Has anybody using IntroCad 1.07 found a bug when printing to either an HP-LaserJet or DeskJet printer. The Older IntroCad used THE IDENTICAL printer driver files WITHOUT ANY problems. The Newer IntroCad+ (V 1.07) does not work properly. It seems to skip and mis-allign the graphic printout. Any help would…

I called the tech support line of Applied Engineering in the hopes of resolving the problem with their High-density drive and the new 2.04 ROMS. Here is what they said. Currently, their engineering dept. has dropped ALL Amiga support. Only if enough users write to the engineering dept. concerning the…

Thanks Larry! I'll type it in and give it a try.

Thanks Larry. Have you tried HDINFO? I'm curious if anyone has gotten it to work as advertised. Bob…
#16304 ARexx Hdinfo.lzh? Message #16341
From: robert buchwald Amiga Tech Forum · ARexx November 12, 1991 5:06 PM
No I haven't tried using the WriteCh() function, but that looks like the easiest way to go. I was looking for a quick & dirty solution, like a simple option in the 'Say' command like 'Say/n' or something like that.
ARexx Hdinfo.lzh? Message #16264
From: robert buchwald Amiga Tech Forum · ARexx November 11, 1991 6:18 PM
Ok, I downloaded the HDINFO.lzh script and guess what? I doesn't work! Seems that the only info it shows is for dh0:. After playing with it for untold hours, I came close. Here is my problem: is there any way to suppress the newline generated by the 'say' command?? The…

I got my roms from my dealer. Software Hut in Philadelphia!
From: robert buchwald Amiga User Forum · Amiga Hardware October 26, 1991 11:49 PM
Has anyone had success getting the Applied Engineering High Density Drive to work under 2.04?? I am the proud owner of the new ROMS and it doesn't work!! I read about the problem and was wondering if anyone has solved it yet.
#SAS 1.0 to 1.0A?? Message #15727
From: robert buchwald Amiga Tech Forum · C Programming October 22, 1991 7:34 PM
Does anyone have the SAS patch for 5.10 to 5.10A? The readme file on the 5.10a to 5.10b patch states that there is one, but I,m not a member of that other bbs named in the file. Help is always appreciated.

Thanks Steve. Now I hope they can get the Kronos autoboot ROMs for me!
#94764 2091 HELP Message #95283
From: robert buchwald AmigaTech Forum · Drives/Controllers March 24, 1990 8:20 AM
I know I'm a glutton for punishment, Don, but the cable is round and not a ribbon. I just may get the crimp on connectors and some ribbon and go that route. I can't explain why it won't drive the 10 foot length, but I have two cables, one of…
CLtd help?? Message #94683
From: robert buchwald AmigaTech Forum · Drives/Controllers March 19, 1990 5:44 PM
Please put up the address for the shop that is handling the now defunct CLtd inventory. I saw the message up a couple of weeks ago and didn't jot it down. Thanks, Bob.
#94512 #2091 HELP Message #94681
From: robert buchwald AmigaTech Forum · Drives/Controllers March 19, 1990 5:39 PM
Thanks Don. I don't have the terminators installed on the internal drive, so I guess I'm ok. The 2091 does have them on it. I tried the 10 foot cable again and it doesn't work. I even put a meter on the conductors to make sure no wires were broken,…
#94213 #2091 HELP Message #94439
From: robert buchwald AmigaTech Forum · Drives/Controllers March 17, 1990 8:41 AM
Thanks Don. I finally got everything working. Seems that the buss driver current on the 2091 can't drive a 10 foot extension cable, even though SCSI standards call for up to 9 meters! Seagates tech help said that because the internal drive is possibly on a separate buss that I…
#94074 2091 HELP Message #94137
From: robert buchwald AmigaTech Forum · Drives/Controllers March 14, 1990 6:13 PM
Ok Steve, that's the info I was looking for. I had already figured them out though I wanted to be sure. With jumper 1 set, my internal Seagate was all 7 lun's!!! I now am able to get the system to boot with both drives connected. Here's one of the…
#93789 2091 HELP Message #93912
From: robert buchwald AmigaTech Forum · Drives/Controllers March 12, 1990 5:49 PM
Hmmm… My 2091 is LUN 0 and the drive is SCSI address 0. What does the manual say about the three option jumpers on the board? My external drive jumper is set for address 1 and I removed the jumper on my internal drive. The system still forces both addresses…

From: robert buchwald AmigaTech Forum · Drives/Controllers March 11, 1990 1:35 PM
Steve, sounds like you are right and I have already lined up a buyer for my package. The OMTI 3527 board is the one you are talking about. I can get one from Comp-u-save in New York for about $150, but I'm going another route by buying new drives. Now…
#93161 2091 ram chips ? Message #93305
Cathy, the board takes 256 x 4 chips. I'm not sure what speed, but I would use 100 nanosecond chips.
2091 HELP Message #92862
Help! I just replaced my CLtd Kronos board with the new 2091. Worked just fine with my Seagate ST157N, but ran into problems with my external drive. It is an Okidata 540 with an Adaptec 4070 SCSI-RLL board. The drive formatted and verified fine, but when I went to format…

