[ Posted on Thu, 7 Jan 1993 14:51:18 GMT ]

I just purchased a used DigiView Gold (4.0?) and the only documentation
that came with it indicated it was a hardware manual, which leads me to
believe there may also be a software manual. Most of the controls are
fairly self explanatory however some things could definitely use some
clarification.  Does anyone know whether there is actually a software
manual as well, and what the latest software revision might be?

I've grabbed some pictures with it already and everything seems to work
OK, however there seems to be a fair amount of red saturation in the
pictures.  I'm using (I think) a "ROMBO" (or something like that)
electronic colour splitter with it, and wondering whether the extra red
is characteristic of the DigiView or the colour splitter.  If it is
the splitter, could it be component drift or some adjustment problem?
Any ideas anyone? (p.s. it is not the camera's problem!) Also, does
anyone know what the DB23 (or 25?) connecter on the back of the colour
splitter is for? - could it possibly have the individual RGB and sync
components coming out there?

Thanks in advance,
                   Ken.

Where is the forthcoming DSP module going to plug in? I have heard rumors
that it will plug into the CPU slot, meaning the lowest model able to use
this board would be a 1200 (correct?). I am interested in the speech
synthesis capabilities of this new board. (DB, this is up your alley)

I had this same problem with my Dataflyer SCSI without the RDB ROM.  I
called them up and they confirmed it was a problem.  They finally
finished the patch on Jan 6th and sent it to me by modem.  If lots

The two hrs to backup a 40 meg isn't the problem with the backup card/SW
but the problem that consumer VCRs can only go as fast as 2hrs/T-120 tape.
If one uses a special video tape device which can write faster then it would
cost a lot more than the original $250 for the 2hr setup. What do want for

Hi!    From what I have heard the Rocket Launcher is small board that 
plugs in the 030/882 sockets on the A2630 and that on board doubbles
the Frequentie ffor the 030/882 to 50Mhz. (kind a DX2)

The A2630 (old board-part) remains at 25Mhz so no chips should be replaced.
The R.L. even seems to work with A2632 and acces32 (extra RAM doughterboards).

Hope this is all true,

All the good software work using KS2.0. Thus, also on the A4000.

Just for general knowledge...

The advertisement for the A2024 monitor at Software Hut is
incorrect with respect to the resolution.  From the owner's
manual, the resolution is 1008 x 800 in NTSC format.  PAL is 
1008 x 1024.

I haven't gotten around to telling them yet.  I figure someone
should if it may sell a few more.  Check 'em out.

BTW, AMAX 2.0 has a mode to support the A2024 (w/o flicker :).
However, if the preferences are set to utilize any more than
the chip ram (2 megs), three vertical white lines (rather three lines
where the normal video does not appear as anything but white lines)
appear dividing the screen.  Does the latest version of AMAX support
the A2024, and if so, does it exhibit the same *problem*.

May I assume it is hardware related?  Again, it does not occur when
the MMU is not used.

Thanks.

The problem is not the 68000, the problem is the lack of Fast Memory.  My

Is there a way to speed up the 2620's '030 processor beyond the stock 25 mhz
provided? I was under the impression that this was an asynchronous design,
and I also know that it's very easy to run the '882 at any speed you have
a crystal for. Can the processor be clocked up in any way short of buying

I have an A2500 with:

		(total 10MB RAM)
	Toaster
	two Personal TBC IIs

SO FAR I have had no problem with the original power supply -- indeed
the system runs very nicely. I am worried though that adding anything
else will break the power supply's back. For example the new sound board
from Sunrise. What recommendations to folks have for a power supply upgrade?

Actually what I need is a 2000 TOWER -- as the isn't much room left inside
this machine. Where should I look for a 2000 expansion case?

  How about the following specs for an A2400 (a purely hypothetical machine!)

1. Full 68030 CPU at 25MHz
2. Socket for 68881/68882 at x clock-speed
3. Case similar to the A3000
4. Same CPU expansion slot as the A3000, so that those '040 cards already
   designed can simply be bought and used in the A2400.
5. Clock/Calendar chip installed
6. Double-speed floppy drive (880-1760K)
7. IDE or preferably SCSI controller
8. Three Zorro-III slots, including one video slot inline with a Zorro slot
9. CPU slot (see item 4)
10.Good price (ie. U.S.$1600)

  Any suggestions out there?

   You may want to put linear 0-470 kOhm potentiometers on the Pot-X

There is no physical connection from the Amiga to the IBM slots inside
the 2000 (at least on my rev 6), so without a BridgeBoard you're kinda
stuck.  I've always been an advocate of sticking something into a
BridgeBoard slot to access the extra 3 (one is taken up by the bridge)
AT slots.

This isn't true, since my GVP drive boots from a Quantum with ID 0, and
yet still scans and finds the slow, old Miniscribe at ID 1 which has a
lower boot priority.  But I also have the problem that I have to turn
on the Miniscribe 20secs or more before the computer, so that the
drive is recognised on startup.  At least it's an external drive.
