2.0 on an A1000?
Message #78694
Jeff. You can also buy a little board from DKB or The GrapeVine group called the KwikStart II that plugs into the 68000 socket and will hold both a 2.04 rom and the 1.3 rom so that you can boot either operating system. it is listed on the December issue…
Hi again Brian Yes you were right I was creating seperate Docks for all my dock items instead of one dock and adding the objects. (duh !!) It all makes sense now, once I have done it properly. I had read and re-read that manual and it still didn't click.…
MFR20E.lha upload
Message #28996
Hi Michael I have a question regarding uploads to the forums, I have uploaded a file MFR20E.LHA twice within the last 20 days to Lib 11 of the AmigaTech forum and it never seems to get released. Was it never received ? Is it considered unfit for general release? If…
Brian Maybe I am doing something wrong in setting up my dock items. I have found that each item seems to think that it is it's own dock and I have had to individually position each item very carefully to get them to line up in the same column. Did…
Pete, I have to agree with you, I like the added functionality but find it takes a lot longer to configure to get back the same setup I was running with 1.5. I also have had a hard time to get the Dock items to line up properly. it seems…
Dom Sorry about the name screwup, sometimes it's hard to tell who started what in these threads. I don't think TERM has a 'built-in' scripting language, you must use Arexx macros to control Term. I have just re-read the term manual and see no evidence of any language other than…
#Term2.3
Message #72090
Angel I have got Term Autologins working, finally after much playing around I discovered that you put the name of the Macro you will use to do the login dialog in the Commands menu item for the phone book entry. Then in the entry that says Startup/Login you enter the…
Aspect Ratio
Message #42519
Hi All I know this may be an old topic but, can anyone explain how to figure out what the aspect ratio should be when setting up various presets for use with Imagine 2.0. I would like to render pictures in 640*480, 800*600, 1024*768 etc. for future conversion and display…
Betty: Thanks for testing the file out and verifying it BAD, I have downloaded hundreds of MegaBytes of data from Compuserve in the 5 or 6 years I have been a user, and was starting to get a little miffed at the basic assumption that I did not know what…
Michael: I have downloaded the ILBM.LHA file twice now and I still can't extract the driver. I am using the new version of LHA (1.32). I get the same results with the Test, Look & Extract functions, the file is OK, but it is empty. LHA T ILBM.LHA or LHA…
Michael: Thanks for the info on the new LHA version, I will download it and check out the new driver. / So much Great Amiga Software, so little Time !! \/ John Lemoine via Whap! 75320,143 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
NOT SO Michael I just downloaded the ILBM.LHA file and it transferred ok. but when an attempt is made to extract using LHA 1.22 I get a 0 bytes extracted message. The archive tests OK. but has nothing in it ??? Are you sure the archive is OK. or are…
OOOPS!! You are correct, What a dim wit. I must have just ripped open the envelope and dumped out the disk without checking to see if anything else was in the envelope. Most software registration cards are just in the box with the docs. Anyway I will forward my (new…
#QB5.0 Registration card
Message #39387
Hello I bought Quarterback 5.0 at my local dealer's shop a few days ago but upon opening the Package did not find any kind of registration card. How do I go about making sure I get registered properly?, and what information should I supply? I am very impressed with the…
Charles Blaquiere I thought that the dots texture was a map of disks, not 3d-Spheres. In any event I have WASTED another evening trying to get DOTS to work. I have placed a DOTS texture on a plane 800×600 in dimension with the texture axis x=0 y=0 z=+5, this does…
bug in DOTS texture ????
Message #37445
Hi All Has anybody noticed problems with the DOTS texture supplied with Imagine 2.0. I have found that it does not work the same as the one that was with 1.1. I have a 800×600 plane and has a DOT texture map, with a spacing of 60, and a dot…
David Something that also may help, use a 68010 processor. They have much greater noise immunity on the bus and give a small increase in speed as a side benifit, this can help in many cases. Also have you grounded all the PALS together ?? There is a problem on…
Hi again Kevin Yes I would be interested in meeting once in a while re. Imagine stuff. and doing a show and tell (over a few HomeBrews). WOW small world, I worked for AGT for 8.5 years in Altel Data, repairing all the Sperry P.C.'s and IBM telecomm controllers etc..…
Hi again Andrew Seeing that you work for MSS ! Can you answer my enquiries re. current Excellence! revision info. I understand that the Postscript output under Excellence 2.00c did not work properly. I am currently at 2.00a and would like to get the current rev. but only if the…
No Andrew It doesnt do anything special, all it does is act like any ordinary printer driver. It takes the incoming ASCII text and converts it to Postscript lines that obey the settings that were set in Preferences. The Font it uses is Courier because that is a monospaced font,…
Hi Kevin, Sure I would like to get together sometime, I live near the Coliseum. I used to belong to AmiCue but always missed the meetings, so have given up for now. I don't get the time I would like to to play with Imagine, I have a Wife a…
Thanks for the info on phone #' but U.S. 1-800 #' don't work outside of the U.S.. FLAME ON This a very sore point with me that Impulse publishes the 1-800 and stopped publishing the regular #. They seem to have no concept on International support. I have written them…
Hi Kirk Thankyou for the info re. the Impulse phone number. I have now ordered Imagine 2.0 and will be waiting to jump the mailman for it everyday. keep on Imagining Ha Ha!! So much Great Amiga Software, so little Time !! John Lemoine via Whap! 75320,143 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Message #34943
Hi Folks Does anybody have the Impulse Phone number ?? I want to order the Imagine 2.0 upgrade, but live in Canada so I can't use the 1-800 #, also the old # listed in the newsletters doesn't seem to work anymore (612-566-0221). I want to order by Phone so…
Hi Tim I have just what you are looking for, a PostScript printer driver. It has been kicking around for a while now, It was written by Chris Nicotra.(72466,765) It say's it is a Beta 0.9 release but seems to work fine for me under dos 1.3 as well as…

