DRIVE PROBLEM...

I'm trying to install a CHINON FZ-352 drive to my A2000 as a DF1:

This doesn't work.....

I either get a report that there is a unreadable disk in DF1: (while there is
no disk in this drive).
The other thing is that I do not get a drive at all.

In the back of the drive there are dipswitches, wich are named as follows.
(the explaining is that what I think it is, please correct me if ness.)

TTL/C-MOS     CHOSE TTL/C-MOS
RDY           READY
DC            DISK CHANGE
MD
MM
DS0           DRIVE 0
DS1           DRIVE 1
DS2           DRIVE 2
DS3           DRIVE 3

I  did set the dip switches as follows :
TTL/CMOS, DC, MM, DS1 ----> the unreadable disk
TTL/CMOS, RDY, MM, DS1 ---> no df1:

changing MM to MF ---> no result/change

Help me, send response to this list or to me...

Subject: Re: C compilers

It has all the libraries to support ANSI and Gnu C.  It doesn't have the Amiga
specific libraries from Commodore.  I am attempting how to get a legal copy of
them.  I have heard of two ways to get them.  First buy a commercial C compiler
which will have them and a license to use them.  The second solution is to
purchase a license from Commodore, which I don't know how to do.

So, for learning how to use C it is great.  But without the Amiga specific
libraries it would be difficult, if not impossible, to use the full capabilities
of your Amiga.

Subject:      Re: A4000 and A1200 (!!)

To answer several questions...

Yes, 3.0 is no longer under non-disclosure.  However, I haven't seen the
release 3.0 yet, so I'd rather not get too specific about it.

That said, there is no technical reason 3.0 would not run on any Amiga.
I have no idea how Commodore will choose to market it (that's a marketing
question) or whether A500/A2000 ROMs will be made.

There is *lots* more in 3.0 than has been mentioned in the press releases.
Most of the new stuff is deep in the guts of graphics.library, so it doesn't
encapsulate nicely into a press release the way the 2.04 "new look" did, but
there are serious, substantive changes to the OS--enough that the "3.0"
label is not unreasonable.

Subject:      ST412 -> Amiga?

I recently acquired a HD from a pc and have since discovered it to be a st412
MFM jobbie. Now, the next question is: can I connect it up to my Amiga. I
don`t suppose it is possible but I just thought some smart person out there
might have an answer. I was wondering if I could maybe rip out the board
from underneath and replace it with one from a bust SCSI or IDE drive? If so,
I could then buy the Ad IDE or Ad SCSI interface. At the moment I am running
my A500 on floppies so I am sure you will take pity on me.

        Thanx,

                Paul.

No Matt, you're not missing the point at all.  Leave Out is the way to do it.
I've been using WB2.04 for some time, but just never needed that feature and
even having read the manual had forgotten it.  Frankly, it seemed like a silly
thing to do until this current project.  BTW, the disk you're leaving out must
be write enabled and a file called .backdrop is created at the root level.
This is an ASCII file and can be edited with any text editor.

Also, --never shying away from embarassment!-- I finally recalled that the
startup.qed file is in fact an Arexx macro.  Even though I have Arexx on these
machines, in the stripped version of the startup-sequence I had thoughtlessly
removed the "rexxmast >nil:" command necessary to enable Arexx.  Reinstating
that command allows Qed to find its defaults.

Well, someone has done that, apparently. I recieve mailings from the list

That would be close to my dream machine (I don't really see myself needing
something along the lines of a 4000/3000 type machine.) I would just LOVE to
have the new chipset/workbench in a faster machine! And the price is great!
Here's hoping that this will come true...

Hello Bridgeboard users out there.  I have successfully installed Windows 3.1
on my A2286 Bridgeboard and everything works fine except...

I am unable to access my 1.2 M floppy drive.  When I try to hit it, it just
flashes the light for a second, then the light goes out, the light flashes,
and then goes out.  Windows keeps this up for a few seconds, and then gives
up, telling me that I need to put a disk in it.

I know that the A2286 BB has problems DMA'ing to the floppy.  Is this the
problem?  Can DMA to the floppy be turned off in some sort of configuration
file?

Subject:      Bridgeboard Psuedo Hard Drive

I remember reading (somewhere) a year or so ago that there is something out
there that will allow a Bridgeboard owner that uses the 'MakeAB' type hard
drive for the Bridgeboard (i.e. a partition of an Amiga installed HD that
will autoboot on the PC side) operate faster.

Does anyone out there know if this truly exists, or if there is any other
way to speed up access to this drive on the IBM side?

Thanks in advance,

Mike,
        I also had this problem.  I was using a Star Gemini 10X, but the
Epson driver.  I found a solution which works for me... :)  You have
suggested it above, copy the parallel.device (I think that is the proper
name) from your 1.3 disk into the DEVS: directory and use it instead of
the one that comes with 2.04.  I would suggest you rename the 2.04 one
first so you keep a copy around.  My local C= dealer said he has had to
do this for a couple brand new A2000s that were shipped with WB2.04 as
well.  

        When I posted this problem, most of the responses I got were
that my CIA chip(s) were bad.  I have had no other indications, and
since this works for me, I have not replaced the chips.  Your mileage
may vary :)

        Good Luck!
rick
