Another good book that I have (not Amiga-specific, though) is "High Resolutioon Computer Graphics Using C" by Ian Angell. It develops a set of primitives that are then used to develop higher-end applications. I discussed this book sometime back on the Graphics Developers forums with some of the POV-Ray guys,…
Hi Dan; Maybe we can work out a deal here – I have the 2.1 ROM and disks, but Grapevine never sent me the manuals. I've really wanted the manuals off and on for the last 8 months or so, so if we can get Michael to ship them separately,…
DonovaN: Do you still have the software? I'm possibly interested in all but the Secretary program. One question – what version is Phasar? Duane
#GVP Simms
Message #183350
Gary: Are the GVP SIMM's still available? I'm possibly in dire need for some. Thanks, Duane.
Garry: Is the 2000 still available? If so, what OS/motherboard rev/Agnus/Chip RAM configuration does it have? Duane.
Betty: If you're interested in a 2091, I have one left. It has 2MB of RAM, and I would even be willing to throw in the original 40MB or 52 MB Quantum drive (you'll have to give me a day or so to copy all of the stuff off of…
Hi Hans: If the Heinrich's aren't interested in your dust collector, I might be interested. Let me know if you still have it available. Thanks, Duane.
Jim; I'll second that – I've been waiting for one for a long time (and even considering coding one myself – not that I don't already have enough stuff to do )
John: I was one of those who purchased the 2MB Agnes expansion from Tom. Plainly stated, it works! Installation was a breeze (if you can turn a screwdriver), although it's nice to have a chip puller for the old Agnes. I encountered no compatibility problems in timing, software, operation, or…
Steve; I have a ROM switcher that I have recently (last 4 months or so) purchased, then stopped using. In the course of working on my system trying to identify an elusive hardware bug (turned out to be a bad RAM chip, I hope) I ended up breaking off pin…
Would you be interested in selling the flicker fixer separately? I'd be interested in it if it works in the A2000 also. Thanks, Duane.
Wayne; Sorry to hear that you have experienced similar problems – makes me feel a little better in my self-diagnosis, though. Everyone who has replied has basically pointed to this as at least potentially the problem. I think a little re-configuring might be in order. Thanks, Duane.
Jim; Thanks for the tip. I have a local friend who has added HD expansion to his A500 using an old XT case. It seems to work for him – he runs his BBS off of it. I had never thought of doing it myself, though. Thanks again, Duane.
Thanks for the quick reply, John! My error on the chipset omission, I do have the ECS Denise. I am a little concerned about this, due to the potential need to replace the MB or the PS. I've seen the 300 W power supplies in the magazines (I believe they're…
We need informations
Message #167514
Based on what I've read (interviews and commentary in AC and AW, mainly), I second your haope and guess – it appears to me that Mr. Amor and his group have a much stronger interest in revitalizing the US market than the C= UK group. Besides, if the earlier posts…
#Power Supply Problems?
Message #167513
Hello fellow Amigans! I am having some severe problems with my (usually) trusty A2000HD, and the problems seem to be the kind that have probably been there for a while, but have grown considerably worse over a long period. I currently have a GVP 25 MHz '030 board (1 MB…
Dale, Please forgive me, but what are the specs on the 2620's? I've never really looked at them, only the 3rd party boards. How much memory, what is the clock speed, MMU/FPU on-board, etc. I'm not really interested in Unix (although I've considered it if I can find an inexpensive…
Fred: I wish I could provide a "good home" to your setup, however I already have a A2000HD with most of the software you have mentioned> I don't have an accelerator, however. Would you be willing to sell it separately? I'm highly interested in it. Thanks, Duane.

Amiga 2000s for sale
Message #140464
Tim: I am looking for an accelerator, HD, extra RAM (and possibly the memory board), as well as various and sundry other peripherals, etc. What do you have, and are you willing to piece it out?? Thanks, Duane
Rick: I'm interested in most fo the software. I already have AmigaVision, F/A-18, Battle Chess and IntroCAD, and am not really interested in the starter kit or Kind Words (unless it is either easier to use or more powerful than ProWrite – please reply). I am, however, interested in items…
I've been very impressed with the work done on seaQuest…I wish I had the time (and horsepower) to do that kind of work. Alas, keeping the family fed doesn't really allow me to develop those kinds of talents. Keep up the good work, guys! Duane.
If getting 2.1 is too important to pass up on (waiting for 3.1 could quickly turn one into Rip van Winkle given C= ability to provide 2.1), you might try calling Grapevine in New York. I got a 2.05 ROM from them back in about September (I think). The problem…
Jim, If I'm not mistaken, a 2500 was just a 2000 with the 2630 inside. Same machine, just hopped up (kinda like puttin' a Holley and cam in an old 289…sucker really jumped then!). Later, Duane.
Are you interested in separating the 2630 from the 2091? I already have (2) 2091's, probably don't need another one – I DO need some more horsepower (7.16 MHz 68000 just don't cut it anymore…even though it still outperforms my 33 MHz 486 Compaq at work in some graphics operations…).…
I trashed my hard drive a few months ago, and _didn't_ have a current backup to fall back on – believe me, it's an even greater pain than just restoring a backup. The one advantage is that I was forced to prune a lot of the garbage off my hard…
