Memory expansion board
Message #68781
Larry, I found ultimately a way to produce the crashes reproducibly. It seems indeed that the expansion board worked only properly in the "bottom part". When filling up progressively beyond approx 1.5 Mb i. e. 0.5 Mb only on the board, very little would produce a crash and additional programs…
Splendid are in this chapter the instructions accompanying cameras and flashlights! Translated from Japanese into English, from there to German again, by a Japanese probably, and ultimately printed in HK or Dresden(East Germany) to keep costs down. Proofreading was possibly done by a Swiss school leaver on a holiday job.…
Rick, Thank you for this tip. I will write to NY. – Alfred (Calling from Thalwil, near Zurich, Switzerland)
Ray, This is crystal clear now. It is a pity you have not written the manual in the first place (even going a little past 40 !). It is totally beyond my comprehension why such matters are just about never spelt out clearly and why producers of soft- and hardware…
Larry – Thank you for this explanation. For the lack of such explanations I find using computers often unnecessarily frustrating. I suspect the problem could be just as easily an installation problen on harddisks. Again for unexplained (or unexplicable?) reasons some program installations have to be accompanied by assign statements…
Ray – The comments are nearly in the same place. As I had only a Daisy wheel printer before, all these setting were of no importance. The explanations are only moderately clear to me. As far as I can gather 3 situations may be distinguished: a) Typing letters b) Rendering…
Rick – I will try this setting. Would you know, whether there is already a Deskjet Plus driver available? – Alfred

Larry- Not much chance of using another Board just like that, as I can not invest unlimited time into experiments. But what is stack 8000 e.g. doing exactly? My manuals tend to be cryptic. -Alfred

Rick – Thank you for the hint. The Amiga DOS 1.3 manual (Amiga DOS 1.3 Benutzerhandbuch, Deutsch) has only a table showing that e.g. density 4 corresponds to 300 dpi and that all dip-switches should be set to OFF. The HP-Manual conversely describes in the appendix the functions of the…
Thank you Larry. I have also been offered an upgrade to a B-Board. A way to go may therefore be B-Board plus some expansion board. – Alfred
Larry – Well – I have the chips, but the vendor/expert doesn't talk to me anymore… Unfortunately I still seem to have a problem. The chips are set in their sockets and I changed the jumpers to sit in positions 2 and 5 (from left to right, looking at the…

Ray – I thought about finding him a job with a competitor of ours… – Alfred
Best Monitor for A2000
Message #55912
John, Unfortunately my Maxiplan 500 has quit drawing any graphs for reasons unknown. This is what I would have liked to test most of all. But I'll pick up your idea and will use something else first. – Alfred
#Memory expansion A2000
Message #55911
Larry – I am calling via the Swiss packet switched network TELEPAC. I dial the PTT-PAD (packet assembler-disassembler) with an ordinary Modem (1200,1200, 8N1), where I identify myself with a NUI (Network User Identification), so I won't miss any bills. For Compuserve there is then a short number, 03132 to…
Don, I found also to my great pleasure that the new AREAD and AWRITE transfer the special charcters now correctly. This is of some importance if you write occasionally in French or German. BTW, installation of automatic clock transfer proved to be simple. I included a run of the Function…

Hardcard Install Problem
Message #49450
Don – For the benefit of other readers I would just like to add, that it is also essential to transfer the latest version of AREAD and AWRITE from the JANUS Disk accompagning the AT Board, even if you have only an XT. This seems to be a newer version,…
#page change stop?
Message #5429
How can I convince my A2000(WB 33.56) to stop printing to change paper, when I am using single sheets? I have preferences set accordingly, but this does not seem to have any impression on this (…..) machine. It treats everything as fanfold,putting in a few line feeds to get across…
Mike I use Diga! (Aegis) on my A2000. A good package though not Compuserve specific. Would nevertheless recommend it. Regards – Alfred (calling from Thalwil near Zurich,Switzerland)
In Switzerland an A-500 with Commodore color monitor will cost about SFR 2000, an A-2000 about SFR 3000.- (1$=1.55 SFR). Marketing is not very active and business buyers are probably not too enthusiastic. Most would go as into homes riding largely the C64 success. I am convinced that to tap…

Larry, I think I found a simple solution. CTRL-P set 005:001,123:000 CR CR is completely sufficient in my case. Also the problem then of resetting does not arise, or could be initiated again with another CTRL-P.However I have not disabled CTRL-P. I am connected via x.28.Plse note also what I…

Brendan, I hav not yet looked-up CSC-net. I am leaving for Holland (worse than winter in AUS ?) for a week, so there were other worries. I have an A 2000 with XT card, so it would be quite possible to use other software and to hook the terminal across,…
