Hello John, My name is Sy and I'm using my boss's account. I have the 2386 BB and am interested in the memory chips. You can ship COD to: Sylas Wiener c/o Rapaport Corp. Suite 600 15 W. 47th St. New York, NY 10036 if the chips aren't sold yet.…

BB mouse3.drv
Message #105532
Hello all, Does anyone know how to install the AMOUSE3.DRV driver supplied with the 386-BB into Windows 3.1? I tried the setup program from both DOS and Windows as the Windows manual suggests, but I keep getting an error claiming a missing OEMINFO file (I think that was the name).…
Greg – What's a zorro cage? jon
Ok, thanks for your clarification of the A1000. As for the original PC, I wouldn't mind buying one – it will definitely be highly collectable years from now! My programming, for all intents & purposes, started off on a Unix machine. So I am no stranger to multi-tasking. But I…
No, no. I don't own an Amiga. I am considering buying one and was voicing a concern (which was based on VERY sparse knowledge) about possible obsolescence. I appreciate all the info you, and others, have given me which will allow me to make a much more intelligent choice. Thanks…
Well, I wouldn't be so quick to say that the entire line of PC's is now obsolete because of the PS/2! The "only" difference (the number of XTs & ATs) that you mention is a BIG one. IBM PC clones are being manufactured cheaply and in great quantities. And OS/2…
Larry – Maybe I misinterpreted your own Don Curtis when he said that the A1000 will soon be a "has been" (sorry Don, but you may as well get some of the heat you said you would get ) and that any new items for the A1000 will dry up.…
How about the serial port – can one use a Hayes compatible (9 or 25 pin)? jon
How has that action of Commodore affected the feelings of those that want to go with the latest technology? I mean, if I had a 1000 I'd be pretty p'd off, and would have serious reservations about trusting a new machine to nonobsolescence! Even the IBM XT, as kludgy as…
Thanks for all the info, Don. Wonder why BridgeBoard went with a 4.77 processor if indeed "all" it is is a clone on a board? Anyway, for $4-5000 (which I can't blow on a computer system now) I think I'd rather get a full-blown 386 machine and run both Unix…
general amiga info
Message #97524
Well, it may be time to buy a new computer. I am coming from MS-DOS land and MUST have some MS-DOS compatibility. Have wanted an Amiga from the day it came out, and was wondering about the current state of Amiga affairs. 1) What is the status on MS-DOS capabilities?…

HELP THE AMIGA
Message #8738
It seems to me (and I don't own an amiga, but an MS-DOS machine) that Commodore needs to emphasize the business capabilities of the amiga for it to be successful. Especially the multi-tasking capabilities. Then they gotta port Unix/Xenix over to the machine and offer a complete development system. The…
