Hi.

I've got a Microbotics 8-UP ram board for the A2000 and I need to know
if it *requires* CAS before RAS DRAMS.

Any info would be appreciated since the documentation didn't have any.

 Yes exactly... I don't want to hear all about this "Well you can buy a
KWICKSTART Board.." I shouldn't need to.. In fact why should I have to BUY
the new roms in the first place.. seems if C= wanted to keep happy loyal
customers they could offer them out as a good dealer..

 And too many people here on the net are the WHY should C= support the
sickly spindly ole 1000 types.. WHY? Because some of us cannot upgrade
to a 2000 or 3000. We have sunk hundred if not thousands into our machines
and we want to be able to use this machine... Too many have the 'Well I own
a 2000/3000/2500.. why should I bother' type of mentality and its that type
that make more and more amiga users drop out.. Here localy I have seen 3
amiga 500 users drop out and buy clones because of a lack of support locally
and a general I don't care attitude from C= down to other users...

I have recently been given a TV Tuner which connects into the SCART socket of
my C= 1081 monitor (which now works - thanks guys!).  Unfortunately I also have
my Amiga connected to the SCART socket.  Therefore I`d like to use the monitor`sRGB socket.  I have no idea how to do this but someone`s making a lead for me.
If anyone could fill the gaps or correct the following information I`d be 
grateful.

green		3			8
blue		4			7

earth		6			?

v.sync		8			12

The monitor socket is numbered from the top middle hole clockwise:
8,6,1,4,2,5,3,7.

Please EMAIL me if possible as I'm on Summer Vacation and can`t get to a 
terminal too often.

Thanks

There's a hard disk as well?  All the memory it uses is onboard?  How
many port connections can you stuff into the back of a slot the height
of a PC case? 

I'm not being skeptical or critical, but why not EISA?  How difficult
would it be to adapt it to a ZorroIII bus?

 Hello Dennis.  Sorry (and surprised) to hear there is no Amiga dealer in
 Regina.  Basically to answer your questions, the 3000 has room for 3 3.5"
 bays (although if you pile 1/2 height drives on top of each other, you
 have room for six - in theory).  It has 4 slots (and a CPU slot) which
 includes a video slot, 2 Amiga/Bridgeboard slots and a plain Zorro II/III
 slot (in other words, up to four zorro II/III cards).  I believe the power
 supply is 150 watts.  It is a very nice compact computer - I own one.
    
 The 3000T is a LARGE tower configuration with enough room to satisfy just
 about anyone.  It uses two fans and a 280 watt power supply.  It has (I
 think) internal room for 4 (or 5) 3.5" and 3 5.25" devices.  It has 5
 zorro II/III slots (2 of which are Amiga/Bridgeboard slots and one of
 which is a video slot), 2 additional PC slots, and the CPU slot.  The
 motherboard is larger but includes the same functional capabilities as the
 3000.  I do not know the size of the case, but it is BIG.
 
 Any future C= models are not public knowledge but certainly software
compatibility should not be a problem (assuming 68040 processor). 
Improvements to the chip set are supposed to be backwards compatible as
well.
  
 If you are serious about buying one of these computers and wish to avoid
 paying provincial sales tax, Medicine Hat has two dealers (one real, one
 who orders everything from C=).  I can arrange things with one of the
 dealers so that you pay only 10% above dealer cost (plus shipping, plus
 GST).  E-mail me if you want more info.

I have heard, that with an SGI Iris-INDIGO you can do this, and also
with DAT-Drives.

Here in Germany we have a A2000/A3000 Card named "Maestro".
This card has one optical and one coaxial Digital-input.
You can "digitize" direct from a Digital-output of a CD-Player or DAT
with 16-Bit, 44,1 Khz. Price: 250,- DM (German Marks)

I think 88 Mb is the unformatted (raw) capacity. That is usually what the drive
manufacturers advertise. (My Quantum 105 formats to 100 Mb and The SyQuest 44 Mb
drive I have formats cartridges to 42 Mb.) Formatted capacity varies somewhat
from computer to computer.

Similarly, DS DD 3.5" floppies are 1 Megabyte raw capacity (and they format to 
880K for Amigas, 800K for Macs, and 720K for IBM PC compatibles).

