  You've missed the point with appletalk.  Its not meant for "heavy-duty
large scale networking" as you put it.  Its only a serial port running
at 230 kbaud.  Its excellent for small businesses who want to connect
three or four machines together or us home users with 2 computers...
If you grow to a large scale network, ethernet/arcnet/token ring is 
the way to go.  But that technology costs more.  Why saddle the guy
who wants to connect two pc's together with that cost?

  For large installations, yes.  For they guy who wants to connect 2 pc's

Well.. if it is for Ray tracing purposes.. and money is no issue (which of course
it is.. but with time prices will drop) then have you looked at Rembrandt or
Vivi24...
   Rembrandt has the TI34020 with one coprocessor,  a dedicated graphics
processor which should speed your work CONSIDERABLY (especially if the shading
algorithms support SAGE)
  Vivid comes in modules, but will allow a maximum of four co-processors
(graphics dedicated) to be plugged in..  They both will allow resolutions of at
least 1024x1024.. depending on Ram, etc... and they are fully programmable to
your frequencey selections... 

  surprisingly enough... they even claim real-time shading, which means you could
run a not-very complex animation in real time on them...  Well...  look into
them...


    Good Luck

Really, you would be much better off with a cheap 24-bit graphics card such as 
Retina from MacroSystems. The "use-A1200-as-a-graphics-card" suggestions would 
be as incompatible as any custom graphics card, and ParNet would leave you 
with a really slow bandwidth. Besides, Retina offers you true 24-bit graphics 
at 700*600 pixel resolutions and 256 colour resolutions up to 1280x1024, still 
with a palette of 16.8 million colours, much better than the AGA chipset. And 
finally, it will cost you less the A1200, as will other graphic cards too.

And with a bit of luck, drivers will maybe be written to allow you to use the 
card under future versions of the OS that will support the use of custom 
graphics cards. Maybe.

Any ham radios with serial ports that I've seen use the port to control
the radio, i.e tune it, set memories, etc. Only the very expensive ones
(> $2000) have the necessary hardware built-in to decode satellite
info.

To process the weathersat data usually requires a bit of extra hardware
that plugs into the headphone socket and demodulates the audio. That info
can then be processed by a computer.

I think that a company called BlackBelt makes such programs (& hardware) for
the Amiga. There are usually quite a few adverts for things like that in the
Ham radio magazines.

Yes. The third is CDROM-FS from Canadian Prototype Replicas,

Asim and Xetec file systems are both supposed to be able
to read ISO-9660, High-Sierra and HFS (Mac) format discs.
Amiga discs are supposed to be ISO standard.
Xetec supposedly includes software for additional support
of CDTV discs, while CDROM-FS doesn't yet support HFS.
Unfortunately, the ISO standard has many options, and the many
producers of CD-ROMs have managed to exercise all of them.

>How much are they?  

Street prices are about $40 for both AsimCDFS and CROM-FS.
Xetec is about $10 more.

>Has anyone out there had experience with either of them? 

I have both CDROM-FS and AsimCDFS.
I haven't tried Xetec's software.

The current version of CDROM-FS can read more of the ISO variants 
than can the current version of AsimCDFS. 
A new release of AsimCDFS is due Real Soon Now.

> Are the new NEC drives the fastest?

Sony is also making double speed drives.
Apparently they're only available in Apple Macintoshes for now.

  Can you expand on this "disk"?  It sounds like you already have SANA II
drivers, for something.  I wasnt aware of any SANA II drivers being 
available from anybody to date.

  I guess I should admit that I drew up the schematic for the parallel
port Arcnet adapter.  Funny how that thing gets around.  I'm glad I 
marked it preliminary, since last week a little birdie visited my
mail box with news that will force me to change the network connector.
I'm awaiting further details before I release rev B of the schematic.

  KA9Q would be a good choice if your network is TCP-IP.  I guess it

Sorry, the answer is no.  The A590 has SCSI-device address 7
(hardcoded), and couldn't be changed, so that's one of the reasons.

Nope.  The A590 wouldn't startup (power to the drive is switched by

And why do you want to know this anyway (if i may ask)?  Want to

Does it really?  If it does, these basement hackers have lots something
over the last 5-10 years.  Do you think their forerunners sat around
waiting for the C64 or C128 internals to be documented?  Hell no!  In
fact, it was one of these guys, not anyone at C=, who found how that
interlace mode in the C128 80 column chip actually worked (we thought it
was broken, when in fact the designer forgot to fully document it before
moving to Texas).  Real hackers don't need C= to document anything; 
they'll get together on the nets and figure it out for themselves.

That's exactly right.  It actually goes a bit further, though.  If C= 
publicly gives out the register level details of the AA chips, no what 
the disclaimers, they have in some way officially sanctioned the idea 
that someone needs to know these details.  It's much harder to blast
someone for acting on information C= supplies than acting on some hacker's
notebook.

I just finished a harrowing 2-day torture session trying to get a Q240LPS to
"work 'n' play nice" with a Toshiba CD-ROM drive.

The Q240 would grab the SCSI bus, and hand on for dear life.

(The host adaptor was a GVP Series II SCSI +8 RAM, with 4.5 roms in it)... 
The quantum has Version 4.6 roms... The latest version is 5.7 :)> ... (if
your roms say 6.4, never mind, you can't change 'em :))

Changing jumper J2 on the gvp board to short pins 2-3 has solved the problem
in the interim, we are waiting for the new roms from Quantum.

Is the DMI (I'm assuming this refers to the DMI resolver??) in
any way transparently incorporated into the OS?  Is this a card
that will let me put public screens on it or just something
that I can show pictures on?
