Way to go! The Amiga management may be dead, but the Amiga is still a great machine, and Imagine is still a great product. Thanks for letting people know that we're still around -Keir Hales- ..Happy Amiga owner
#AmigaDOS
Message #179196
I have one of the early A3000s with the "magic ROMS" that boot either AmigaDOS 1.3 or 2.1 from an image stored the on the hard drive. Does anyone know whether such an image for DOS 3.1 exists? I would prefer NOT to have to take out my magic ROMS…
new prices
Message #95473
I use this forum almost exclusively, and I'm wondering which is the best pricing plan to use. I can't see that forums are covered in the new standard plan. Are they? I only get on a couple of times a month, so if not then I think it's probably better…
486 vs 040
Message #30827
OK, so there's a lot of talk and hype about the 486, with no retaliation by Motorolla that I can see about the 040. When the 040 was first being advertised in amiga world they used to put comparisons with the 486, but this seemed to go out of style.…
Thanx for the input. I'm going to check out alladin today and go from there!

#amiga help
Message #12639
Fkey is an OS2 utility that allows you to program your function keys. The problem is that if you run a program that also uses the function keys fkey takes priority, and you cant use the program function keys. Does any one know of a way to enable fkey while…
WOW! Ask a simple question around here and open up a can of worms who themselves are in a heated debate, spurred by slef confidence. Ahh, the joys of an active BBS. Thznx for all the input, it is obvious that the matter is more complicated than I thought and…
#floating point questions
Message #26788
My turbo silver disk has a normal version and an FP version, the latter of which crashes the machine if it can't find a FP. I want to know in general whether calculations are automatically directed to the FP when possible, or does the FP lie dormant in programs that…
