I've got it, Ben: "Make Irving Gould's Mother Wear Army Boots" oh, yeah….short. Sorry. tmm/Richard Cunningham
Lost Treasures of Infocom retails at 69.95…and out for the Amiga. 20 games included, including all the Zorks, Enchanter series, several of the mysteries, *HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE*, and more… It's 3000 and 2.04 compatible, and multi-tasks on the Workbench. It waits for you to type…these multi-tasking games. Just go away and…
You forget, Wayne, that Haig is on the board; that means no access to those "tools" for the opposition 🙂 Besides, if I had that much money, I would just buy Apple and sell the Amiga as an Apple 🙂 tmm/Richard Cunningham
Aiiieee! Wayne, I thought we were *FRIENDS*!!??? I don't WANT to be unemployed! Besides, I like selling Amigas… tmm/Richard Cunningham
Well, just drop up to my store again, sometime, Wayne 🙂 We got CDTV's. I had to harangue my DM, but we got 'em. Most successful store selling them in my district (North LA – Software Etc). Have one on demo constantly. tmm/Richard Cunningham
Yes, please leave more information. I could not get a Rodime 210 to work, either. But it's possible that myself or someone here could help you with info like drive name, size, model #, the unit ID you have selected, which terminators you have on/off, whether or not you're using…
#CES-goers?

Was anyone at CES? Was CBM there? Whassup in Amigaland? tmm/Richard Cunningham
#Amiga1000 to TV: How?
Message #45846
Hey, guys. I put my old Amiga 1000 together with a HD as a Christmas gift for my brother (to get him off my machine :). For the last couple of weeks, it's been hooked up to the CVBS on my 1084S, but I brought in a TV to run…
Amiga & The Miracle KYBD
Message #45105
I've SEEN the Amiga Miracle in action (the local Software Etc guy brought one out to the December user's group meeting :), and it's great! Personally, I prefer the Amiga version distinctly above the IBM version; it's very plug & play (plugs into serial port). The software is hard-drive installable,…
Thanks for the reply, Steve. It's nice to know the Syquest works, but this drive will be a replacement for the current Quantum50 in the 3000…same goes for the Wren (wrong size). I'll pass both on to Dan, though, so he can start cataloguing. What a nightmare this HD compatability…
Thanks, Michael. My first thought upon realizing that there WERE 3000&HD compatibility problems was that I'd just stick with Quantums. Unfortunately, Dan's distributors don't have Quantum 210's available right now and I really insist on supporting Dan after all he's done for me. Maybe I'll step back to the 105,…
#3rdparty 3000 harddrives
Message #43235
Many of you have read the thread where Dan Wolf explained that I was having a problem with a 210 meg Rodime SCSI drive. Well, the bottom line is, it doesn't work with the 3000. Dan has graciously offered to eat the drive and order me another one, but is,…
Even with a *FREE* DEAD HD box? Yes, a "Tiny Tiger" box that just didn't want to support the power requirements of a Priam 330Meg 5.25FH…I'll toss that in, too! 🙂 tmm/Richard Cunningham
Hey, Bob, trade that 1000 for it! 🙂 (Not to be rude 🙂 :0 :)))) (really, big grin on my face) tmm/Richard Cunningham
1 & 2. I haven't tried the whole machine at another location, just the drive & box. (Actually, just the drive, but since the problem happens here with or without box…). Besides. I've NEVER had any other problem like that on any of my five Ami systems (including the current…
Hhhhmmm. Close, Bob, but not quite close enough (he says sorta seriously). I mean, it's got those signatures on the inside cover…. But you're not out of the ballpark… tmm/Richard Cunningham
Help! HD 2/3000 problemo
Message #41205
Okay, you hardware gurus, you. I have an Amiga 3000/25/50 with 4m of zips installed, the 2 provided meg are in chip ram. I am TRYING to use a Rodime RO3000T 210meg drive with this machine. The drive is fine; it works on Dan Wolf's A2000 w/040 and TrumpcardPro superbly.…
A Piece of History
Message #40965
I have an Amiga 1000 for sale. This machine is *NOT* packed with goodies 🙂 One Amiga 1000, 256K. Internal drive has been replaced, and the replacement is currently poorly mounted. Will throw in the old drive. Keyboard, mouse, mousepad, powercables, system software, you know, the usual. The price? Best…
RocTec or MegaDrive HD?
Message #36608
Anyone have any experience with either the RocTec or MegaDrive Hard drive systems? A friend is looking at getting one or the other later this week, and asked for my recommendation. tmm/Richard Cunningham

