Vicki, You are right that the 68030 is the CPU, and the 68882 is the floating point (math chip). I have a 2500, too, and have the same chips. If you have 2.1, then there will be an icon in your Tools drawer called ShowConfig. If you double click on it, it will tell you what is in your machine – how much memory, where it is located, what boards you have installed, etc. I have a bit of a problem with it, however. It opens a very narrow window and most of the text scrolls off the top before I can read it. I haven't tried to save it in a file or anything of that sort. I use SysInfo (from the libraries here) which shows graphically just what is in your Amiga, and gives you time to study it. The only way I've ever tried to change IFF to GIF or GIF to IFF is with a program designed to do that. There are some in the Graphics Utilities library of AmigaArts, and there are the commercial programs like ImageMaster and ADPRO, either of which can do it easily. I think your best bet for making the change in graphics format would be to use one of these programs. GVIEWS4.LZH, WASP.LHA, and AMGIF.LZH were the ones I noticed that seem to do what you want. There may be others. I know that Imagemaster and AdPro can do the conversions either way. I realize that your forum is extremely busy, and can see how it might take up most of your time! But we do like to have you come by. You brighten up the place a bit when you visit. —Betty
