 DO YOU READ YOU'RE OWN POSTS? As previously speculated, the REASON why
no mother board upgrade was forthcoming on the A3000 was by virtue of the
that there IS a CPU on the board, and it would be assinine to engineer a
motherboard upgrade for this machine when an A4000 does ALL of the tasks

I purchased a Boing Optical mouse (manufactured by MCS Tech.) well over
2 years ago and it has worked flawlessly.  However, lately I've noticed
that my middle button does not respond for any utilities that make
use of it, e.g. DME by Matthew Dillon.

Does anyone owning one of these little critters have a functional middle
button, or did MCS Tech. disable it for use on the Amiga?  Is there a
possibility of activating it if that's the case?  (I'm a software guy)
Any recommendations on other entirely optical mice with a working middle
button for the Amiga?

Thanks,

It's not very critical, any fuse of about 1 Amp will do the trick or
you can just substitute a 1/4 watt 1-5 Ohm resistor.  The only reason
we put the fuse there is to satisfy US "Underwriters Laboratory"
rules that limit the current that you can draw from any exposed port
of the machine.  On the A500, the power supply provides the currently
limiting, on the systems with slots, we used fuses or now "Polyswitches"
that act as self-reseting circuit breakers.

And if several screens are redirected at the same time is it possible to

Ive recently had to decide between getting an a530 accelerator board for my A500
or a 486 workstation. As linux and Xfree86 are already out for the 486 this
means that I get a 50MHz Xwindows workstation for about a 1000 pounds (+VAT).

My question is , as the 486 will come with a 210MB hard-drive, would it be
possible for me to share it between the PC and the amiga. My guess is that it
wont be so practical, so the follow-up question is can I cheaply network the PC
and the amiga (eg via SLIP) and exactly how?

any sensible answers for this pretty daft question?

	Sorry, but you have not followed the discussion carefully
enough.  This is NOT a fact.  Old screenmodes automatically get promoted
to non-interlaced or scan-doubled modes.

	The ONLY exceptions are programs that break the programming
rules and directly specify these screens.

Y'know, Marc, you CAN plug an A2320 display enhancer in the A4000's
video slot. You now have access to ALL the _exact_ same modes in an
A3000. Simply select ECS from the boot menu when you boot up.

You can even hook two monitors up, and have one for extra colors, and
one for your goofy extra 40 horizontal pixels that are all so
important.

Sheesh. I've never seen such a desperate cry for attention in public.

In fact, it will even 'outperform' certain system resources like the serial I/
O port. Qute. But then, there's no need to worry, as there is a program that 
can slow down your harddisk to make the serial port work fine again. Hum. :)

Btw, the available CPU time is hardly affected by the ammount of data 
transfered via the A3000 on-board SCSI host adapter. With the 25MHz 68030 and 
other misc background utils loaded, i.e. a typical system setup, it has 87-89% 
available CPU time while moving data. With my Quantum PD240LPS I have 
transfered 2.07Mb/s (in both directions) with about 89% available CPU time.

Unfortunately, on this BBS where I read messages from, I seem to miss a lot
of messages, so I missed Marc's original response to me.  So, this is
directed to him not you:

48 pixels?  BFD.  First of all, I dont understand why it have a limited over-
scanning?  Maybe someone from Commodore can explain this (if its even true).

Secondly, 48 pixels?!?  Who cares?  I can't see 724 pixels on my monitor now,
I'm not going to miss it on an A4000 if I can get one.  I would gladly
sacrifice 48 pixels of width in exchange for 262128 more colours!!!!  I have
never heard of any programs that demand 724 pixel wide screens, either.  I
dont use overscan.  Well, I did tweek the vertical size on my monitor (a
Commodore 2002.  Yes, I'm the one with a 2002) to get an overscanned 240
pixel tall screen that fits into the same area.  Call me a rebel. :)

99% of all screens will get promoted.  That seems pretty good to me.

> >   The A2024 monitor sucks anymore.  1008x800 is not all that high of a

Tell that to Apple.  They sell a B&W little Vectrex-looking box called a Mac
Classic II, plus assorted B&W monitors for the other Macs.

I believe it has 4 shades of grey.

Considering that you can connect the A2024 to almost any Amiga, I'd say its
still a nice monitor.

Moving sprites may look weird when they're used in interlaced

True (of course ;-), but this was mainly due to a hardware

| There is a minor problem with Zorro-II style DMA cycles going into

|
| 1)  The A3000 has a SCSI DMA controller on the motherboard that is

gvpscsi.device has supported non-DMAable Fast RAM even
before the A3000 has been released (this was required for
GVP's A3001, which supported up to 32MB of Fast RAM); it
does not depend on MEMF_24BITDMA and therefore also works
under 1.3.

You might try disabling disconnect/reselect on the GVP. There are
known bugs in the WD chip GVP and CBM use. I can't use dis/res when my
tape drive is attached. One thing GVP does that's not published, but
is definitely the case (confirmed by one of their engineers), is that
even when you have dis/res enabled, the driver doesn't actually do it
until you have at lease two devices on the bus.

Hmmm.. you must have been using a defective monitor or a defective A4000.  I
used an A4000 for several hours at our local Amiga store and there was not
a bit of shimmering!  It was using a 1950 Monitor...  The only problem was
that we had to keep repositioning the picture because each mode would be
off to the right or off to the left too much.

Does anyone know if the 1960 auto-positions the screen so it is centered in
each mode?

P.S.  The HAM8 mode is simply AWESOME!  I want my AGA!  :)

P.P.S.  Does anyone know why a 256 color GIF looks better in HAM8 mode than
        in 256 color mode under ADPro?  This kind of baffled me when I was
        converting pictures on the A4000.

Does anyone know if CrossDOS can read and write MS-DOS 720 kb and 1.44 mb disk 
with the Floptical drive ?
