because it would…
#My Clock has stopped!
Message #161
I have a problem with the real time clock on my A2000 rev 6.2B that I am hoping someone will be able to give me some guidance on: The clock seems to work…that is, when I boot my system the correct time is loaded into workbench. The problem is that…
Ben, Thanks for the advice. I printed out your message and it will be in my pocket for reference Sunday morning at the hamfest! Nick Moore Amiga…its an attitude

Message #18569
Ben, I plan to attend a large hamfest (Findlay, Ohio) this Sunday and if I can locate a good used receiver for the right price, I plan to invest in your AVT system. What do I need for this? What features should I look for? Any recomendations would be appreciated,…
