>Does anyone have, or know where I can get, a CREDIT CARD READER? I've called You can usually find plenty of credit card readers, bar code card readers and wands, etc. in any catalog of supplies for retailers. I'm sure I still have some around our store. You're biggest problem…

Thanks, but I was replying to another user. I have both a CBM2002 (functionally the same as the 1080 & 1084) and my Mitsubishi AUM1349 (model just before they put the Diamond Scan name on it). Both work well on the Amiga. We were trying to figure out what other…

Well, I appologize, I was wrong. Those neat Amazing CM61428 monitors I have at the store won't do the 15Khz needed for the standard Amiga modes. I was really surprised at that… oh well. Will have to get the specs on their MS models… I think those are true multisyncs…

> From what I understand, the new SVGA multiscans do NOT scan down to 15 KHZ I'll check ours when I get into the store later today and let everyone know. Of course, if ours does, that doesn't necessarily mean that all the other SVGA MultiScanning monitors will.

Thanks Rick, (I feel like I'm talking to myself here! Guess I'll have to wander over that way and check it out.

>How did you know which traces to cut/change? I wormed it out of one of the techs in town who had done a bunch of them. He showed me on the QT as his boss had layed down the law on orders for CBM. There used to be some files…

Sorry, but the NI version isn't available yet. Last I heard, the crt's were still on a container ship somewhere out in the Pacific. Will take a couple of months before they get them to us in the form of monitors. As to the specs, I don't know. But it…

>Whap! changes the standard settings much like TapCIS. Thanks for the quick comeback Steve. My run at Whap! will have to wait then (for previously explained reasons). I just talked to the folks at ABS (the holders of the corporate account I'm on) and no one knows if the paperwork…

>Whap! does need "special" settings but I don't believe that they are different from what TapCIS likes… the prompt character is different but since Whap! Thanks Bill, as you noticed I'm not using TapCIS yet, but Navigator on the Mac (BTW, it's a great program, no bugs, easy to setup…

Dave, Did CBM give any reason as to why they don't support it? When I couldn't find a dealer who would do my A500 (and they couldn't give a reason other than CBM would yank their dealership) I did it myself. After all, the board is out of warranty. Took…
#11543- #Amiga – VGA monitor Message #11941
From: Rick Cross Amiga Tech Forum · Forum Business/Help July 9, 1991 3:53 AM
Get a multisync. I believe you need it for the Flicker Fixer to work, and for the new modes of the ECS. But all this aside, there's little price difference anyway. Our standard monitor (I manage/own a computer store) is an Aamazing SVGA multisync, 14", tilt swivel stand, .28 mm…

>Download the file WHAP19E.LZH from library 17 in AmigaUser! It contains the I'm currently running Navigator on my Mac Plus for automated access. Does Whap use standard settings, or does it need to change my settings like TapCis does? The reason I ask is that I'm on a business account,…
