	Ken seems to have lost a line here - he probably meant to say that
I wrote some special _software_ to make IDE look like SCSI.

	The main point that Marc missed here is that I did all that work
(to make a scsi.device that actually is an IDE driver) for the A600.  I did
almost no work for the A4000 version of IDE.  The only differences was a
different interrupt routine (~30 lines), and some minor tweaks to the "is there
a drive out there" code.  Say one day's work total.

	Totally wrong.  Also, the board space in the A4000 is limited, so
retaining SCSI on the motherboard would have added layout and debugging time.
Not that it couldn't be done, just things would have been tougher to lay out.

	I'm sure Marc would find more to bitch about than just the monitor...

You need the reader program itself, called AmigaGuide (who would've 
guessed?).  Unfortunately, I'm not sure if the AmigaGuide package is freely 
distributable.  CBM was supposed to incorporate it into a future WB 
release, but some commercial programs (such as Oxxi's Presentation Master) 
come with it...which is where I got it.

I suspect the situation is similar to when the A3000 first came out; the
OS is quite finished (though certainly usable), but the hardware is ready
to go. This is also perhaps the reason why the hypothetical '020 machine
wasn't announced at WOC (lacking an MMU, it would need to have Kickstart
in ROM).

Kickstart 3.0 is almost certain to work in non-AGA Amiga's once it's
completed. (Let's not forget the various postings over the last few
months that said they were running pirate beta copies of KS 3.0; they
can't _all_ have been bluffing, and they certainly didn't all have
AGA machines :-)

  Sounds probable.  However, I as well as other "power users" would
  appreciate a ZORRO III solution rather than the CPU slot "hack".
  This would be much harder to design and would require the MMU to
  remap the addressess of the AGA, but still feasable.

  Some of us have their CPU slot filled with a CPU, you know.... :)

Oh, nothing much. Smoke, fire, blown fuses, corrupted data. Little stuff
like that.

Assuming the question was really serious, the damage is usually done by
shorting power (+5V, +-12V) pins to ground and/or signal pins. This lets
the smoke out of the chips, and since all modern electronics run on
smoke, they stop running when the smoke is let out.

Faroul, you are talking about CRUNCHING not decrunching ! For decrunching,
PP uses a fixed amount of memory, depending only on the size of the crunched
program.

To ask properly to Don, the answer is yes, PowerPacker decrunches the whole
program in memory (as for crunching). About this, Imploder is better because
it allocates much less memory when decrunching. Try Imploder4.0, available
on many ftp sites.

If you are talking about crunching data, it may be different, and Imploder
crunches only programs. If you want more informations on PowerPacker, you
can get powerpacker.library package on ftp too, with include files and how
to use the library.

">">  b) decrunch the file sequentially, not killing my precious 1M. :)
">"It will only use the mem that is not allocated by any other program.

That's not true, Faroul, when you choose little/normal/large, PP will
allocate a fixed amount of memory for the speedup buffer (up to 256 K for
the large option).
Just look at the powerpacker.library for precisions.

Why then is it "impossible" to make a daughter card containing the AA chipset
for use in the A3000?  Or is it just that it would be too much of a kludge
for Commodore to touch.

I would think judging from the responses here that a 3rd party company 
could make a lot of money with such a kludge.

Pardon my ignorance in asking since I have no imformation on the AA chip set
and can't guess at the feasibility.

I have a few questions:
Is it a 32 bit data bus?

I assume the chip command/register bus (terminology?) is now 16 bit from 8 or
is it a completely new approach used?

Is the data bus 14 MHz zero wait state ie 60 - 70 ns DRAMS?  I've heard
something about it being a 28 MHz bus, does it use a burst mode?

Why can't it handle any line frequencies above 31kHz?  1280x400x8 bit
sounds like the pixel rate could get high enough to support 800x600
noninterlaced or is the 1280x400 interlaced with a deinterlacer at the
output stage?  Is the 640x400 interlaced with a deinterlacer?

Thanks a lot.

  Whenever I boot up I get a checksum error and thus WB will not
validate my drive so I can't write to it at all. The disk also
thinks it's full when I should have about 13 Megs free. What can
I use to fix this? I didn't do anything weird to do the disk. It happened
after I crashed while using POV-Ray.
