I guess I have lo density drives. I got it working with J301 jumped. I appreciate the help. —Mike
That did it! I did not have the twisted cable. Thanx! —Mike
I did what you said to do and now it onl;y recognizes DF0. I was going to try to put the jumper back on J301 but the jumper broke, and it was the only one I had. I'm beginning to hate this. —Mike
I don't know if it's high density; they're both Chinon FB-354s, both came standard with an A2000 (one each). They have the jumper config you mentioned, so I'll give it a try and let you know. —Mike
I put a jumper on J301, but it is still screwy. If I only have one of the two drives connected to the multipin connector (either drive on either of the two connectors), that drive works fine (as df0:). When both are plugged in neither work. —Mike
#2nd Int Floppy
Message #61163
I'm trying to take an internal floppy from a dead A2000 and make it a second internal floppy (DF1:) for my A2500. What do I need to do to make it work? Thanx! —Mike
Jonathan, I'm sorry but we don't make the product called LeatherNeck. You might try looking up the title in Amiazing Computing's Buyers Guide to find out who does. If you don't have a buyer's guide let me know and I'll look it up for you. Philip Moody, Customer Support, MicroIllusions.
Our company is currently developing CD-I titles for Philips Interactive Media. What kind of information are you looking for? I have noticed that CD-I people are scarce on the net. I do not know of any CD-ROMs compatible with the XA specs yet but the Philips CD-I machine will be…

If you want S-VHS quality, you nedd an S-VHS genlock. Some convert the incoming video to composite, do the genlock magic, then reconvert back to super. It works, but is not as good as pure super. Neriki makes an external ganlock with S-VHS also, for about the same price as…

Great! I'll mail out the upgrade Monday. —Mike
Pretty neat. Yes, I would be willing to send the latest EDLP in return for a screen credit. I've worked on literally dozens of feature films, but only got personal credit on John Carpenter's "Prince of Darkness". I did some graphics programming on the Amiga for it, and they showed…
If he has EDLP version less than 3.20, then he might run into some problems with AmiLink. AmiLink uses (or used) ARexx to communicate with EDLP, and there were some bugs. I've fixed what I hope are all of the ARexx bugs. I'd really like to know if he has…
By the way, what are the films you used EDLP on? —Mike
MicroIllusions still handles EDLP, sort of. When they get a call for the update, they refer the customer to me. What I will do is email you the addendum to the manual that describes the additional features and bug fixes in version 3.27, which is what it is up to.…
I've considered the project for about three years now. I haven't found a publisher willing to invest in it, and I'm too broke. Check out "PicBase" somewhere in the libs here; it was to be a story-board front-end for EDLP. Also, EDLP has secret control-key commands that will control a…
If it is "Edit Decision List Processor", then it is mine. It would not surprise me that he would have troubles, since I have not updated AmiLink's version for many moons, although I've updated the authorized buyers. —Mike
Sorry to hear about that. Seems to be a lot of it going around these days. AmiLink used to be shipped with my edit list program (EDLP). They didn't pay me for it. I believe they have since copied, er, come up with their own. Ain't the Amiga software business…
PicBase is like ImageFinder. I wrote it long before I heard of ImageFinder. It does some things IF doesn't, like actually moving, deleting and copying the files, but doesn't do some things IF does. I've been getting a fairly good response (in shareware terms), so will probably be adding the…
Hi Dave! It's going OK. Neriki's just pubbed my latest effort: Video Tools On Tap. How and what are you doing thses days? —Mike
I don't know if you're pulling my leg or not, but I've done "Transport Controller", "EDLP: Edit Decision List Processor", "TCRG: Time Code Reader Generator" for MicroIllusions, and "VTOT: Video Tools On Tap" for Neriki. Only the last (and latest) product is of use to non-video pros and amateurs. You…
Not at all! I figure 4 Amigas is enough. This is all spare equipment. It *does* mean that I haven't made much money by programming the Amiga. —Mike

#DCTV Library
Message #13109

Paul the upgrade offer is still in affect. Also, we are completing our first Music-Xtras disk and we will be sending out ordering information as soon as the disks ar in stock and ready to be shipped. Hope to hear from you soon. Philip Moody, Customer Support, MicroIllusions.
The edit system is from RGB Video, the rest of the stuff is published by MicroIllusions. Except for the edit system, I offer deep discounts if ordered from me. I won't be in my office during the day this week for phone calls. Email me your address and I'll send…
On number 2, the reason is that the Amiga RGB video out, and any genlock video out are going to be out of (horizontal) phase. Check your preferences. You'll prolly find that the display is shifted far to the right. Center the prefs, and the video output will be centered…
There is also a pro editing system for the Amiga that, besides controlling up to 31 external devices, such as VCRs, VTRs, switchers & audio mixers, can also control the Toaster. It also does single-frame recording. There is also a SMPTE time code reader for logging tapes (etc.), and an…

Jon, I'd lime to know too. When you find out, please post the answer here. I only have the Amiga version too. The Notebook data files are not ASCII either. —Mike
Bill, Thanx for the info, but that's more than I paid for the BB. —Mike
What is the price of the XL 50? I don't want to waste, err spend much money for the MSDOS side; I use it only for PrintShop and Word (my wife uses Word at work). —Mike
Thanx for the info. —Mike
Oh well. Thanx for the info. —Mike
Ah well. Thanx for the info. —Mike
Bridgeboard HD Access
Message #10478
