WB1.3,Fax/Modem..
Message #64988
I tried to scan all other message prior to writing this but saw no specific answer…. I am planning to buy the SupraFaxModem 14.4K. I have a 2500/30 but am currently running WB1.3 by necessity. Has anyone had any problem with WB1.3, this modem, and speeds higher than 9600 bps?…
I have been a registered of AMAX and AMAX II. You can bet I will be online myself if I heard anything since ReadySoft will be letting its registered owners know oon as it is actually ready to ship.
After I purchased my used A2000 a year ago, I could not get my SuperGen exexternal genlock to boot up. It turned out that the a certain resistor was "blown" which outputs the the (I believe) the 12v charge out of the video port to the genlock. When the genlock…
#Proofing Amax
Message #42078
Margaret, Since both the ImageWriter II and the 1091i are 9-pin printers, the aspect ratio is very, very close. I had the 1091i in the early days of my AMAX ownership and found no difficulty other than the fact that the Pana. has no reverse feed. I had to purchase…
Font Enhancer Arrives
Message #11138
Hey you BT2 owners: If you haven't ordered your Font Enhancer yet, DO IT NOW!!! I received mine today and it works excellently!! As the proud owner of the entire Masterpiece font collection as well as a number of Gold Disk CG fonts (contain CG->bitmap converter), I can make myself…
John, I called GVP and "Stephanie" told me that there were demos expect expected for SCALA and my dealer doesn't know what I'm talking about… I'm interested also…. RS
Kronos, AII, Success!!
Message #17013
I am using ZTerm 0.8 from AMAX which I booted from a 12 meg partition on my hard disk with a Kronos 2000 card. I probably embarked on a tougher journey than I really needed to but I decided to use the re-partitioning as a good excuse to re-organized my…
Kronos & AMAX
Message #16955
I have just now installed the new PAL that was sent by Micro-Dyn for my Kronos "AMAX II" upgrade. I will complete my HD backup and then make about a 16 or 17 meg AMAX partition. If all goes well, you should hear from be around Thursday or Friday……… Rex…
No it's OACES, like Oasis……. Rex
Bill, Thanks a million! RSuba
John, Since we only have the _128K_ ROMS in AMAX, it would quite a trick to come up with color…. The 128K roms support only 2 colors, not exactly "color" in my book. You can indeed set up a partition but only on specific SCSI interfaces. The AMAX II+ is…
Bill, I just purchased an older version of AREXX. Can I send an upgrade payment with my warranty card to get the upgrade or have I already sent my card in? I can't seem to find it…. Rex Suba
Kronos and AMAX!
Message #16078
Just got my AMAX II driver software from Micro-Dyn and will soon get my AMAX II software upgrade from ReadySoft. If you have a Kronos and want that much-needed HD support, the software is indeed shipping and can be shipped UPS COD. You can contact Rick Estes at Micro-Dyn, P.O.…
John, Among the features that AMAX II now supports is the SetCPU (FASTROM) option for accelerators, hard disk support (from ReadySoft comes device drivers for GVP, Nexus, CBM interfaces. 3rd party makers Supra, IVS, and now Micro-Dyn [Kronos] provide files for their hd interfaces), Macintosh sound support, use of System…
DCTV
Message #5557
My DCTV and SuperGen can indeed be hooked up simultaneously but for the time being I cannot genlock DCTV graphics. In any case, I am extremely happy with the setup!!!! Rex Suba
I have worked with HAM-E and was quite unimpressed with the paint program and the amount of effort needed for use. Despite the current hardware concern, I find DCTV much more painless to use and just as powerful. Rex Suba, Tomodachi Video
Chris: my previous reply….. Rex Suba
I got the call from Rick Estes on Friday and the number for them is the same one on my disks: 316-265-2661. It seems that, perhaps, our colleagues here were a bit hasty…… Rex Suba
DCTV vs. Genlock
Message #5374
I just ordered DCTV and happened to at my local dealer to look at what I have ordered and it seems that, without a separate adapter, you can't use DCTV's output with even the SuperGen genlock from the same company! It's in the docs (page 1-4). Now I called Digital…
I just received a call from Rick Estes of Micro-Dyne. Seems that the Kronos driver for AMAX is available (!!!!!). He needed to get my address so he could send it to me. I'll keep you all posted. Rex

Kronos and AMAX II
Message #13923
Norm, ICD's card sounds interesting. What kind of utilities come with it and does it have any easy way to format, partition, etc. especially for the AMAX. I have seen the basic software from the WordSync and you know how cryptic the SCSIDos docs are….. Rex
I'll keep you posted on any new "anomalies" I come across in the meantime. Thanks for the reply! Rex Suba
Hilary, I have also experienced the same problem with saving within BT2 when I boot from my HD installed BT2. I don't seem to have any problems if I boot off the BT2 disk and bypass the HD when saving so….. Rex Suba
Pat That's good to hear. I have been waiting for it for a long time and sent off for the upgrade yesterday. I am disappointed though that the font conversion program is _still_ not available. Oh well…. At least the upgrade for registered owners is great!!!! Rex Suba, Tomodachi Video…
SuperGen Problem
Message #986
I am now having trouble with my year-old SuperGen since I upgraded to an A2000 (used). I have been using with no problem with an A500 and now that I have tried to hook it up to a A2000 I just bought from a non-video person, I find that the…
Jetsons vs. SuperGen
Message #17853
Has there been an update for "The Jetsons" so that I can use it while keeping my SuperGen connected to my system? I have not played in 4 months since my genlock needs to be able for my video graphics output, but I would like to be assured of being…
#PageStream enthusiast
Message #23743
I have been using PageStream since it came out (yes, I'm a registered owner) a while I await the latest update (I have v1.61), I can only say that I have been more than pleased with PageStream. I had been using Professional Page to produce my user's group newsletter until…
Disks?
Message #4013
The problem that our users group has encountered and to which we have not received a satisfactory response is the inability to save documents which have structured graphics, both imported and drawn in the PPage environment. The problem does not affect the printing of the Postscript file to disk; however,…
Mike, The composite coming from the A1000 without the genlock was much sharper than the combined image coming from the Genlock, so I definitely do not agree with you there. Also, there have been many more experienced desktop producers who have published comments to that effect. The video is much…

AmiGen
Message #106030
It is FAR superior to the Amiga Genlock and noticeably better than the color composite out from the A1000. Rex

Don, Thank you…..appreciate the info….will see what happens…. Rex
Rodney: , That's exactly what I've been doing! Essentially this is what I've tried with the cables: , IIGS -> [Mac+ adapter] -> RS-232 DB-25 -> ImageWriter I works fine IIGS -> [Mac+ adapter] -> Cable w/ 2,3 switched -> Hayes Modem works fine , IIGS -> Mac+adapter -> Printer…
#IIGS <-> Amiga Trans
Message #91888
Rodney, Have you transferred files between your Amiga and your IIGS? I am trying to figure this out and I don't know which of my cables to use. I have a gender changer on the Amiga and have my modem and printer cables from the IIGS to choose from (I…
John, Thanks for the info. Rex

. I am facing this terrible dilemma. Called Commodore's hotline for the A500 offer and explained my purchasing the computer on 10/11 and then joining the recognized Amiga users group Tuesday, 10/13 (called CBM last Thursday). Received the coupon Monday 10/19. . Now I have two conflicting tales. Two dealers…

Message #89743
Has anyone had luck with third party 512K/clock expansions for the the A500? I am trying to find out if manufacturers such as Skyles really have a good deal for the products — the ads look promising….. Rex Suba