Rick. Stupid of me! Thanks, Bob.
#97664 Access! ?? Message #97837
From: robert buchwald The Amiga Forum · Telecommunications December 11, 1987 10:26 AM
Boy Greg, talk about reading into something that you want to read! How stupid of me! Thanks. Now all you have to do is talk the CIS people into publishing a terminal program similar to the ones available for the IBM, 8-bit Atari, and others. I am having trouble using…
#Access! ?? Message #97662
From: robert buchwald The Amiga Forum · Telecommunications December 10, 1987 1:33 PM
I keep reading the bulletin about the new version of Access! with Kermit and Compuserve B, but I still don't see it? Can you tell me where it is? The latest version I have is 27, and I don't see any of the features mentioned in the bulletin. Bob
#91616 Word Perfect help? Message #91644
From: robert buchwald The Amiga Forum · Amiga at Work October 31, 1987 12:26 PM
Anne, I would love to have you E-Mail the codes to me. In fact, you could probably type a text file with the codes and upload them to the AmigaForem for anyone else who has the SG-10. How did you get the carriage return to work? Thanks, Bob.
#91592 Word Perfect help? Message #91610
From: robert buchwald The Amiga Forum · Amiga at Work October 31, 1987 12:42 AM
I believe I did turn the power to the printer off after changing the dip switch, Don, but even still, I want to be able to switch between Scribble! and Word Perfect without having to throw any switches. Maybe someone else out there has solved the problem, or maybe I'm…
#Word Perfect help? Message #91537
From: robert buchwald The Amiga Forum · Amiga at Work October 30, 1987 12:42 PM
I am having a problem setting up a printer driver for Word Perfect on my Star SG-10. I want to use Star mode and not IBM mode, so that I can use the printer with Scribble! as well. I have followed the directions at least 20 times, but in Star…
#89058 Popcli III Message #89182
From: robert buchwald The Amiga Forum · Tool Box October 15, 1987 12:12 AM
Thanks for the reply. I have a feeling that the problem is embedded in the source code. They're not setting up for the current dir but are assuming everyone is using floppies. Hope they're reading this. I left a message on their bbs. Maybe in PopCLI IV?
#Popcli III Message #89041
From: robert buchwald The Amiga Forum · Tool Box October 14, 1987 11:11 AM
Does anyone know how to get PopCLI III to default to the current directory? I amexecuting it in my startup off a hard drive, and whenever I pop a new CLI, the default dir is df0:! I even tried executing it after boot up from the hard drive and it…
AM-22 Message #79562
From: robert buchwald The Amiga Forum · Hardware August 8, 1987 9:19 AM
I seem to be having some problems with my hard drive. I am hoping you can help me. I backed up all the data with the intent of doing a low level format. The first time I ran the SCSI format, I had to bump the cylinders down to 647…
#ARC challenge! Message #43917
From: robert buchwald The Amiga Forum · Programming December 15, 1986 6:17 PM
Alas, I sold my 8-bit stuff to get my ST. Otherwise, ACTION would have been my next move. I'm going to buy the latest version of Lattice and get cranking. You don't happen to know the latest version number do you? Bob
#ARC challenge! Message #43916
From: robert buchwald The Amiga Forum · Programming December 15, 1986 6:15 PM
That's what I like to hear, Larry. If it picks up like the 64 did, then we'll see tons of products. Please use Bob, not Robert. Regards, Bob
#43258 OnLine! and 1.2 Message #43350
From: robert buchwald The Amiga Forum · Telecommunications December 11, 1986 7:00 PM
I assume by using setmap USA0 in your startup, that your problems were solved? Micro Systems tells me that as soon as they finish updating Analyze!, that OnLine! is next. -Bob
#43137 #ARC challenge! Message #43349
From: robert buchwald The Amiga Forum · Programming December 11, 1986 6:57 PM
Now if only the third party support picks up, then nobody will be able to ignore it. I am tired of ported over programs or the same releases for the Amiga and the ST. Can't wait to see some uniqueness. Once the machine and it's users become one, we should…
#43092 #ARC challenge! Message #43348
From: robert buchwald The Amiga Forum · Programming December 11, 1986 6:53 PM
Thanks for the advice, Don. I don't need to spend all that money for Aztec if I am just learning. Besides, compared to the 8-bit Atari, I feel like I am light years away from learning the complexities of this beast. Since I will be only a cottage programmer, I…

From: robert buchwald The Amiga Forum · Programming December 9, 1986 6:32 PM
Larry, as a former 8-bit Atari person, it didn't take me long to see the advantages of Jay's chips. I only bought the ST as a safety valve in case CBM went down the tubes. Thanks for the reply, Bob
#42722- #ARC challenge! Message #43034
From: robert buchwald The Amiga Forum · Programming December 9, 1986 6:29 PM
I agree with you, Don, I much prefer a CLI environment also. I just thought some of the more inexperienced users may benefit from a WB oriented ARC driver. I myself have a long way to go in learning this system. I still have to learn C, as well as…
OnLine! and 1.2 Message #41764
From: robert buchwald The Amiga Forum · Telecommunications December 2, 1986 5:29 PM
I am fortunate enough to have been one of the first purchasers of the new A5210 Amiga Enhancer Software; ie: Version 1.2. For those of you who use OnLine! with this version, you will discover that the VT emulation modes don't work properly because the keyboard map is different. Use…

Thanks Steve. As long as I'm sending you this message, I would like to ask a favor of you. As an owner of a 130XE also, I have yet to receive any word from Batteries Included concerning the Paperclip 130 update. I sent in my registration form the same day…
