With our GPTouch driver for the MicroTouch screen we provide for right
button events only as menu items. If the option is selected and the touch
is in the screen menu zone then you can get drop down menus.

Is there a specific need to generate both left and right mouse buttons
as specific button events?

Actually, after installation of 2.1 I started to do this, but I was
still annoyed by the status window that popped up.  (I prefer to have
no windows show up on my Workbench, unless there is an error.
Otherwise, it has similarities to an Enforcer hit.)

Here's an enchancement request for Commodore's Workbench Team:

Allow Rexxmast to use the standard tootype: WINDOW=NIL:.

Granted that this will not allow the execution of REXX scripts very
early in the startup, but it will work for the majority of users who
use REXX for applications, but not for special functions during
startup.

'Fraid it won't work.  Jumbo's use either a custom controller or the floppy
controller (One or the other, I forget) and the software passes the data to
the hardware.  No software for the Amiga side!  (I thought about this one

Several people say they are working on it.  One possibility being tossed around
is to write an Imagemaster driver, or something for ADPro.

No, you have to make the choice of whether to use your PC/ISA slots as true
IBM slots with the bridgeboard, or Amiga devices with the GoldenGateII.  You
cannot have both a traditional Bridgeboard and the GoldenGateII in your
machine at the same time, since they both want control of the PC bus.
On the other hand, you might be able to use something like ATonce with 
the GoldenGateII, since Atonce doesn't use the bus.

Say what? where is your math, latest rates is at 1# for $1.50, so that

Maybe the same type those German guys Dave H. was referring to are 
using? It should be possible. The German Retina and Domino cards do
things along similar lines... I'm no device writer tho. Anybody here
more qualified wanting to anwer this? Or maybe write a driver? ;-)

I would save my money and wait for 3.1 (or at least 3.0) to be released for
the 500.  The reason is that 2.x layers performance is lousy - under 3.x
they've fixed this problem (oh boy have they - I think what I've seen on a
3.x A3000 was at least a 3x increase in windowing speed by software upgrade
alone), and it should make operation on an A500 much smoother.  Repeat,
ADOS 3.x is a *speed enhancement*, not a speed eater, over 2.x.

On the other hand, it shouldn't be forever until 3.x is available for the 500,
either, so I wouldn't go and spend my $50.

I am thinking of purchasing an 040 for my A3000 among other things.

Which is best and why.  What are advantages of each?

Also, I am thinking of getting a Syquest 44 or 88 removable.  Is the 88 able to
read/write 44 formatted drives?  How about those optical drives, do the disks
cost a lot (120meg or 650meg)?  How reliable are opticals? do they ever wear
out? How expensive are the 120meg or 650 meg versions?  What is a good speed
for opticals?

Any info on the above subjects would be of great help.

Yes.

It went awful.

Sysinfo 3.01 reported 750KB/Sec, whereas in my A2500/30 the same
drive/controller was pushing 1.4Mb/sec.

But it's still usable.

I am at a loss to explain the performance problem.

The 120MB IDE drive pushes over 1MB/sec in raw read speed.

You might try a small partition size (say 1M) and see how that works first.
If memory serves correctly, the 4010 will default to 306 Cyl, 2 Heads,
Sectors per track if it is not initialized with drive geometry.  Incidentally,
I have a 4070 which is exhibiting the same conditions of your 4010.  It
pretends to write to the disk, but not read from it.

Three years ago, I owned an IVS Trumpcard and a Maxtor XT-1140 (120M) drive.
The software (TCUtils) that came with the Trumpcard worked excellently with
the Adaptec (ACB 4010).  Today, I have the same disk on my 2091.  Since the
disk was already formatted, I never saw a need to try formatting with my
2091.

I also own a 2090 controller.  I can assure you it's nearly impossible to get
this controller to format an Adaptec, since it does not support SCSI direct.
I does work nicely, however, with the disk after the media has been low-level
formatted.

I would, at the very least, expect your 500XP to be able to use the disk
once it has been low-level formatted.  Since you say your software directly
supports the Adaptec, I would consider suspect two things:
	1. Your Adaptec might have been damaged (similar to mine).  
	2. Your 10M drive is old, dead, and sucks.

I recommend (if its possible) trying this equipment out on a Sun and possibly
swapping the drive and/or Adaptec.

Yeah...Elographics is right--I saw a driver for it on the AV disk.  FWIW
it seems to have 3 to 4 times the resolution of the MicroTouch touch screen
(along either the X or Y axis).  Curiously enough, I didn't see any mention
of Elographics in Amazing Computing's Product Guide.  How does it compare
wrt price?

Playing around with a MicroTouch touch screen (without driver/documentation)
I don't see how the MicroTouch can support finger dragging--it only outputs
the initial coordinates of a touch (checked this with VLT), and doesn't
output new coordinates unless you withdraw your finger momentarily.  Which
IMHO makes it kinda useless as a mouse replacement, unless...  Does anyone
know if (and how) it can be made to output a continuous stream of data?

Just change the osciallator that determines the baud rates to one of
2X or 4X the frequency and all the speeds will scale accordingly.

Plese not that this does not represent a claim that the board will
be able to support all ports at > 19.2K baud, but you can try it if
you want to.

Has anyone sucessfully installed and utilized a CBM distributed chinon
HD floppy drive? If so, I'm seeking advice on how to do so. It came with
no documentation or support software (developer distr.) but I've heard of
many already successfully using it. I have an Amiga 3000 running under
2.04. I've switched the J351 jumper and the jumper on the back of
the drive to make it correspond to df1: and it sucessfully supports
the amiga 880k format. However, any read/writes to either df0: or df1:
cause both drives to spin (though the drive not reading/writing does
not do anything other than spin). But I want it to work properly (one
drive at a time) and utilize 1.44MB format under amiga and msdos with
the CrossDosFilesystem. Any help much appreciated. Thanks,
	John
