I'm interested in purchasing an accelerator for my A2000 and I'm interested in this productbut I'd like to know of any compatibility problems with software/hardware. I use Imagine quite often and…
Ernie, I didn't realize you were going to use it on a 2088BB. I also have a 2088BB, and with only 512K on it, I haven't been able to get it to work properly. I assume it's the lack of memory on the XTBB. I'm not too sure but it…

Mixing HD controllers
Message #53130
Just for my clarification, is there a problem with having two different types of HD controllers installed in a 2000? At the moment I have a Nexus SCSI controller, would an IDE HD paddle board conflict with it? Bruno Kochan 76665,376
I haven't upgraded to 2.0 as of yet, still at 1.3. But thanks for the info and I'll look into it soon. Bruno Kochan 76665,376

1.0 to 2.0
Message #35630
Hi, I have Imagine version 1.0 but never got around to upgrading to 1.1 since I was in the middle of moving at the time I received your newsletter concerning the upgrade info for 1.1. Now I see version 2.0 is out, how do I upgrade from 1.0 to 2.0?…

SerServer Hangs Up
Message #36140
Hi, I've tried to get SerServer up and running but it seems to reset the modem immediately after entering the correct password, it sends the ATZ reset string to the modem. Perhaps you can steer me in the right direction as to how I can correct this problem. My modem…

I've missed something here! I've been reading miscellaneous messages referring to Surface Master. I've also searched for the text file thatt is supposed to be in this forum but couldn't find it with the Amiga File Finder. What LIB did you upload it too. I'm interested in what your package…
USENET?!
Message #14682
When you do move o Ottawa, you could contact the Carleton U. BBS at 564-5651 and enter 'BBS' at the prompt. The sysop will let you know if you can get access to USENET through C.U. . BTW, I live in Ottawa! Bruno Kochan 76665,376
Too tell you the truth, I haven't had a chance to utilize the spooler yet, but I'll let you know how it works when I've had a chance to dump the load of docs I have on disk. Sorry I couldn't help you out right away on that subject, but…
You can use he PcCopy program from your Amiga Extras disk in conjunction with PcPatch (PD in one of the libs). These two programs together will let you transfer files between MSDOS and AMIGADOS using your external drive as an MSDOS 720K drive. Bruno Kochan 76665,376
I bought one at the World of Commodore show in Nov/90 and am quite pleased with it. I have a Quantum LPS105 hard drive on the card. It comes with some uility software for initializing/formatting/partioning the hard drive, backup software, host SCSI adapter, Print spooler and can hold up to…
Yes, if you have an external Amiga 3.5" drive, you can use PcCopy 9from your Amiga extras disk) along with PcPatch (which is available in one of the libraries) to read and write from/to MSDOS/Amiga format disks. You will need the PcPatch program to use PcCopy with the 3.5" drive,…
Library 9 of the AMIGAUSER forum has it, the file PCPATC.ARC for reading 720K disks (it is 7K) and PCPATC.ZOO for formatting 720K disks (it is 17K). Hope this helps!! 🙂 Bruno Kochan 76665,376
If he has an external 3.5" drive, he could use the PcCopy program that came with his system on the extras disk along with a PD program called PcPatch to enable the reading of 720K floppies. Without the PcPatch program, he'll only be able to read 360K 3.5" floppies. Good…
Sorry, I assumed you were doing this from within MS-DOS, I wasn't following the thread. 🙂 Bruno Kochan 76665,376
Try using the following syntax: 'format :/t:80/n:9' The /t:80 lets the system know that it is 80 trackmedia and the /n:9 lets it know that it is 9 sectors per track for 720K disks. This should work, also is disk driver in MSDOS stating that the drive is a 720K…
No problem, you never know unless you ask 🙂 Bruno Kochan 76665,376
You don't have to be formal 🙂 Bruno is fine! ` Are you more interested in CAD or paint or raytracing or etc…? 3-D raytracing is my favorite hobby on the Amiga, I'm using Imagine from Impulse at the moment, while I do use the FrameGrabber for doing videos for…

Delete the first two lines of the HDinstall script, which create and assign dir T: to RAM:, since it's already created from your bootup sequence from your hard drive. This should work, it's the procedure I used. Bruno Kochan 76665,376

A/B switch
Message #633
Patrick, I have the FG, a printer and an A2000, but no A/B switch bu they are available. Check with your dealer, they usually supply them. It is meant for switching between two peripherals, so it will work with all three elements. Bruno Kochan 76665,376

Thanks, I really appreciate any input that I can get before going out to purchase an accelerator board. Bruno Kochan 76665,376
Rumor now has it that it has gone under, previously the rumor around here (Ottawa, Canada) was that INFO mag was supposedly buying it out. But the way the economy is up here, the worst probably happened. Their phones weren't answered and neither was their mail. If you really want…

FrameGrabbing
