Amiga 2000, 3.5" drive, 80 meg hard drive, 2 megs of RAM, 4 megs of 32-bit RAM
with 68030 25mhz accellerator (CSA MMR), and a 68882 25mhz math coprocessor.
1084 Monitor. Sharp JX-100 scanner, and ASDG's scanning & image processing
software. V2 ROMS. IBM 286-Bridgeboard with 40 meg hard-card, serial-card,

No reasonable offer refused!

Would you be willing to trade for a laptop? Only problem is how would you get
the computer to SFO without having to pay megabucks in shipping exit/
Jumping in here (and trying to steal a sale <grin>) – I too have an A2000 w/
68030 upgrade (it's actually a factory assembled A2500). What kinda laptop do
you have? I live in the LA area and often come up to San Jose – perhaps if you
are really interested in the 2500 we can work something out. Drop me a line and
I'll give you a complete list of what I've got.

It's my business associate's compaq 386 with 60 meg. HD and I think 2 meg. of
memory. He sells computers so he always has something he's trying to get rid
of, unfortunately no Amigas. Do you have any toster connections?
I don't think so, as the laptop I want costs $4700. (486, active-matrix color,
etc).
If you are still interested in the Amiga system, give me an offer and I'll
either accept, decline, or counter-offer. How does that sound?
You might want to look at the Toshiba active matrix laptops… under 3
grand now, and they look _marvelous_.

Ben,
You can get their dual scan passive for less than 2 grand, and it's not
bad. Not as good as the active…but close.
Don
Not close to my eyes… we've got both at the office, and the active puppy
is not only clearer and brighter, and a *darn* sight faster. Live action
(video for windows and FLIC anims, for instance) is perfectly fine to
watch, where the passive displays just smear everything together.
I know, I'm spoiled. :^)

Ben,
Thanks for the tip. I'll check them out, Toshiba's are known to be good
laptops! Though the last time I looked at them, a small item annoyed me – the
location of the CNTRL & ALT keys on the keyboard were reversed. To a
touch-typist as myself, I rarely look at the keyboard – and I would make a
number of mistakes.
The other notebook that I like is the NEC one. Modular design, which
allows for upgrading almost every component. Though, I do like the
IBM one the best.. as it does have full multimedia capability with
its docking bay. Decisions, decisions… (took me 3-years to decide
on the car I wanted).
I go into "keyboard shock" every time I change machines. :^) My 1200
annoys the living tuna out of me because of that little unlabled key
next to the left shift which prints a < character. I say very bad
things when I hit it.
Isn't there some utility that lets you remap the unlabeled key to
something else, like a left shift? I know they have this for X
Window, and I thought I saw something like that around here.
I know what you mean about changing keyboards…. I go nuts when I have
to use a keyboard with the control key in the wrong place.

re: Utility to remap 1200 blank key from > to left shift
Um… could be, certainly, but I'm unaware of it. If anyone DOES know
of such a utility, I'd be most grateful if they could point it out.
Drives me bananas!
I think I may have found what you're looking for. There's a program
called KMAPED.LZH in library 15 that lets you mess around with your
keyboard map. I don't think you can remap the blank key to a left
shift, but you might be able to disable it. I just tried this
utility to create a keymap that disabled my "Del" key and it worked.
(Or rather, the "Del" key *didn't* work.) 🙂
Not sure if it'll work with a 1200, but it's worth a shot. Let me know if
it works.
Steve
Thanks – I've printed the message (thank you, autopilot) and will give it
a shot.
I use MachIV to remap those dead keys… (Now MachV)
Works great, though it does a lot more than that, so maybe it's not
what you want. (Good macro recording though, so maybe you do want
it!)
Thanks Bob but I prefer to keep things as vanilla as possible… I'll
try that remapper before I go the route of a "swiss army knife".
Those things make me nervous, I've had some really bad compatability
problems with some of them.
Same here about the compatability problems, but MachIV has been
better than most.
I have KeyMapEditor too, but it predates the 1200's keyboard, so it
doesn't work for remapping them for me. (Hopfully there's a newer
version, mines date 1991.)
Why the hell DID our beloved CBM include those two, dumb, blank keys?
Any ideas?
Those keys are probably used in a country where they need the extra keys. On
keyboards in the US, they're not needed, so they're just blank.
Steve
No… I have no idea whatsoever. Brain damage?
