Actually, it is sold with a 40 Mb HD over here in Europe also. The first ones
had a 20 Mb HD, but this was changed later.

It seems like you have to find someone who had an old 2.0 SuperK

or someone who's willing to swap with you.

  Yes there is!  I am running that exact setup myself currently.  I am using a version on emacs that is designed to work off the AUX: port.

Really?  I thought that IDE drives just couldn't do some things that
the SCSI drives do.  Like low level formats. Not really up on IDE
drives though.  Sounds like the best has been made of the IDE.

Question:  Can a system support both IDE and SCSI drives at the same
time.  That is say I buy one and use the IDE and later decide to get a
SCSI card.  Could I still use the IDE and can I boot off the SCSI and
use the IDE as a secondary dirve?

Maybe I'm lucky??   Actually there was ONE thing that did not work..  namely
Cygnus Editor.  When called using TollsDaemon my machine would Guru whenever 
an attempt was made to open up the requester.  I solved this problem by 
running CED in WB mode from toolsDaemon rather than CLI mode (as I originally
had it..  I used to run CED from my C: dir... becasue I had so many 
things set to call it up...  like diskmaster and dir opus...)

  UNIX LHa is available for anonymous FTP at lysator.liu.se in the

for Amiga LhA.

  Use `rz'. It should be installed on your system if `sz' is.

So don't. CBM isn't forcing you to buy new hardware. Nobody in their
right mind will be writing software that _requires_ the new chip set
for quite a while (I'd guess between a year or two). And your machine
(and mine) will be just as usefull after they announce a new chip set
as it was before. So what's the rush?

That approach predates the IBM-PC by quite a bit. DEC minis have been
doing it for a long time. My second micro (bought when the Apple-II+
was a hot machine) had a 20+ slot bus with a 24-bit address space, and
_everything_ plugged into the bus: CPU cards, all IO controllers, the
front panel.

Of course, that's _not_ what PC clones are doing. As far as I know,
none of them have put a CPU on the bus; most put a couple of I/O
controllers on the motherboard, some have disk and/or mouse ports on
the motherboard. The latest thing is to build a proprietary bus on the
motherboard for video, so you can get CPU-speed access to the video
card. Sound familiar?

Well, if DPaint V does indeed support AA, then those "hires-modes" will
be almost unusable with 2MB of chip ram.  1280x400x8+overscan
will be like working with an A500 with 512K of chip at 640x400x4+overscan.

I still want to know why C= can't get 800x600x8 deinterlaced.  
My PC is displaying that right now.

As I understand it, the author has been notified of the problem.  The fix is
adding one line of code to a clean-up section, so that a buffer is flushed and
font/type changes are recognised.  So I still would appreciate it if someone
did me the personal favour of sending me a fixed binary.

Yes it should, but it doesn't.  Just to be sure, I completely reinstalled
sas c 5.10a on my HD.  The lmkfile was still unable to complete.

If it's really properly programmed then there is no problem at all.
But sorry, this cannot be said for every software. Games have often
problems, but my guess is that it's mostly the 040 they stumble over
and not the new OS or the new custom chips. But this is really only
a guess and I can't substantiate it further.

I remember someone writing about that sometime ago, and he stated that the 2090

 Well, did you read the Docs of ToolsDaemon ? Nico states that ToolsDaemon
 is a _hack_. (RTFM and look out for 'Red Alert' :-)

 It's a hack, because it provides Columns in the Tools-Menu-Item, which is
 not previewed by CBM.

 Anyway, if you really want to use the Tool-Menu, use ToolManager. This one
 even supports a Dock. (Or wait for Toolmanager 2.0 , this one will bring
 the revolution on your Workbench...)

The other day I FTP'ed SiliconMenus from amiga.physik and instantly fell in 
love with the pop-up-menu feature.  The problem is, I also rely HEAVILY on 
ToolsDaemon 2.0b and these two utils do NOT coexist peacefully.  I can't 
exactly explain what's going wrong, but here's what happens:  After 
starting an application and using the pop-up-menus a bit, my resident Avail 
command becomes corrupted (I run a cron program that cleans my VD0: every 
minute and flushes my memory every 5 mins.) and hits me with a recoverable 
error.  I've tried the program PopUpMenu and even the older, more OS 
"legal" version of ToolsDaemon, and the same thing happens.  But, without 
ToolsDaemon running, SiliconMenus works perfectly.  Is anyone else having 
problems experiencing problems with SiliconMenus and a similar Tools menu 
utility?  Is there something I can do to fix this (aside from giving up 
ToolsDaemon)?  As always, thanks in advance...
