Sorry, don't know what happened to the jast posting.

Does anyone know anything about a program called JIVE. It translates text
files into Jive. There is a similar one called KRAUT which translates into
fractured German.

Something along the lines of an Epson LQ570 would probably be suitable

I bought an ADIDE44 in January this year, along with a 125meg hard drive
and have no problems with it at all.  I also had a mem board installed, and
still my humble little A500 power-supply has withstood it.  I have since
spoken to the bloke that installed it, and he said that I was one of the
lucky ones.  Some power-supplies can handle it, some can't.  So with that
respect, you have to take pot-luck.
By the unit first, then if you get heaps of gurus for no apparent reason
(this is what I have heard happens), then your ami is trying to tell you
something.  I suggest that you pick up a 200W IBM fan cooled power-supply,
as this will defnitely be able to handle it (ami's is 60W).  Last time I
looked, these were about $170 or so.

-------

I noticed on your sig that you are doing a comp-sci course at Monash. 
What's it like, as I MAY be going there next year.  Do you do much
programming, or what?

Hope that the above is some help,

I am looking for something as fast as possible for about $300-$500.
I know this isn't much but I am sure that someone will have something that
I like. I am paying money for the best modem I am offered. Of course I would like to see it first so really only people in Melb can apply.
Please no lamers, as my roomate knows electronics (ie can tell if you are trying to give me something not in 100% working condition).

Thankyou.

Any way, A better ad by the cloned marketing dep geniuses is the one at the
back of the new Acar. It states  Grow your A2000 and has an inverted tree
flowing from it showing all the paths of upgrading for the Amiga 2000
ie. video, DTP, Sound ... and multimidea. Nice but the Multimedia branch
includes the CDRom for the A500 ie the A570 which is hardly out for
the A500 and is only for the A500 !!!!

	So there.

And the new 3com card for the PC is approx $250, and (surprise surprise)
they have finally discovered auto-configuring hardware (for ISA bus PCs eeerk!)

$560 sounds high but is probably typical, we had payed over $600 for cards for
PCs which is a far larger market.

(When the Amiga cards come down to $200  I'll start wondering how to string
some 10Base-T the 8 km to get to work)

The only problem with the up and comming computers (be it Amiga's or not)
are the need of the public and the uses they can take advantage of.

We have been using the Amiga 1000, 500, 2000, 2500, and 3000 for different
projects over a 4 year span. The only problem I see coming up is the need
for better graphics. I don't know if anybody else has come into contact with
information that commadore will come out with at least 256 colors. I don't
want to go to IBM just because graphic problems...

I am not saying that we are using the IBM in full effect. I am trying to stay
away from the system! But, I am affraid that if Commadore does not get off 
thier butts and do something to the Graphics problems that they are faced with
then they will have put a machine that should be number one further in the 
mighty hole of 'I can't seem to market it right, What do I do?' then they 
already are.......... I just hope they do not mess a chance to become No.1!

They need more Graphics, More Power(at least 020 chip) if they plan to
compete for another seven years....

They introduced the Amiga 600 in europe and all it is, is a smaller Amiga 500.

The outside package is not enough!!! I hope they do better in the next year..

Hi yall,  what is the state of mac emulation on the Amiga?  Me is a mac user
 (ex amiga), friend of me (amiga user) is about to upgrade 500 to 3000, needs
 to know how good something like AMax is.
Last time I used AMax, it was pretty shitty & supported no colour, a
 microscopic screen and you had to convert files from mac hfs to something amax
 could read.  Friend has said there is a new version available real_soon_now
 which supports colour, so.....questions follow to those in the know;
1.  Does it support 640x480 8bit to screen?
2.  Does it (& how) support mac sound?
3.  What compatibility % does it have?  (please, do not say 100%, i might
 choke!  half my pd stuff isnt 100% compatible with system 7.1.1.
4.  How does it handle file interchange (i.e.  how does it handle mac disks
 esp. 1.4Mb ones?)
5.  How does it handle auto disk ejection (the old version put an icon in the
menubar - seemed to be a tad buggy, probly got me a beta)
6.  Does the purchaser still need to grab apple 128K+ roms from somewhere?
7.  Does it support all printing on the mac?  For that matter, does it support
 all SCSI chaining?

Thanks, David....

I guess you haven't seen the specs for the A4000 and the new AGA Chipset then.

They are posted about twice a day at the moment to comp.sys.amiga.hardware and
comp.sys.amiga.advocacy.  

I think they might be just what you are looking for (i.e better graphics etc)

G'day everyone!

I've just called a few Amiga dealers here in Brisbane for the price of
an A2065 Ethernet card... the best price I could do was $560.  How does
this compare with other dealers in other states?  I tend to think that
$560 is far too much to pay - what do you think?

Subject: A4000 PowerUp deal for a3000 owners...

Organization: RMIT Computer Centre, Melbourne Australia.

Having bought an Amiga 3000 as I needed something fast with nice steady graphics
I would love to have the new AGA Chipset available in the new 4000.  This would
greatly aid me with productivity but we are told that this new chipset is not 
usable in ANY older amigas.  

In the states user are offered power up deals.  Does anyone know of any deals
such as this ever existing here.???  

If not. are there many 3000 owners out there who would like to see one and feel
the same way??? Feel like writing some letters??>??