It might be you need to turn re-selection off.  My GVP controller comes with
software to do this.  Also, try BTNTape 2.1 and see if that works Ok.  I have
the same tape drive and a GVP series II type controller and have used GVP's
TapeStore, QuarterBack, AmiBack and BTNTape successfully...

Sounds like the program MMR_BootDRAM I wrote about 6 months ago :).  In any
case, releasing this can't hurt, as there are undoubtedly more people out
there who could use it.  In fact, I would not mind seeing it in action myself.

An aside note: You can't get exec into the 32-bit memory space with this
method.  To add the memory to the system free lists, exec must be up and going,
and at that point it exists already outside the target memory space.

The MMR in my 2000 worked fine with a GVP HC+8 with 4 megs.  I have not tried 
a ZorroII card in my 2000 that the MMR would not work with.  Hardware 
compatibility is excellent.

The 32 bit dram will help more than the static ram.  On my 25 MHz MMR, I was 
seeing speeds around 1.5x - 3.5x with no dram or static ram.  Adding 2 megs 
of 32 bit dram and turning on the instruction and data caches boosted the 
speed to 9.5x.  The static ram is primarily intended for copying kickstart to.
It can be used as fast memory but it would be used up *real* quick. 

> Lastly, if I DO just get the 512K of static ram, will loading the 2.0 ROMs

With my MMR, I copy kickstart into dram (I have the MMU version).  The tests 
provided with the MMR indicate a 3.5x increase for things like setpen() and 
writepixel().  Screen changes are noticably faster.  Don't know how the system 
would respond with only static ram.

Be aware that due to the MMR not being able to do DMA, that your hard drive 
speeds may drop significantly.  Careful tuning can bring the speeds back up
a little though.  Actually, with the faster processing speeds, I really don't 
notice the slightly slower disk access.
 
> Thanks for any help.
  
You're welcome.  I've been quite pleased with my MMR for the 18 months that 
I've had it.  If you want any more information about my experiences with 
a MMR, please email.

I've got an Amiga 2000 wb2.05 (ks 37.175,wb 37.71), VXL-030 40mhz, 
	    HardFrame 1.9 with 2 Seagate hardrive, 8up with 6mb 
	    and an Archive Viper 150 (21247-603)

This is my Tape information :	

	Drive type	Sequential
	I/O mode	Asynchronous
	Block Type	Fixed
	Auto Tape size	Yes
	Bu buffer (x2)	32k 		(would it make a different if I
	RS buffer	32k              increase the buffers ?)
	Auto retension	off
	Tape Append	on
	Device		HardFrame.device
	SCSI ID		5		(It's external and terminated)
	Block Size	512
	Tape Size	not given
	MaxTransfer	128 (Blocks)

 When I want to backup to the Viper, it starts to read the directory of
 the harddisk and start to write the information to the tape (tape 
 movement)(I guess it just wrote the index to the tape), then it rewinds 
 the tape (rewind message) and then stops with this message :
 "Error writing to backup tape. SCSI: Medium Error".
 If I test it with another program it says "Tape Error #3 (Medium Error)"

 I'm sure the streamer is fine, but could it be just an Tape problem ?
 Even if I erase the tape before hand, and rewind it, it gives the same 
 error. Any clue ?

I recently added 32 bit memory to my A2000 and VXL-30.  My question
concerns F-16 Falcon.  Before I added the 32 Bit memory, I was able
to run Falcon with no problems.  Now, I have to disable fast memory
to run.  Since the only change was the addition of 32 bit memory, 
I am looking for a reason!  The memory was 60 ns burst mode memory,
2 MBs worth. 
  1) Is the burst mode causing the problem?
  2) What type of software problem would cause a program not to run
     with 32 bit memory when it runs fine with 16 bit fast memory.
I have an A2000, 1 MB chip, 4 MB 16bit ram, 2 MB 32bit ram, 40 Mhz VXL-30.
If I run degrader and remove all fast ram, it runs fine.  I have been 
puzzling over possible alignment problems looking for a reason, does 
anyone have ideas why this is so??
