FireCracker
Message #16667
Rick: This is a little off the thread but a couple of days ago in the discussion of of the FireCracker framebuffer there was some indication that it required a Z ZorroII slot and the video slot. My editor search and replace can't find exac exactly the line at the…
Yes we were looking directly at the output of the Vista board we did not have any kind of encoder. How can we get the world to dump the NTSC format?
Actually we have looked at a Vista board (Targa clone) using the ImageLink, which did show bad dot crawl in NTSC mode with high contrast images. BTW, I did not notice that the Transport Controller worked with ImageLink… thanks for pointing it out.
Couldn't help but butt in here, but the mention of frame buffer grabbed me. I just got my Mimetics installed in my A2500 but the image fills the screen vertically but is only about 1/3 of screen width. I have TS-SV set to HAM, OVERSCAN, 24-bit and the framebuffer set…
John: I second that motion… I have Caligari personal which is a neat editor but useless without a conversion module, at least it is to me anwa\/. BTW I am working hard at learning AREXX right now so that I can send some examples in REXX code of some of…

Caligari
Message #10649
John: I am really interested in using Caligari… nice environment. BUT it is really not usefull for anything as it is (I have the 'personal' version). How about could see sell me a pre-release version of whatever you have that will read Caligari into Interchange? I will for a modest…
I bought one of those CMI Accelerators too… I was under the impression that the math libraries they supplied were Commodore's V1.3 libraries. Anyway the thing did not provide performance anywhere near what that much money should have bought. I still have it somewhere because I could not find anyone…

OK so I am talking to myself… I'll get the hang of this thing one of these days.
BTW… Impulse was talking about an ARexx interface for TS SV. Do you know if they implemented it and if so what are some of the detail. Sure would be nice if there was an interface into Diamond as well.
From the Pro version of Caligari they removed just about everything but the editor. The personal version is only the editor… no animation, no video deck controller etc. I realy can't see the reason for the personal version unless John Foust releases the Interchange module for it. The personal version…
#Caligari
Message #9797
Concerning a Conversion Module for Caligari… we'll definitly take the reader module for now and the full implementation when you can get it done. I don't think that you will exactly get stinking rich off of it but there is definetly some demand for it. As an Amiga retailer I…
When we got the first copy of Caligari, we loved the object editor.. boy is it neat!! BUT we soon discovered that it only renders in 16 colors with a very weird and seemingly limited palette. After getting over that d disappointment it was imediately suggested that we should tell…
Both Impulse and Syndesis: I to must extend thanks to both of your organizations for the effort you have have put into your products. I have been using Turbo SV for a few days now and enjoying it imensly. (well something like that). I was assuming that when Stan said…
I am a new owner of Turbo Silver and I am enjoying most of it. I notice mention of a new version, could you elaborate on how much, what to send (cover of manual, original disk, etc.). My registration card should be on your desk any day now. I am…
InterFont
Message #7079
To all at Syndesis: I have been using InterFont for about a month now (you should have the reg registration card by now) and I would just like to say that it is a great that works as advertized and makes it possible to take advantage of the various choices…
Wow… I didn/t know Larry spoke Salish! I stand corrected. Anyway, tell me more about this 'plastic thing' that will allow me to use that SCSI interface in a ZorroII slot…. maybe I get to try out your "skookum" software yet!! Duane E…

Ron: Thanks for the info… I think I might just check it out in the name of hacking if nothing else. The AM-50 has been totaly normal since I got it going so I have all but forgotten about it. NOT like some stuff out there like VizaWrite and especialy…

Ron: Actually I do have the whole package (was ordered months ago when I had a A1000) but I don't have a 1000 to run it. Pity, it looks like Ben and his buddy (forgot the name) have written some pretty scucum software for it. But currently I am stuck…
Ron: I have the AM-50 hooked on to the A2090 controller in my B2000. Both the A2090 and the BridgeCard require BindDrivers unless… somebody knows how to 'mount' them. I wouldn't mind being able to do that. Duane E…

Message #114788
Ben: As I mentioned to Steve, the AM-50 is now working as advertised. I have been running about 14-16 hours a day (my computer is expected to earn its keep) and have not experienced any problems. I want to see how it performs with the new FFS or WB 1.3…

Steve: Your suggestion worked! Put SlowMemLast before BindDrivers and Read/Write Errors all gone (except on the Janus Disk). The AM-50 seems to be reliable and just a tad faster the the ST-506 drive, actually both are faster now. Sure is nice having an extra 50 Meg of harddisk.. Thanks again,…
Don: Yes I got the new hddisk soon after I got the A2090, funny that CBM calls it hddisk when in the mountlist you gotta have '.device' on the end of it. Duane E…
Steve: Yes I have a Micron 2 Meg card, but I have been getting all the harddisks up and running and then doing the SlowMemLast after that. I will give your siggest suggestion a try right away. Ben mentioned, and I have heard before that BindDrivers is not reliable, but…
#AM-50
Message #114132
Steve: That is just what I did, and it is working sort of. I have had to reformat it about 8 times now, it seems real sensitive to the 2090. If I load a program say DrawPlus from it it will come up with a Read/ Write Error.. the program…
Ben and Larry: Wheeeeew! You guys are getting pretty steanmed up over this thing. Excuse me for butting in but… I can represent that dealer you are discussing. COMPUTERMAN!! (Registered trade mark of XL-Data Pac) We returned one failed AM-20 (don't have records in front of me) about the 25-May-87.…
#Hard disk interfaces
Message #113526
Ben: This has probably been asked before but… Could I hook one of those drives to my A2090? I think that the connector is dfferent but that can be over come. The new FFS and the SCSI drive could be good and speedy. Duane E…
