Subject: Question about ICD AdSpeed - please help!
Organization: Geometry Center, University of Minnesota
Date: Mon, 16 Nov 1992 21:06:41 GMT

I just bought an AdSpeed.  I have a 1000, running 1.3
Here's my problem:  The 1000 doesn't boot up in 14 mhz mode.  When
I take the jumper off the AdSpeed and turn on the machine, it just sits
there with a gray screen, and doesn't even ask for a Kickstart disk or 
anything.  Thats no problem, because it will boot with the jumper on.
But, its a pain in the butt to start up the adspeed program everytime
I turn on my machine and have to go up to the menu with the mouse
to put it in 14 mhz mode.  There is a sample piece of code in the manual,
which is C code with some assembler in it.  This piece of code states
that the assembly command   move #0,$b00000  will put the adspeed in 14 mhz
mode.  Well, I wrote a tiny little piece of assembly code which executes
this instruction, and then ends.  It looks like this:
 
 move #0,$b00000
 end
 
 It compiles fine (with a68k). When I run it, it does indeed change the speed
 of the processor, but it also crashes my machine.  Does anybody have any
 suggestions, or know of some code which is already done and known to work?
 I really just want a program that I can put in the startup-sequence that
 will put the adspeed into 14 mhz mode.
 
 Please send mail to coultn@carleton.edu or coultn@phobos.mathcs.carleton.edu.
 
 Thanks!

Hello netters,

	I don't know if this is a FAQ, but here it goes...
I have a TV modulator for the A500 borrowed from a friend.
I want to know the pin description of the video output
connector (system end), including the Voltages of color
components expected by the modulator.
	My idea was to plug (God knows how) the modulator
in a VGA card so that I can display images on a TV set.
I'm working in computer animation and ray tracing. My
problem is to display the images on a TV set for later
VTR recording.
	If anyone has an idea of how I could do this,
I would be gratefull...
	By the way, my work is being done under the UNIX
environment and my program generates a sequence of ray-
traced images that I can port to the PC. However, I don't
have any VGA or simillar card that produces an RF signal.

		Thank's in advance

Yesterday, I replaced the 68EC030/40 of my A530 by an 68030/50. It
works rather fine. Enforcer runs, but I have a bit trouble with 
SetCPU KICKROM, which resets the machine, but does not bring up
the new kickstart. But the reason may be my nonstandard system:
  A1000 with A530 (68030 + 68882) 40 MHz
  2 MB ChipRAM
  4 MB FastRAM 32 Bit
  Harddisk Q425S

It works without resetting any jumpers.

Greetings,

I may have the opportunity to get a good deal on a 3000T/040 system
and am wondering about copmpatibility between it and the 4000
series.  I am into lots of disc space and tape backups, so like the
idea of the the tower and the 3000 SCSI chain.  But I don't want to
get something that will immediately cause compatibility problems
(heck, if I wanted that, I'd just keep expanding my 1000.)  Does
the 3000T/040 run Amiga Dos 3.0 or 2.0*?  Are there any major
differences?  Will 3.0 4000 stuff run on the 3000T?  I know it
doesn't have the AGA and will probably not ever have it.  Are there
any other critical differences in favor of the 4000 of which I
should be aware?  Will software bought tomorrow work? I am also
looking for a Fotran compiler which will take advantage of the 040
chip.  Is there such a compiler, or am I stuck to using f2c?

Thanks,
Scot

I'm also using an A4000 and have a Samsung SyncMaster 3 SVGA monitor.  It
does not support the 15kHz or Super72 modes, but everything else is okay
and I've found very little serious software that doesn't work.  

I get the same 676 and 640 wide screens, but my Productivity mode is wider
than dlbNTSC.  Another weird thing is that my monitor is much darker in 
the Productivity modes than in the dblNTSC and dblPAL modes.  So much so
that I would have to adjust the brightness were I too use those modes.

I really don't see any disadvantage to using Productivity, but I've been
using dblNTSC as it seems to work better for me.

BTW, I have been using CPUBlit with the -b option and the scrolling text
is much nicer.  There is no breakup, even in the 256 color mode.  I have
been using a 64 color Workbench most of the time and the speed is about
on par with the 8 color Workbench on the A3000.

Also, if you don't like the border, try BBlank.  It works much better than
the old Border program and even removes the borders of screens other than
the Workbench.

  The Amiga 1000 had a modular telephone connector for it's keyboard.  (I
don't know why they changed it, I loved the thing.)  So it is possible that
this adaptor will work, but I don't know if the IBM's clock is the same or
not; you'll just have to try ti to find out, I guess.  At your own risk, of
course!

the following price was listed for the rembrandt:

     Rembrandt, Progressive Peripheral, 3995.95 3298.71
      (34020 and co-proc., I think 16 megs ram)

as for the vivid, I do not believe it has been released yet, but the price for it
is about the same, I think the RRP for just the base unit
       (34020, 8 megs?? no extras for video In/out, etc...
          the official press release was posted here sometime ago, I
	  don't have it, but somebody could post it again)
      is approximately $2000   (though it could be A LOT more)

   your best bet is to call DMI or Progressive peripherals and Software for
their own prices and info.

