Do you still have a KIM? Randy Brooks
John, Actually it wasn't our claim. A number of users have reported that drives that started showing bad blocks would respond to a very deep level of the Gov't Erase. I'm not conviced that a low level format shouldn't do the same thing. The govt erase writes alternating data paterns…

Mountain Dew
Message #142210
Black Coffee will do the same thing 😎 Randy Brooks New Horizons Software, Inc. Working on my second pot of coffee. (don't tell my doctor)
Dale, That was the impression that I got as well. I can think of at least one recent public instance where the lack of a 1099 caused public grief down the road, but that discussion doesn't really fit this forum. Even though my original message was facetious the fact is…
Unreported income? Randy Brooks Ducking and turning to run.
Steve, I'm confused here. Doesn't everyone just list additional income that was not covered on a 1099 with the rest of their income? Getting a 1099 just makes life a little easier 🙂 Randy Brooks
Brian, Check the wire lead that connects the LED to the motherboard and make sure that is secure. I have also had one machine that had a cold solder joint on one of the LED connections that came free after several cycles of opening up the machine to add cards.…
Dusty cobwebs!
Message #76099
Quite dusty. I haven't checked that area since I took over online duties from George and Charlie three years ago 🙂 Randy Brooks Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.
Dan, Give me a rundown of your setup again. My test ran right past the ~79MB point on the compare. I'll leave it going the rest of the day (I'm backing up across a doubletalk network) but once it starts reading the tenth track you can be pretty sure that…
Dan, Did you try the restore a second time? You may have a problem with termination or bus noise that is causing the problem. I just finished comparing 15 sessions spanning two tapes using equipment very much like yours without a problem. I'll backup my 300MB partition next and let…
Dan, I just finished my first test situation that I had hoped would duplicate your conditions and had no problems (I filled a 6150 and a 6250) I am afraid that my next test will require backing up a volume that is on slow network so I won't know more…
Dan, Are you using any tapes that were ever used on Unix systems without being bulk erased. The A3070 has a strange rom "Feature" that can cause tapes to be read in a different format than they are written. It manifests itself with a failure to recognise data past ~79M.…
Gerald, I have not posted a patch to the 6.01 to this forum yet. It only effects users with 68000 based machines. Randy Brooks Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.
Your upgrade was mailed out AirMail last week. It should arrive in the next couple of days. Randy Brooks Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.
Daniel, Your upgrade should have arrived yesterday. It definately should be there today. It's been in the mail a week today but the Post Office seems to think monday was a holiday. Randy Brooks Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.
Your upgrade was not lost though it was delayed somewhat. Yours was mailed last wednesday via first class mail, You should receive it today.
Quarterback is currently at 6.0.1
Austin was named after Stephen F. Austin generally held to be the Father of The Republic of Texas and an all around revered dude in these parts. It appears from your description that you were using the multiple backup macro correctly. I am inclined to think that there may be…
Thanks for the feedback Randy Brooks New Horizons Software, Inc.
I just looked at ours, and all 6 switches on the interface are off. Randy Brooks New Horizons Software, Inc.
Check out the contents of Library 10 here in AmigaUser for third party drivers for a specific printer. When downloading printer drivers check the age of the driver with newer drivers generally being preferable. Randy Brooks New Horizons Software, Inc.
If you are printing in the Normal or High Quality mode you would want to turn "Aspect Adjusted" off in Page Setup and choose a print density of 180×180. If you are printing in Draft or NLQ you need to turn "Aspect Adjusted" on. Randy Brooks New Horizons Software, Inc.
You can use the EpsonQ driver provided with Workbench to drive that printer. You also might want to check out some of the drivers in the libraries here on Compuserve which access the full 360X360 potential of that printer. Randy Brooks New Horizons Software, Inc.
Thanks for the report Wayne. We will check into this one and clarify the cross version compatibility issues. Randy Brooks Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.
Charles, While the scheme that you are using will not be necessary with the new 6.0 version it should work fine with the version of Quarterback that you are using. The main thing that you need to check is that the partition size is adaquate to hold the whole partition…
The only real proviso is that the drive support the mandatory scsi direct command set. Before you buy you could post a question regarding the specific drive in S/1 Central Coast and I'm quite sure that one of the forum members will have specifics as to how it works. Randy…
International owners of Quarterback 5.0 may update by email or fax by providing us with their credit card information (number and Expiration), a current shipping address as well as the registration number off of their present Quarterback. The upgrade price would be $40.00US including Air Mail Shipping, the upgrade for…
In addition to the answer that Gerald just gave you 4000 owners with Commodore SCSI controllers need to be aware that scsi.device is controlling the IDE bus and the 2091 or 4091 controller have a device name of 2nd.scsi.device. If you have any scsi drives with a RDB mounted on…
Jonathan, As with the 5.0 version we have provided a multiple backup macro. Macros still require AREXX. Randy Brooks Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.
We will try and get something posted shortly. Randy Brooks Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.
Thanks, Randy Brooks Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.
Fast Ram for buffering, Yes 6.0 does that. Multiple volume backups, Yes if you mean multiple tapes per volume. IQ 30 ++, ????? I'll get another notice out to you. Randy Brooks Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.
I've changed the database for you as well, Randy Brooks Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.
I've updated the database to reflect the changes and the river crossing. Randy Brooks Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.
I'll get another notice out to you today. Randy Brooks Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.
We sent the notice to Baltimore, Everything else was the same. It should have gotten there. Randy Brooks Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.
Oops :-0 Turning aside and blushing. Fixing the database as we speak (type). Randy Brooks Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.
Dom, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well, Randy Brooks Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.
Dom, I had hoped that SOMEBODY got an update notice:-) Randy Brooks Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.
Ron, It's on its way, Randy Brooks Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.
Chris, Consider it changed Randy Brooks Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.
Andy, Thanks for the report, Just to confirm your config are you running under 1.3 with Flow set to save icons? If this is the case the resulting defaults file will work correctly but the program goes south as you save settings. Turning off Save Icons will eliminate the crash…
Mel, I'll get your notice out and change your address. Randy Brooks Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.
Donovan, I am getting another upgrade notice out to you today. The Mailing house that we use seems to have some problems with our database from time to time. This time they lost a few addresses and couldn't explain which ones were likely to have been lost. BTW Congratulations on…
Gayle, Make sure that a High Density disk is in the drive before starting Quarterback (or choose a different restore source insert a HD disk and change back to floppies) Trackdisk will report the size of the media based on what it last saw. Your backup should test correctly if…
Hillary, We are indeed still in business, The number in Colorado was closed down almost three years ago when we moved the company down here to the "Third Coast" 🙂 For your information here is complete contact information on Central Coast Software. Phone (512) 328 6650 FAX (512) 328 1925…
Ron, We are currently shipping a 2.0.2 version of Quarterback Tools Deluxe. The patch that is in our library takes 2.0. to 2.0.1. The only problems that have been reported are related to the serialization routine that we have put in the initial startup. The primary cause of these problems…
Hillary, Enter your serial number in without a space after the period and it should work. The correct format would be NNN.XXXXX where NNN is the three digit version number and XXXXX the five digit serial number separated by a period. There should be no spaces in the resulting registration…
Brian, The only other person who has reported this kind of Problem found that his drive had been formatted with values for the number of tracks that did not match the values returned by HD toolbox when reading info directly from the drive. I believe that when he reformatted the…
Claudio, We support the outline font technology under AmigaDos 2.0 and later. The 1.3 version of the operating system did not have support for outline fonts included in it. What you can do is to create bitmaps for the screen font as well as a double sized font for ProWrite…
