How do you get around the file type/creator issue? Or is this an issue? What
I'm getting at is moving files back and forth between the Amiga side and the
Mac side of the computer. At the moment, if I d/l a Mac file say living on a
PC, to my NeXT and then move it to my Mac then I MUST pass it through 
something called Mac to MacBinary ( or vice versa depending) in order to 
retain the resource part of the file.
 
While I'm at it, will Emplant support Appletalk over the Amiga's Ethernet 
board? What about Apple monitors and Emplant?

Seems interesting in any case. Good luck at the W of C=.

Hello, I want to purchase a new 386sx board for my A3000.  Can someone
give me some specs on what all I need to do?  

  Questions I have:

  Does it support the Amiga mouse?
  If no, can I get something that will let me use the Amiga mouse?

  What is the highest graphics mode it can immulate?
  Can I run the latest WP (5.1?) on it?
  Can I partition part of my harddrive to allow it to be used on IBM side.
  Are the par & ser ports usable from the IBM side?

Yes, there is a utility called AMouse. You add the line amouse to your
autoexec.bat, and make sure that you have added the janus directory
to your path and then all you have to do is press Amiga-P and then your
Amiga mouse works as an MS-DOS mouse. Or you can place a second mouse in
the second mouse port and use it without pressing Amiga-P

CGA on an Amiga Monitor, you can purchase a VGA card and monitor and 
run it that way, too.

>  Can I run the latest WP (5.1?) on it?

I don't know, but I would think that since windows 3.0 runs 
just fine on the the 2386SX Bridgeboard that there is no reason
that you couldn't run WP on it.

>  Can I partition part of my harddrive to allow it to be used on IBM side.

Yes, or you can just create a big file called a Virtual Hard Drive on 
your present partition. It runs slower than a real IBM hard drive but
with the proper amount of buffers, it should work just fine. The maximum
size of a Virtual Hard Drive is 32 MEGS. You can get a IDE controller and
drive and run it that way instead. Or you can get a multi function 
IDE and VGA card and do it that way.

>  Are the par & ser ports usable from the IBM side?  

The parallel port is emulated and most software works that way, 
the serial port is not emulated. But you can get serial board that
will allow you to use COM1 that way. COM2, IRQ3 is reserved for
Bridgeboard - Amiga communication, therefore is not available.

...more stuff deletet
 
My cousin uses the Amax II+ with MIDI.  You can either hook up a MIDI
interface to the Amax serial port (and set a switch beside it to 'serial'),
or you can get a specail cable from ReadySoft that converts the serial port
into a MIDI in and out and uses built in MIDI circuits that are on the Amax
II+ board. In this case you just flip the switch to 'MIDI'.  She uses
Finale with it, and it performs great.  Only problem is that she's using a
Citizen printer which is epson compatible, and everything prints 40%
compressed.  She's supposed to be able to get a Mac Print program (or Epson
driver) that will fix the problem.  Are you planning on using Finale? 
Finale is fantastic for editing music, notating, and DTP of music, but if
sequencing is your interest, you're better off with Bars & Pipes
Professional (which she also has).  B&P Pro is much more powerful at
sequencing, but Finale is much better for the DTP.
 
Oh, she also uses Mac format disks in the Amiga floppy drive all the time
and has no problem with it (at least no yet...she hasn't had it that long).
The Hard drive works fine as well.  Hope this helps.

first of all, if you're not running janus 2.1, get it.

second, if you haven't done the 8042 pin 6 jumper mod, do it.  4x speed

No. And that's no surprise, because you'll never find something like that

The 2000 should also work well with a BB in it. If you were looking for

The forthcoming Ambassador product from Consultron offers (among other

Date: Wed, 2 Sep 1992 07:05:04 GMT


Before I left on a 3 month trek through Europe last June, I followed
with interest the "announcement" of Emplant...the supposed omnipotent
emulator.  Upon my return, I was more than dismayed to find almost
no concrete proof of its existence had been presented.  There has been
little said to deny the accusations of vaporware.

My dilemma is such:  I need a mac emulator for my Amiga 3000, and I need
it soon.  I want MIDI compatibility...and color would be nice too.

I have heard claims that Amax II+ supports MIDI, but not color.  It
is supposed to allow the use of Amiga drives to read Mac disks.

Nowhere have I heard MIDI mentioned with regard to Emplant.  Emplant's 
descriptions have been grandiose but rather vague.  (For instance,
why does Emplant make it simple to emulate a 386/486 machine?)  

Since I have these bits and pieces of knowledge about these emulators,
my questions are these:

1. Does anyone own Amax II+...and does it work as it claims to (without
   destroying anything vital on the Amiga)?

2. Does _anyone_ believe Emplant is for real?

3. If Emplant does exist, does its description hint that there are things
   Amax II+ could do that it couldn't accomplish?


Any knowledge that anyone has on these topics would greatly help me
come to a decision regarding which emulator (if I have a choice) to
buy.

Thanks,

I've been playing around with AMAX-2 as well as a powerbook 100. I already

Amigas.

I took a look at Insight development Corp.'s MacPrint which contains quite a 
number of printer drivers for the Mac. Unfortunately, all of their drivers 
work with the printers' native emulations and not postscript.

Has anyone come across a Mac printer driver that sends postscript output via 
the serial port as opposed to the official LaserWriter driver that insists on 
using appletalk protocol?
