Sam >I don't want them to act like a real military officer. I want them to be exciting, interesting and different. If I wanted to watch real military officers all day I'd join the military. That's reasonable. >Just hit a sore spot. Well, I see your point there, but noway…
Blaq, OK, Then were in this together, Lone Ranger! Here's where my Pentium A2500 plan sits: Wife has a 486 sx50. I have P-100. Have networked the 486 and P100 on peer-peer Either net with Windows for Work Groups s/w. Total cost for net h/w about $125 for 2 Boards…
Sam >anyone find the new startrek boring dumb and somewhat femministic-ish? After 26 years as a computer science career militay officer, I test the Star Trek characters credibility with by attempting to remember actual officers who fit the fictional personalities. James Kirk was the hardest to match. He sort of…
GreG, >What are you having difficulty with? There've been several messages recently that touched on how it's used. Where are you getting stuck? PMFJI on this long serries of threads, and for revealing my oun laziness, but I think what I was hoping to see or wanting to find in…

Blaq! >Pretty nifty. Indeed! What would it take to connect a Pentium to an A2500? Or how will/does your Pentium A3000 work? Denny
Tar, a sticky problem
Message #106026
Friends The problem with un"z"ing and un"tar"ing the AcesHigh.iob file from the Syndesis Avalon CD-ROM with WinZip and rendering it in Imagine 3.2 is solved. There was a faulty operator at my keyboard. WinZip supports an option called "TAR LF to CR/LF Conversion." About what John mentioned: "Be sure that…

Hmmm. There is probably a better "tar"ed "z"ed file to use to check a system than that one. Do you happen to know of one which might: be on either 3D-ROM uncompressed and unpacked, and be on Avalon as an imagine/TDDD object?

John, Thanks for offering those utilities. Will call Monday AM. Meanwhile, I have a dumb question that you could help by answering. The 3D object file I using as the repeatable test case is called AcesHigh, which is on your Avalon disk as "objects/tddd/aces_high.tar.z". Both your 3D-ROM disks use "landis/AcesHigh/AcesHigh"…

Friends, I'm having trouble loading Imagine objects from The Syndesis Avalon disk. I undrestand, as pg 1 of the associated book says, that I need a few Unix tools, which I just downloaded via IBMFF, and I appreciate that in the IBM world file names get truncated and that some…
Yup, thats me. Thanks.

Amiga->PC Upgrade?
Message #103071
Hi again. I replyed yesterday saying that I sidegraded Amiga Imagine to PC Imagine for $200. Checking my records, I find that I went from Amiga Imagine 2.x to PC Imagine 3.0. So it was an upside grade…. say that to civil enineers and they may freak out trying to…

Amiga->PC Upgrade?
Message #103008
Thanks for asking about a "side-grade" for Amiga InterChange Users. Syndesis Amiga InterChange and I go way back…My Original 1.4 disk has a low 4 digit ID on it! Look forward to knowing more about your PC product. The Amiga was nice while it lasted but now I model in…
GreG, Thanks for suggesting the Universal Vesa Driver program(s). They seemed to fix my missing VESA driver problems and don't seem to have caused any new ones. Their enclosed known bug report indicates that there is some sort of memory page management problem which may ocurr with chips including my…
Ijust mounted the driver GreG T. suggested for my cirrus chips. It appears to work on my cirrus 54xx chips. If you're keeping score, you'll notice my chip numbers changed. QEMM disagrees with Norton and the VESA driver. Majority says 54xx. Minority says 610/20. The forum that had it was…
#VESA Interface . . . NOT
Message #102799
Thank you to Martin and GreG for your suggestions on my non-VESA displaying Pentium. Martin asked what video board…Cirrus – GD610/20. GreG suggested getting appropriate drivers. I took a look at my config.sys and didn't see anything that looked like a VESA driver being called up. Looked for DOS drivers…

Need some tech support or perhaps a "We built it that way that year" said with Sympathy. I'm an old Amiga user that hasn't become expert on PC jargon, busses ,etc. Just got a Pentium-100 PCI machine and Im 3.2. How fitting. When I used to run Im on wife's…
#Imagine vs Pentium Bug
Message #97299
Sorry if PC Imagine is out of scope. Don't know where else to ask. Thinking of buying a Pentium PC to run Imagine for producing Demonstrative animations for court. Is my Imagine s/w vulnerable in any way that would show on an animation to that pesky little flt pt bug…
