	Try formatting it now, once you leave HDtoolbox you have to
format the drive, doing a normal FFS format, that should fix your
problem.

If I remember right, you need to execute the HurricaneConfig command before
running setpatch (setpatch turn on the data cache of the 030, that's what
crash your computer).

I should illaborate a little more on that.  I use my Amiga for everything one
can think of..BUT.  I do Professional DTP work work using ProPage, Pagestream,
and Final Copy II.  The Amiga is a fantastic machine and offers superb input
and most of all unequaled output.  I am therefore responding on behalf of a
professional standpoint and a standard user standpoint.

Yes, sure, else everyone would have already done it :-). The PC slots
are simply not connected to anything from the Amiga side! They just
carry some power lines, and else all the signal lines of all PC slots
are connected on their bus, but that's it. You need some "bridgeboard"
that plugs into a PC slot *and* an Amiga slot and carries some electronics
to make this PC bus accessable.

There are two kinds of bridgeboards:
a) Active ones that carry a whole PC or AT on them. Examples are the
   Commodore ones A2088, A2286, A2386SX and the Vortex (?) GoldenGate card.
b) Passive ones that just connect the PC bus as a peripheral bus to the
   Amiga bus. There we have as examples the GoldenGate II as a Public
   Domain project by David Salamon (yes, there is a name collision with
   that other GoldenGate card!); plus some new cards from Germany like
   OmniBus and one other (name escapes me, sorry). The latter two are
   specialized to make only VGA cards available on the Amiga bus,
   nothing else, where the GoldenGate II also can access other I/O cards.

And as last point, you also need software drivers to get your data on
such a card. The Amiga OS will make this easier with RTG announced
for OS 4.0.

Are you _sure_?  I thought that the ROMS on the drive needed to be able to
deal with the format of the CD rom.  (Multiple Sessions?)...

Anyway, I believe that Chinon is offering an upgrade deal to their CDX-431
drive... something like $125 will upgrade the drive to read FotoSeeDy.  

seems like a little steep for a consumer licence....

   You should be okay mechanically, but... Backup the disk in its
current position, then install it in the machine, reprep and reformat,
then reinstall the data.  (It helps to run it for an hour or two in
its new position first, just sitting there turned on.)  This should be
done whenever moving a disk from a horizontal to a vertical position
or vice-versa, otherwise you can get read errors once the bearings
settle into their new position.

My 1084 monitor has recently started giving me problems (it's a bit more
than 3 years old).  In the middle of the screen I get black spaces between
the pixel rows, basically is stretches the 13th row of characters (on a 25
row display) to about twice it's normal height.  The portion of the 
screen below that is slightly compressed, and the portion above seems
pretty much normal.  The problem isn't always there, sometimes I'll turn
on the monitor and it will be clear for 15 minutes, but eventually the
black lines pop up again.  
Has anyone had any experience with this problem?
Does anyone have any suggestions about the cheapest way to get it
fixed (ie. might it be simple enough to fix myself, or is that too
stupid to even dream of)?
The fact that it comes and goes makes me suspect it isn't all that
serious... something loose maybe.  Ideas, anyone?

Last week I  picked up one of the Commodore 2630 cards ('030 with MMU, 4 megs 
on the card) which are being sold at fire sale prices.  The card  was  plug 
and play, but the  six megs of 16 bit memory I had on an 8-Up card are now 
less than useful.  Does anyone have a collection of tips or information on the 
2630 they could E-Mail me?  Especially if there is some way to use my old 
memory card..  Oh, and I also have a 2088 Bridgeboard in the machine to 
complicate things.

Pagestream is no longer drudgery, but a pleasure.  I was right in the middle 
of producing a six page newsletter for our Radio club.  The first half was 
done with the 68000 and the last with the 2630.. What a difference!

It appears that the ability to hold both mouse buttons on reset to get a 
choice of CPU is overridden by my 2.04's boot selection menu.  How  do I 
activate the 68000 under 2.04?

Thanks in advance for any tips..

done inorder to realize the full 1 Meg of Chip RAM.
The reason I ask is that I installed the Fatter Agnus in my machine and
it is only showing 512K of Chip Ram available, but it is showing that it
is the ECS Agnus in the configuration.  In the workbench 2.x installation 
guide it does say that "other modifications" need to be done, which you
should have done by an Authorized Dealrer.  I am no where near a Amiga store
so would like to do these modifications myself.  If anyone out there know

When I got my 4000, I was unable to get sprites to work.  They just
wouldn't appear on the display.  After asking about this, I got a few
replies which said things like, "You problem is caused by overscan",
or "your workbench screen is too far to the left".

However, after playing with it a little more, I'm still not convinced,
and I'm wondering if it could be a hardware problem with my machine.
I have tried the following:

  * Use a 640x200, non-overscan workbench, in 2 planes, moved as far
    right as prefs will allow, in plane old NTSC mode (no DBLNTSC or
    anything fancy like that).  Still no sprites.

I've tried it all.  I've tried games which use sprites in 320x200
screens.  I've tried programs which display sprites on the workbench
screen.  I've tried programs which use sprites on custom screens.  I've
tried demos which use sprites.  I've reduced overscan to the absolute
minimum permitted by the preferences tools, and used the overscan
editor to move the display area all around.  Still nothing.  The
symptoms are univerally the same: the programs run OK, but no sprites
are displayed (except my cursor).

What are the chances of such a thing being caused by a hardware
problem with my machine?

I couldn't find a cable ANYWHERE, so I made it myself.  I used the
S-Video cable that came with the VCR, and cut/stripped it to show the 2 sets
of wires in the S-video cable.  Then I put the A1084s into the split chroma/
luminance mode, and plug in RCA cables that I had similiarily stripped to the
wires.  Then, using the luminance RCA cable, try finding the wires off the
S-video that will give you a black & white picture.  Once that's done, tape up
the cable, and the other group should hook up to add in the color!

Took me all of 10 minutes from stripping the cables to finishing up the
tape-up of the spliced wires.

Good Luck!  Its worth your effort.

You don't have to recompile.  There is an option to use other qualifier
keys including the MMB instead of the default text qualifier Left Amiga.

If you start Snap from a shell:
snap -tMIDBUTTON

Or from its icon - Use the Tooltype:
TEXTQUAL=MIDBUTTON

So to snap just press the MMB and the LMB.  To paste; MMB and RMB>

Note: You must be using the latest version of snap 1.61.
