Ok, sounds good, Delaware's not too far for me to go, if we work out a price. Thanks for your help so far. Greg
I'm in Lower Bucks County ( Newtown, PA ). I've heard of Chadds Ford (but I can't recall from where). I can get to Rts 309, 611, 95 and the turnpike pretty easily from here. If I can sell all but the midi stuff that would be good. Please get…
A2000 system for sale
Message #62610
I've decided I to sell my a2000 system. It's in good shape and has had light-moderate use (none of it productive). I would like to find one buyer for the whole thing, but will break it up if I can sell enough of the pieces. Hardware: A2000 (w/2.0 ROM installed,…
Thanks for the info. I remembered it as having been written by someone big, I guessed wrong about who. I tried all the logical keywords in the file finder like ROAD and MAP and TRIP and ATLAS , but I guess none of them are associated.
#Trip Planner
Message #51083
Does anyone here remember anything about a program that would plot a course from one point on the country to another and give you a listing of roads and directions etc. I think it was written by Matt Dillon and remebered seeing it about 3 or 4 months ago. I…
I have an old ADM-3 here that I use now and then for debugging stuff, or trying to get my PDP running. I found that in order to use it as a terminal I have to add in a null-modem connector (swap pins 2 and 3). I have used it…
Thanks for your details on the Bomac, I was considering it as the next step in my Amiga's evolution, and you're info helps a lot. As far as labels on my computer go, the only way you can tell I have an Amiga is if you can pick out the…
The lowest prices I've seen on hard drives are at Hard Drives International (1-800-927-3178). They have an 80 Meg Seagate(24ms) for $280. And for $620 you can get a 200 Meg Maxtor(15ms). If you find any lower, please tell me. Greg.
You're right, it sold almost immediately, now I can get the Mega-Chip I've been considering and didn't quite have the cash to buy. Greg
Ah, I see, I had no idea what a used XT was going for. Unfortunately no one even made an offer (to put me on the right track), so I had to go by my estimate of it's depreciation. Since, unfortunately, I bought it from a dealer about a year…
#XT Bridge-Still here!
Message #39880
I know there's got to be someone out there who still wants an XT bridgeboard, so I'll try a little harder: $275 A2088 XTBB with all original equipment(drive/dos/docs/box) $ 25 Serial port card (expandable) with docs $ 50 SCSI interface adaptor (can control 2 drives) with docs OR all 3…
I always used to have that type of problem with my old C= 1541 drive, whenever I powered down with the heads past track 35 it would require a manual reset to unlock it (although it was the opposite direction from the one you're saying).
Sale: A2088 + Acc.
Message #36762
"New lower price" Judging by the current going prices I'm re-offering the following items at a lower price (not that I wouldn't have considered any offer last time). A2088 Bridgboard with all original parts, docs, packaging and all the IBM things I've got for it. Including : Zucker serial /…
SALE:XTBB + Ser/Par/SCSI
Message #30402
I have the following obsoleted (by upgrade) items for sale: A2088 XT Bridgeboard with all original materials + packaging Also Zucker Serial/Parallel board and Seagate SCSI adapter for above. (I'm keeping my IBM hard drive for my new '386 machine.) First $425/obo takes all. I'll pay shipping. Leave me mail…
Yes, I know, somehow I got mine last week (by subscription). I was wondering why no one was talking about it. It looks like it will become a staple in my information diet. Too bad I didn't know you were including DICE as an extra on the disk, I wouldn't…
Bill, One idea, do you have 'Mount NULL:' before you start dmouse or use runback etc… also make sure that all programs that will keep running are RUN'd (I had safereboot in my startup without running it once and the computer just stopped when it got to it.) Hope it's…
If you hadn't posted this idea it was what I would've suggested next, VLT is known to work and citadel can run a batch file from the cli. For now, this might be the way to go, but would take a little bit of arexx and batch file programming, hmmm……
#13863-
Use XPR from CLI
Message #13940
I would try to write something of the sort, but by time I can program well enough to write a good version CBM would be coming out with the Amiga 5000. All I can do is the simple stdio type stuff they teach on VAXes at school, as soon as…
I thought the sign said 669600000 MPH (honest officer 🙂 Greg
Fortunately, I don't have to deal with the BB docs very much. Mostly my Amiga and IBM sides don't talk to each other on the user-interactive level. Just PC-disk and now timeserv/atime. I almost never use Aread/write and such. Although recently I've been using the two connected serially to test…
Yes, I have ver. 2, I just didn't catch the part that said I had to run ATIME to get the time from the PC side. Thanks for the help, now all my files won't be from Jan 1, 1980. Greg.
