Way to go Anthony! I would like to encourage as many people as possible to
call up Insite (408/946-8080) and bother them about supporting the Amiga
floppy format in their firmware for the FLOPTICAL. I've been bothering them
for months about it, and getting nowhere (as far as I can tell). I think if
more people bugged them, they might just go ahead and do it.

about this ROM business...

I've had the FLOPTICAL in my A3000 for over a year now. At first, I did what
Anthony did, wrote a unix program to "unlock" the FLOPTICAL (I run mostly under
unix, and do some ADOS). About a month after I bought the drive, Insite sent
me a copy of the firmware that didn't have the lock stuff in it. I've been
running with that ever since, and have seen no "incompatibility" problems.

Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in...

Subject: Fast Lane vs MegaChip 2000 vs Elias 3000 : some info please
Date: 6 Oct 92 13:29:12 GMT
Organization: Delft University of Technology

I would like to get some info from people who use one of the following boards:
- Black Knight's The Fast Lane
- DKB's MegAChip 2000
- Microworks' Elias 3000

The MegAChip uses a 8372b Agnus vs the Elias 3000 which uses a 8375 Agnus.
1. What (if any) are the functional differences between the two chips?
2. How hard is it to install these boards?
3. Any known incompatibility problems?

The Fast Lane uses both 8372a and 8372b chips. They claim it is an chip ram
accelerator.
1. Anybody know what speed increases you can get with a plain A2000 and with
an A2000 with an accelerator board plugged in?
2. See above.
3. See above.

I am thinking very hard about the above 3 boards. It doesn't seem likely that
there will be any AA chip upgrades for the A2000, so I'll have to settle for
an ECS upgrade.

Any opinions about the above three boards are welcome. Together with the 
8373 Super Denise they give a relatively cheap increase in graphics
capabilities (aside from flicker fixers of course).

Thanks,
    Frits

Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1992 00:43:34 GMT

Hello all,

I purchased (a long time ago) a SCSI controller for my Amiga 2000 by a company
called Pacific Peripherals.  I belive it was called the Pacific Peripherals
Overdrive.  

In any case, all my attempts to contact this company have failed.  I suspect
they are out of business.  

I'm looking for two main things.  At the time I purchased the controller many
of them did not have autoboot PROMS (ROMS, EPROMS, whoever).  Mine did not.
I was wondering if it they ever did make any and if I might get a copy of
them.  (Not asking much huh!?)  Also, my version of the setup program does 
not work.  I would also like to get a copy of that.

I am currently using WB 2.0x.  I actually have the drive working - I just 
copied the approprate parts for the mount list, etc when I transfered
to the new workbench.

Any thoughts would be helpful as I would very much like to get away from
my boot disk blues, as well as I would like to be able to format my drive!

Also, any misc. info about this card would be appreciated as well... I'll
take anything I can get!

Thanks!

john

I got this from the old ab20.larc.nasa.gov site:

--> Forwarded Article

The two PAL's that are lifted from the mainboard (U6K and U6N) obtain
power and ground thru the headers that connect them to the mainboard,
while the other two are part of the daughter board power and ground
system.  To the innocent, this may not make much sense, but there are a
number of reasons for wanting to control the number of points where you
want grounding systems interconnected.  When used with devices that
follow the precepts mentioned in the expansion documentation and good
engineering practice it seems to work pretty well, while others,
especially those combined in nonbuffered stacks or daisy chains seem to
have problems.

If you want to try the reputed "fix", which may well help in some
cases, simply solder a very short wire between pin 10 of U6J and U6K
and one between pin 10 of U6L and U6N.  Oh yeah, voids the warranty,
but that's most likely academic at this point.

Note: do not mail to George (at least not using the above address).
His posting quoted above was dated 8 Nov 87! :-)

I have also seen directions to wire the ground pins of U6K and U6N
together and connect them to a solid ground on the motherboard.  Also,
you could try adding "quiet sockets" (sockets w/ a built in decoupling
capacitor) or adding a 0.1uF capacitor directly across power and ground
of each of U6K and U6N. I would suggest one or both of these, since
they preserve the original grounding design.

It has also been said that cloning the PALs into faster devices can
also improve the AC performance. Apparently, this is especially
important for certain production runs where the installed devices where
marginal from the vendor.

