Subject: NFS/FTP for Amiga?
Organization: Merck Research Laboratories
Date: Mon, 16 Nov 92 19:38:44 GMT

I have seen a TCP/IP product mentioned on this group for Amigas.  Before I
call a local rep (who would know little about anything if history s any
guide), can anyone fill me in to some of the options available for the Amiga:

1. How is the ethernet card available from C= in relation to ASDGs?

2. How much memory does TCP/IP software take on the Amiga?  Does it conflict
with anything?

3. Can I use NFS to mount drives from a NFS server?  Can I make the Amiga a
NFS server?

4. Can I use FTP to and from the Amiga?  If I had two amigas w/ TCP/IP, can I
FTP and/or NFS (with no other machines on the network)?

Much thanks in advance!

  If it came with a external liquid nitrogen cooling system and the

  Electricaly it seems possible but I would think that cooling and current

CDTV built around a 3.x A1200 would be needed for the CDTV to take
off. It would be needed pretty soon, before CDI takes the (eventual)
market.

It wouldn't hurt if it had an MPEG chip and Photo CD compatibility either.

    You got a lemon because the only problem I have with my 4000 is the floppy

Wow! You're right!  I wonder why the US army doesn't have a crack 2 x 4

OK, so basically any solid object on the planet that you can pick up, can be
used in an offensive manner.  The point is though, somethings are just a tad
more effective than others.

As a simple experiment, walk into a crowded shopping mall, weilding a 2x4,
see how many people you can maim or kill in 30 seconds.
Now repeat the experiment with a semi-automatic rifle.

Subject: No output from A1000 w/ HPLJ IIIP (PostScript)
Summary: Does anyone have this combination functioning?
Organization: NCSU Project Eos
Date: Sun, 22 Nov 1992 06:17:31 GMT

I recently purchased an HPLJ IIIP w/ HP PS cartridge & 4MB memory
expansion.  Also has AppleTalk interface (for my wife's mac).

The printer works fine with my wife's mac, but when I try setting it to
parallel and sending PostScript from my A1000, the panel light (Form Feed)
flashes a long time and nothing ever prints.

My machine: A1000 w/ 4.5MB (ASDG Minirack-C w/ 8M board - 4M installed) and
	    M.A.S.T. printer-port SCSI interface.  The cabling is all the
	    same as I have used for years with a Panasonic dot-matrix
	    printer with no problem.

The postscript files should be good.  They come from my machine at work
where I print directly to an HPLJ III w/ Pacific Page cartridge.  No
problems there.

I have tried 'type >prt: file.ps', which gives the "printer trouble"
requestor.  I have also tried 'type >par: file.ps' which just flashes
forever.

The same commands, sent to another printer (both using the 'generic' driver
in Preferences) prints the file just fine (as ascii).

The specs on the A1000 (from an ancient Amiga World) and HP parallel
ports are listed as follows:

Pin	A1000		HPLJ3P
1	drdy*		strobe
2	data		data
.	.		.

Do I need some "creative cabling" here?  Or have missed some

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

The Amiga 600 _IS_ the A300 !! If you open an A600 up, you'll see A300 stencilled on the motherboard (at least, this was so for the early machines - they might of corrected it by now).

  Well, maybe I'm wrong, but I'll try anyway ...

The way I thing HAM8 works (correct me if I'm wrong, but I'll base
my statements upon this info):

- You have 64 (= 2^6) base registers.
- You have 4 modes (2 bits for the mode) : choose a base register,
  modify red/green/blue component.
- Modifying the component is done by keeping the lower two bits of
  that component as they were for the previous pixel and changing
  the upper 6 bits as indicated in the bitmap.

Well, with these assumptions, I think the number of possible colors
for the HAM8 mode is about 16 Million (i.e. 24bit colour).  We can
choose the base-registers in such a way that every possible
combination of the lower 2 bits for every component (ie. 6 bits = 64
colours) are found in the base-registers.  The upper 6 bits of each
component can be changed using those HAM-change-component modes, so
every colour in the 24 bit space can be created as follows :
  - Select the base register with the correct settings for the
    2 lower-bits of each component
  - Change the upper 6 bits of the red component to the value you
    want it to be
  - Same for the green component
  - Same for the blue component

Note that this won't be done in practice, since you would need 4 steps
to get the colour you want, *BUT* it shows that (if the resolution
would be large enough) HAM8 could show the full 24 bit space.

During a reboot my 2nd HD ( Quantum) 120meg decided to die. All the data
on it was trashed and the RDB trashed as well. After numerous attempts
with DiskSalv and Quarterback Tools I gave up and reformated it.

I am using 2.04. I have an A2000 with A2630 card with 4 meg of 32bit mem
and GVPSeries II FAAASTROM 3.07 with 40meg Quantum on the card as well
as 4 meg of 16bit mem.

Well I have had trouble reboots where the second drive seemed to hang
during the boot procedure but turning the computer off/on quickly seemed
to get the boot sequence to finish OK. SYS: is on the 40 meg which never
had or has a problem.

Any way having reformating it I noticed the 120 meg was very slow and tested
it with loading PAgestream 2.0 found it took 20 seconds to start the program
where as on the 40 meg it loaded in six seconds. 

Deciding I must have formated it with the OFS I loaded FAAASTPREP and reformat
ed it. I decided to try a lowlevel format knowing that Quantums usually wont
do this. But the drive started clicking but the drive light was off

Upon reboot the drive could not be seen or identified with FAAAASTPREP i.e it
couldnot get any info. Another reboot and info could be got but no format
was possible with FAAAASTPREP.

I took the 120 to my local Amiga shop ( hi Mark) and they formatted it OK
and said there was no problem with it. My cable between the drives abd controller
seems OK as well.

Back home I still have the trouble rebooting without the OFF/ON ploy and when
I tried to repartition the drive FAAASTPREP ( putting 2 in partition gadget
) says "this function can only be used on a vaild read/write unit.

As well the head numbers now reads 1 when it used to read 3 but I can still
use it.

So be fore I get the controller checked ( no probs with the 40meg) any ideas

Sorry for the length

Greetings netters,

I was wondering that if I have a Fusion 40 68040 accelerator and wish to use
floating point software (example, FP versions of commercial and PD stuff), do
I need a special floating point run-time library .library file?  Does the 
68040.library file  fit this need?

Regards,
Victor.
