In all fairness to our neighbors up north, the AMAX II+ software update
for the cartridge works on our A1200's.

Then there's something very seriously wrong with your Mac II setup.  A Mac 
IIx should only be 10-20% faster than a Mac II.   Again, I'll ask what is 
the hardware and software configuration you're running?  Also, if you're 
using Speedometer as a benchmark, what version are you using and what 
numerical results are you seeing?  (Oh yes... 'Mac' is an abreviation for 
'Macintosh' and is not an acronym.)

Scsi drivers do exist and work. My system is not fully operational yet,
but I have named a device in Emplant's devices list and it does try and
seek that device for a bootable files. It is unformatted yet.A

On another note:

I talked to Joe Fenton yesterday on the phone and corrected my assumption
about needing a SCSi port on Emplant to access MAC drives (ie Syquest).What
happens is; when you have a MAc scsi disk, like a Syquest, on the Amiga, it
will boot up with that DH0:??? type icon, meaning it cannot find DOS on the
device, as we all probably know. But, when you run Emplant it will see that
disk and it will be usable. If there is a System Folder on the disk, it will
even boot from that disk. Yeah!!! I am surprised that Jim did not bust me
on my error:-) In my defense, I was only theorizing. Sorry for any mis-
information. Later.

I have an Amiga 500 running AMAX II with a PostScript laser printer

from the AMAX side directly from applications? Right now I have to save
the PostScript file to disk, transfer it to an Amiga floppy, then

I tried Emplant 1.51 (got it form wuarchive systems/amiga/
incoming/hardware) today on one A4000 and one A3000.

It doesn't run.

On the A4000 it crashes directly after "rsrvmem37" (shouldn't there
be a rsrvmem39 available?).

On the A3000 rsrvmem37 runs fine, resets the computer, boots it up
again and after starting ImageMMU, SoftKickMMU, HardKickMMU or
Emplant the machine hangs.

Any ideas? I got the board directly from the german distributor.

As far a I know there are two emulators out there, both not being public
domain (they are called Camelion II and Medusa). With Camelion you can
run up to 8 ST`s at once. They both need kind of a dongle card in one of
your slot (the corporations claim its needed for adress conversion but
actually there are versions out (somewhere) that don`t need those cards!

I have installed CrossDOS on my Amiga2000/3MB/80MB and I want to save

Probably it's really a memory problem. TPP uses at default the big version
of virtex (bigtex). Look into the TPP configs and change bigtex to
the normal (small) TeX version.

Are there any PD or ShareWare Print Spooling programs available for

more-or-less allows for a "spooling" like capability on the Amiga,
but I would like to have a *real* spooler. 

Features I would like to see:

 o command to list all jobs in the spooler
 o capability to rearrange jobs
 o kill *specific* outstanding jobs
 o kill *all* jobs in the queue
 o suspend outstanding jobs 
 o switch to allow you to delete the file after it is printed
 o switch to print a banner for the first page of a print out
 o default config file for setting switches, etc.
 
It would be nice to have "links" to the files being printed, created
in a spool directory (so that big files don't have to be "copied" to
the spool directory (configurable, of course)... Does a beast like this
already exist?  I prefer not to re-invent the wheel, if one already
exists.  Thanks in advance. 

If you e-mail replies, I will post all findings after I collect enough

I'd make sure you have the non-beta release, and double check the

HELP!
 
I am trying to print a simple banner with PageStream2 (HL)
 
I can easily create a banner type page (for example 66 X 8.5)
Can just as easily type a long, decent looking message in, for
instance Garamond (spelling? I am away from my ami right now) in
a large font size (108+).  On screen it looks great.  Often the first
letter will print properly but invariably the text output is corrupted
usually with vertical lines and compressed characters.  I am sending
out to a Panasonic KXP-1124.  Page size  has been set in the configure
printer to match the size set for the banner (ie I am using tractor
sheets).  Is there any reason why what I am trying to do here would
misbehave?  How can I perform this task?  Kevin, are  you listening?
BTW, my new copy of HL/PL/BME is greatly appreciated!  I want to thank
you guys for a much need, long awaited app!  Good job!
