Ray, Are you happy with Mr. Guru? What model amiga do you have and do you have ram on your GVP board? What kind of transfer rate are you getting on SynInfo? And, what percent CPU use? I've got a 2000 with a PPS040/28 board with 32Mb of 32bit ram,…
Don, I think the mistake you are making is assigning logic and intelligence to the actions of the trustees. It seems to me that they, over the last ten months have demonstrate the obverse. This bankruptsy proceeding has not been an excercise of rationality in a vacuum. I have to…
Stephen, Thank you! Will you write a letter? And, will someone have the courage to post the names and the address of the trustees?
Alex, The creditors are controlled by the laywers who sell their time by the hours. Often, laywers are motivated by self interest (greed). From what I've read on the BBS's, it seems to me that the trustees are and have acted in an irrational manner to the detriment of all.…
Jerry, Just because you do not agree with me, doesn't mean that I simply don't get it. Not only are you insulting, but you are single-minded to a fault. I don't know what you do for a living or how successful you have been, but I have found that determination,…
Jim, I agree, the liquidators may not be pristine, god-like creatures, making enlightened decisions and acting unfailingly in the best interests of the creditors. Maybe, they, like a lot of laywers I know, just keeping the pot boiling so that they can keep receiving fees. (Please forgive me, all of…
Marion, How do you know that the Trustees won't read our letters? Certainly, if we don't write them, they won't read them. As far as the Trustees getting on line on Compuserve and popping up to the AmigaUser zone, I think that that is a bit of a reach. All…
Don, You're right and you're wrong. Sure, the Trustees have a job to do and their responsibility is to the creditors and to the courts (or whatever they have in the Bahamas). But you're wrong about their getting a lower price and/or percipitating the murder of Amiga. That, my friend,…
Don, The "pressure" which may affect the Trustees is very simple human psych- ology. These fellows don't know we exist. At least, we are not "top-of- mind". They have been dealing with few potential buyers and the creditors lawyers. I believe the negotiations and due dilligence has been going on…
Jerry, ..and the world may come to an end, or here in California, we may have a 7.5 earthquake in April, so I guess there is no use getting out of bed and going to work! Come on, Jerry, you are on these boards a lot. You must have a…
Wayne, You're right. "You never know until you try". OK, Wayne, write a letter. But first, has someone posted the names and the address? FIGHTBACK! Jon Byk
Wayne, Think about it. If you were a trustee and you got even 1000 letters a week describing our dilema and encouraging you to move ahead post haste, you could not help being affected. Congressmen make important decision based on fewer responses. Anyway , what to we have to lose?…
#FIGHT BACK!
Message #187791
Dear Mr. Saperstein, So what? Who cares what the "Trustees" are supposed to do for the creditors. I don't and neither should you. Clearly, these "Trustees" are incompetant or they would have effected a decesion before Christmas and for all the other Amiga owners is to DEFINATELY rattle their cage,…
#FIGHT BACK!
Message #187569
6,000,000 Amiga owners – 2 trustees – 10 months and no action. I'm fed up. What about you? I don't care about Ali or Gould and the creditors are getting screwed as badly as we are. By the time those fools make a decision, there won't be anything left! Almost…
Jeff, You can, with 2.1, install and access high density floppies. Call AMax for the 2.56 upgrade. No color, but works great. Jon Byk
I bought a 3640 from DeVine, but I ordered it with MMU and FPU. Works great although I understand that there have been problems with Ramsey chip compatibility in the A3000. You need to have 68040.Library in your libs folder and CPUSET to make it go! Jon Byk
Tom, Ah ha! So therein lies the rub. You may, if you choose, order a cable from Toshiba (call 800 mumber?) which plugs into back of CDRom. I have one but alas, it is too short as I chopped some off to get some thin wire with which to solder…
#CD-ROM
Message #183025
Tom, I have the same toshiba CDRom drive in my 2000. How did you implement sound? I've been told that I have to connect the output from the back of the unit to the RCA jacks at the back of the machine. Thanks Jon Byk
040 BOARD DIED
Message #166186
Have Progressive Peripherals 040/28 board with 4 megs of 32 bit ram. Tried to ad four more sims for a total of 8 megs. Wouldn't boot. Dark grey screen. Took out new sims. Booted OK. Changed old sims for new. Would'nt boot. Replaced original 4 sims only. Wouldn't boot. Oh…
Call Software Hut. You can get the number from the ad in AmigaWorld. Jon Byk
#New Pagestream
Message #164271
I got my Pagestream 3.0 yesterday. Installed it (15 MB). Tried it out. It – I don't think – should have been released yet. Typeing is slow as a sea slug on my 3000 and many of the features JUST DON'T WORK. Par- ticularly the one I use for writing…
Don, Methinks Franklyn protests too much. He persists and desists and time flys and "the best interests of the creditors" will become their worst night- mare. Clearly, everyone who reads this forum or keeps up with the diminishing rumors has an understanding of the foolishness of playing out the liquidation…
Scott, I bought a Toshiba 3401B at Fry's last week for 349 dollars and installed it in my 040 A2000. Bought ASIM software. Fred Fish (CD) works fine but you cannot play music CD's except with headphones! Amy won't handle 24bit audio. I wonder if sound effects in CD games…