Well, from the VAX Hardware Handbook, the VAX 11/730 handles it this way:

"The ECC scheme used in the memory subsystem is capable of detecting a single
or double bit error.  It is also capable of correcting all single bit errors.
This is accomplished by storing eight check bits, along with the 64 data bits
in each memory location (i.e. quadword access to memory).  Each check bit is
generated by parity-checking selected groups of data bits in the given data
quadword.  When parity is again checked during a read, an incorrect bit will be
detected by the parity-checking logic and will develop a unique 8-bit syndrome
which will identify the bit in error.  Error correction logic may thus correct
the bit in error.  There are 72 unique syndromes pointing to individual bits in
the coded quadword."

This may not explain how the any memory connected to a Unibus adapter may error
correct, but it does indicate how by using a single parity bit per byte, when
combined into a quadword, can be very useful.

Somewhere I have a document on the actual method used to achieve this.  I shall
have to look for it.

Greetings...

Reconsidering my finances (*groan*) I realize that my plans of purchasing an
A4000 are, well, toast. So, for the next year I think I'm stuck with my pitiful
500. SO.... at least I want to pump a bit of money into it in the hopes of at
least being able to do something productive with it (20 minute compiles
have got to go).

My first thought is to buy GVP's new A530 (68030 + 120 meg HD).  But, the
120 Meg (largest that seems to be available) is a bit short on HD space (I
am also running a BBS)... so, now I'm torn between getting a Syquest 88 Meg
removable drive (this drive can be attached to the A530's scsi passthru, can't
it?) or the AdIde and get rid of my internal floppy. Which offers the better
solution? I've heard a few bad thing about the syquest drives and IDE speaks
for itself (some things are better mute :) ). Are there other alternatives
that I'm not considering?  Is there an easy way to attach another scsi drive
to the A530 controller and just have the second drive in "yet another"
external case?

Lastly, I've inquired about this a couple of times in the past, but might as
well throw it in once again for good measure :) Is there any easy way of adding
an additional serial port to the 500 without resorting to the hardware hack 
that's floating around? I would love to have a second port, however the
hardware hack would be a bad idea considering my harware skills *grin*

Please reply by email since my feed tends to be down a lot.  I will summarize
to the net if anyone would like and/or I get any response :-)

I'm about to break the bank and order one of these things but before I
do I really want to feel that I'm making the right choice, not so much
for the money involved but the money->usefulness equation involved.

I basically want it as a rendering device, something one might expect
to use a Harlequin frame buffer or RAMbrandt card for (I actually
tried ordering both of those items but couldn't seem to get a firm
price on the Harlequin out of anyone and the RAMbrandt appears to have
some real availability problems since the fire).  I realize that both
of the cards I just mentioned are a lot more expensive, so I'm not
necessarily expecting the OpalVision to do EVERYTHING they do, but it
would be a nice bonus if it provided more value for the money that
either of them, naturally.

One thing that also bothered me about the RAMbrandt and Harlequin both
is that they involved me tossing out my flicker fixer card and going
back to a non-interlaced workbench.  UGH!  Does the OpalVision handle
this?  This is one of the reasons I was having reason to look at the GVP
product, recently..  When I'm not rendering, I do tend to want to actually
get some programming work done on the machine and a flicker fixer is a
very nice thing to have..  I'd hate to have to give it up.

So, can anyone tell me a little about their experiences with OpalVision?
Has anyone used it as an output device for Imagine and/or Vista Pro and
liked it?  (I realize that Vista Pro doesn't support it directly [shame]
but does produce IFF24 images that could be used..)

Many thanks..

Wasn't the A2500 released with a 68020? I think the original poster wanted
a comparison with the 68020 in the A1200 and a A2000 with a 68020. If not,

I felt left out with all this monitor talk :-) 


Ok, I have a 4000 and a Panasonic PanaSync C1391 monitor.  Yes it syncs to
all the modes!  BUT, DBLNTSC seems to be squashed on the horizontal.  For
example, the horizontal width for 'DBLNTSC:High Res No Flicker' is 676 (with
overscan.  'MULTISCAN:Productivity' gives me 640.  However, the productivity
mode is physically wider on screen than the dblntsc mode!  This makes all
the dblntsc stuff looked squashed.

Is this a product of my particular monitor, or has this been noticed on other
monitors?  I'm considering getting a new monitor and would like to know if
this is to be expected from multisyncs.

Incedently this has caused me to use productivity whenever possibile instead
of dblntsc.  Anyone see a disadvantage to this?

Thanks!
