    They may not buy it just to play games, but playing games IS a
    factor in the purchasing decision for a lot of home users, be they
    teens or whatever.

How would this be done?  A simple momentary switch to the lines that

I don't have any real insights but I can share my experience with also
having 2 bad power supplies on an A3000. My A3000, within 24 hours of
delivery, would every now and then have its power light dim, its fan
wind down, and would then reboot. Sometimes it would take several tries
to boot and sometimes I'd have to shut it down and wait a while, then
try again to get it up. A call to Gold Service got me a new power supply
installed and that one also failed within two weeks, the initial symptom
being frequent read errors from during HD access. Another call to Gold
Service brought me another supply and that one hase functioned without
problem for about a year and a half to two years now.

So, it seemed to me that C= gets an unusual number of marginal supplies.
I don't know why SCSI access should place a load on the power supply, it
doesn't make sense to me, but that is where my machine would most often
fail, even if the access was to an external device (a Syquest) with its
own power.

Dear fellow netters,

	I have a little problem with my hard drive.  Ive been using amiga's
since they first came out, and I was one of the first kids on the block
to get a HD on my A1000 (It was a C.LTD i think) anyway, Im used to
trashing around with hard drives on amigas.  However, I can't seem to
figure this one out, maybe someone out there can help me out.  I have an
A2000, w/ GVP Impact Series II 030 combo board (40 Mhz), 1 Q80 (quantum 80
meg HD), and 1 LPS120 (Quantum 120 Meg HD), both SCSI, 80 meg is unit 0,
and 120 is unit 1, my 80 meg works FINE, no problems with it at all.  My
LPS120 has developed a neat little problem.  This drive is no more than 8
months old, and all of the sudden Its comming up with Not-Validated
errors.  I get a requester that WILL NOT go away that says its not
validated, and the information in the "INFO" commands show the drive as
100% full and NOT-Validated.  I was running UUCP (UUXQT) and decided to
fire up another process.  Well, when I do this the process I ran crashed
the machine, I got an "Unexpected error" from the GVP Controler, then it
said my 80 Meg had a read/write error, and my machine locked up, well of
course I locked up right in the middle of writing to the HD, so I expected
there to be some trouble with the drive, and It seems that either UUXQT,
or gvpscsi.device is a problem with doing too many things at once, because
my 80 meg is free of errors, I even checked this after the fact (using GVP
FAAASTPrep to map out bad blocks), no errors.  Now, my problem is this:
I cant get my LPS120 to work.   If I reformat, everything seems to work
fine, but at DIFFERENT times while Im copying data onto the drve , I get
one of those unexpected error messages, and a write error on my lps120,
and then a lock-up.  If I re-boot I get the same non-validated error on
that drive.  I have tried mapping out the bad blocks, says there is non. 
I have tried partitioning the drive into 2, 3 and 4 parts, but still have
the same problem.  Is there a utility that is in the P.D. or that I can
buy that will work this out for me, is there some magic I am missing here?
 WHen I re-low-level format it, it only takes 1/2 second (when I first got
the drive it took several minutes to low-level format the thing).  So is
there a way to force a low-level format, other than hooking it up to
another platform to low-level format it?  (for some reason I think that
might work, don't ask me why, but I dont have access to any other platform
right now)   HELP!!!!  I want my NEWS again!!  Do I need to get a new
drive? PLEASE tell me not!  Thanks for any help!, PLEASE E-MAIL if at all
possible.  If you can't reach me at the from address, try:

kbethke@cscns.com

  Probably your difficulty is that you are trying to plug the RF out of the
VCR to the Mitsubishi.  I have exactly such a monitor, and this confounded
me for a while.  You must use composite out to plug into the BNC connector
on the Diamondscan (At least the AUM-1381a.)  This is typically labelled as
"video out" on most VCR's, and is embodied in an RCA phono-type jack.  You
will probably have to buy an adaptor that does phono to BNC (Radio Shack has
them,) or build your own cable.

I don't want to agree there. The interlaced modes without extra hardware
(ie flickerfixers and such) used 30 and 25 Hz (in PAL and NTSC
respectively). Granted that (almost) noone used these modes for
productivity software, they didn't do at all that bad when showing
low contrast stuff, like HAM pictures.
This is, of course, assuming that the new mode would be interlaced.
Without interlace, I'd have to agree with you.

   It is not possible.  The difference between the DJ500C and the DJ550C is
far more than just software.  The DJ500C can only hold one ink cartridge at
once.   When printing black on a color page, the color inks have to be mixed
to get the black.  Not only is this "black" not really black but dark-brown,
this also uses up the color inks very rapidly.  You also have to swap ink
cartrides when going from printing a color document to printing a black-and-
white document.

   The DeskJet 550C can hold both the color and black ink cartridges at once,
like the PaintJet printers, eliminating the need to mix the colored inks to
get black on a color page and the need to swap ink cartridges.  Upgrading a
DJ500C to a DJ550C would thus be next to impossible, as all of the mechanical
hardware and electronics to hold and use the extra ink cartridge would have
to be added.

Yo, I was wondering about some rumors I've heard of problems using
a 1960 C= Multiscan Monitor with the A4000.  The problem is with 
centering or something... is it very severe, does it make any of the
modes unusable?  I myself am using a Mitsubishi Ultra 17" and it seems
to support all of the es very well, I would like to know what other 
monitors that other 4000 users are using with success, perhaps to 
compile a list for perspective A4000 owners.  I hope that if C= doesnt
yet have a monitor that supports all the AGA modes without centering probs
that they will soon correct the problem.

I don't know much of the details, but one difference is that the Derringer
can not use a CPU faster than 25mhz, while the MMR could go up to 50mhz.
The Derringer can, however, support a 50mhz FPU.
