Dave,
   I know that another company besided Commodore is making a 486 BridgeBoard,
and I also believe that there is a 386 BridgeBoard. :)  IF you'rree interested
check the back of AmigaWord Oct. issue for the 486. And I believe somewhere in
the same isssue is an add for a 386 one.  I could be wrong.  Let me know. :)

Subject:      Re: Universal Printer Driver

We have the latest version of PRTdrvGen.  The kindest thing I can say is that
time has passed it by.  It actually created a printer driver based upon your
input.  Fine as far as it goes, but not what this student was describing to me.
Namely, a program which replaces the WB 2.xx Printer Prefs AND the selection of
driver files with one screen which apparently allows the user to enter or edit
every conceivable printer parameter, then compiles it and saves it as the
default.

As I said earlier, I'm not sure how much of this is speculation and
interpretation.  I'm sure he saw something, but I'm not sure what, and it may
prove fruitless to pursue.  It sounded like a neat concept, but I've never seen
such a thing and I've been using Amiga's since '86.

Use a program called 'MSH' (aka "MessyDos").  It is a replacement
filesystem that allows you to read and write MS-DOS disks from any Amiga
application.

You must only use 720K PC disks though as currently the Amiga floppy disk
drives cannot handle 1.44M disks.

'MSH' was on Fish disk 382.

Well like I said before I also had downloaded it a long time ago and since I
had never had access to a 1.44 meg disk drive I was never able to try it to
see if it did work.  So sorry for any confusion it might have created.

You should be able to get schematics from CATS (Commodore Applications
and Technical Support). A1000 Schematics and Expansion Specifications,
Part Number: A1000SM, Price: $20.

Printed in June of 1986, it is a spiral bound manual containing full
Amiga 1000 schematics, timing diagrams, PA: equations, and documentation
for the auto-configuration process.

An A500/A2000 Technical Reference Manual is available for $40, part
number TECHREF01.  I have a copy and it is has full schematics of the
A2000, B2000, and A500, documentation on the hard disk controller, and
much much more.

Thanks for the suggestion, but 1.3 does not have an EpsonQ driver.  I see
EpsonXOld and EpsonX described in the manual.  I do not want to use the
XOld driver, as it only does 72 dpi vertically where the EpsonX driver
does 216 dpi vertically.

Also, are you telling me that you printer is printing in emphasised mode,
or the Amiga is outputing a bit-image using multiple strikes to get the
same effect as what is built into the printer.  I want to use the
printers emphasised mode for text printing.  I thought this would be
selected by the "letter quality" gadget in the printer preferences.

Has anyone else gotten this to work, even on a non-epson printer?

	I reccomend you try and view the file on screen with "post" (available
on the fish disks) -- assuming you have enough memory (512K might be
enough, I'm not sure).  And the you'd be able to view the file on screen.
Or you could (this is a more massive project) a DVI viewer, like the one
for PasTeX (not really worth it for just one file).

PS. I haven't actually tried either of these methods, but they really

Nyle,

        Are those separate, stand-alone 386 & 486 boards?  I was under the
impression that they were accelerators meant to attach to AT bridgeboards
and the like.  I could well be wrong but if it is the add that I saw, it
appears to be the case.  Also, I don't think that the zorroII bus speed
is that much different from the ISA bus speed (Most pc clones are ISA)--
in fact, I think that the zorro is slightly faster.  Anyone?

Hello my fellow brasilian. (I'm from Sao Paulo.) You can emulate an IBM
several different ways.
There are 2 shareware, and 1 commercial SOFTWARE only IBM emulator
that will turn any Amiga into an IBM PC. The speed depends on the
Amiga. They usually only do CGA graphics.
On the hard front , there are several different options.
On the Amiga 500 model:
PC Board 11mhz by Supra $259 (US)
ATOnce+ 16Mhz $279 (US) Very good product.
GVP PC286 Module $229 (US) Only for GVP Hard Drives.
The above three will give you a 286 IBM computer. The system
takes advantage of your Amiga functions. (i.e. You can use your mouse
or disk drive when emulating the IBM...)

Now, the best way to compatibility is to buy an Amiga 2000, 3000, 3000T
or 4000. These models offer INTERNAL expansion slots. Some of the expansion
slots are IBm compatible, so you can put IBm hardware products in them.
(i.e. a modem, graphic carc, etc..)
The best solution is to get the A2386SX Bridgeboard $959 (US)
This is made by Commodore, so you should be able to get it in
Japan. It gives you a 16 or 20Mhz 386SX IBM. You could also buy a
separate SVGA graphic card and put it in a slot. This would give
you everything an IBM system would give you. (Run Windows 3.1, etc...)

You might also look into the older bridgeboard by Commodore.. They made
a 8088 and 286 model. Currently, many dealers are selling them for
a very low price.

There is a good program called Cross-PC+ (Comes with AmigaDos 2.1, and
3.0) That will allow you to read IBm disks in your Amiga drives. I think
they will also convert some files, but I'm not sure. There is another
program called MSH that is public domian (free) that will do what Cross-PC
does. The best Database program for the Amiga is SuperBase 4. There are also
a few other programs. The Amiga doesn't shine in Business software.
Although there are VERY good word processing , desk-top publishing
software on the market. Not to mention the great video/graphics/sound
software for the Amiga.

By the way, there is also a Apple Macintosh emulator that is VERY good.
Many IBm programs have ports on the Macintosh platform.

Another product to look into in the EMPLANT. (It's not our yet.)
The Emplant will promise to emulate a Macintosh, and will offer
IBM emulation in the future, with the SAME hardware..

I hope this helps

Thanks for your response, Chad.  No, I'm not looking for the music.  My wife
saw these games at her friends house and now she wants them for herself.  I'll
try Software Support.

I seem to remember reading in the new Amigaworld (just came yesterday in
the mail) that the new AA chipset adds support for a regular 2MB (1.44
in IBM lingo) drive.  If this is true, the 4000 drive is probably NOT a
dual speed drive and will not work in a 3000 or 2000.  Can someone
confirm or deny?  I think I remember reading it in Lou Wallace's article
(I don't have the mag at work right now).
