Message #28876
Can someone please post the correct README file that should have been in the 1.01 update. Many thanks.
1.01 UPDATED README
Message #28639
Someone from the SuperBase people said they were going to post the correct readme.txt file for 1.01. Has this be done. I still don't know what new features and commands have been added to the new update. Thanks.
Ben, I get 73K/sec reads and 30K/sec writes with the 2090 and a ST-251 40Meg which is faster, and DMA. I heard that someone is beta testing the new FFS with the same setup as mine and is getting about 300K/sec. I was also told that CBM is working on…
A difference should be pointed out about the Mono?? Monitor that CBM showed at Comdex, and other hi-res mono monitors for the MAC. Not only the image was very sharp BUT it also shows 4 shades of gray which is a GREAT difference from those large Mac monitors (which are…
Believe it or not I read every single magazine for the ST just to look at the competition, and the ST columns in CS either are on the same time frame or AHEAD of it. After I read the August issue and the review (what review really, John Anderson and…
Ted, My comment was specific to the point of Comdex coverage. Why should the Amiga not be included in that. I don't know who made the decision but it was the wrong one and quite misleading. The title of the article was: Spring Comdex 87: THE SAME, ONLY MORE SO.…

Message #82046
Yeah thats the guy!! John Anderson from Computer Shopper. He even does the column on Atari for Family Computing. He is definitely pro Atari and anti-Commodore. He also used to do a column in Creative Computing and was the one that suggested that Atari go out and buy this glorious…

Message #81882
First of all I would like to ask the Sysops (Don, Steve, Larry) to check with the guys at OLT for biased reporting. They have already put up 2 (TWO!) reports for Atari (one on their earnings and one on the release of the Mega-ripoff ST) and I freaked today…

Ron, I know people, that paid for what others got for free. For some strange reason these people made their decision to purchase from other members that heard good things from CIS and various bbs sources and had no access to these services. Ed knows which people to please the…
Greg, Since I don't know you, it means nothing to me that you are a consulting engineer. I've seen plenty with Phds at hand that didn't know from color code to designing a digital/analog circuit without the Master Circuits Book. I still want you to try the T/S cable with…
Vic, Both messages are at #76899 and #76900. I just repost them. After I read your message I thought that I needed to repost one of them and now I have to repost both. Sorry for the problem. Regards, Bill. PS. I am very sorry for the people that will…
b. As far as editing your startup-sequence. Two programs for TSaver in the DLs prove that you are wrong. c. If a program (copy protected or not) wants to use the printer, you better be able to copy your printer driver to it. Which means that all programs that print,…
Greg, First of all I would like to tell you that this PART 1 OF 36 (just kidding). Max lines per message are something like 36 or so, so don't waste members money on headers. I'll try to sum up in two messages. 1) Cheap case is a case with…
Yes, Larry! And tell him that my check is in the mail. Excellent job. I can't believe I missed it. I still think, you guys should be able to come up with a few programs that are used in a daily basis. If you do, remember to update it with…
Don, After downloading the file that Larry suggested (Funckeys in DL9), I wonder if it would be worth doing a 'must have' list, of the most used programs from the Data libraries. I mean, a real MUST! HAVE! list. Maybe 10 prg at max. I don't see how I could…
Don, I know for a fact that 90% of the A-Time out there have the 58321-AA chip. Some of the first ones had the provision for either the original OKI 58321 with external pot and crystal, or the 58321 series with on-board pot and crystal (so that they will not…
Larry, Don has it right on the money. The cable I bought from Radio Shack was a standard modular handset cord. The non standard issue, is that the cable! from Timesaver is wired 180 degrees out of phase to the connectors and since power and ground pins are at 1…
#Timesaver it ain't
Message #76703
For the command history and macro keys of timesaver all I can say is that conman and setkey will do a by far better job and they are for free. With timesaver you loose all your cursor preference settings and even the auto repeat function of the keyboard. Setkey or…
Timesaver it ain't
Message #76702
You already heard gripes about the real time clock of Timesaver. There are already 2 programs in the DL to try and remedy that, but there is no remedy. Since there is no interaction from the Amiga the Tsaver is playing the cards. The problem is that the Timesaver sends…
Timesaver it ain't
Message #76701
The manual due to the way is packaged and written is one of the hardest to read. Mine was even stapled inside out. Well, even though the picture in the manual shows that you should be able to use the Timesaver with Genlock, the cable was so short that it…
Timesaver it ain't
Message #76699
What follows is not a review but my own thoughts after spending more than a month with a product from Cltd called Timesaver. The only reason for bringing this message to the forum is to save time, money and aggravation to any interesting forum members. If you are not one…
Chris, Software should have some control of the hardware and the point is that with Timesaver it does not. If you were here when Cltd announced the Timesaver they said that there whould be some interaction from the main box to the keyboard, so you could save your macros on…
I have a message captured from Usenet that explains how to add a second internal drive and also how to add an extra 512k to the 1Meg board of the 2000 (what those jumpers really mean). I uploaded for you in the hardware library so you can get it. I…

