Oh oh, after I wrote that mail I build a 23 pin to 9 pin cable ( to a NEC-multysync).

Hmmmm.

I just got a replacement A1200 compatable PC880B drive for my A1200,
and it has full HD mechanism in it, i.e. including the HD hole sensor.
I tried formatting a HD disk in the drive, with the result that the
drive spun at half the speed, formatted at half the speed, and
produced a completely standard 880k floppy. Bah!

I have heard that Commodore has made a SCSI-II controller for

controller in the A3000. Can anyone verify this?
I have also heard about a controller called Fastlane23 (or something

Considering that there were A3000T's w/ HD drives in them pre 2.1
I would think it's in the 2.04 ROM code...and has little to do
with the software...then again I am going purely on what I've seen.

  Ya, Tenex reduced their prices of their 40 meg version to $799.  $899 with
the 85 meg is very good!  I have ordered my AIR Drive from AmigaMan and they
are VERY prompt, have VERY good prices, and have a neat, reasonably thick

That's a type C) monitor by my standards. The type C) monitors range from
20-30 kHz to somewhere in the range of 40-70 kHz. The basics are the same,
though -- they can't display the 15kHz PAL/NTSC modes.

Not very. I have one in the monitor list I posted a few days ago:

Company:   IDEK/Iiyama North America
Price:     $1,275
Size:      17"

Dot Pitch: .31 mm

I hadn't checked for fragmenting wiht my 4MB SIMM, but I -did- find that
Deluxe Paint IV would not run with the DROM option, but it did with SetCPU.
I think there's something going on with CSA's hardware trick to map it without

The problem is that the CLI-window should not be opened until the Screenmode
is set properly, so up to the command run IPrefs no output is allowed to
the window. If this is done properly, no window will open, until the
Screenmode is set properly. Unfortunately some CLI-Commands try to output
something (or access the Output-Filehandle). Most of them can be used
with >NIL: <NIL:, so that they don't output anything. Other commands don't
work even this way (e.g. the setmap-command). They always force opening
of the window (and of the screen in the wrong mode). Just don't use this
commands before the IPrefs. (I had to move my setmap d-command just
after IPrefs). 

For the second question: Don't use any system-configuration file.
I think this is just a relict from the old WB1.3-days. Under 2.0
(and up) you can't edit the system-configuration-file anymore, although
it is read on booting. If you really want to change it, you must use 
old 1.3-Preferences. But under 2.0 there is no need in this file.
Delete it and use the usual preferences which store their information
in ENVARC: from where it is copied to ENV: when booting...

If you write optimised 68040 code (floating point, caches and using one
or two new commands) it will definetely not run on a 68030. And 68040
optimised packages for ultimate performance are already coming righ now.
There is a 68040 optimised version of Lightwave which is more than 10 times
faster running on 28MHz 68040 card than on a Amiga 3000 (68030 25MHz).
Also REAL3D is coming in 68040 optimised version being currently 8 times
quicker than an Amiga 3000 running it on a 28MHz Fusion-Forty 68040 board.

I bought an SVGA monitor (made by TVM) about six months ago, and it worked 
flawlessly in PAL (and NTSC of course), despite the manual saying it could
only handle 60Hz. It died the other night, and I got a replacement the next
day (one model higher, since the old one was no longer in stock!), which
also works fine in PAL, and the manual says it can go from 50Hz->80Hz.

I don't know which other monitors this is true for, but I'd imagine there
is a reasonable amount of tolerance. Perhaps 50Hz for my original monitor
worked, but was bad for it, and that's why it died. ;-) ;-)

Hi,

     I have got an AMIGA 2000 with an GVP A3001 ( 030/882 28Mhz 4Mo ) 
accelerator, and i want to buy an Hard Disk for my 2000/A3001. But in 
France, nobody can tell me what type of ATBUS IDE HD i can put on the A3001 
board.

     So, is there somebody who can tell me what sort of HD can i buy to work 
with an A3001 ?


Thanks.

Hello,

A somewhat reliable rumor from the local Amiga store via the World of
Commodore in Toronto (this was what the printed news-blurb said) says
Commodore is considering upgrading the CDTV with a possible cpu board
swap (ala A1200 type preformance) as well as expanding the CDTV
technology across the rest of the Amiga line.  Anyone got details, or
lack there-of yet?
