"I've been using a Supra 144LC for six months now, with my 2000. Absolutely no problems at 14400 hookup. " What I am having problems with is connecting to 28.8 modems. When negotioating beginns bothe my 14.4 and the 28.8 do a lot of "talking" but nothing comes out of…
"I'm not being paranoid, but caution is the best policy. " I think I agree with you. I won't do anything to my HD until I get the real 3.1 upgrade. However, at $120 it will have to wait.
#New Filesystem
Message #152990
I uploaded a file called: "ffs31.lha" and here is what the docs say: "This new Fastfilesystem and HDToolbox are pre-releases of Workbench 3.1 from Commodore. There are a few applications, such as the new Studio 16 digital audio editing system that need _really_, _really_ fast file transfers, so even though…
#144LC and Amiga
Message #152969
For several weeks now I have been trying to make my 144LC work properly, but to no avail. What I will probably do is either try to sell it and get a Sportster or send it back to Supra. Are USRobotics sportster's better than 144LC? I heard that instead of…
"Try sending Cmail to Supra at 76004,565" Ok, thanx. I will do that
I left them a message there 2 days ago, but still no reply

GoldED and AGA
Message #148342
I just downloaded a demo of GoldED. Its a great editor. What strikes me the most is its speed. Scrolling is very fast. I opened it on my 256 color workbench (I have A1200 with SVGA monitor) in Productivity mode and what I expected to see was a very sluggish…
Lately there have been speculations about Samsung buying Amiga technology. I think it is a possibility, but I think that its not Samsung who is buying Amiga, its not even Philips. My feeling is that Hitachi is buying the technology. How did I come to this conclusion?, simple! Have you…
I just had a thought. If Commodore was indeed working on AAA chipset and so called A5000, they were probably thinking of puting a PCI bus on it. As far as I know PCI was developed by Intel, so if Commodore was working with the PCI bus didn't they have…
"probably a difference in the firmware revision on the Connor circuit board." is there anyway to change that or will my HD always be at the speed it is now.
A1200 HD problem
Message #137259
I recently go a new Hard Drive for my A1200. Its a 2.5 inch 85 meg Conner. Disk speed in SysInfo 3.23 gives me only 730 kb/sec, while my friend is getting 1400 kb/sec.(I think he also has a Conner). Why is the difference so great? Is there anything I…
I use the new ViewSonic 15. Super 72 requires 24 Khz sygnal and my monitor can't display that. Well I guess I am pretty much happy with 640×480. I use FinalWriter and it lets me select any monitor thats in my devs drawer. ( I can't wait until the AAA…
#Non-Interlace AGA
Message #135981
I have an a1200 with 030 in it and its great. But when it comes to word processing some things are missing. Greater non-interlaced resolution would be welcomed. Are there video drivers available for Amiga AGA to display lets say 800×600 in non interlaced resolution. I tryed Moned3a to increase…
#Monitor for AGA
Message #135310
I am in the proscess of purchasing a monitor for my AGA machine. I am interested in a flat screen monitor that could suport all amigamodes 15khz and up. (14 or 15 inch size) What would be the best choice?
Memory Speed
Message #76126
I jus got an 8 meg 60ns simm modual for my M1230XA. When I tryed to configure it using SetXA program it showed minimum access cycles for the RAM of 3. I used that that but after checking my performance using AIBB6.5 it turned out to be no different from…

Hey, thanks. I will track it down! I hope it will work with my board.
Yes, that sounds like a good idea. However I checked the pirces for the 2×32 simms (8 meg) and they are around $410. (thats pretty expensive) If there is nothing that will allow me to increase that # of memory slots on my M1230XA I will try to sell my…
M1230XA memory slot
Message #73314
I have M1230XA board in my A1200. Its an excellent board, but the only problem is that after I added 4 meg simm to it I can not have any more 32 bit memory on it because it only hase 1 memory slot. I know I could add a bigger…
Yes. 4 megs of fast ram.
A1200 and 020
Message #124883
I own an 030 accelerator board on my A1200. The 020 seems to be siting there doing nothing. Is there anyway 020 could be used to accelerate graphics or operating system? (It would be pretty nice)
SVGA and A1200
Message #124635
Ever since I bought my A1200 I have been using it with SVGA monitor. I was happy with quality but DoubleNTSC or Multyscan is just too slow when I use more than 32 colors on screen. Are there any graphyc accelera tors for A1200? Is there any whay I could…
CD32 vs. Jaguar
Message #123606
Can someone please give me an honest comparison between CD32 and Jaguar? I am a big fan of Amiaga (especialy my 1200) but with all those roomers about Jaguar going around I feel a little lost.
