VistaLite Beta Testers Needed
—————————–
Chaocity still needs about another half a dozen beta testers for the
"Lite" version of VistaPro. Amiga 500, 600, 1000 or 1200 needed with 2
megs of memory. Send email to [75300,3706] if you are interested.
Clint <Chaocity>
P.S. In case you are confused, it will be published by VRLI, but is being
developed by Chaocity.
Clint,
I can offer help on the 1200. I have two. One standard, the other
with the MBX1230 accelerator card (68030 @ 33MHz, MMU, 2 chip, 1
fast), and 60Mb hard drive.
Peter:
Great! I will email you something later tonite.
Clint <VRLI><Chaocity>
Hey Clint I will give it a go I have an A2000 with a GVP '030 and 6 megs of
ram. I would like to test out the lite version. Oh I also run WB 2.0 and have a
DCTV.
Billy:
Thanks! I'll email you something later tonite. The Lite version
doesn't have DCTV support in it, as it had to be trimmed drastically to
fit our memory criteria. It does support HAM8 and 256 color mode on the
1200 though.
Clint <VRLI><Chaocity>
Clint:
Any chance of it supporting a 256 color mode with cards like the Picasso,
and/or GVP EGS card, etc that allow use of the screenmode requestor to
choose their modes?

Not for VistaLite. It's really tight for space right now, and if
people want the additional video support, they probably need VistaPro
anyway. VistaPro 4.0 will support as many additional cards as I can
squeeze in.
Clint <VRLI><Chaocity>
Clint,
Will VistaPro 4.0 support GVP's IV24?
Thanks.
David
David:
If I can get ahold of an IV24 for long enough to add support. I'll be
sending out letters to manufacturers around Nov 1 to see if I can get
loaner boards. I can't afford any new hardware purchases right now, so
it's up to the manufacturers, if they want to be supported, they will be
supported.
Clint <VRLI><Chaocity>
Clint,
Thanks for the Beta. Among other things, I shall give it to my fifteen
year old daughter to try. It's amazing what an unjaundiced eye can see.

Very definitely! My kids are among my best beta testers. <grin> They
have no preconceived notions as to what functions are supposed to work
together.
Clint <VRLI><Chaocity>
Clint,
Right!

Sound great! For now though, is there way to make VistaPro 3 just run
on a machine with a Picasso II car installed? I can't even make the
program load on my A4000/40/Picasso system. I never seem to get the
requester that allows me to pick a screenmode. Also tried going into my
Picasso 'Changescreen' program and forcing all NTSC and DNTSC screens to
bypass the card ahead of time, it still won't load.

Brick added Picasso support to a version of VP3, but hasn't sent me
the code yet. I will ask again, and send you a beta when I get it from
him. I have never had access to a Picasso myself, so it's hard to guess
just why the release VP doesn't like it.

I'd appreciate that a bunch, thanks!

No prob on the DCTV support. I can always convert using ADPro! Looking forward
to the E-mail hope I can help you out!
Billy:
If you didn't receive the first beta, let me know, I sent it out on
Saturday. I will normally try to send updates every week, or sooner if you
have discovered problems and I want to verify that they are fixed. Manuals
will be sent out in about 2-3 weeks.
Clint <VRLI><Chaocity>
I did not recieve the first beta on Saturday. Looking forward to recieving one
soon! Thanks Clint!
Billy:
Are you the only one who uses that account? According to CIS' postal
receipt, it was retreived from your account at 13:47 on Oct 2. I will send
it again, but let me know if your account is not "private".
Clint <VRLI><Chaocity>
I'd really be interested!
I have and A1200 with the M1230XA 50Mhz 030 and '882, 8M fast ram, 120M
HD, 2 regular floppy drives, 1 HiD floppy.

OK, I'll be emailing beta copies shortly. You're the last one, just
in case anyone else reads this. <grin>
Clint <Chaocity><VRLI>
Clint,
What a comedy of errors I am in this week! I use a clone for CIS, I
downloaded the file you sent, and unforyunately Crossdos won't give me an Icon
for VP to launch it on my Amiga…yikes…can you tell I'm rather new to
downloading files and converting them. I don't have a clue as to how to do this
so, I guess you might want to add another tester…unless you have a suggestion
on how to get this Dos file to become and Aniga Dos file…I repeat; Yikes!

Dave:
First thing you need is LHA to unarchive VistaLite. You will find
that in the Archivers/Crunchers Library here in 'User. Once you have it
decompressed, you can take your VistaPro icon, clone it for a VistaLite
icon if you want to run from WB. This early in Beta, I usually run from
CLI. I will try to put together an icon for the next beta.
