Actually ( :-) ), the report was that it failed after "upgrading" to
2.05.  Since 2.05 was a fiddle for the A600, unless the ROM was changed
also, I presume it is only the disk based stuff that is different from
2.04, and should be substantially unchanged from what I am using.
I still have a 1.3 ROM, but can zkick to 37.175 without powering down,
and the VD0: that I started under 1.3 is still intact after changing to
2.04 and 2.10 - can't go back though, as the killzkick works by destroying
things.

hey, I'm a proud (albeit not so incredibly happy) user of an Amiga 500 with 1
meg and a SINGLE Floppy drive.  I think I have been able to do some really
good work with my machine, and it has served me faithfully for almost 5 years.
However, I haven't had the money to sink into a really good system.  For those
of us on limited budgets, at least speaking for myself, there is nothing
inherently wrong or bad with a single floppy system.  Should you decide to fund
my purchase of a "better" system, then so be it.  Otherwise, I'm doing just
fine.  Really, I am......really....sob sob whimper.

It all depends on how much money you want to spend.
Kodak has digitizing package that replaces the back plate of a
Nikon F4 SLR camera. With a Portable Battery, CD rom, and software, the price
tag is roughly $20,000. for over 1200 X 1000 pixels with colour.
Rollei in Germany has similar but more expensive system that digitizes at
10,000 by 10,000 pixels I think for over $50,000.

I would really like to have system without the bells and whistles






that would replace the back plate on my own SLR, similar to the Kodak
deal, but without the software and cd rom. Kodak will not sell the system
in pieces though. You have to buy the camera, cdrom and everything else.

Well, the A1000 DID have a built in disk drive.  The keyboard wasn't great

Ditto!!!  I recently downloaded a PD utility program, from a local BBS.  When
I pulled down one of the menu's, I saw a few choice words that DID NOT belong
there.  The programmer was obviously working with a grade-school mentality.  I
thought about editing the program to change the vulgarities, but then about a
nano-second later, I decided to simply delete the program all together.  I
think the better choice was made.

Easy, turn your monitor on its side :-)

Sorry couldn't resist that. I too am using TM2 and would be interested
in any sensible replies to this. Also I notice some programs eg
Aquery, April (point package) which use a user selected editor as part

Like school. :)  I think I must have learned every swear word not from TV, or
anything else, but from school.  Alcohol, drugs, all that stuff your kids will
be subjected can probably be found at school.  Prepare them well for that.

OBJ Amiga stuff:

Not to waste bandwidth.  Does anybody really use the 1280x400 mode?  I found
myself using it all the time.  Its great.  Once you get used to the flicker.
The mode doesn't work with multisyncs though.  (Unless I hear, that you can
scan down to 15.75kHz)

as a recoverable RAM device?

	I just got off the phone with Hypermedia Concepts, and the
disc does NOT have an error.  The problem appears to be unique to
AsimCDFS, the CDROM filesystem.  Several other systems, including
the Xetec software and CDTV, can read the directory with no problems.

	I sent a letter to Asimware about this.

I think it is possible to manually solve this problem. Just count the number
of entries in the dock and type the number in the "# columns" gadget (not

Subject: An Amiga Christmas
Organization: University of Waterloo
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1992 16:03:43 GMT

I got to thinking last night (actually, late last night) that to _advertise_
the multimedia aspects of the Amiga (in storefronts, for example), someone
should create a demo like the C64s had.  You know the one... "A C64 Christmas"
or some such.  That demo must have sold a lot of C64s around the holiday
season...

Most Amigans have seen the NewTek "Demo Reels" with Maxine Headroom and
"Paranoimia" playing in the background.  Why not produce a series of "Christmas
Reels"?

I'm suggesting it rather than _doing_ it since, to tell the truth, I can't
draw a straight line with a ruler (or an Amiga, for that matter 8).  But I've
got some ideas that are workable, IMHO:

1) A Christmas demo, like the C64's, with animations and music.
2) Perhaps written in AmigaVision (a Commodore product).
3) Modular; i.e. you can get one disk or twenty with anims, or assign volumes
   on the hard drive, and it will cycle through whatever you've got.
	e.g. CHRISTMAS1: Frosty the Snowman demo
	     CHRISTMAS2: The Holly and the Ivy demo
		...
	     CHRISTMASx: Christmas at Ground Zero demo 8)
	If CHRISTMAS1: is present, play it.
	If CHRISTMAS2: is present, play it.
		...
	If CHRISTMASx: is present, play it.
   A single- or multi-drive user could play each one separately, or swap disks
   when appropriate.  A hard-drive user could just copy each disk to a
   directory, make the assigns and run forever.  If enough were available,
   press a CDTV disc with all of them.
4) Take advantage of "The Amiga."  The candle flame in the C64 version was
   nice with its animated sprite, but imagine what an animated hires HAM flame,
   with wax dripping down the side of a digitized candle would look like.  Add
   an arrangement of "Silent Night" or "The Holly and the Ivy" with
   traditional instrumentation, and you're set.  Or a Mannheim-
   Steamroller-esque "Deck The Halls" with Eric Schwartz creatures running
   around, decorating the screen.
5) MAKE THEM FREELY REDISTRIBUTABLE.  Send them to Fred Fish.  Have contests in
   user groups.  Take them to dealers.  (Commodore--_send_ them to dealers.)

Perhaps it's just a late-night idea.  But how many dealers selling MPCs have
them actually _doing_ all the things they say they can?  Let people _see_ what
the Amiga can do, rather than just put a game on to sell it.

Anyway, it's a thought....

	Just a warning for all those FTP people who want to use archie.au.
It is a MIRROR of wuarchive.wustl.edu! So that means two things. If you're
outside Australia, you SHOULD NOT NEED to access archie.au - choose a closer
mirror instead. If you're inside Australia, you shouldn't need to use
wuarchive. The reason I say this is I believe the Australia-US link has been
quite overloaded lately from external FTP traffic. It may not be the Amiga
people, but I thought I'd mention it. Now if archie.au would only mirror
amiga.physik.unizh.ch, I wouldn't need to FTP outside Australia at all!
(Well, maybe Fish Disks...)
