Hi Paul, Hmmm… good point. – Right, I have an AMiga SCSI _and_ a SCSI controller on the GG side. ( GG support in NY had provided me with an A/B switch to change between the Amiga side & PC side. – So, I've never needed to access the CDROM…
Hi Dale, re: >>I want a DSP for ISDN, v.34, advanced voice synthesis and recognition, etc. And I want a friendly 2001 Space Odyssey (HAL clone) to explain those friggin' GURU messages to me!!! – Dave (no pun intended…)
Hi Paul, I'm sure that you should get a more detailed reply here, but I'm running a CDROM off my GG486SLC… You need a scsi controller & to add the device to you auto.config, I think are the main things. I can get the details from my setup if you…
Hi Betty, >> … but I did get a single certificate. I read your earlier post after I had replied… Thank you, I will consider it. – Dave
Hi Scott, >> Have you asked your Broker what is done with any money left over… Uhmmm… No, Scott I haven't asked my Broker and have no intention of doing that. I bought the stock because I believed the price was about as low as it would go, and because…
Hi Michael, >> Well, I got my statement, and it still lists as "Commodore Intl Ltd" and >> has a price of 7/8. (Where they got that price, I have no idea). Hmmmm… You don't think that somebody actually went out & bought some for a souvenir certificate, now do…
Hi Eulogio, >> Actually I have it on good authority it stands for Commodore, >> Blatantly Unbelievable and Incredible Failure 🙁 Well, I suppose I should say that I'm glad that you (at least) kept it clean!! 🙂 – Dave
Hi Harry, >> Hey, if it really is worthless, I want to buy a certificate from you >> to frame and hang in my office. Course I wouldn't give you what you paid >> for it. Actually, I'd like to do the same… but all of my shares are held…
Hi Steve, >> I have no idea, but if I were to guess I'd say the "IF" means "in foreclosure". Thanks for the reply, it sounds the most likely of the posts here. (Unfortunately) – Dave
#What is CBUIF??
Message #155405
I happen to be one of the unfortunate individuals that purchased some Commodore stock and actually held onto it… I have noticed that the statements from my broker now list my shares of "Commodore Intl, Ltd" under the symbol "CBUIF" (instead of the previous symbol "CBU"), and list it as…
Thanks John… I was just hoping somebody had experienced some succes using those Amiga drives for GG backups. – Dave
GoldenGate 486 Backups?
Message #152740
I have a GoldenGate 486SLC emulator and would like to know if anybody has any positive experiences running backups from the Amiga 4000 high density floppy drives.(??) I'm currently using Central Point Backup (for Windoze), and the software only seems to want to run at an extremely slow rate. (zzz…zzz…zzz……
Hi Franz, Pro Calc 2.0 AGA did arrive from my local dealer Friday. (Should mention AmigaWorld ads from Select Solutions listed the price at $120, Creative at $69, – my local dealer charged $89.) >> …keep in mind that my demo version of TurboCalc is the German >> version. I…

Message #146986
Hi Franz… >> Turbocalc is much cheaper than Pro Calc AGA, isnt it ? Actually, I have no idea what Turbocalc runs… My local Amiga dealer doesn't carry spreadsheets at all, so I asked them to order Pro Calc 2 AGA… Essentially, it was the only spreadsheet (for my A4000)…
Hi Paul… I wrote: >> THIS SOFTWARE REQUIRES A DONGLE ON THE SECOND PARALLEL PORT! (meant) THIS SOFTWARE REQUIRES A DONGLE ON THE SECOND JOYSTICK PORT! You wrote: >> The second parallel port? I WISH! Then we'd all have a real >> legitimate greivance. Well… I have a GoldenGate 486SLC…
Hi Matt, >> >> Look for info after end of day Friday. > >> Well duh! O.K… just for fun, I'll throw in my guess… Being curious, I checked out some time cluster information from Advanceg GET sofware, based upon Commodore's past stock quotes… I'm looking for a significant announcement…
Hi Robb, Your msg was addressed to Paul, but I assume you meant me…. >> In a disaster recovery scenario … O.K… agreed, but under the conditions that you describe (sounds like an unscheduled loss of the CPU), how often does this happen to the typical user?? If it is…