Ahh, I see, I wonder why they failed to mention this under the section about timeserv in the manual. Thanks muchly for your help. Greg.
As long as your on the subject, I never could manage to get timesrv to do anything for me. I double click it and then go to the pc side and it still doesn't know what time it is. Is this only good for setting the time if you already…
I also noticed that I could not re-boot RAD if I used the MoveSSP program, if you use both try removing the movessp.
I think you have to Format it before you can use it. -GG
***** Warning don't read any further if you don't want to know any clues about Neuromancer ********* First thing you do is add Larry Moe's BAMA id #062788138 (in my game) to the arrest warrant list for the chiba city tactical police (link= keisatsu). This will effectivly remove Larry Moe…
Mike, Yes, and in addition, it doesn't even have 1 16 bit address register, it would be SO much easier to move or clear any more than 256 bytes of data if it had one. Instead of: sta,x $c000 sta,x $c100 sta,x $c200 … Greg
Actually, I know much more about the 6502 than I do about the 68000 (can tell you that lda #$00 sta $d020 translates to a9 00 8d 20 d0, off the top of my head). And on my way home from work I was thinking of ways that 68000 asm…
I imagine that the amount of memory needed on the 6502 system just to simulate the 68000's registers and much larger stack would make it impossible to translate anything other than small programs, not to mention all the extra steps needed to actually calculate the addresses of operands (a simple…
If you don't have DAsm I know I do, I was referring to the doc file when replying. Let me know if you need it. -Greg.
Thanks for clearing that up for me, I wasn't quite sure what cross compiler meant, and didn't think that taking 6502 source and generating 6502 obj. could be cross compiling just because you happen to be running the assembler on a different CPU – guess I expected more from computer…
DAsm is a freeware PD program by Matt Dillon, it is located on Fish disk #287 and supports : 6502 68705 6803 HD6303 6811 It is not a cross assembler as far as I define one (takes 68000 and converts to 6502). It is, a multi-pass macro assembler which takes…
I've heard of an emulator called 'GO-64!' that let's you use a 1541 hooked up to the serial port of the amiga. I haven't used it , so I don't know how good it is. But along those lines, I would buy a 64 emulator if it could access 3.5"…
I snapshot-ed all my disk icons and it worked just fine, all but the ram: drive (of course). All I did about the ram disk was save a copy of it's disk.info in the s: directory and copy it to the ramdisk on boot-up. My disks now come up so…
I saved their name in my book a while back since they are an interesting company. I haven't had anything to say to them yet tho. Spectrum Holobyte 76004,2144 No. 19 , Marisa (I think is the rep's name) I always end up accumulating thing I haven't any use for,…
I had a problem similar to this a while back and I think what fixed it for me was spacing the icons a liitle further from each other. I think that if even a couple of pixels from the icons' borders overlap then they don't go back to their position.…
I used SAS once too(for about 30 min. :-), on an IBM 370. I could really make some pretty pictures. (although I don't think the authors would condone using SAS as a paint program 🙂 Greg
Silver Reed EXP400
Message #94228
I was wondering if you knew of a printer driver for a Silver Reed EXP400 or 500 or 550 and the file in which it would be saved. I tried using a printer driver generator program I found, but the result was not what I wanted. Thanks for any assistance,…
