T >   o Does anyone know of this board and how it works?
nope but i think i can help , having wired my own kickstart eliminator from
scrathc

T >   o Can I use 1.2 ROM with 1.3 Workbench?
I used that setup for YEARS ! never had a problem
the only thing 1.3 KS really adds is the autoboot from HD

T >   o Can I simply stick a 1.3 ROM on the board and have it work?
if the board you are using has a genuine 1.2 rom ( the 40 pins jobs , Nooooo
problem whatsoever . the restriction is because some kickstart eliminators
reporgrammed it into EPROMS ( 4 of them ) those you'd have to program 1.3
into a similar set of eproms

T >   o Can Amiga 1000s use Workbench 2.0?  Can I get a disk based
I'm doing so now !

T >     Workbench 2.0 for use on the Amiga 1000?
not unless you are a developper , you gotta get the rom . your kickstart
eliminator might even support it . ( some did not have the extra address
line ) but if your eliminator remaps the old kickstart ram at F80000 , you
will have to disable that because 2.0 uses that for it's extensions . if
your eliminator remaps the ram at c00000 then you are in business !

T >        o I have heard of a product called Kwickstart--what is it
T >     exactly?  Does it come with 1.3/2.0 ROM installed?
basically a kickstart eliminator that allows you to go back to a disk based
kickstart if you want to .

Does anyone know if there is software to test the
buffer ram on the 2090 and 2091 SCSI controllers?
We have at least three 2000's that have scsi problems
They often hang up when doing large transfers between
2 different drives (or partitions).  One board was
so bad, that it would routinely hang up when you
duplicated an empty drawer.  It turned out that one
of the RAM chips (on what I assume is a buffer) had
a pin that was bent and making little or no contact.
Fixing that reduced most of the problems, but it still hangs.

I imagine that a normal ram test would not be able to
see buffer ram, so is there a C= test utility to tell
me which is bad?  (Dave ?)

Thanks,

Hi there,

Has anyone ever tried an succeeded in opening an A500 power-supply?
I'd like to open mine because it isn't function anymore, but I don't
know how to.

There could be four screws at the bottom (at least there seem to be, but there
covered by plastic), or is it just a squeeze-and-pull action ?

Are there by the way any fuses inside, or can I just better by a new one ?

Any help is much appreciated

      Hello fellow Amiga users.  I am posting this as a warning to all who have
even the slightest urges to do business with Grapevine Group Inc.  I placed an
order for 2 CIA chips last Tuesday.  Upon ordering I ask if the chips were in
stock and was informed that they were.  After a week passed I decided to call
and find out if my chips had shipped yet.  I was told by the operator that the
chips had not been shipped because they were on backorder, so I cancelled my
order so that I could get them from a closer business (who will most likely 
have them to me tomorrow).  I re-ordered the chips from the other business and
an hour and a half later got a call from Grapevine informing me that my order
had been shipped yesterday.  I told her what had happened and asked that I not
have to pay the re-stocking fee.  No such luck.  She goes on to tell me that *I*
told *her* that the chips were on backorder so I cancelled after they had 
shipped.  Anyway....To cover up her mistake she accused me of saying something
I didn't, and then when I denied it, she accused me of telling her a lie.
	Although I did get the problem cleared up with the manager, I'd suggest
you find another place for your purchasing needs.

   (Sorry for the length)

P.S.  I'd seen posts about their bad practices before but I chose to ignore
   them.  Maybe the net isn't such a bad place for information after all. =)

   The scan-doubled and promoted NTSC and PAL modes (DblNTSC and DblPAL) are
output at 31Khz.  The standard NTSC and PAL (and their Super HiRes modes) are
output at 15Khz.  The Productivity modes are output at 31Khz.  And the Super72
modes are output at 24.62Khz.

   If you need a cable, I would advise contacting Redmond Cable.  I got a cable
from them back a couple of years ago when I needed to connect an A500 to an
AOC multisync monitor.

Pin 7 is the ground pin...but it won't (or at least shouldn't) work unless
you have a couple other pins jumpered.  Pins 4 and 5 should be shorted on 
each side (meaning pin 4 touches pin 5); also pins 6,8, and 20 should all
be shorted on each side (6-8-20).  This should be enough, along with the
pins listed above.

Well the Ad is some kind of misleading, it better should have been
"Domino provides Flickerfixer-functionality to OS-clean programmed
software in up to 72Hz" but as you admit this was too long for a headline...

Of course this is DOMINO-TV-PAINT, as it is customized for the Domino...

The Amiga video-output goes into Domino at the backplate and from Domino to
the monitor. Domino has some kind of electronic-switchbox on-board which
software-controlled selects either the Domino-output or pass-through the
native Amiga-video unmodified (15kHz will remain 15kHz).

Ciao, Klaus.

It has a standard Amiga 23-pin video port.  It may come with a multisync adaptor
as well.

>(By this I mean : What are the graphics modes' sync frequency? 15.75(YUCK)? 
>31.5 kHz?)? 

The A4000 can generate 15.7kHz, 24kHz, and 31kHz hsyncs.  Ideally, you should 
have a monitor that supports all of them.  If you're not using software that
bypasses the OS, you should be able to get by for the most part with a monitor
that doesn't, but the full multisync is much better.

I don't think that would be very practical.  How long would it take before some
*sshole figured out how to write a virus to your EEPROM?  I think it would
cause more headaches than it would cure.  Just my own opinion.

That's old news...

He he he... Seems like you've got the wrong kind of 74F74. There are two
kinds, which type you get is 'bout 50%, they (usually) produce identical
results, except when used this way in the Amiga, so there's no way of telling
which kind of chip you'll get by looking at it. If you are curious about the
exact reason of this behaviour, ask somebody else, I'm just relating other
people's experiences. Overall, this is a baaad hack, even IF it works,
speedups are only marginally, your drives steps too fast (can mean seek errors
and corrupted disks, if your drives can't cope, CBM standard drives usually
DON'T cope...!), internal clock runs twice as fast etc. NOT GOOD!

 IG> Any suggestions for things to try?

If you HAVE to test this; get a few 74F74s and test until it works. But it's
not worth it. If you feel for it, you can always call up a BBS carrying the
SAN FidoNET file echo and snoop around for an old hardware hack, this is a
REAL accelerator, on it's own PCB. You'll just have to manufacture it first...
Sorry, but I can't remember the file name, but if you know how to make PCBs,
you won't have a hard time at all, there's LOTS of documentation and drawings.
It's only 68000-based, and only 14 MHz, but the 68000 only runs twice as fast
as normal while it's off the bus, not all the time, as it does with 'your'
hack.

Yes! I have an old one too, and my dealer told me I would have to buy

The latest cry for that purpose (and cheaper than EEPROMs) are FlashROMs.
With the falling prices of FlashROMs it might indeed be feasible and
cost effective.

For constructive advice I would like to know if you have a 1MB Agnus in there?
If so, is the command setpatch r in your startup-sequence? If not try that...

I agree. You just have to look at that cute little fan on the 50 Mhz '486s
and you know it was someones intention ;)

Commodores AS225 software (tcp/ip plus nfs) gives the Amiga the ability to
treat the Suns file system as its own. With rlogin and telnet you can use
the suns processor. With rsh the sun can use the Amigas processor. This all
works under AmigaDOS. No Unix required.

I am currently hacking it, actually, reverse engineering it with one of
my university professors.  I'm using the Motorola 68HC11--I tried all
the other "hacks" and that's what they were.--I couldn't get ANY to
function. If all goes well, I'll write a .device driver.