Hi Paul… I guess I spoke too soon (and read your message too late!)… I bought Brilliance today and was very unhappy to discover the dongle inside. Geesh, I mean why wasn't there some warning on the box?? Something like: THIS SOFTWARE REQUIRES A DONGLE ON THE SECOND PARALLEL PORT!…
Hi Franz… >> If I were you I would checkout the demo version. Hmmm… wish I'd thought of that. I just ordered Pro Calc 2 AGA (for my A4000) to handle my portfolio info. Crossing my fingers… – Dave
Hi Paul, I have a dongle on the parallel port on the PC side for a very expensive piece of software…. I refuse to buy yet another software dongle. O.K…. what I really want to know is why don't more people (aside from Jack Radigan) use the license key approach?…
(This is to anyone actually…) But I was wondering if NewTek knows about (or is connected to) the software company featured on page 94 of the June issue of Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine?? The "News Release" says the company (NewTEK Industries) has a technical analysis market program…
Hi Chris, Uhmmm…. I forgot to mention that Equis Pulse was voted (by the readers) the #1 portfolio program of the year in "Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities" magazine here in the U.S… TASC is a leading magazine in that field. (But, still looking for something on the Amiga…
Hi Chris, >> as far as I've seen so far, "financial management" software >> basically deals with money (i.e. what do you earn vs. what do you >> spend and for what, loans, etc.), is that correct? Mind you, >> I haven't actually _seen_ such a program yet, just read…

#Financial Management
Message #145097
Hi Chris, >> What do YOU (all of you) expect from a "financial management" program? I wanted to respond to this, because I don't have a "good" program for my purposes. And, all I really want to do is track & monitor my IRA. (Which I want to manage by…
Hi Dale, I'm glad you finally spoke up there…. Personally, I was thinking that you'd be in the midst of negotiations with third party development types about a new Amiga clone. See ya, – Dave
O.K. Thanks John.
GG II: Is this official?
Message #139265
Marion, I found this posted to MAXNET… I usually contact GMR Productions in NY for GoldenGate support (per your newsletter…). So is this news or is it just an attempt to confuse me?? Thanks, – Dave (Here's the post:) ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Subj : GoldenGate II From : Robert Davis On :…
Hi Brian, Uhmmm… are you talking about software to get the Amiga to drive the CDROM?? If so, I believe there is a CDROM driver in the libraries here. Otherwise, I might assume you are asking about software that you may need to permit both machines to use the CDROM…
Hi Steve, I had a phone confirmation from my broker on a purchase of Commodore stock on April 5th at $.875… Also, he has sent me written confirmation of that order. Symbol CBU, CUSIP #202660106000. Also, although I have several days of "NA" (Not Available) from my data source (Dial…
Hi Daniel, Your post to Dale was just a bit too technical for me, but I enjoyed reading about your activities… If anyone asked me about HMD, I normally wouldn't be able to reply intelligently. However, I wanted to let you know that the local BBS boards are giving VR…
Leslie, Thanks for the reply! … You wrote: >> In the back of Amiga World there is an ad for Electrohome monitors >> which they say are Amiga compatible. While looking for the ad in the April issue, on page 82 ("Help Key" by Tim Walsh) I also noticed that…
Hi Leslie, You wrote: >> could you leave a little review on the CTX? Looks like Dale was able to give you at least a mild review of the CTX… Creative now tells me that they don't know when the CTX monitors will arrive, and my local dealer says check…
Hi Ron… Thanks for the bandwidth! A side benefit from our conversation is that I have a note in my mailbox from someone that may have (one) monitor for me! Thanks, – Dave
Hi Leslie, >>I called Creative Computers last night and they told me they have 1942 monitors in stock. NOrmally I wouldn't have a problem with this statement, but as it is, I have a problem with it at the moment… _I_ called Creative back in January for a 1942 monitor……
