I don't blame Commodore at all on this one.  Many of the 1200 systems being
sold wil be used by people who will *never* program in ARexx.  Including the
manual will simply drive the price up for everybody.  It's a smart move to get
people to pay for what they want and use.

For the same reason you don't have all the options installed when you buy a
car, you won't get all the options in the computer package.  Developer
documentation is considered an option, as it should be.

I remember being frustrated when I first received my A1000 and didn't have any
AmigaDOS documentation but then there were none to buy at first.  Hopefully
Commodore is packaging the documentation and that the dealers have those in
stock with the A1200 systems.

Hi,

I am working on a friends 2.04/2.1 Amiga 2000 with a 2091 controller
and 3M ram.  Connected to the controller are two drives, a 40M Quantum
and a new Fujitsu 500M.  The Quantum is at device 6 and is the
bootable drive, the Fujitsu is at device 1.

Both drives seem to work fine individually, but I can seems to get
them to work nice together.  The problem is most apparent when copying
files greater than 200K from the quantum to the fujitsu.  The SCSI bus
will apparently lock up.  All disk activity stops and the drive light
stays on.

I have tried lowering the maxtransfer for each drive as low as 0xffff
on both drives and turned off reselection but it does not seem to
help.  (side note, when I read the parameters from the drive with
HDToolbox, it does not seem to read the state of the reselection bit
from either drive, so I can't really be sure that I am setting it).
Right now I have a copy 49M partitions defined on the 500M for
testing.

Has anyone else had problems like this?  I would appreciate hearing
how they were solved.

Okay - So we got a struggling syndicate trying to get some of the 'Gee - wee

series.

 Somebody said that they werent gonna watch it because the commercial/teaser
sucked.  Others jumped down his throat saying to at least watch the show.
Well I decided to watch it and see for myself.

 I wish I didnt.  It was compleate trash.  But I must admit my girlfriend and
I just couldent stop laughing all the way through it.

 CBS - you made a great commedy - too bad when you think about it, it really
isent that funny. Just Lame.

 Why didnt I like it? - too long a list - so I will say what I did like
Instead.  The alien going through the wall was the only good effect and
scene.  The poor thing about this statement as I saw a tremendous amount of
possibility if they just would stop making it soo corny - and think about
what they were trying to do.

 Final grade:  Refuse to grade - Take it back and redo it.

           Yes, you are right, when they have it!  I was just pointing
          out that Star Trek if fairly nonviolent, and most people
          want more action out of it not less.  If anyone complains

What do you mean, stop hardware coding! People get confused between hardware
coding and jumping into the ROM. With the former it is _possible_ to write
software that is highly compatible, while the latter is plain suicidal. A lot
of coders in the old days used to rely on ROM routines being in the same places
on other peoples computers, causing software to crash all over the place.

I'm the hardware coding type myself, and I find it is possible to write
software that uses hardware only, yet is fully compatible with 1.3 and 2.0
(both Normal and ECS) AND 3.0 ie the 1200 (with NOTHING disabled) and, I
presume, the 4000. I bought the old Commodore hardware manual back in my 1.3
days, and it sets out guidelines for programming the hardware, which, it says,
will ensure compatibility with future chipsets. Admittedly, it restricts you
to using Normal chipset modes only for full compatibility, but that's something
which I can live with.

To stop hardware coding completely would put an end to most demos and games.
Is that really what Amiga users want? (Workbench demos just aren't the same :)

On the other hand, if someone releases a utility or application that is meant
to be used in a Workbench environment and then proceeds to use hardware coding,
that is just ridiculous.

Summary : Hardware coding works if you follow the rules.



        Fergus o'Hea      (F_OHEA@eevax1.ucc.ie)



(BTW if my code refuses to work on the new hi-end and lo-end chipsets, I will
happily burn my hardware manual and take up OS programming! :-)

Subject:      Re: Changing Amax Colors with Zap

:I am curious about why you would want to change Amax screens since one
:sees so little of them.  If by chance you meant changing the colors once

:in the upper lefthand corner of the mac menu bar.  It's part of the mac

The purpose of the file which I hope someone who belongs to Genie sends me
is something that I have used in the past to change the colors of AMAX when
running under the mac.  System 6.X does not allow the colors to be changed.
By using the suggested colors of the author of this instruction file and
by followings the author's suggestions on how to use NewZAP to make the
changes, the flicker can be greatly reduced.  I have used it, yet may
get the software for AMAX II+, and I will once again be suffering with
the flicker.  I know that there is another program out there which clames
to do the same by basically doubling the lines of everything on the screen...
The instructions I speak of do a much better job at reducing flicker by
reducing the bitplanes and bringing the screen colors used closer together.
Thus by adjusting the contrast on the monitor, there really is no detectable
flicker.

I've sort of resigned myself to waiting until RTG is available in an
Amiga OS release and then buying a third-party 24 bit board to upgrade
my Amiga 3000.  If I can't get AGA cheap I might as well get a 24 bit
board instead once the OS supports it directly.  The price of 24 bit
boards is still a little high right now for me to upgrade without direct
OS support but by the time RTG is out I'd imagine the price to be more
reasonable.