Amiga Clearance!
Message #36150
In a much-needed consolidation and upgrade maneuver, I have the following Amiga equipment for sale: Amiga 500 A520 RF Modulator (for TV hookup) M501 Microbotics 512K memory expansion w/clock & battery (same as A501) MousePad, Mouse, System software (1.3 on disk, KS 1.2) Will throw in 5 random games from…
Well, Loyd, you're right. I wish you weren't, but you are. On the other hand, wouldn't you love to have a fantastic store that serves you well? tmm/Richard Cunningham
First step, Ethan, would be to ask to talk to the manager. Explain your concerns, and ask for the address of their district manager. Make it clear you intend to pursue to your satisfaction, and once you have the address, put your thoughts on paper and send them in. If…
That's an odd coincidence, Loyd. You see, about mid-December, a former employee from that location came into my store to see if he could get a job…I spent five minutes talking to him and went into "Dive! Dive! Dive!" mode. He set off a warning bell about every seventh word…
Hee, hee. Thanks, Wayne & Clint. Now let's see if we can get some positive action here. When our District Manager gets back from vacation next week, I will pass Wayne's complaint on directly to her. In the meantime, I will contact the manager at the SB store and do…
#A2630 crashing????!!???
Message #28426
Help! I am having a problem with a newly purchased A2630 board. It is GURUing at seemingly random intervals, sometimes even before it gets into the startup-sequence. Many gurus will fail or go wild and then go into another guru. I occasionally get pyrotechnics, and the only fairly consistent part…
>>but a floppy disk in a mailer makes for an expensive postal probe. Postal Probe? Sounds like a visit to the proctologist 🙂 tmm/Richard Cunningham Die and go to BBS Hell 🙂
Right now, Joe, I think Ben's on vacation visiting his in-laws. Don't know when he'll be back, or even if he might be calling from there. I'm such an inside scoop on his life…. Actually, I work in a Software, Etc store, and he popped in Monday night, much to…
Yeah, CDTV would work great for children's books: simple illustrations, oversized letters (large fonts), and perhaps even color-me pictures (re-usable), and multiple plot-break points. That's a great idea. Of course, I'm counting on a huge CD database of _Vista_ material. tmm/Richard Cunningham Die and go to BBS Hell 🙂

New Amiga??
Message #32219
I know that Software, Etc is selling through on the old Amiga 500 stock with the free offer of a 1200 baud modem and RF modulator to push it through. This is sponsored by Commodore. CBM indicated that they were "repackaging" the Amiga 500, and that this would get rid…
Ordering information, please? (re: C_ToolShed) (my ship hasn't even broken the compiler out of the box yet 🙂 tmm/Richard Cunningham Die and go to BBS Hell 🙂
I, too, found this month's Byte to be a welcome relief from their past. What *DIDN'T* I like? Jim Seymour's slam in the current PC Magazine…he talks about AutoDesk Animator, and says something to the effect of (ie I don't have the article in my hand) 'Animator is a good…

David to Michael
Message #28071
Hmm. I know that we got a call from Mike, and that we had a new shipping company. Didn't realize from what was said that it was for the stores. I think that, provided the new company is competent, the new setup will be a vast improvement. Out here we…
And, Bill, tell us, when will 1.2 hit the shelves through distribution? I was going to order WShell the week after Xmas…but want to wait if I can get the new version. tmm/Richard Cunningham
#Compres convert script
Message #80258
Mike? A quick question…are your BBS files stored with extensions indicating their format (ie .zoo, .arc, .lzh, .zip, .pak)? If so, I've got a script that will convert them. Uses AShell and Arp. I convert currently to ZOO for convenience (I find lharc too slow for normal use, but for…

No problem. Having your product on our shelves can only help us. RE: SIA Demo Disk. Will you announce it here, or should I glom a # from you to call to get one for the store, or what? tmm/Richard Cunningham

M.A.S.T. Problems
Message #80158
Crap! Glad I got my Hard Drive out of there in time. I had talked to Bill, and he is the one who made sure my drive got out of the repair shop. That's really too bad, as some of MAST's products are very nice (I've seen a fax of…

DBase compat Amigaware?
Message #80157
A comment on a comment…not only does SuperBase read in DBase files, but if you pick up CrossDOS ($30 retail), you can read IBM 3.5" disks directly from SuperBase. Absolutely transparent…. tmm/Richard Cunningham

Access! Registration?
Message #72791
Keith: In another thread (and, I think, another forum), somebody mentioned to somebody else (her great-aunt's father's hairdresser's plumber, I think 🙂 that that person should talk to you and try to get you to release your custom version of "AUX:" to shareware. I'm just being nosy, and wondering what…

#amiga-IBM data transfer
Message #71246
Richard, the program you want is CrossDOS. It installs seamlessly (well, pretty darn close) into the Amiga environment as a new device for each physical Amiga drive (say, mf0: for df0:, mf1: for df1: (or A: and B: if you're a real IBMer)), and then allows you to access them…