Hi Ron, RR >> Make sure you have a Commodore 23-to-15 pin adaptor for connecting the monitor to the Amiga's Video port. 🙂 Thanks Ron, I have the adapter… finding a VGA "multisync" that syncs on the horizontal down to 15 kHz isn't as easy, tho. All the newer models…
Wayne, I have not heard of the "GoldenGate II" board that you asked about (other than rumors about the GoldenGate pentium type of upgrade)… But I have the Vortex GG 486SLC and it permits the use of IBM boards, like floppy controllers. In fact, I have an I/O board that…
Thanks Ronald!! That list is just what I need… My new A4000 has been sitting on my desk since January (with no monitor)… I think I'll take your listing down to my local PC department store this weekend! Thanks! – Dave
Hi David, You might get a better response if you posted to area #12 (Emulators). – Dave
Hi Bob, I'm putting together a GoldenGate 486SLC on an Amiga4000/040 as we speak… (and running out of slots fast). Perhaps in another month or two I could answer your questions a bit more intelligently, but since it appears that nobody else is going to reply, I thought I'd at…
Thanks John… I did get a parallel port I/O card for the Golden Gate and it looks like it works just fine… Also took another look at the manual, and sure enough – on page 22-23, it suggests getting a card (for weird things like dongles). So, when all else…
Hi Marion… Thanks for the reply…. I wanted to get back to you. Trying to preserve my remaining open slots, I did exactly as you suggested… I obtained an I/O board that has two serial ports, a game port, a parallel port, an IDE controller, and a floppy drive controller……
Thanks Gary! I appreciate the reply…. Fortunately, I have a well-stocked CompUSA nearby that has the HP550C, HP1200, and Cannon BubbleJet. (Probably my top choices at the moment…) The specs say the HP550C and HP1200 both give the same color resolution at about 300 DPI, with the HP1200 having the…
Golden Gate software rev
Message #132844
Hmmm…. I've been buying some hardware from GMR Productions in NY this past week, and noticed that they sent me a new "Goldmine" (disk 1) that sez the version number is 1.31.27 from 2/94… Not seeing it posted here yet, I'm beginning to wonder what the improvements may be for…
Hi Lewis, I've been using the Syquest 44 MB for years and have been happy with that purchase… I have no experience with the model that can read both 44 & 88 MB disks. The nice thing about them is that if I run into disk surface errors (that can't…
Printer Suggestions??
Message #131798
Hello, I haven't been visiting this area on CIS very often, but was wondering if anybody would have a suggestion on a possible printer selection. I have an HP paintjet at the moment and would like to upgrade. The reason for this is because I'd like to obtain print that…
Hi Don, Just one more note here… I didn't mean to imply that HP was the first to come up with a version of a Logical Volume Manager. I've also seen the one for the AT&T (NCR) SVR4. (Complete with the GUI for it. I'm thinking that it is likely…
Hi Don, Thanks for the comment. Uhmmm… I'm not familiar with Pyrimid's OSx at all. Is this available for the Amiga? – Dave
#Networking Announcement
Message #125175
Hi Dale, Just a quick note here, because you may want to tuck this in the back of your mind for a future project. (I can understand that there probably isn't enough users to justify all the development work in the world …) But, the HP Logical Volume Manager comes…
I don't know about the other users here, but your discussion on NFS for the Amiga doesn't sound all that boring to me. In fact, it sounds more like the *beginnings* of an interesting thread. Please continue with any details that you may want to provide. It has been my…
Naw, not really… After all, that's what it's all about isn't it?? I kinda look at it as an incentive not to lose money. Also, (if I may jump in and digress here…) it sometimes makes me feel like some type of cross between a cowboy and a wolf… Like…
