#CIS Go Words
Message #216716
Does anyone know the EXACT name of the file for all the go words for CIS and where I can find it? David
Hi Hank, I wasn't talking about the 512k expansion card. I was referring to the extra RAM chip traces and holes for another four RAM chips next to the original 512k of RAM on the motherboard. In other words, 1mb RAM on the motherboard. Is it a future option which…
Forsale
Message #216406
Actually Steve, Mr. Wagner was asking about $450 for IV24's last time I looked. David (I wonder if I should worry that AT will ship any 060/A4000T's before I can save the money for one? Nah) 😉
Ron, MM300 is selling for $149 from SoftwareHut, don't you think your prices are a little high? David (75714,2776) Waiting just "two more weeks" for my 060/A4000T 😉
A500 RAM
Message #216279
I have an A500 rev. 6a motherboard and have noticed it has spots on the Motherboard for additional 512k RAM. What is required to install additional RAM and get it working? Is it as simple as de-soldering the board and soldering in the 4 chips? Is there a jumper that…
Phil, As far as I know the Dell drive is not available as an internal model. It was developed as a joint venture by Software Hut, Better Concepts and perhaps Dell computers themselves. I have only seen one other mail order house other than Software Hut and BCI advertising it…
Hi Phil, >>DO you have any info on what this "Dell" floppy is? I've read about it in several ads, but have no idea as to its compatibility, etc. Regards, Phil Combs
George, Thanks for the phone number. >>What exactly has happened? I have the same set-up with no problem. I started off with 1.3 and upgraded a couple of years ago to 2.04 etc and everything went flawlessly.
Joe, I still think that the more Amigas sell the faster the prices will come down. Probably not for this first run but if AT has good sales and can order parts in quantity for the next run it will help lower the costs. David (75714,2776) Waiting just "two more…
A500/ICD/2.04-2.1
Message #215743
More info on my continuing attempts to get 2.04 O.S. & 2.1 WB installed on my wifes's A500 with an ICD AdIDE HD controller. Motherboard = 6A 512k Chip 2meg Fast (MTec) Boots from floppy if AdIDE is disconnected (or kickstart jumper is set to 1.2 instead of 1.3 but…
#ICD AdIDE & 2.04
Message #215716
HELP! I am still looking for a way to contact ICD or confirm that they are out of business. I have removed the ICD AdIDE controller from my wife's A500 and have the 2.04 chip installed and working. If anyone knows why the AdIDE might be conflicting with the 2.04…
Bill, I recently moved a HD floppy from my A2000 to my A3000 and have been having trouble with since. Can you tell me more about not moving the jumpers; where did you get this info and what drives does it apply to? I can't remember what brand drive it…
Joe, Please don't make me laugh, >>It may be more serious than we want when everyone is racing to get their Amigas; choking supply, demand raising prices, etc…
I have no idea about what prices will be when they actually start shipping 4000T's. David (75714,2776)
William, I see Asha has relied for me with who to contact. I would dig out my install instructions but there have been a few different models of the Mega Chip and their installations may vary slightly. I wouldn't want to give you the wrong advice. I am sure Dean…
A3640 accell.
Message #210308
I just recently saw a thread here or in another Amiga Forum about the differences between the v3.0 & v3.1 of the A3640 accellerator boards but didn't read it carefully or keep it. Can anyone who has it please re-post it for me or tell me who sent it, I…
>>Someone here was selling a Video Toaster board for $450.00. If it's still available please send me an E-Mail.>>That was Hank Teller. It turned out to be a scam. Regards, Gary
Thanks for the address correction Betty, I was hoping that the address for Lex Crosett (spelling in first post from you had just the one "s") was included with his reply. I'll try CSI:J.SNELL. David (75714,2776) Waiting just "two more weeks" for my 060/A4000T
Thanks Betty, Do you also have a address for Lex Crosett? Do I include the CIS: with the J.SNELL address? David (75714,2776) Waiting just "two more weeks" for my 060/A4000T
Hi Betty, I read the reply to Mr. Letchford from Lex Crosett and was a little encouraged by it but would still like to send him and perhaps Jim Snell another letter. Do you have their CIS Id #'s? In the letter an email address is given for Jim Snell…
Clint, I have an A3000 that had a similar problem with the ScreenMode prefs. I found that it was due to a defective IV24 board which when removed, the missing screen modes magically showed up. I think you may be right about it having something to do with the addition…
Thanks for the help, I'll check the motherboard tonight. I think it is a 6a version. If I understand your post correctly though, with the 6a version motherboard no modifications are needed to the 2.04 ROM. David Just waiting "two more weeks" for my 060/A4000T
Thanks for the reply, I think my Motherboard is version 6 but I'll open it back up to confirm. My father also has a A500 which I am planning to upgrade to 2.04 O.S. and 2.1 WB this November when I go to visit him. His A500 is probably an…
Do you have any 3.1 ROM's left at that $75.00 price? David (75714,2776) Waiting just "two more weeks" for my 060/A4000T
#Siggraph
Message #119241
To all who could not attend the Siggraph show in LA. The show was great, I could have spent more time there but didn't want to get stuck in the traffic rush hour(s) so I left at about 2:30pm. It was sad to see almost no Amiga's there. Even the…
#EGS & GVP IV24
Message #208529
To All, I am looking for advice, documentation, books, etc. about the EGS graphics system and specifically it's use with and on the GVP IV24 card. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I would like to get as much use and benefit from my recently purchased A3000 and GVP Imapct…
#ESCOM – UUGH!!!
Message #208222
>> Thanks for the clarification. I don't recall the XT architecture. Was that just an 8088? Why wouldn't these programs run? Lack of RAM? What were your conclusions on this? "but many new programs need a lot of memory or Windows in 386-enhanced mode to run" Absolutely. So how is…
Christian, I thought the same thing so I bought a brand new 2.04 chip from Software Hut and tried it, same results. I put the other 2.04 chip back in my A1000 and it works fine there. The strange thing is I think I used these same items (2.04 chip…
Christian, Yes, the A500 that I have the ICD controller in would start to boot then crash and reboot itself just to have it happen again and again. It would not even boot from a floppy with the 2.04 chip installed. My wife's system consists of the following: A500 (bought…
#Upgrade Help
Message #47184
To all tech types, I have an A500 with an ICD AdIDE hard drive controller and 130mb 2.5" hard drive inside. I recently tried to upgrade to 2.04 O.S. and 2.1 WB but have found that the controller is not compatible, it has a jumper for O.S. 1.2 and 1.3.…
#Monitor Help
Message #197823
Don, Thanks for the info on monitor problems. I just talked to my Dad and he told me that it is not a 1080 as I had thought, it is a 1987 1084 made in Taiwan by CBM with a serial #026097. Do the reccomendations you gave me earlier for…
Dan, DCTV does not capture moving video. It is a slow scan digitizer (approx. 5 to 10 seconds) so if you have a rock solid freeze frame VCR you can scan video frame stills. It is a very low cost method for working with 24bit images although the output is…

