Don, Thanks again. I'm not sure if it's good news or bad, that I thought of the same solution as CBM :). >>Steve.
#A500 & 2.04 roms
Message #174297
Don, I took the information you gave about the A500 and the 2.04 rom upgrade, and took a look at the machine. The board is a revision 5, and there is no jumper. Do I need to add the jumper? If not, do you have any other suggestions. Thanks. >>Steve.
Accelerator For sale
Message #92601
For Sale CSA Turbo Amiga 68020 Accelerator Board with MC68881 math co-processor. For A2000. I don't know the chip speed. Worked fine until I changed harddrive controllers. Includes only the original software disk – no manual. Asking $125.00. Please leave Email. Steve Carter CIS# 75766,3600r
Thanks Don. I got this machine as payment for services rendered. The person who I got it from thought the card was a 2090 and was surprised when it autobooted. The problem was, he only had a disk for the 2090 card. So… I guess I'll stop in at the…
Partitioning w/a 2091
Message #86421
Help!! I've have a 2091 harddrive controller card and an Seagate st251. I'd like to set it up with two partitions. The only software I have for the card is Prep. It asks for the last cylinder for the first partition, but never and additional partitions. How do I go…

#KickStart
Message #84609
Help!! I dug up my old 1000 for my son to use. After a little tinkering, it's up and running. Trouble is I can only find my original KickStart Disk. I'd like to make a copy of it, so he doesn't trash the only one we have, but I've forgotten…
Thanks Don, That was one of the combinations I tried. Resulting in not being able to read a formatted disk, and reaching the end of a format and getting a response about not being able to intitalize the disk. But at least the drive light came on :). >>Steve.
Well John, I certainly don't have any knowledge in the disk duplicating area, but I'd definately be interested a hack that would allow a 1.44 m disk to run on my Amiga. Do you suppose some information could be gleaned from the old file on how to make the 5…
Len: I sorta figured it was something like that. Thanks for the info. >> Steve.
#1.44 MB FLOPPIES
Message #80680
Help!! I had a spur of the moment "great idea" when I ran across a good price on 3 1/2 inch floppy drives. Only thing is, their 1.44mb drives, made by Samsung (model SFD-321D). My 2000's DF0: died, and I'm looking to replace it. Does anyone know if the Samsung…

Steve, Thanks for the address. It is different from the one I found, so I'll give them a call. I might just take you up on your offer for further help. >>Steve.
Steve, Is your version produced by EaseWare? I ask this, because I found their phone number and address in an old Amazing Computing Review issue and the number is disconnected. I'm hopeing someone else is distributing it. So, if you have any other information, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, >Steve.
Michael, Thanks for the info. I too recall the complimentary reviews, but haven't seen it for awhile. I'll give the Mailorder outfits a try. >>Steve.
#CAD/3d House modeling
Message #22722
Hello All: I'm looking for some CAD or 3d modeling software that would be suitable for design an addition and remodel of my home. I'd like to be able to see what the different options we have look like with a 3d model. I recall a couple or three years…
Keith: I did try a script without a WAIT "Connect" command. Just had it print some text as you suggested, with no success. Also, I did with and without the Auto-dialer. If you don't no of anything else I might be doing wrong, I give your suggetions a try. Thanks…
#Access!
Message #72213
Keith: I have finally decided to give up on Diga! as "my" communications software and downloaded Access! v1.42 to check it out. I really like the look and feel, but need the Scripts. I have tried unsuccessfully to have a script 'pick up' by waiting for "Connect". I have added…
Don, Got the message and I picked up one those little rs232 breakout "boxes" from Radio Shack and used your pin configurations and … it worked. Thanks much!! >>Steve.
Don, Gee, thanks a lot, that was indeed quick, and quick was what I needed. My Wife is going to be using the 1000 for transcription and she is not exactly pleased about not being able to print from it. I've been working on this problem for a few days…
#Printer Cable Problems
Message #60160
Help! I have a 1000 and a 2000, and I'm attempting to connect them to one printer. (the printer used to be dedicated to the 1000). I got a data switch box and hooked the printer and the 2000 up, and they work fine. When I got to the 1000,…

Don, It turns out I'm having trouble with the drive, it takes a super long time to validate upon booting. The drive I'm using on my 1000 is a t rodime, so I've gone ahead an bought a Supra Wordsync controller card. This way I can boot off my rodime…
Pat; I called supra and got pretty much the same info. Now I just have to decide if worth fooling with this 2090 card or to buy a supra product. >steve.
Don; That many pages hunh? Ok I'll make the drive. Thanks again. >Steve.
Pat; Thanks for the information, I have a pretty good idea about what your're talking about. I did find out from Supra, that I'll need to reformat the drive, but I've still not been able to do even that.
Don, Thanks for the tip, however it'll be some time until I'm able to get to the closest dealer, the stores more than an hour away. That's why I tried the forum, besides I've received better info here than at that particular deal. >Steve.
#SCSI drive & 2090
Message #23517
I'm not sure this is the best place to post this, but I'm in need of some expert help. I just came into an amiga 2000 with a 2090 or a 2091 controller (it's auto booting), with a seagate st251 drive. I have connected the Supra SCSI drive I was…
#2090 & SCSI drives
Message #57186
HELP ! I just inherited an Amiga 2000 with either a 2090 or a 2091 drive controller (it's autobooting) and an Seagate ST 251 drive. I received no documentation or software for the card. I would like to use my Supra SCSI drives which I was using on my 1000.…
Don, You sound pretty convinced that the Supra product is better. Do you know of anyone using it yet? Also, not knowing how the Norton SI performance rating of 6.1 relates to the real world, how well (speedwise) does the ATonce work? Thanks for your help. >>SteveC
Eric, Thanks for you comments. I didn't realize the ATonce mulitasks. I thought it took over the Amiga. Are there provisions for moving data between the ATonce and Amigados? Also, this will be installed in an Amiga 500, do you suppose that would decrease the usefullness? >>SteveC
AT-Once
Message #36525
I am considering buying one of the IBM hardware emulators (the AT-Once or the Supra Product), and was looking for a few comments. How well do t they work, how fast, is one much better than the other? Maybe someone knows if they have been reviewed. Thanks for your help…
John, The problem is, I believe, that the DB25 port on the bridgeboard is configured for an Amiga drive, like the one that came with the Transformer, and not for just any old drive. I hope I'm wrong. >>Steve.

Sounds like your an expert on the subject. I was under the inpression that some postscipt printers had a setting, where by the printer would expect a postscript file, and using an MS-Dos machine and the copy to lpt1: routine, would get the job done. However I live in a…

Message #125350
Help. Haven't been able to download anything since the new forum software. I get to "name for your program?" enter a name, and bingo nothing. ONly repeated ctrl c's gets me to a forum prompt. Whats up? >>Steve.
Haven't been able to yet, but am actively looking. I take it you now of no program to make the transfer on the amiga. Sort of like the PCcopy and PCFormat utilities. >>Steve.
I thought about that, but the print shop is not to helpfull in that area. >>Steve.