thanks I will check the DTPFORUM out So much Great Amiga Software, so little Time !! John Lemoine via Whap! 75320,143 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
I am looking for AFM's for about 70 fonts, I still havent had a chance to see if they are ADOBE fonts or not, the DOCS I got with the fonts, said they were converted from postscript fonts on a MAC with Fontographer and there should have been AFM's in…
Thanks for the info Mike I will check out the DTPForum for the AFM files. So much Great Amiga Software, so little Time !! John Lemoine via Whap! 75320,143 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
#AFM search Help please!
Message #43224
Hi everybody Does anybody know where to get .AFM files for Postscript fonts, I have downloaded a number of Fonts from here and there, but only have the .PFB and .PFM files. So I can use them with Adobe type manager on my PeeCee but to use them with PageStream…
Rejuvenator/Lucas fix

Hi Ron It seems Whap Blew up my diagram of what you should see in your amiga, I have substituted periods for blanks this time. I hope it is understandable this time. You count from the front of AMI towards the back. The right rear edge of the daughter board…

Hi Ron I am the Guy who posted the mod. I had major problems with finding a 7474 that would work in my Lucas and after consulting with a bunch of guys in the local user group, decided to bypass that rather quirky part of the design. Brad wanted to…
I dont know about your Gurus Kevin, but I havent been able to reliably render very many pictures in Trace mode that are bigger than 320×200 on my A1000 with Lucas/Frances and 4 Megs 32bit ram. I am running 1.3.3 and Imagine 1.1 and most traces that have texture maps…

Hi Bob Thanks for the tips on the Compiler stuff. I guess my biggest problem is I dont know the difference between one data type and another and when it is safe to do a cast to another type. I find the myriad varieties of data types and structs on…
#Lattice & Aztec code dif
Message #4726
Hi Does anybody know what is different about writing code for Aztec versus the Lattice(SAS) compilers. What should I watch out for?? I am fairly new to C programming and have been using the Lattice 5.1 package, but it seems that programs written for Aztec dont compile under Lattice very…
Printer drivers/panasoni
Message #2324
Hi Betty (or any one else) My parents recently bought an Amiga 500 and we are trying to get Excellence 2.0 to work with their Panasonic KX1090 Printer but we are having trouble getting a printer driver to work with it. The Epson drivers sort of work but we occaisionally…
Don Yes I was aware of this. I have been using Rad: in a minimal configuration (just enough to reboot and remount my hard drives and Vd0:) and use Vd0: as a replacement for Ram: I have a A1000 with a Lucas/Frances 4Meg and a A2058 Ram board in a…

#problem with VD0:
Message #117779
Thomas Why on earth would you suggest that VD0: wouldnt reboot properly on an A1000. Vd0: was written on a A1000 back when most people hadnt even heard of Amigas. I have been using it on my 1000 for about four years. It is an outstanding product by Perry Kivolowitz…
It is also possible to have a broken wire in the mouse cable. I recently had problems with my old mouse (4.5 years). It would occaisionally not move properly, I eventually found if you held the cable a certain way it would work ok. I had to chop out the…
Greg, Thanks for the Info regarding the Rejuvenator shipping problems. I am just about to go on holidays for two weeks, so I might as well wait it out for the Agnus Chips to arrive at Expert. I bet you guys are starting to wish you had bought the Agnus…
Rejuvenator is Missing
Message #107666
Hi Greg I am writing you in enquiry about my order for a Rejuvinator. I made my order on March 22 to Expert Services and was told that they would ship at the end of April but have seen messages on the Nets that there was a delay due to…
Mike to overide Mackie's check of weather or not the program is running already you just have to press the Ctrl key when you press the key that would trigger the macro or program. The docs included with Mackie are pretty sparse but the example mackierc file is helpful, if…
Thanks a lot Jeff. I have been trying to get hold of that program for more than a month now. It seems that since the legal battles over Tetris clones FF305 has been pulled because of the game Obsess on it. So I have had a hard time finding anyone…
Almost any hotkey utility can start a NewShell. What sets Mackie apart is that it can tell whether the program is already running and if so it will bring its screen or Window to the front, if it is not running already it will run the program. I have yet…
Hi Dennis I am surprised you got all that stuff to work in the first place with out doing any mods. I have found the Expansion box to be very noisy. I am currently Running an A1000 with a Lucas/Frances(4 meg) with the Phoenix box with power supply. In the…
Mackie does one thing I havent seen in any other Hot key utility. It allows you to bring a window to the front that is keyed to the same key you used to trigger the program in the first place. ( what ??) Example.(1) I have the W key progammed…
