Just thought I would drop you a line. Should be getting an A1200 (second
hand) in the next week or two, so I should be able to play around with AGA. If
I can I will try to fix the Amiga Real Time code to work on better machines etc
and merge with some other code/ideas I have (there is a file called something
like howto.lha that is about how to code assembler etc, there is some 3d stuff
in there as well). Now I also have the 3.1 native developers kit I should also
be able to use things like 3.0 dubble buffering and interleaved bit maps. If I
get anything good working then it's yours. See you around.
Phill.

Cool. B) Let me know how it turns out.

Yeah, I D/L'ed that one about six months ago. Interesting, but a little over
my head (for now ;). Somehow, I got the impression that doing things the
OS-legal way might be faster (i.e., the comments from Chris Green in the
foreword ;).

Lucky. >:( I guess it would be like Commodore to go out of business right when
I needed something, eh? 😉
Oh, wait — you said _3.1_ native developers' kit…does that mean that someone
is selling them?
>> If I get anything good working then it's yours.
Ooo, that sounds good. Thanks much. 🙂
– Jim, on AP!
Yes CBM UK are still selling the 3.1 native developers kit. You get the
includes/autodocs and some other documentation like changes made to each
subsystem. PCMCIA for 1200/600 as well :->. Kept me busy for a couple of days.
It costs 23 pounds from CBM UK, haven't got the address here 🙁 Where are you,
if you aren't in the UK then they may not send it to you.
Actually I got the a1200 now (only 2mb chip and 80mb IDE), but wha the heck, I
used to code on the CBM 64. The way it's going I might end up back on the old
thing 🙂
Off on holiday for a couple of weeks starting on the 11th of April, so I will
miss the April 21st auction :-<
I don't think that it is going to happen now though, the magic has started to
go out of the whole thing. A friend of mine that had a CBM128 & Amiga500 (1.2)
is looking to buy a pentium :-(. As far as I see, he is selling out (insert
text here on intel/microsoft conspiracy theory).
Funnily enough the hard drive on the a1200 wasn't formatted, the previous owner
was a coder, he had the source code from the realtime book on it and some of
his own. It's a bit naughty but I will load it up some time and see what
happens.
Damn a1200, the monitor I use on my a500 doesn't work on it. Although my a500's
modulator does work. The monitor is about 10 years old and was converted for
the 500 but the image is too dark on the 1200. I have to use a TV on it :-<.
WB3.1 works on KS3.0 🙂 (I bought it and only use it on one computer at once,
honest).
See ya Phill
