My method of that is a bit different.  The boot partition on my hard drive
is just under a meg.  That means I can keep a complete backup of that
partition LHA'ed onto a single bootable workbench disk with enough system
on it to restore that partition.  It works great.  A single system backup
disk is convenient to use and keep updated.

One other though is NEVER keep the only copy of your hard disk tools
(like FixDisk) on the hard disk.  I keep a special "Red Cross" disk
with those tools on them.

Also, are there any other Ram expansion kits out there worth mentioning?
I would like to get an external one, with a pass-thru becasue I already

I simply went to my Amiga dealer and asked for a multi-sync monitor
adapter for my A500.  I am able to use the 1381A without a flicker fixer
by connecting the MS cable included with the 1381 to the adapter and
plugging the adapter into the RGB port.  Cost $30.

>also - if anybody has experiance with this monitor, I was wondering if anybody
>has used the video portion of it  - I am having problems with vertical sync.

Did you get yours from Source Electronics International?

A friend and I bought a couple of their 1381A's and found that the
composite video was not set up properly.  Further, the monitors looked
like they may have been demos or returned to the store as defective.
The cases and screens are without blemishes, but the boxes appear to
have been opened.

Fortunately I'm a fairly good DIY'er and was able to center and square
the picture using a laserdisk and video camera as sources.  It took
about 3 hours for me to find the POT that adjusts horizontal centering
on my friend's 1381.

Now both of our 1381's look real good in composite and RGB modes.

I'd sure like to know what the deal is with Source.  My receipt says
"all items are sold on 'as is' basis unless otherwise stated on
invoice".  They sound slightly shady.  I don't even have a warranty
card to send in to Mitsubishi.

systems.

Here's my $0.50.  Please take this stuff with a grain of salt, as not
all of my details may be entirely correct.  At work I use PC's with
MS-DOS, MS-Windows, and Novell Netware.  At home I have an
unaccelerated Amiga 2000 with OS 2.04.  I can't comment on 2.1, but I
can give you a first hand comparison between PC's and Amigas.

Workbench on the Amiga is comparable to Windows on a PC in that both
are really applications that are run by the operating system, and both
are used to provide a graphical user interface to launch tasks.  But
that's where the similarity ends.

On a PC, Windows is basically an application masquerading as an
operating system, or an operating system masquerading as an
application, or a kluge, depending on how you look at it.
Multitasking is done by Windows (not by MS-DOS or BIOS).

On the Amiga, Workbench is basically just an application to provide a
convenient method of launching tasks.  Graphics and multitasking are
already part of the operating system (AmigaDOS).  Multitasking is
integrated into the Amiga at the lowest levels, whereas on the PC
it's an afterthought.

A major compromise in PC Windows is that you are still using BIOS and
the MS-DOS filesystem in order to maintain DOS compatibility.  At
some point you will have to switch to "real mode" (8086 mode) to
access the disk or other BIOS-driven device.  In addition, when you
are in BIOS you can not multitask.  Simple things like copying or
formatting disks in the background are impossible with Windows.

AmigaDOS allows an application to use it's own screen, graphics, and
windows, independent of all other applications (including
Workbench).  MS-Windows applications are stuck in whatever graphics
mode that Windows booted up in.  If you want to use another graphics
mode in MS-Windows, you can not multitask.

If you want to run an MS-Windows application, you MUST run Windows.
If you want to multitask, your application must be designed to run
with MS-Windows.  MS-DOS applications CAN multitask to some extent in
an MS-DOS window in Windows 3.1 on a 386 or better.

Here are some major advantages of typical AmigaDOS applications (games
excluded) over Windows applications as I see them:

*   Window refresh and response are usually faster
*   Usually require much less memory
*   Take up much less disk space
*   Usually faster than a PC with an equivalent CPU

The kermit protocol was never designed to be fast.  It was design to
be easitly implemented on various combinations of computer hardware
and operating system software.  The folks at Columbia realized this
and came up with extensions to the protocol (such as sliding windows,
and continuous streaming, which btw is what makes zmodem so fast)
which give zmodem type performance while still retaining the ability
to transfer files with older implementations.

C-Kermit Version 5 is the result of these efforts. The latest release
has just been posted to the AmiNet.  It comes with the full source in
C.  C-Kermit runs on a large collection of platforms, including Amiga,
and not including MS-DOS (ms-dos has its on specfic version).

C-Kermit has a server mode.  I run it in the background in server mode,
and then I transfer files to my other computer (A TRS-80 Model 4 running
CP/M kermit) in the background.  I can send and receive files from the
Amiga using kermit remote commands on the model 4.  I can even run
programs on the Amiga, and have the output come out on the Model 4.

Note that C-Kermit does not provide any terminal emulation except
a dumb terminal.  VT100 or its variants will provide that as they
do right now quite nicely.

Hello Again!

Is it conceivable to connect IBM Analogue Joystick to Amiga's port?

If so, how should we do it??

Any infos will be greatly appreciated!

There is a device that allows you to use an IBM analog joystick with the
Amiga.  Check out a current issue of Amazing Computing for an ad.
Sorry, I can't recall the name.
 Another solution---call one of the bigger mail order houses.  Briwall or
Creative Computing should be able to tell you. They have numbers in their
ads.  I think the device is in the $20-$40 range.