Thanks for all that info. I will probably start saving for an 060 now.
So, when is 68060 supposed to come out? And will I be able to istall it in my A1200 (heat problems?) And by the way is the 150 pin slot on a1200 a 16 bit or true 32 bit?
Ok, thanks. So basecly the AGA chipset can not work with PowerPC?
Hmm, what about new macs that currently have 68040, but are PowerPC ready? My friend told me that power PC chip will be installed through logic board and that it will run both Mac and PC software.
#PowerPC
Message #121362
Here is a very simple question (maybe) Will it be possible to use the new power PC processor in A1200 and A4000?
HD partitioning
Message #120363
I need to reformat my 84 meg Conner IDE hd on my A1200. Can anyone tell me the best partition settigns: File system, max transf, etc. I also have an o30 accelerator. I know that performens of the Drive depends a lot on settings so, I guess you know what…
ImageFX render
Message #35545
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to work in 12, 15, or 16 bit color on ImageFX 1.5? I have big problems with rendering 256 color images. that I create in DpaintIV. I believe its probably because ImageFX is fully 24 bit. (Please help! ImageFX is a great…
Wolf, desregard my earlier reply, my problem was that I was using font shop with the canonBJ-EC driver. I set my switch 12 to BJ10 mode and used BJ200 driver with font shop. Everything worked fine. So, when is the new version of the canon drivers gonna be uploaded? (grin).
I have tried that, it didn't work. Then I set my switch 12 to on (epson emulation) and used canonBJ-EC and it still had problems. It could be ProWrite. Any more suggestions?
The images I was using were 768×482 color HAM8. I was saving them to the HD. I was rendering 30 frames. I set the rendering mode to hires Ham8. I hope this will help you. Thanks.
#ImageFX
Message #63828
I jsut got ImageFX but when I tryed to render a morph animation in Cinemorph it said that there is not enough memory. I have an A1200 with 4 megs of fast 2 megs of chip and A1230XA. My dealer told me that I j\should be able to do it…
CanonBJ200
Message #113043
I just got CanonBj-200 printer and I also downloade drivers for it from printer llibrary in amigasection. I used the font-shop to download a font to my printer, but when I printed a document (ProWrite3.3) it used a different font. I tryed a lot of stuff, but no matter what…
Any anymation up to 1/4 screen deltas playes fine. Anything beyond that slows down. For example: I just got SceeneryAnimator (great program by the way) and there I can make an animation of a moving landscape (ham8 354 S241) overscan) and play it back at about 25 to 30 fps.…
When the deltas are big my animatin slows down, then if the deltas in the animation decreas the anim speeds up again.
I have M1230XA from microbotics, runing at 40 MHZ. The max rate I got so far was about 35 on HAM 8 anims in 320 by 200 with an animation of 30 fr
Well, guess what? Your tips did help. I created a small animation in Dpaint in HAM8 320 by 400 (40 frames) It has a locked backround (from Scenery Animator) and a an object (plane) moving across the screen. I than converted the animation using Viewtek1.05 into Anim7 mode. When I…
What kind of speed are you getting on Anim7 ham8 anims? I have A1200 with an accelerator (030) and 4 megs of fast. I made few animations in Dpaint (AGA) in ham8 mode (640 by 400) and converted them to anim7 mode. The speed I got was real slow, about…
Is ViewTek 1.05 on this board? I can't find it (if it is here)?
#Anim7 or Anim8
Message #33978
Can anyone tell me if Anim-8 is considerably faster than anim-7? I have pro blems with the speed of my animations in anim-7 mode.
Ok, I will try that. Thanks.
Ok, I'll try to find that. Are those PD's?
#Conner HD
Message #108082
This is a question for A1200 users who have a hard drive. I just got a new 84 meg HD (conner) I used SysInfo 3.22 to check out the speed. It gave me 730 000 bytes/sec. Seams slow to me. Should I get a different HD?
Hehe, well too bad its a joke, i was hoping it was true. Oh well. It sounds good though.
