Dom;
Try a computer dealer on the mounting adapter. I am pretty sure that the
Rodime will only use a "normal" 3.5 to 5.25 adapter. That is an adapter
that would adapt a regular floppy would work. A few manufactures' adapters
rely on non-standard mounting holes present on their own drive but most do
not. If you get one that uses the normal 3.5 mounting locations then all
should be ok.
From a software standpoint, you don't need anything on the flicker fixer.
It is virtually transparent as far as the amy is concerned. Once it is
hooked up it will work except that there is a phasing adjustment that may
need to be made (small hole in the mounting bracket). The phasing may need
to be adjusted if you see a small amount of jitter in the image. If you
don't have a flicker fixer manual and MicroWay or CBM won't send you one,
let me know as I should have a spare around here somewhere. Some add on
video hardware will occassionally have problems with the flicker fixer. If
you encounter such problems, give MicroWay a call as they are VERY good
about helping with problems.
Welcome to the world of Amiga. It may take you awhile to get used to
multitasking but once you do, nothing else will please you! Also, on this
forum…."the only stupid question is the one that you don't ask!" You
will find that most folks here will go to a lot of trouble to answer any
questions that you might have. Many of us sat in front of that original
A1000 with almost nothing in the way of documentation and prayed for
someone to talk to that could share experiences.
