FYI...I get the same sort of results using SupraFormat (Series II, v 1.10) and
an OMTI (5200? 5100?) MFM<-->SCSI board with an older MiniScribe 40Mb disc.
I'd been thinking of getting an Adaptec replacement for the OMTI to see if
that is the problem...

Maybe I'll try a later responder's suggestion of low level formatting the disc
on a Sun at work? Or maybe send the SCSI low level format command to it via a
SCSIdirect command? Hmmm...have to think about that one, after I get my other
[primary] disc working again...

Thanx for letting me know I'm not the only one...

A way to solve this is to, from Amiga DOS, tpye ADDBUFFERS DH0: 500,
this speeds up my hard drive access from my A2286...this is due to a
problem with the Janus software...it needs to be updated!

Get the ROM... 2.04 is much nicer. Better looking, and more stable.
It works fine for a 500 without a hard drive, a bit hard to put everything on
floppies, but with a little work on your part (Just like 1.3) It'll work fine.

You do need more than just the ROM though, you need the new system software to
take advantage of the ROM's.

p.s. the 2.05 ROM has some Layers enhancements that were mentioned about 3.1
in the other reply to your message.

  This is a workable solution but there will be restrictions.  I just tried
a ZMM-149, ZDS Paper White Monochrome VGA monitor on my A1200.  The only
mode that was usable was the Productivity Mode using the Multiscan
monitor type.  This sets up the amiga output for a 31.44 kHz rate.

  The DblNTSC monitor type would not work, even when the VGAOnly
monitor type was included.  No doubt it was because the ZMM-149
has a input Horizontal rate of 31.49 kHz +/- 1 kHz.  Guess what?
the DblNTSC mode is 27.66 kHz and with VGAOnly, its boosted to
29.20 kHz, still a little short of the monitors range.  On the
other hand,  A ZCM-1492 I tried would sync up to the DblNTSC (only
when I also included VGAOnly) even though it has the same spec,
31.49 kHz +/- 1 kHz.

  I guess what this means is Buyer beware.  Try your monitor before
you buy it if you want to use the DblNTSC mode with a VGA only
monitor.

  Paper White just means you get a grey/white CRT tube instead of the
more traditional Amber or Green CRT.  All the monochrome VGA monitors
only have a Green pin (of the original Red, Green, and Blue pins) so
you will only see colors that have green content.  Of course all
these monitors will show (gray|amber|green) scales, depending on
the analog level presented to the lone green input.

  Hope this helps.

 I have had a custom-build AT-IDE controller in my A500 for some years with
QNTM LP52AT, and I detected this problem already then. One can read 1-255 blocks, but not 256 as
AT -specs mention as max. I received new EPROM that works ok, ie allows 1-256
blocks to be read at one command. If Amiga software asks for more than 256
blocks (128kBytes), then IDE-driver asks repeating for 256 blocks until done.
The reason for this bug is in AT-BIOS that asks for max 64kB (128 blocks) at a
time due to segmented memoryhandling. It's pity they have not corrected this
problem in 120/240 which was reported to them as bug in PL52/105 code. This makes GVP
unusable, as it asks for 256 blocks, unless of course application/DOS
(maxtransfer) asks for less.

I wish to get a new monitor and after some research  I have narrowed
it down to three candidates: NEC 3D, SONY 1302, and C= 1960.

*NOTE: I have found companies which still sell the first two.

I would like for anyone who has used one of these monitors (especially,
the NEC and SONY) to answer a few questions for me.

1) can it use overscan?
2) How quickly does it change between screens of different synch rates?
3) How "sharp" is the display?
4) Are the controls easily accessible from the front?

By the way, I talked to my local C= dealer and he heard the new Quad synch
monitors are going to be inexpensive (~$300) multisynch monitors to be
used with the A1200.  He wasn't certain so take the info with a grain of
salt.

Well by then the new cheap quad synchs will be out.  And a lot of other 
third party boards will be out.  Now if you are to say next November
or something I would say, hmm maybe look into the a4000/030 perhaps

Yes, unless you can team up with someone with an identical unit that has
had a head crash.  You might be lucky and be able to get the
manufacturer to replace the electronics, but it might get awfully close to

Wrong. Or, rather, not quite right. Movies are usually 24 frames
per second (that's right), but the machines display them at the
double frame rate (similar to DoublePAL/DoubleNTSC, actually :-)
Each frame is displayed twice.

This is a request for help, based on my experiences so far with AGA and
29.2Khz and up monitors.. I have a monitor that I want to stick on the 
A4000, I stuck the VGA only icon in the monitors drawer. That seems to
work fine for things except DPAINT, and a few others. I downloaded DoubleX
and that works fine. What doesn't work fine is a few anim players (Showanim,
View 3.2, and Scala Multimedia200).. The initial work screens come up, until
I start to play anim files out.. They revert to 15KHZ and garbage.. I don't
know if I am doing something stupid (maybe I am). Anything that relies on
Intuition seems to work and play fine (DPAINT the program, MOVIE, etc).
However things that do animation by creating a view (port) and using the 
workbench screen to double buffer, don't seem to be working.. What am
I doing wrong here?? 

Am I using way old software that doesn't properly access screens etc?? Is
there any way around this.. Please someone who went through this already
please explain.. with VGA ONLY does it really send  out at 31.5Khz??
Would putting other monitors in the monitors drawer besides the VGA only
be the problem. It doesn't seem to be that... Please help before I go 
out and spend more money on another monitor.. The display database says
DBLntsc is at 29.2.. Should regular NTSC say 31.5???

I just recently put a 8372A Agnus in my 500 and modified it to have 1
meg of chip ram...  :) :) :) :)
 
I tried to put a PAL switch on it tonight..  (Hardware, so it boots up
in PAL..  I can't seem to get it to boot in PAL from software (Degrader)
and if I use inPAL the bottom of the screen is STILL cut off....)
 
Anyway, after much toil and poking and pushing, I thought I got it in,
but to no avail..  So I cried a little :) and put 'er back together..
 
Does anyone know of an EASY way to do this?
 
Here's how I was doing it:
 
I cut a hole in the side of my amiga (did the same for my 000/030 for
my MMR) and have a little switch, wires, etc..  easy. :)  I took the
Agnus out, bent pin 41 up and back, put a teeny piece of tape to cover
the "inside" of the pin, and poked the wire in there, secured it a little
by pushing the wire inside the hole where the pin was, and popped the
Agnus back in.
 
yet when I booted, I would get a black line (100 or so lines?) horizontal
moving from the centre up to the top of the screen, disapeer, and I'd
get the boot picture..  But it was in pal even when I had it on ground!
No doubt about it, pin 41 was grounded, but still in PAL mode..
 
 
Anyway...  I take it you can't get the entire PAL screen without it
being in PAL mode *before* the screen is sized originally, same as
you can't really go into overscan by loading a overscan preference
when booted from a non-overscan preference file.  Am I making sense?
 
It's late...  But if anyone has any ideas, suggestions, etc, let me
know...
 
Don't flame me, though..  I haven't got an "-MB-" in my sig..  <smirk>

If you are running a Wangtek tape drive (doesn't have to be the
one above really) please email me back.
Thanks

I am having a crisis.

Do I buy a 4000 now?

Or do I wait for a RUMORED tower that might not be included as part of the power up program?

Will a DSP upgrade be available on the 4000?

Will a 33mhz/040 upgrade be available on the 4000?

Will all my software work on the 4000?

Should I just buy a Mac instead?
