setting up AmiTCP/PPP
Message #216344
Having trouble setting up AmiTCP 3.0b2 and PPP 1.30 Made my own logon script (modified one of the ones that came with InterInstall 1.51), and everything seems to log in okay, but nothing works. For example, when I try to ping my DNS, I get: 6.Ram_Disk:> ping 204.225.39.2 PING 204.225.39.2…
Hi Gracia, I use 85 lpi, the printer's default, for postscript printing from programs that will not use the printer's default (ProPage). 73, Kelly
Christian, > every number over 100000,xxxx is outside the US _Maybe_ outside the US, but not outside North America. New Canadian members are now being given 1xyzabc,xyza numbers. Might be so with new US members, too. 73, Kelly

Hi Asha, Any word on when we can start trying to reserve nicknames for our CIS PPNs? 73, Kelly
Hi John, The video transmitter board cost US$139, another US$39 for the sound subcarrier board. These are assembled boards with no cases, connectors, or anything else. Tuneable receive downconverter was another US$99 and is assembled in a case with connectors. This equipment does require a license. It is covered under…
Hi John, From watching over in the HPperiph forum, the Windwos for Workgroups software sometimes does not work all that great. Lots of people seem to have troubles. There is also updated software available for the card over there. Let me know if you ever find a way to connect…
Hi Dale, I paid US$920 for the IIIC scanner. Instead of using the supplied SCSI interface card, am using a SoundBlaster 16/SCSI-II card. Saves having to load another driver (CAM driver for the HP card). And as far as I can tell (I did a lot of looking at what…
Hi John, We were discussing ideas about HOW to connect a LJ4 printer with an ethernet interface to an Amiga via ethernet. So far I haven't found a solution, so haven't bought an ethernet card for the Amiga. Picked up an HP ScanJet IIIC at the Dayton Hamvention. What a…
Gracia, Download TCP4.lha (755549 bytes) from AmigaUser (that's here!), Networking library for AmiTCP4.0 Don't ask me for help on this – I downloaded it for another reason and it is not installed on my system. Heck if I am going to call long distance to Toronto to access the internet…

EtherNet Printer
Message #190508
John, Received a reply from NSDi: >This is not yet supported, but you can download "port-lpr" from >kampi.hut.fi:/AmiTCP to issue print jobs to your printers lpd. The not supported part was redirecting the printer.device output to the JetDirect equipped LJ printer. I take it "port-lpr" redirects a port (PAR: or…

