  I'm going home to Alaska, and I won't have a modem to use for about three

Merry Christmas, everyone!

IMHO ZOOM makes great modems.  Great waranties, good service, and a quality
product.  The prices also seem to be decent.    BOCA has a similar good
reputation, but I haven't used one.........

Maybe the case is not earthed!, try a continuity test between the case and
 ground wire.
I'm sure your problem is not a generic one with Amigas and TV sets, not to that
 extent anyway.

I'm not sure how the Supra is connected but if you find there is no earthing,
 check cables etc. If these look OK, then you may have to look inside for earth
 straps (or lack of them) between ground and the case.

I'd check this out pretty quick as you probably have some Static Sensitive
 Devices (SSD's) on board and not earthing the case could be costly!!

If you want an update on Babylon V, check out the magazine "Starlog" which
should be in bookstores this month. They have a complete story on the show,
including an article on the Toaster and how the graphics were generated. I have
not had the time to read as of yet but I believe I saw the premiere is slated
for sometime in February, which will be a month after the premiere of Deep Space
Nine. This should be a great year for Sci-Fi fans as well as for the Amiga.

Why is it that nobody has heard of NComm in the US? In my opinion it
outshines even JRComm in terms of, well, just about anything! It's internally
multitasking, which I don't think JRComm is (I haven't seen any of the later
releases, but anyway :-). Plus it's *MUCH* nicer looking and easier to use.
Two versions are currently available, 1.92 (I think) for those with 1.3 or
2.x or 2.0 for OS 2.x users only. Beware that 2.0 is shareware, whereas 1.92
is PD (or freely distributable or whatever)...

According to George Robbins (who designed the A1200), this is the truth.
They use a shorter (height) drive in the A1200 to save space, and the HD
drive is not (yet) available in that form factor.

It work with the standard Amiga-displaymodi like 320x200 (256), 640x200 (256)
320x200 (256) and 640x400 (512), but the limit is 4 grey-colors (black, white,
and two grayshades). The 1008x1024 Modi works only if you have Kick 2.0 or you
boot with the special disk with is included in the A2024-package. But the
normal-amiga-modi works, but the overscan is very small. When you open a screen
and the overscan is bigger than 640x400, you don't see all. When a windows
open on a place wich you can't see, the whole screen gets black (you see
nothing)!

Games are not very usable, because the A2024 shines very long (I don't know
the english word for the german "Nachleuchtdauer", sorry).
But it works.

Only ONE??? :>

I received some mail from someone with a  $ in their email address.  I can't
respond to that person  (invalid variable).  I also cannot respond to any with
.uucp or the  ! symbol. So if you write to me and get no answer, this is why :<

Anyway, I was asked WHERE these might be found...

They are in the games directories at the usual sites: physik, ux1, wuarchive,
luth.se, funet.fi, etc...  Just poke around, you'll find 'em.  Or use Archie
on the names I have given above. :>

Now, about that  tetris.tar.Z  file.  I can uncompress the .Z on my unix
system, but I havne't a clue what the .tar is... :<   (And can't imagine myself
missing a Tetris clone! *grin*)

One minor mistake. :)
  your using the wrong startup-sequence. :)

in 1.3 you can put it in startup-sequence
in 2.x you should put it in user-startup to avoid problems with newer
  workbenches to come.

the startup-sequence.HD is only a suggestion on how you should set up your
startup-sequence.  So unless you do an execute s:startup-sequence.hd from
your real startup-sequence, that sequence will never be run.  Hence why the
program didnt seem to be run. :)

hope that helps.

You can use Big Blue Reader (commercial program) for transfer to MS-DOS.
As far as I know, there's no software way to go from the 64 to the Amiga;

The E! channel did a special on Babylon V.  They spent about 15 minutes on the
graphics.  I thought the computers looked like Amigas with a very colorfull logo
on them, but the show never mentioned Commodore or Amiga.

I believe this has to do with advertising.  If Commodore had bought a spot
during this show, I am sure that the fact Amigas where being used would have
been mentioned very prominently.  These shows make money by selling
advertisements.  The only do something for free if in the long run it will
generate revenue.

This isn't correct, because the A2024 can also display the standard-amiga-modi
like 320x200, 320x400,640x200 and 640x400 (and the pal-modi). The only limit
is 4 colors. The interlaced-modi doesn't flicker!

You have an error in your shell-startup file then.  The no K directive error
concerns missing keywords or the .key command is not on the first line of the
script and it should be.  See the EVAL command in your AmigaDos manual for a
example script with .key, .bra, and .ket directives.