TO ALL HARDWARE HACKERS!! The latest Jameco flyer (a Belmont, CA based co.) has some new interesting products for the Amiga market. They now carry the complete 68xxx family of processors. Here are the prices : 68010L10 $49.95 68020RC12B $199.95 68881RC12A $199.95 Now as I see it the combo of…

Its a straight rgb TTL (you actually mix the 3 to get the shades) hook up with the VSYNC signal inverted. Don or Larry could point you to the file name at the Hardware DL that has the information on how to hook up a monochrome monitor to the Amiga.…

It sure does David. I know 4 of my friends with A1000 that will be trading them in for the 2000 + the bridge card. They are all engineers and for engineering applications you can't beat PC compatibility. They were thinking about the sidecar but an expansion chassis plus sidecar…
It is Larry, but you got to remember that both the A-Time and Digiview fit above the genlock hole so you will have to compare them from that point on. Regards Bill!!

# a2000 trade-in
Message #71207
Larry, I remember setting Digiview head to head with the parallel port and the A2000 connector was about 2/16'' higher than the digiview one. So, it should be about 9/16'' or more, which is plenty for both. Of course all we need to really find out is a 2000!! (C-A…
Call 1-800-982-3232. Ask for David Lahti. Regards.
Bill, You got it!!!! I agree with you 1000%. I can only hope that everyone is reading this thread and we won't have any more of these. Lets just all devote our time to make the Amiga the BEST COMPUTER THERE IS!!! (yeahh,clap,clap,mrmrmr,clap,yeah) millions are listening. 😎 Regards.
Brian, Don't make me change my opinion about you and your writings. (I am against copy protection though). If you are joking ok, but if you are not then because I feel am talking to a little kid that just wants to play with screws (go ahead make my day…
Mike, I wish it was true what you are saying, but its not!! Maybe you have missed some messages (you normaly will if you don't read all messages every 2-3 days as the scroll rate is very fast). As far as the Xebec drive is concerned thats my preference. I…
Ron, I can say the same thing about my Starboard, my Xebec drive and my A-Time. They all are working 24 hr a day without any problems. On the other hand I heard of problems with these products as I heard from Cltd products. (Specially those Cltd ram cards). But…
Ron, Microbotics never collected money and shipped no product, Xebec never collected money and shipped no product, ASDG, Supra, ASD, Comspec and others the same. The only company that has done this was Technisoft and they have cleared their problems also. So I think is you that is NOT giving…
(Continued….) If you are talking about Amiga products then look at Starboard. Look at Xebec. These are by far the best possible combination of ram/clock/68881/parity/SCSI/fast/hard disk combo in the market right now. Look at the stream lines of Starboard and look at Cltd card. Its night and day. 6 screws…
Ron, Ed has NO!!! (and that is NO!!!) right to stretch any rules for ANY!!! reason what-so-ever. What is this talk about no complains for Cltd products. Just go back and read some messages. 'Cltd ram card has wait states', 'Cltd ram card does not work with Starboard', 'Cltd ram…

#Xebec drives
Message #59277
Michael, May I suggest to you a very good reference on hard drives on the latest issue of IEEE Spectrum (should be in your local library or university). That should open your eyes as I think that you are complete in the dark as far as hard drives. The 15…
Xebec Drives
Message #59157
Aside from the previous message the Xebec hard drive can be expanded internally to 2 Megabytes of FAST RAM!! with an optional piggy back board. (Its even in the Amigaworld). By the way the Xebec Drive works without any problems with the StarBoard card from Microbotics unlike some other Hard…

Ron, If you think is in your best interest for companies to go under then I don't really think you are here for the best of the Amiga comunity. Reading from your comments on how you've been criticizing Commodore for their Sisdecar and transformer all I can say is this:…
But I resent a company spokesman to talk against another company. I read messages from Xebec, Supra, Gold Disk and others, and never did anyone criticized or imortalize their or any other company. You know I still can get over the fact that I was not allowed to upgrade to…
First of all let me say that the only task Bill gave to me when he left was to log on and download the forum messages so that he could read them when he gets back. When I start reading the messages I downloaded, your tone of voice(or writting) for…
Bill, I don't really know if any manufacture can say that he has sold his product and never received any of it back for repair. Why don't you contact ASD and tell them about your problem, and maybe you will be supprised that Cltd is NOT!!! the only company offering…
