#AMIGA & EXTRAS FOR SALE
Message #183080
Mark, How much are you asking for the 1084S monitor? Thanks, Brad
I'd be interested in hearing these prices, although they would have to be *REAL* good for me to buy one. Leave me E-mail at 75476,112. Brad
Before I say anything, let me say that I wouldn't trade my A2000 in for all the IBMs in the world. It is an incredible machine (I'm even thinking of buying an A3000T, since they are so cheap). However, Wayne has some valid points. Don't you remember when CBM stock…
In the latest AmigaWorld (Dec 1993), a place in Canada is selling 3000Ts for $798. The ad is on page 88.
#Commodity HELP
Message #122459
Maybe you can help me with a simple problem. I've been playing around with the Commodities on WB 2.1, and I'm trying to get the FKey commodity to work the way I want it to. Upon boot up, FKey's window appears. Now, is there a way to activate FKey without…
I am speculating that the AA+ chip set will allow the user to access more chip RAM. If I'm not mistaken, the current AA chipset is surface-mounted to the A4000's motherboard via PLCCs (plastic leadless/ed chip carriers). This means that with a special chip puller, the user will be able…
It depends. Chips can be surface mounted and still be easily upgradable. That is what the PLCC (Plastic Leadless Chip Carrier) is for. The actual chip isn't soldered to the motherboard; the socket is (surface mounted, that is).
I just ordered Quarterback Tools last week. Is there an upgrade program to get the new version
I'm having a problem that is just as weird as his problem. I installed the 2.04 ROM and an A2091 hardcard w/ Quantum 52 meg drive. It worked beautifully under 1.3 and 2.0. Next, I installed 2 megs of RAM into the card. Now, the computer crashes when I try…
I know that I've heard somewhere that early 4.x motherboards have problems with their expansion bus, but I'll see what happens. I gave him his Bridgeboard back until I can figure out what's wrong.
Don, Bad news. I took the Bridgeboard to a friends house, where it worked perfectly. This means that it has to be my motherboard (Rev 4.1). Do you know where I can find information about the modifications that need to be made to this board? I remember that I heard…
And why not? The 68020 chip was around in 87 (I forget the exact year it came out). I think CBM could have sold a 68020-based Amiga for around $2600 even then (of course, retail would have been higher, but lets not forget that the 2500 retailed for $4600 and…
True. And your point about higher cost equating with a higher R&D budget is quite true. However, I think that, hardware-wise, the Amiga is every bit as good as the Mac or PC. Software is the area where we lack (except in video,graphics, and animation software). I think my point…
Thanks, Don. I know the BB is seated correctly, as I have seated and reseated it several times. Also, I looked at the chips, and the didn't look loose. As a matter of fact, I pushed down on them and they were pretty tight. Perhaps I will extract them and…
Well, I hope whatever it is (and I hope I don't offend everyone) that CBM is developing will be marketed well. A lot of people will sugar coat CBM's policy regarding marketing, but when it comes down to it, it is what has hurt the Amiga most. The Amiga of…
I have tried reseating the board, but your suggestion about loose chips is a good one. I'll give it a try.
Hello. I've written messages over every major CBM forum, so I'll try this one too. I'm having trouble with my XT Bridgeboard. When I open a PC window, it always (well, except for 2 times) gives me a E000 Optional ROM Checksum Error. When I change the prefs RAM setting…
Bridgeboard
Message #23488
Help!!! I'm having a very bizarre problem with my XT Bridgeboard. When I click on an icon to open a PC window, everything starts out fine. I get the LPT1 at 0378h prompt, but after that, I will usually get the following error message: E000h Optional ROM checksum error xxh…