I have recently given an A500 w/ a SupraXP500 HDD and the 1080 monitor that came with my used A1000 I purchased in 1989 to my Father. Although I never had any trouble with the monitor it has been going black on him after the computer has been on for…

Scott, What model monitor is it that comes with the A1000? David (75714,2776)
Steve, How much for the Bridge Board? Do you have all the docs' for it? David (75714,2776)
Hey Ed, Don't be shy tell the rest of us all about the VLAB Motion. David (75714,2776)
>>So: The advertising says "We are now offering the Amiga Technologies A5000 with built-in 24-bit graphics, 68060 CPU, 16-bit 8-channel sound, SCSI-2 controller, CD-ROM, and gigabyte drive…." And at the bottom of the page it says, in small print, "Amiga Technologies GmbH is a wholly owned subsidiary of EsCom…
Christian, Thanks for the info, I knew the longer I hung around here the more I would learn. BTW where can I find ZKick? Is it PD, Shareware or commercial? There is one game I own that does not operate properly under 1.3 or 2.1. I would like to use…

Hi Marion, I am glad that you have been following this thread. Do you have the address, phone number and/or CIS address for GMR Productions? What is "Rich's" last name? I am interested in finding out how much it would cost to get more speed out of my Vortex Golden…
#workbench2.0-amiga1000?
Message #196804
Dege, Thanks for the education, I didn't know that. I thought I had once read that the A1000 had only 256k of memory space allocated for the O.S. which prevented the larger 2.x O.S. from being able to be loaded? I don't know anything about zkick or how it works.…
Barry, I believe that to enable the 1mb of chip RAM a trace must be cut on your A500 mother board. You may already have the correct Agnus chip but not the trace cut to enable it. I have an A500 with 512 chip and 1.5mb fast RAM. I have…
Don, Thanks for the news and a great mag. Keep up the good work!

Wanted: Amiga version of SSI's Pool of Darkness Also if it was ever ported to the Amiga SSI's Unlimited Adventures Reply via Email to: Will Morris C/O David Morris (75714,2776)
The Amiga is not gone, dead, or any other deceased description you have for it! What other computer platform could have enjoyed the continued support, and activity almost a year after it stopped production? There's years of life left in all of my Amigas including the A1000 the children use.…

To all tech types, I need advice regarding connections between a PC and an Amiga SCSI ports or controllers. I have a Vortex Golden Gate 386sx 25Mhz bridgeboard in my A2000 w/ Vector 030 SCSI combo board. I have recently purchased a Sound Blaster with SCSI CD-ROM controller in hopes…
