ASDG, Sorry to burst your bubble but I have no problem at all running ASDG RRD on my a-3000 under either 1.3 or 2.0 dos. I also have a 4 meg 32 bit fast and 2 meg chip memory machine. *—Dan Harris —*
ASDG, Hate to burst your bubble but I have been running my asdh rrd (vd0:) recoverable ram disk under 2.0 on my A3000 with fine results. Just placed the handler (asdg.vdisk.device) in the devs drawer, made a mountlist entry and added a mount command to the startup-sequence. I had it…
50-meg HD on the A3000?
Message #115618
I checked with my dealer about the new 50 meg substitution for the new A3000' and he says they are Quantam. I guess Quantum is now manufacturning 50 meg drives. I'm a little upset that I just bought a 3000 and if I had waited 2 weeks I could have…
#Minor A3000 Problems
Message #115614
I agree about the case construction. My case does not align properly and I must force the damn thing to line up with the screw holes on the chasis. The paint missed where the screws are and there is a offset dark unpainted circle near each of the side screws.…
#1Mb Agnus Compatability
Message #115613
Greg: Yes, the shorting block on j101 had to be moved to pins 2 and 3, this enables address line 19 from the 68000 that controls the 1 meg address range. Jumper pad j500 has a two pad jumper with a trace conntcting the two pads. This is the trace…
I was considering a GVP A3001 too but added up the cost of that and a flicker fixer and came up with more than a new A3000, after the recovered money from selling my A2000 was factored in. The A3000 has more goodies to boot, like the new chip set,…
There is a hp deskjet + driver in Excellence! v 2.0.
I installed the 1meg agnus on my rev 4.2 A2000 with no apparent ill effects. I installed it myself and made no alterations to the motherboard except to cut one jumper trace. I was able to run dpaint iii and photon paint.
Steve: Ok steve, I'll pick up 'official version', hope the author fixes the A3000 1.3 problem soon thought.
I solved my fast softclock problem by changing the 350 jumper on the mother board. It was mis-set from the factory. Where is the quality control?
Les: Thanks Les, I'll stop by lib 11 over at macpro and pick that handler up.
Clint: Yes, I was aware that Virusx 4.4 was not a offical version, thanks for your tip.
Larry: Good to hear, now I have two of you that have the same fix for my problem. DOn Curtis was kind enough to answer my plea too.
Don: Thanks for the tip on checking out the 8520 CIA chip. You are the only one who has taken an interest in the problem. I am on the phone right now with my dealer and he is checking to see if he has any 8520' in stock. I will…
The best price I have seen mailorder on the Zenith 1492 (vga not multiscan or rgb) is around $600. I was considering getting one for my A3000 but found out that the VGA port on the back of the A3000 would not support all of the resolution modes that the…
What is the trick to install propage on the hd in 2.0? It won't allow me to do it with the hdinstall program that comes with ppage. It installed on 1.3 ok but who wants to use it there!
I'll try extending the wait time a couple seconds and see if that is the problem. I get a lemon yellow screen and the system hard boot loops for ever every time I try to REBOOT from 2.0. I haven't noticed if I can warm start into the volume selection…
Chris, I just read several message back that only the dos partition you are booted in mounts, you could edit the mountlist and startup-sequence of dos to include the other version, I suspect.
Do we have a problem here or am I just dumb? Don't answer that… I downloaded and installed per the packed instructions, kickre.lzh but can only switch from 1.3 to 2.0, not vice-versa. How about a detailed installation procedure please. I put both kickmenu and reboot in my 2.0 c:…
I would be interested in trying out that mac handler for the hp deskjet, do you have the file name and sig location I can find it in? How did you configure your Amax to accept the printer/driver, maybe that is my problem.
Glad that was the sequence you were looking for. No, warm boot will not allow you to change dos versions. There is supposed to be a software program ,KICKRE.LZH, that will allow dos changes on the fly, but it doesn't work for me going from 2.0 to 1.3. It will…
#a3000 softclock problem
Message #115032
Help! My A3000's software clock is running at +290.33% real time. The hardware clock is fine. I have tested two local dealers A3000 and thay are fine. I have taken my problem to my dealer, Commodore csc and just about anyone who will listen with no positive results. If I…
Regarding my last reply to yours, I mistated that the Zenith 1492 was RGB, I meant to say it is a VGA, sorry.
I found some 1X4 zips but they were page not column mode. Are your suppliers Page mode?
I pulled down two different mac drivers for the HP deskjet and couldn't get either to work for me with amax, good luck and please let me know if you are able to get one to work!
The best looking monitor I have EVER seen is the Zenith 1492, but alas, it is only rgb. I did compare it next to a NEC 2D and 3D as well as a .26 pitch sony multiscan, can't remember the number. The Zenith blew them all away! The contrast, depth…
I get the 'cold capture vector not zero' on my A3000 under 1.3 but not under 3.0 when virusx 4.4 loads. I just assumed it was another incompatibility problem we 3000 users are fast growing to expect.
WARM boot with BOTH mouse buttons held down Chris. Hope that is where you are trying to get to.
I too was looking for 1X4 Static column ram chips but couldn't locate any. I settled on 256X4 static column chips, I only wanted 4 meg of fast and 2 of chip anyway. I will probably see the day when I wish I had waited to find the 1X4 chips…
#amax ii+ serial on amiga
Message #114776
Count me in also. I have an Amax 1.0 now but just upgraded to an A3000 and would sure like to have additional serial ports available on the Amiga side. Sounds like a cost effective way to get multiple serial ports to me. As long as we are on the…
JrComm on A3000 dos 2.0
Message #114775
Jack, I understand that JrComm will not run under 2.0 on A3000, is this correct and if so are you making the proper corrections to the term to bring it into compliance with the new dos? When can we expect it? If you have addressed this issue already please forgive…
