I use CSITCZapfChanceryL size 15 on my 720x478 WB screen (I leave off
the top line, which flickers on ECS systems, and the bottom line, which
doesn't get drawn).  It's a kind of scriptish font that goes well with
my "artsy" WB icons and backdrop image.

I am running a mouse accelerator, but it is not a commodity.  I can't
find a commodity mouse accelorator that I like.  I like plain basic
speedup.  Not threshold..  Moving the mouse an inch moves the pointer
the same amount each time, etc..
 
Oh well...  Doesn't really matter, except I can't use EdPlayer, as
someone mentioned earlier in the thread..  It gets SO slow when you
move the paddle that you can't control it.

There was no claim that it's faster then the reality engine...I believe the

I bought a PC emulation board a year or so back... I never used it in the end.
MS-DOS was just to crap for it to be worth it.

Windows is what makes the difference, but I personally don't like that.

Well you didn't say what machine you have, but this is a good opportunity
to mention an oversight with the high density floppies and CrossDOS included
with the A4000.  This should also apply to 3000's with the high density
drives.

As supplied with WB 3.0, you can only read 720K IBM disks, even though you
have a high-density drive.  If, however, you double the mount entry for
BlocksPerTrack from 9 to 18, you can suddenly read 1.44M disks.  I've
had no problems writing to same.  There may be a reason they did this, but
I haven't run into it.

Question:
---------

Which one do I need for my *Amiga*??  Here are the specs:

Amiga 2000
C= 68060 w/2 meg RAM
2 meg RAM (old C= board)
GVP Series I SCSI w/2 meg RAM
Rodime 210 med hard disk

NEC 3FGx monitor - I also would like to put my monitor on the UPS.


(I know I can just get the 450, but I would like to save money

	Did you ever try to *close* that 2.04 binder?  It's impossible,
unless all the pages are on the right side.  I *hate* that binder.

	However, I would have preferred a better binder rather than

Many shells on the Amiga are a wee bit lazy and want to see the I/O
redirection directly after the command.  This is the only difference
between Unix and amiga versions.  Try, therefore the following:

	uuencode  >newname.uu  NameInArchive  InputFilename

i.e.	uuencode  >test.uu     TEST           test

Work for me.  Every time!

Caveat: I'm not an Amigan, I just play one on posts like this...

"68882" is the part# of Motorola's FPU chip, so I'm guessing that if you're
being told that you have one o' these, then you really do have a full 68040
(with its attendant subset of the full 68882 instruction set)...  (On the
other hand, I suppose it's possible that FPU instructions are being
emulated in the OS, and Showconfig et al can't tell.  See, I told you I
was a sham! :-)

 Guess why GigaMem was invented at all ? Because of the MemEater AdPro,
 that's what Christian Schneider and Friedeman Buergel told me... :)
