#114654 access!, cis-b Message #114792
From: Bob Adams The Amiga Forum · Telecommunications March 20, 1988 3:03 PM
If the problem were line noise, shouldn't access show an increasing NAK count for certain blocks? While the data rates are decreasing during my download, I access! isn't displaying an increasing NAK count. Bob Adams
#access!, cis-b Message #114651
From: Bob Adams The Amiga Forum · Telecommunications March 19, 1988 8:57 PM
The "quick cis-b" protocol downloading ain't so quick. Trying to download a 100K file using access 1.29 at 2400 baud, the first 50K or so zipped along at 16K/min. Then things slowed down to 2K/min (25secs per 1024 block — at 2400 baud!!!) What's happening? ALso, is there an abort…
#fedtax87.wks Message #111442
From: Bob Adams The Amiga Forum · Amiga at Work February 28, 1988 7:21 AM
Rick, Did you find that ANALYZE!2.0 had any problems with fedtax87.wks? I found that after archiving from 123 format (changed ext to .wks) that a) sometimes analyze!2.0 would lockup during loading. b) if loading was successful, any attempt to change any cell (after protect disable) would send the Amiga into…
#Starterm 3.01 Message #25430
From: Bob Adams Forum unknown · Telecommunications July 5, 1986 4:28 PM
Thanks for tip re ctrl-o. Still having problems with Starterm3.01 causing guru errors. Most recent was while in full window, requested binary download, and had just typed in file name "df1:name"; program hung, then guru 3.000027D2. Had a second cli open before starting Starterm, but no task active. Had set…

printer drivers Message #25389
From: Bob Adams Forum unknown · Programming July 5, 1986 8:28 AM
Anyone know if it is possible to write a printer driver with Aztec C? If so, what is difference from Lattice C/ASM? Thanks, Bob Adams 75275,1102

#21255- #spreadsheets Message #21559
From: Bob Adams Forum unknown · Amiga at Work June 2, 1986 5:27 PM
I've heard that VIP is a memory hog; only 32K left for spreadsheet with 512K machine and that calculations are very slow: over a minute for a small 20 by 20 array. Since maxiplan advertises sparse matrix calculations plus database and plotting routines, sounds like has the advantages of analyze…

Amiga monitor Message #15459
From: Bob Adams Forum unknown · Hardware April 20, 1986 7:23 AM
Thought the colors on my Amiga 1080 monitor looked a little dull. In fact, colors seemed to be more saturated if I used composite mode, rather than RGB. (Not as sharp or clear, of course, but brighter colors.) So, I took it back to my dealer. After some discussion, he…

From: Bob Adams The Amiga Forum · Tool Box February 18, 1986 12:22 AM
Any thoughts on how to get a printer driver for a Canon (TRS CGP220) inkjet printer? Bought one when on sale for $300. Like the quality: better than OKIMATE, not quite as good as Diablo, but so far, doesn't require much mantinence. Understand AMiga printer drivers are discussed in the…
