Some time ago, I saw a posting from Stephen Orr of the Amiga Developers
Forum (ADF) in Toronto, about the continued availability of the Lucas/
Francis kits for the A1000.  I have tried several times to reach ADF at the
address Stephen included (adf@nsq.UUCP) to no avail.  Does anyone have a
correct Email address, or even a street address or telephone number for
either Stephen or the ADF?  I have been using the Lucas accellerator for
about 3 years now with no problems, and am dying for more memory - the 
Frances kit being the easy way out.  

Thanks 1e06 in advance for any help, leads, suggestions.

  Well, what kind of monitor are you using? If it's a multi-sync, I'd just 
recommend getting an AB/ABCD box with D-15 connectors.. it's what I did 
with my system (Amiga RGB, Amiga De-Interlaced, IBM SVGA)

Subject: SupraFax -- the saga continues...
Organization: University of Waterloo
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 1992 03:38:30 GMT

Greetings. Just got my suprafax (v.32bis) today and am having a few problems...

FIrst off, my setup is: A500 w/ 2.04 ROMs, GVP Series II (105Q + 4 megs RAM).

Ok, I'm having no problem with 2400 baud connections and all v.32 connections
seem to work as well. However, am having a devil of a time connecting to
v.32bis (supra no less ;-) ) systems. I'm using JRComm -- what should I set 
the baud rate in JR-Comm to? (right now I have it at 9600 'cause 19.2K 
didn't seem to go across too well for v.32bis connections) Next, I have the
serial port configured to 19.2K with RTS/CTS on. However, while the modem
flashes 14.4K, any transfers still hover around the 930 cps mark... (thus
I presume that while the modem is connected at 14.4K the transfer from the
modem to my Amiga occurs at 9600 baud... is this correct?)

Next, I find that I can't consistently connect to the Excelsior Support BBS at 
all :( ONce in a while I'll get a 9600 baud connection, but that's about as
exciting as it gets and *only* if I set &d1 (I find it kinda annoying that I
have to turn the modem off in that mode though .. though maintaining the
connection is definitely a bonus... is there a way to make the escape
sequence (+++) while in &d1? Never works for me).

Lastly, how big a prob is overheating? After about 4 or 5 hours of
operation, my modem is *quite* hot to the touch... this is for my BBS and
I'll be running it 24 hrs/day. Anyone having the same prob/concern? Is it
"normal" for it to get that hot?

Thanks for any help.

This is my first public posting.  Hopefully it will ONLY get to the
appropriate newsgroup (comp.sys.amiga.hardware).  I have a good old reliable
Roland PR-1012.  The first thing that annoyed me when I got it was that the
smallest printer font it has was only 17cpi, so I could not print two 80-
column listings side-by-side.  Eventually, I programmed a slow program to
dump an Amiga screen line to the printer with one of my own 4 pixel wide
fonts.  It works.  I promised myself never to buy any printer that did not
at least print a font 20cpi.  What built-in font widths do these fancy
bubble/deskjet printers have?  At 300 dpi, I could imagine that one could
print hundreds of characters across an 8 inch page -- especially if the
printer itself had such a font.  Of course, the other thing I would like
is COLOR, but it seems like I can have that too if I get something like
the HP DJ500C -- if I end up spending $800 for a printer, I want to be
happy with it for quite a few years.
 
Thanx for any feedback (or helpful criticism if my first posting like
this did something improperly).

Riddle me this, Batman:

Has anyone any experience with the Slingshot and the A1000?  I know it was
designed for the A500, but if it works with one, conventional wisdom sez, it
will work with the other.

Provided that's true, has anyone tried the 2090A on the Slinghshot?

I have a friend who's running a really fun BBS on a THREE FLOPPY A1000,
and I have a 2090A rotting away in my closet.  'twould be nice to provide
a hard drive at least as a loaner to help out this system.

Thx in advance...

OK, I want to "upgrade" from a slow XT BB to a ... less slow AT BB.

Will the Commodore 1010 external 3.5" disk drive work OK by just
plugging it right into the AT BB, like it does on the XT BB?  Seems
like I've heard somewhere that there might be a problem with density
incompatibilities here, since the 1010 is not a HD drive.

I know that AT is capable of writing and reading HD floppies, but can
you simply define a standard density drive for it?  (in particular,
the one that plugs into the back!!)

Thanks in advance,

To keep costs down.  REmember everybody does not need this power.  It would

It uses the processor slot, so when a new processor comes out 68060, RISC.
It's just plug and go.  From this machine you can see it's a modular design,
AA and 4x chip bandwidth was the main drive for the base system.

I have an NTSC Amiga 500, and I had heard rumors that it is possible to cut
a trace from the Agnus and by doing so, will make my machine PAL.  I have 
seen it done and it works.  The only problem is that I have seen it done on the
newer Amiga 500.  It has a different mother board.  I have an original mother
board and was wondering what pin number am I supposed to cut the trace.  The 
guy that I know who has done it, just cut the jumper near that pin number. 
The old mother boards did not have the jumper.  If anyone could help me I would 
appreciate it alot.  Thanks.

   no doubt.

   based soley upon the press releases, the A4000 sounds like a bomb waiting
   to go off. perhaps i'm letting marc barrett get to me, perhaps not. i bet
   many others are feeling the same way, and i for one _will not_ plop down
   nearly $4000 on a machine that seems to be destined to become the next A1000.

   i'm patiently awaiting something along the lines of an "A4500". with SCSI,
   repaired mother board, and the promised improved sound.

   hopefully designed by dave haynie.

And a decent CPU. Even a 68020 would be wonderful (and appropriate) for a
low end machine. Geez, a 68332 is a hell of a lot faster than a 68k and
doesn't cost much.

Anyway, I agree with the dismal asessments of the A4000 based on the specs.
The last thing the Amiga market needed at this point was a new high-end
machine that is a kludge job. Way to go C=. But then, I have come to
expect this sort of thing from C=.

But look at the bright side: they oughta start dropping prices on the A3000
now!

The fact is that not all Action Replay 3's are the same. The oldest

the newer one does. I bought my AR3 from a guy who upgraded to 2.04
and couldn't get his cartridge to work, but apparently Datel became
aware of the problem and fixed it with later releases. My suggestion
is either to try and exchange it or sell it and buy a new one.

For you AR3'ers out there have you tried these commands:
atari
msdos

I also know the code so that you can dissassemble and examine the
ROM/RAM of your cartridge. Contact me, hackers....

I have been asked several times already about how the new 8 bitplane HAM mode
works, so here is the rundown:

With 8 bitplane HAM, the upper 2 bitplanes are the control bits, and work
exactly the same way the normal 6 bitplane HAM does.

This leaves 6 bitplanes, to give 64 base registers to choose from, compared to
the 16 base registers in HAM6.

When modifying the R,G or B component, the 6 bitplanes replace the upper 6 bits
of the R, G or B value; the lower 2 bits are unchanged. To compare against the
HAM6, the lower 4 bitplanes would modify all 4 bits of the RG or B component.

In theory, you could set up the 64 base registers to hold all the possible
combination of the lower 2 bits of RG and B, and therefore be able to set any
pixel on the screen to any of 2^24 colours.