#EtherNet Printer
Message #190295
Hi John, No, I do NOT have ethernet for the Amiga yet. Am on the lookout for a board. Have ordered Dale's book – hope it is of some help. Have also downloaded TCP4.LHA (AmiTCP) and NETTCP.LHA. Don't see any reference to printer daemons or anything of the like in…
Ethernet Printer
Message #190011
Hi Wolf, First of all, what the heck you doing here, shouldn't you be down under by now? Second, I should have posted the original message inthe NetWork section – didn't see it in AP. Time to clean the glasses. Speed is not the issue, but connectivity (new word?). Oxxi…
I am keeping a close eye on the NDeskTop forum as we speak, err, type. Thanks for the feedback. 73, Kelly
#EtherNet Printer
Message #189825
Have an interesting question! If (big if) I could get an ethernet card for my A2500, would software exist to allow sending printer output to an HP LJ4 printer with the HP JetDirect ethernet interface (J2552A)? The J2552A interface supports TCP/IP, DLX/LLC, and IPX/SPX protocols. I know there is TCP/IP…
Lothar, Thanks for the reply. Right now I am still learning what I can about Novell Dos 7 and Personal Netware. All I know for sure is if I only use WfWG 3.11, I will not be able to access the printer from DOS (MS). Keyboard command?? Don't run it…
#Novell DOS 7
Message #189338
Has anybody been able to run Novell Dos 7 on the bridgeboard? Has anybody found any compatibility problems with Novell Dos 7? Can Novell Dos 7 print to an ethernet printer? Am getting a Pentium 90 in a couple of weeks and want to tie it together with the 386…
SR-10 printer manual
Message #189337
Does anybody on here still have the manual for the Star Micronics SR-10 printer? Lost mine a few years ago and need to know what the DIP switch settings are. 73, Kelly
Got the documentation installed okay now. Put it on another partition (one partition too many on this 170 Meg hard drive!) Took up about 15 Megs of HD space for the documentation. What idiot did you guys find to type all that stuff in Getting back to IM R/T for…
Hi Ben, How much disk space is required for the WinImages R3.0 documentation? I have about 15M free and the setup program says I do not have enough space. Just how much do you have packed in the three disks? 73, Kelly
The NEC MultiSpin 3Xe works fine when hooked up to an A2091, even with the DIP switch on the back of the drive set to SCSI-2. At the same time it was hooked up to a quantum 105 and Fujitsu 530 MB (SCSI-2) hard drive (both used on the Amiga),…
Windows loads up just fine on the 386BB. Don't know what System.drv does. Must be on the windows disks. Maybe your windows disk set is bad. 73, Kelly
#A2091 info
Message #181993
Just replaced my A2090A with an A2091 with total success, and am now using a new Fujitsu 530MB HD as a second hard drive. Not the A2091 I received had no documentation (bought used), so I need a bit of information on the board. Near where the memory chips go…
Hi Frank, Yes, you can use SCSI HDs alright, as long as they are not over 270 MB in size (see message number 180347). There are still some SCSI host adapters being made that will work in the A2000, such as GVP's 4008 board. There must still be other's, but…
Hi Jim, The information about the 270MB limitation came from message number 180347, posted by Harald W. Schulz 100022,744. I do not know if the limitation also applies to ST-506 hard drives. Can you still purchase ST-506 drives? They must be getting awful hard to come by nowadays. Yes, the…
Frank, As far as I know, it is not possible to connect a CDRom to an A2090. The software interface used on the A2090/A2090A is different compared to the "standard" interface used in the A2091 and most other manufacturers of SCSI host adapters. I haven't heard of any CDRom drivers…
Hi Harry, I was able to make up a boot floppy (took almost two hours before I got it just right and got the bridgeboard working again.) Was able to PREP the drive without any problems, but things fell apart while formatting the HD. Tried it twice with different paramaters…
Harold, Thanks for the reply. I do have the hddisk from the 2.1 disk (9436 bytes, 27-Jul-92). Just checked the hddisk on the floppy that came with the A2090A, and it too is 9436 bytes in size, but dated '88. Would be nice if somebody could take the newer hddisk…
Hi Ben, I thought you guys must have closed shop for the week. Tried calling the 800 number a couple of times and wasn't getting an answer. Want to take you dudes (and dudets) up on the ImageMaster to Winimages trade up while the offer still stands. Still haven't installed…
A2090A and big HD
Message #180069
Having troubles getting an A2090A interface to work with my new Fujitsu M2684SAU hard drive (528 MB SCSI). The HD is set up at SCSI ID 2, Unit Attention = disabled, SCSI Bus Parity = enabled, SCSI/CCI level set to CCS/SCSI-1 (not SCSI-2), and motor control = auto. Terminator resistor…
Chris, This is the version sitting in the directory where ADPro resides, and is the one from the file on here: 5.Ram_Disk:> version hd2:adpro/adpro.library adpro.library 3.29 73, Kelly
#ps print buggy
Message #97677
The postscript saver you uploaded on August 2nd is still very broken. It still pays no attention to the values I enter for screen density. Also, ADPro doesn't want to print to the proper aspect ratio. It's not using the proper aspect ratio for 320×400 interlaced ham pictures. Half of…
Gary, When I run SCSIFMT it tells me I have the AHA-1510/AIC-6360 on the SoundBlaster 16/SCSI2 board, so the group one options apply. I hav since put the /H6 switch in config.sys, and the host adapter is showing up as unit 6. You want to add some more confusion to…
Gary, The SoundBlaster 16/SCSI-2 uses the 6360 adapter, not the 1522. The DOS driver is ASPI2DOS.sys 73, Kelly
#Commo?Esco?etc. Part II
Message #173905
I guess ISO 9000 certification was not something CBM had even considered! 73, Kelly
Jim, The copy of the manual is in the mail. You should get it in a week or so (good old Canada Post). I have to look at getting a second HD soon – mine has been at 95% full for too long, can't even install my ImageMaster upgrade! What…
Jim, In your email is the PREP program, plus the readme file that was on the A2090A disk (not much here). The file is pretty small, so am sending it off to you. Think you better stay clear of the stuff from your install disk. It sounds like it is…
Hi Jim, Yes, it can be confusing. CBM first came out with the A2090 controller card. This card was able to talk to two ST-506 HD and seven SCSI devices. Everybody was using 1.2 WB, and this never offered any means to boot up from any device other than DF0:.…
Yes, the A2090A is autoboot, but doesn't use the newer Rigid Disk Boot Block method. 73, Kelly
David, Thanks for the replies. Will most definitely keep ACE in mind. Right now, I suffer from having too many irons in the fire, and the fire is running out of oxygen! 73, Kelly
Ash, Can't give you any suggestions for using ACE. I stopped looking at it when I found out it was using single precision math. 73, Kelly
David, No, I am not currently using ACE because it doesn't use double precision math. When you do add double precision math, I will give it a much better look. I have some satellite tracking programs that are in dire need of updating, and giving any form of nice user…
David, Are you still using FFP math or are Double Floats available now? 73, Kelly

Richard, Download CAN22.DMS from the printer driver section of the AmigaUser forum (where you are right now) libraries. File size is 633717 bytes. You will also need the DMS archiving program. It should be in the libraries here somewhere. 73, Kelly
Wolf, Sending the message to me doesn't bother me one bit. Just that sometimes there are people who do not read all the messages in the message base, only those directed at themselves. There are several places I visit on CIS where I only read messages marked for myself because…

#Prt Envelopes w/ HP
Message #166363
Dale, I have not tried to print envelopes with FinalWriter, but do it easily with ProPage, using both PS and graphicdump modes. Biggest problem with ProPage is it doesn't support envelope sizes in it's postscript prologue. For #10 envelopes the prologue goes to size B paper, so I have a…
Wolf, You missed Eduard, and sent the message to me. Hope he sees it. 73, Kelly
Go to preferences/printergfx and change your aspect setting from vertical to horizontal. 73, Kelly
>>Where can I get the developer disk set? Good question, Eduard. You might try contacting CBM UK, and keep your fingers crossed. 73, Kelly
Daniel, Download HP_LJ.LZH from the printer driver section of the library. Then, in FinalWriter, go to the Layout/Page Setup menu selection, and set the print area margins as follows: Top and Bottom to 0.2", Left and Right to 0.25". This is the part of the paper the laser jet can…
