The testing that I stated was done in Amiga mode.
 
As stated in previous EMPLANT specifications, you must have no less than 2
megs of memory to run the MAC emulation.  You must have no less than 3
megs to use MAC's System 7 software (hey, that is an Apple requirement,
not us).
 
A stock Amiga runs at 7.16Mhz.  A MAC II runs at 15.66Mhz (at very least)
and is a 68030 as well.  So, you will see more like AMAX speeds when using
a stock system with our MAC emulator.

Well, I got a new Goldstar Non-Interlaced monitor and VGA card
today.  I installed it in my system, and went to boot.  I have been operating
without the 5 1/4" inch drive power cable installed (long story, but the power
was diverted to the HD).  I haven't had any problems booting 2286 at all, it
always boots from the Partition.  Well, today, I hooked up the power to the 
drive, and I get an error that goes :
1) boots, runs through the memory and states :
Ram Test 640k OK
Testing Memory over 1 MB
Total Memory = 1024 kbytes

2) then when going to access the internal drive, I get :
Drive 0 configuration error

Boot Failure, chech disk and hit any key to try again.

This is a recent problem, and I have reseated the board, moved the board to the
other slot, taken the BridgeBoard out, taken the Oak Technologies Video board
out, and still the same error...
My system is a 2500/030 with the VGA card and a serial card.
Any suggestions would be appreciated,
Thomas.

   I would also recommend getting a hard card for the bridgeboard. Using the

amazed at the speed increase when I added one to my system.

Subject: GNU-plot problems
Date: 2 Sep 92 23:27:53 GMT
Organization: Stanford Linear Accelerator Center


  Hello all,

    I recently got version 3.1 of GNUplot by FTP (yeah... I know there's
a 3.2 version, still looking for it...).  I downloaded it and uncompressed
it without a hitch on my A2000 (2.04, GVP SeriesII HC with a 50 Meg disk
and 2 MB RAM).  After running gnuinit (thus setting the GNUENV variables to
reasonable values... like 640x400 screen), I run GNUplot.  The program will
not guru right away, but will usually wait until I "load" a demo or try to
use the online help.  When I "plot sin(x)," I get a nice plot and an immediate
exit to the terminal, but the program will guru soon after that, depending
on what I do.  Is this version *really* that unstable?  Even when I don't
have funny PD things running in the background, GNU-plot is unstable to the
point of being worthless.  Booting under 1.3 (MultiStart board) doesn't help.
Is this a problem with the so-called "amiga" term that's included with the
package?

  Has anybody out there had this experience with GNUplot?

It may be that you're using NickPrefs.  I tried running Final Copy with and
without NickPrefs just to prove it, and without NickPrefs, Final Copy did NOT
crash.

One solution is to use ToolManager's Hotkey feature to get the Help key to 
do something else.  Because of this, I have never noticed this problem.  
(I use the Help key to pop-up a shell window.)

We are encountering a problem with the CG in the Toaster.

When compiling a new page, we are getting a character-wide white (rectangular)
smear over the central letter on the first line of the page.

The problem can be eliminated by:
	1) entering a spacebar space in an empty first line or
	2) type around the area when creating the first line.
Obviously most of the time you can avoid the problem by using 1), but it isn't
always practical, especially if you are building a full page of text which
doesn't allow insertion of a space or empty line.

Also...can anyone give me a source for additional Toaster fonts?

Thanks...Henry (dunsmore@upei.ca)

Included with Pagestream is some conversion utilitys for Mac fonts.
I got a little confused when I read the info about them, so I'll put
a question here:

What I want to do is work with Pagestream on my A3000T and print the
result on an Apple LaserWriter NTX on a Mac net at work. What do I
need to do?

Both my A3000T and the Mac can read/write DOS 1,44MB diskettes, so
the physical transfer is simple.

Should I take the fonts on Mac that the LaserWriter supports, convert
the to Pagestream format so they can be used on the Amiga and then
just print it to a PS file? When I move that file to the Mac, how
can I print it, import it as an EPS object into Pagemaker (thinking
of one-page documents) or is there a better solution?

   Good idea, I've been using ToolsDaemon for quite some time now. I also put
ToolsPrefs as the first menu choice (after Reset WB) which makes it very easy
to add new programs to the menu.

It is $109 U.S. for the upgrade.

And Yes, it works under 1.3, but you need 2.x to get the file requester
in the editor.  Under 1.3, you still use the same old interface where
you have to type the name directly - no requester.

It depends on what you install.  The installation program gives you
the choice of installing/not installing lots of individual pieces of
the system.  The system will work fine if you don't install the
online help, except the online help won't work 8^)

The various segments you can install are:

   Compiler
   Optimizers
   Assembler and Assembler header files
   Debugger
   Cross debugger
   Extra utilities
   Examples and source
   Online help system

In addition, if you choose to install the base compiler, you can
choose to install either compressed or uncompressed headers (there
is really no need to install both); and you can choose to install
whichever sets of libraries you want, based on the options you
intend to compile with.  If you change your mind later, you can
run the install program again and install the pieces that you
missed the first time.

I did a test install and selected Compiler, Optimizers, Debugger,
and Extra utilities.  I installed uncompressed headers and I
installed all sets of libraries.  The total size was about
3 megabytes.  You could probably cut back on this a good bit
by cutting out the library combinations that you don't use.

Adding the assembler increases this to 3.5 megabytes, mostly due 
to the size of the assembler header files.

If you install everything, including the online help, it adds up to 
about 5.5 megabytes.

If you did choose to have both compressed and uncompressed headers
around for some reason, one SCOMPACT command would compact the
entire tree:

   scompact <sourcedir> <destdir> ALL

My hard drive has only ever become unvalidated as a result of either using a
version of zoo or lharc etc. which crashed while writing to disk.  Since then
I ONLY unpack to RAM disk where I can diddle with it without mucking up my
hard drive.  If you don't have enough RAM then if the archive is not too large
you can always unpack to an empty floppy.  It may take a bit longer, but not
nearly as long as fixing a hard drive partition.

Just my opinion.....