Hope this helps.

I think it's actually a problem with caching on the 040, and they are working
on 68040.library to fix it.  It happens with dma accesses.

As for GVP cards, I'm currently under the impression that they only dma into
on on board buffer, then use the cpu to move it anyway.  Not sure though,
but that seems to be what the hackers said about their driver when they tried
to fix it for something or other....

Sounds like you have a 68882 in a PGA package, while they're using a PLCC 
package on the VXL30.  C= has used both -- the PGA on the A26x0, the PLCC
on the A3000.  The similar PLCC version would be "MC68882FN25A".

Just two words.
In the AS225 TCP/IP Software - Package no NFS-Server for the Amiga is included,
this is a bit weird when you want to connect Amiga's together, with no 
Unix-Machine around. 
The other tools (ftp, telnet) open their own screen, likely very weird.
I _HOPE_ this will be changed in the future version of the AS225, which should
be out RSN.

>Q: anyone know why can't I boot up in 14Mhz mode in WB2.xx??

Generally booting in 14 MHz mode is very bad because of the way the Amiga
handles that special memory at $c00000.  It tests for memory there by
writing and reading back from various locations to see how much memory was
there.  Anyway, when the AdSpeed is in 14MHz mode the CACHE is enabled,
which makes the 68000 think that there is memory all over the place.  So
even if you get your system to boot (like under 1.3?) you will eventually
have a crash.  I remember seeing SysInfo telling me that I had about 1 3/4
Meg of Fast RAM at $c00000, even though I only had a meg there at the time.
It took me a while to figure out where the extra memory came from.  Now I
just have "Adspeed ON" in my startup sequence, though I ran a hardware
switch out to the front of my A1000's case (under the front panel that
covers the 256K RAM expander) for those pesky bootable disks.

>The only thing im not satisfied with is the AdSpeed program... I got a replacement

AddSpeed, huh?  Is it more useful than the regular AdSpeed program?  I am
getting tired of getting "No Adspeed" every fifth time I run the program and
also of watching the display say "7 MHz", "14 MHz",  "7 MHz", "14 MHz", 
  "7 MHz", "14 MHz",  "7 MHz", "14 MHz",  etc...  while I am doing nothing.
What does this AddSpeed program do differently?

I don't know anything about 020 or 030 versions of the A4000.  However, the
A4000's memory is on the motherboard, it has nothing to do with the CPU
module.  Clocking can be generated either by the motherboard or the CPU
card, just like with the A3000.

 This question is mainly to the C= developers. I just got my A4000 and I am

so?? I had a 736x554 workbench on my A500+ thanks to a flickerfixer but now
I am back to interlace :(I do not want an answer like: 'user the Double Pal
screenmode' because I am using it. Works great exept that most programs
with open an own screen are using interlace. This is particular annoying
when using PageStream (that's why I had a displayenhancer in the first
place) Other than that I don't realy know how healthy it is for my monitor
(Mitsubishi EUM-1471A) to swich between two frequences all the time. Since
I payed about $3000 (DM 4400) I think I got a right to know (hopefully C=
doesn't think otherwise)
 BTW could it be possible to integrate the displayenhancer on the upcomming
Zorro-III SCSI controller IF a displayenhancer can be made using Zorro-III.

with two modems. I have also traced the CD signal. It passes through one EMI
(filter?) and one capacity to ground. It also travells through a 1489 circuit.

What is probably the cause for my problem ? I suppose the 1489 circuit. Could
you confirm it or tell me what's wrong ?

Thanks in advance

In the normal course of messing around with my machine I managed to 
insert the buster chip backwards (don't bother, I know).  When I 
powered up the machine buster died. (moment of silence)  On replaceing
the buster I find that everything is fine until I insert an accelerator
in the processer slot.  I've tried GVP's 32mhz 030 and 33mhz 040's.
The 030 lives there so I know that it should work.  Any clues about what
the colataral damage from busters unfortunate demise (don't bother, I know)
may be?  Also my power LED died it about the same time.  There is +5 on the
LED connector and the +5 and +12 on the PS are fine.  Coincidence or 
conspericy?  Any help is gratfully welcome.  Any flames you can send me
for causing this can't even come close to what I've already said to myself so
please, don't bother.   -R-
