Yeah, I mentioned that when I heard this new name, but no one around here
seemed to remember it but me.  I actually like the original chipset name,
"Pandora".

OK, OK, OK.  You're correct.  If you're using a SCSI HD, you prep RES2: NOT
DH2:.  Also, in the devs/mountlist, you should see the LowCyl = 0 and 
HighCyl = 1  (This will be the RESx: entries).  This is where you'll be 
"PREPing" to.

Not really. What about volume control ? The Amiga has 8bit resolution for
the sample but about 14bit dynamic. A CD has 16bit resolution which is
mostly used to achieve 16bit dynamic (actually the SNR of a CD is usually
better by about 15db).

Ahh... a perfect dealer! Fast, strong, wrong... ;-) Handling and

a   commercial  driver  for  the  HP  to  get  the  graphic  speed
compareable to the Canon printer with the Canon drivers.

Also, the Canon drivers will soon be updated with some very nice

Howdy all....
 
A friend of mine has an A3000 tower.  It has two (well more but..) jumpers
in it that are a little confusing.  One jumper, near the CPU, is labeled
16 and 25.  This I assume is for the clock rate of the CPU.  The other, 
near the RAM, is labeled 16M and 25M.  Is that also connected with the CPU
speed?

Yes, the new sprites are of varying resolutions, and more colours.  For details
you will have to get hold of some spec sheets from C=, but the AA posting about
2 months ago was pretty accurate.

I'm considering the purchase of a model MX14S (Trinitron) monitor
from MAG Innovision. Given the fact that the vertical scan range
for this monitor is 50-120 Hz and the horizontal scan range
is 30-64 kHz, are there any AGA modes which will not be accommodated?

Also, will the non-interlaced nature of the monitor provide any benefit
when used with interlaced signals?

A friend of mine just got the 1 meg Agnus chip and installed it in his A2000.
He has put in a switch for 1 meg chip <-> 512 fast/512 chip and wants to put
in a switch for PAL/NTSC. Is there a jumper on the 2000 that does this? Which
one? Are there other jumpers that do interesting thing on the 2000?

He has a very old motherboard -- revision 3.9. Some guy at the local Amiga
store said that only about 100 of these revision motherboards were made and
not released in America or something. Is this true? If so, is there any neat
facts about it that I can pass along to him?

That's it. The last goddamned straw. If I see one more post about "doubling
the capacity of the drive" I'm getting a job at the post office. Can't the
Stacker people be sued for false advertisement? I mean, is it so hard to
say "compress the information" instead of "double the capacity of the
drive"? 

If you want something that compresses data, I think the Amiga approach which
lets one choose WHICH files get compressed and is transparent only after
compression is better. Try PowerPacker or Turbo Imploder. Turbo Imploder is 
PD, PowerPacker is not.

Mark, the A4000 is supposed to come with the dualspeed highdensity floppy 
drive that some A3000 machines have. This means you will be able to read and 
write I*M highdensity 1.44Mb floppies fine.

  I would hope that ANY compression engine would work by first compressing
  the file, and _then_ deleting the original file.  AutoDoubler on the M*C

But the sound card *isn't* here.  And isn't it the AGA chipset? :)

And the '040  4000 is overpriced as is.  Will there be any "lesser" models
or a substantial educational discount for those of us who can't *afford*
to shell out almost 4 grand?

(Only model I've heard of so far is the $3700 one with 6mb and a 120mb IDE)

   Same here.  I've owned Amigas since '87 and have been waiting for better

Ayup. Got my A1000 in '86 or '87 (I think '86), but I'll have to relegate it
to doing the audio stuff a new clone won't do if that's the way we go.

I have been using a Quantum 120LPS drive sinse since April or May of this year,
in an Amiga 3000, as the second internal drive, with no problems. The HDToolBox
shows it as "QUANTUM LP120S GM120S01X 4.6" It coexists nicely with the original
"QUANTUM LP52S  950509405 2.8" that came with the A3000, and an A3070 tape drive.

Those numbers are blocks (488 bytes/block) which looks right for a 52Meg drive
(49.8Meg) and the % used is indeed 23% (blocks used/total blocks)
23646/(23646+78410) = 23%.

I hope this explains it...

No, all production RAMSEYs are the same version.

This could happen if your machine had page-mode memory in it but somehow was
convinced it has static-column memory.  The only obvious way this can happen
is if you mix memory types (the software only checks the first bank for the
type of memory) or if you use something like SetRAMSEY to force static-column
mode to be set (in which case, you get what you deserve).

When the 68030 burst mode is off, no burst requests are made.  Burst requests
are really prefetches into the '030's cache, so when caches are off, the
setting of the burst enables is unimportant.  Your machine is dying when you
enable burst requests.  It sounds to me like you have somehow told RAMSEY
that you're using static-column memory, but you actually have page-mode in 
one or more banks.