I own 1000 ss having lost 5K fooling with options. I agree Irving and present upper management should be terminated; probably sued for mis- management. Of course I would vote my stock to effect the forgoing.

#Banding Problem
Message #53397
Hi Mark, It's been a couple of months since I sent you a floppy of a PageStream file that prints bands of grey or gurus on my HPDJ printer. I haven't heard back from you and we are still having the same problem. Occasionally, we can print a page with…
I wonder if the author of NComm is aware of the "bug". Maybe if Compuserve gave him free access for a month or so he would fix it! Hint. Hint. NComm is a great program. How about it Compuserve? Jon Byk
#SOFTLOGIC/PAGESTREAM
Message #48814
Well sir, when I access the list of vendors there are only 14. Soft Logic used to be – I think – number 15. But anyway, here I am as you say, but how do I get here if I don't have a message waiting? Jon Byk
#Printers & Drivers
Message #48813
Having problem with amiga 2.21 pagestream. when printing out to HPDJ get bands of very small grey characters across the lower half of page and about a quarter inch on the following page. The Pagestream file prints to the area when the band starts. Did not have this kind of…
NComm 2.0 and CIS B
Message #80741
Yeao! I've been screwing around with my supra fax v32 bis modem and NComm for a couple of days trying to download from Compuserve. CIS B has never worked, although I have gotten YMODEM G to download but not lately. Sure glad – heh heh heh – somebody else has…

Printers & Drivers
Message #47860
We are regular users of PS for advertising production. I recently bought an HP LJ4. I think this new printer is a giant step forward. We are interested in using the 600 dpi resolution capability to set type with PS2.2HL. When are you going to write a printer driver for…
I'm thinking of sending my wife to RAM:. I will be waiting with bated breath for you to complete the lj4 (STOCK) driver. We use pagestream here and think it is better for making ads. My AD won't use PPage. We send PS files to ram: and then zip them…
#Used LaserJets?
Message #78698
Kelly Thanks for the good information. I guess it would be most sensible to bite bullet and go for the PS sim instead of turboing the CPU with a more expensive accelerator although I heard CSA will be releasing a superfast version of their new Derringer in Jan of next…
Kelly I just got an LJ4. It didn't work with the old cable I had hooked to a DJ. I finally figured it out and got a new cable. I'm in the advertising agency business and the printout is so good I think I'll use it for setting type -…

Message #106840
Dear Famous, I just sold my sailboat or I would use the Sony 1302 as an anchor. Sony won't let their customers get near a technician. You get to talk to a girl in the sales office who relays your message to a more senior person who then explains your…

William…you can buy an Alegra 512K external ram expansion for about 300 dollars or perhaps less. It is made by Access Associates in N. Calif. It does not support "pass thru" which meanjs that you cannot connect anything else to it. It is upgradeable to 1.5 megabites, however the 1…
Thank you for your reply. By the way, you are famous! I have been reading about you in Amiga mags! I've already tried my new Sony 1302 Monitor with my old 1000. Same results as with my new 2000. ..sixty percent of normal live image. I also lugged it to…
Thank you John, for your suggestion. There are 2 slide switches: digital/analog and 2 other 2 position toggles. I've tried them every witchway and every waywitch: I still don't get no satisfaction! I toted the monitor back to where I bought it. It performed dissapointingly well. Oh well…. Jon Byk/LA
Thank you, Don, for your prompt reply, however I've tried that: the vertical control brings the picture almost to full screen but t horizontal control does not increase the width of the picture. It will only decrease it. Thereby, with the height expanded and the width constant, the aspect ratio…
#Sony 1302 Monitor
Message #106342
Bought a Sony 1302 monitor. Have connecting cable from Redmond Cable. The monitor works with Amy2000 but the image on the screen is too small top to bottom and side to side. The picture is about 60% of normal. Does anyone know how to cure this or am I doomed…
