Trevor, The CBM_MPS1000 printer driver should work with your friend's IBM 5152 printer. I used a Commodore MPS-1000 printer for years, and it emulates the IBM 5152 printer. The MPS-1000 printer driver should be on the Workbench disks under Devs/Printers. I'm not familiar with the A600, as I use an…
Thanks, Marion – I'll try 5000 and see what happens. I couldn't remember what the original setting had been, and can't find it in my manual. I'll let you know what happens. Flying low and slow …. on AutoPilot. Mary
#Bridgeboard keys stick
Message #189188
Marion, What setting do you suggest I set the Key Timing to? I seem to remember having changed it at one point, and it seems to me that I started having the problem after that. I should mention that my bridgeboard is the 286 BB (haven't felt the need to…
final copy II printing
Message #189171
Terry, You and I are having the same problem. I'm running an A-500 with a Bodega Bay expansion unit in which I have a GVP SCSI controller and a Quantum 105meg HD, 1 meg of chip ram and 4 megs of fast ram, with a Panasonic KX-P2123 printer. However, I'm…
Hi, Lu There are a number of genealogy programs for the Amiga – the ROOTS forum (GO ROOTS) has a library section (Other Software, I think it's called) with a file listing a number of programs. There are also, in the same library, some pd/shareware programs you can download, as…
Bridgeboard keys stick
Message #188758
Marion, Thanks for the reply to my question about the keys sticking when I'm in WP 5.1. You mention the key repeat rate/delay in Amiga Preferences having made a difference. If I remember correctly, there's also a key repeat/delay (?) setting on the Bridgeboard side. Would making a change there…
#Bridgeboard keys stick
Message #187506
Marion, I've been following the Bridgeboard Help thread, and wonder if you could answer a question I have which seems to relate to "stuck" keys. When I'm in WP 5.1 (I have a 2286 BB), and press certain keys (particularly the Enter/Return key, I end up with _pages_ of HRT's,…
Lowell, You're welcome. If I can help in any way, let me know. Flying low and slow …. on AutoPilot. Mary
#Genealogy Program
Message #186633
Lowell, thanks for your note. Actually, I'm basing my comparison on the original commercial version of Origins. I hadn't realized they had brought out a newer version – would have expected to be informed, as I'm a registered user. However – having used both YFT and Origins I, I found…
Marianne, I intercepted your reply to Thomas re a genealogy program. There are several good ones for the Amiga, although I'm not familiar with the one on the Fish disk. I use "Your Family Tree", aka "YFT" (commercial), available from MVP Software, P.O. Box 458, Aliquippa, Pa. 15001 (Telephone: 412-378-0411).…
SBase Pers4 1.3b Upgrade
Message #61538
Hi Mike – just a note to say thanks for the info concerning the free upgrade to Sbase Personal 4 v1.3b. I phoned and ordered it and am looking forward to receiving it shortly. I had also enquired about the "example" files which did not seem to be complete on…
#Sbase_Pers_4 HELP
Message #61196
Hi – I've recently received my upgrade to Sbase Personal 4 (from Personal 2) and am having a problem with printing. My printer is a Panasonic KX-P2123, which emulates an Epson LQ860. I selected the SB_Epson_LQ.ini printer file in Sbase's printer setup, and when I send anything to the printer…
Randy, thanks for answering my plea for help re QB5.0.2. I discovered the solution to my problem yesterday and wanted to pass it on to you in case other people experience what I did: I was running a pd program called "Silence", which stops the clicking on my floppy drive.…
QB5.0.2 Problems – Help!
Message #45948
I'm having a problem with QB 5.0.2: I downloaded the patches to fix the bugs in 5.0 and they reported successful. When I loaded the program, the program name was shown as Quarterback 5.0.2, so I assume that the patches were indeed successful. I tried to test the program by…
QB 5.0 PATCHES FOR BUGS
Message #45453
I've just recently bought Quarterback 5.0, and I seem to remember reading on this Forum about a couple of "patch" programs which correct some bugs in the program. If this is correct, could you please let me know the exact names of these programs, so that I can download them?…
#Accounting Program
Message #72365
Hi, can anyone direct me to a good home/small business accounting program? I'd need to know which Library it's in and its exact name, as I'm still running the old version of Whap! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot. – via Whap!
BOOT-UP PROBLEMS – HELP!
Message #59370
Can anyone help me solve the problem I'm having with boot-up? I have an A-500 with a Bodega Bay unit, A-501, GVP HD+8 hard disk controller with 2 extra megs of memory and a Quantum LPS-105 hard disk. What's happening is that when I power up (99.9% of the time),…
Buying a printer
Message #58094
Lou, I recently bought a Panasonic KX-P2123 24-pin printer with a colour option. So far, I'm very happy with it – it has seven fonts, and a super-quiet mode, which is redundant as far as I'm concerned, as it's the quietest dot-matrix printer I've ever heard. I imagine it's available…
Thanks, Marion – I'll do that. This whole BB thing is rather complex for me, considering that I have no local resources. Thanks loads for your help. – via Whap!
Yes, I DO back up my files – more specifically, my hard disk. I guess I'll take the plunge. My BB is an AT, but I don't suppose that'll make much difference as far as any of the information I'm getting from all you wonderful people. Thanks loads for the…
As I understand the situation, it appears that if I already have the bridgeboard (hardware and software) installed, I should have no problems running 2.04. However, one comment was made that Janus 2.0 won't work under 2.04. Does that mean that I would –have– to get the bootup board, and…
#2.04 compatibility
Message #56106
Can anyone out there tell me if there's any conflict between Workbench 2.04 and the A2286 Bridgeboard? I'd like to upgrade to 2.04, but seem to remember having heard that there are compatibility problems? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks. – via Whap!
KX-P2123 printer driver
Message #56105
Hi – I'm a fairly new Compuserve user, and I need some help. I've recently bought a Panasonic KX-P2123 Colour printer, and wonder if anyone out there has a Preferences printer driver for it. I'd also love to get an Amiga WordPerfect printer driver for it. The other alternative(s) would…
