	I don't think Commodore has bombed.  I think that the
progress is well worth it.  I saw the 4000 at a Computer show here
in Miami this Saturday last.  One heck of a Machine.  Talk about
fast, it blows circles of dust around my 500 which runs at 40MHz
using a 030.  Wish I could afford one of those babies.  I also got
a look at the new A600.  It is a very nice looking machine, but it
is not for me.  I think it is a good machine for those wishing to
get started on the Amiga.  I can't wait to get a look at the 1200
though.  It sounds a lot more promising expansion wise.  Remember
all those people who said they didn't like the A500 because it was
a close system?  Meaning that the 500 was Unexpandable.  gee, for
an Unexpandable machine, I have 6Megs of ram, an Internal 52Meg IDE
with Controller. 4 Meg Internal Ram Card. An A530 Hooked onto the side
with a 030 and 4 more Megs of Ram.

	I beleive the 1200 Shows similar posibilities.  Commodore
always had their act together when it comes to Computers, it is
just their marketing which has never been so good.  Rumors have it
though that they are changing that too.

Hello, fellow Amigans.

I just picked up an A3000 (and yes, I'm impressed), and have a few easy
questions about the CPUs bus arcitecture:
- Is there a cache in there somewhere?
- Is the fast RAM running with wait states?
- What's that about 2- and 3-cycle instructions?

10Q!

There appears that there might be a fix for A2091 DMA problems in the
A4000. I don't have an A4000 so I can't verify it.

I got this from AMI-HARD and am reposting it for those who subscribe to
I-Amiga but not AMI-HARD.

Subject:      A4000 HD floppy I*M formatting problem

I have had a similar problem when trying to format DD floppies that were
previously formatted on different systems. I believe that enough garbage
can be left in the track sidebands to cause problems while formatting. My
solution which has ALWAYS worked is to use a magnetic bulk tape eraser,
I bought one from Tandy/Radio Shack for about $20.00. I don't have any
problems formatting any DD floppies after I bulk erase them. You may be
able to use a very strong magnet, but keep it away from your other floppies
that you don't want to lose data on.

P.S. The problem could also be in different saturation levels in the
magnetic media due to differences in read/write heads and write current
levels on the different drives. IE: one drive may be writing a stronger
signal on the disk that the second drive can't entirely erase, this would
cause verify errors during the formatting.

Good Luck.

You do have to know someone's mailbox name to send them mail just as you
have to know someone's Compuserve ID.  If you are not a subscriber you
will not get mail.  It's easy enough to test, just try to send mail to
yourself (@genie.com I think?).  Not sure if mine would be
D.ROMAN1@genie.com or not, doesn't cost me anything to try it though!

Anyway, the think I'm worried about is what if I get a bunch of junk
mail that's huge and I don't want to read it, if I just delete it will I
still be charged the .30 per 5K?  I waiting for a ruling on this type of
issue before I sign up.  For $2 I figured I'd sign up, I have free
access at work but it would be handy occasionally and my messages would
be small (< 5K).  It's the receiving .30 per 5K that I'm worried about.

If anyone has a ruling could they inform us?

Subject:      Reformatting under 2.0

For the folks considering reformatting their drives for 2.0, better think
twice and a couple of times over.

I'm still hoping to hear of someone who'll throw in their two cents about what
happened after I did this procedure.

I can testify, having only less than two days ago reformatting that the speed
improvement (as far as I can *see* is not very obvious) and then there is
always the question of whether WB2.04 will like the disk it just formatted.

Strange as it sounds, I'm now getting gurus right and left with 2.0 programs
that used to work fine just a few days ago. And I can rule out hardware
malfunction as my system is pretty new.

I have a gut feeling that it has something to do with the way the controller
writes its rigid disk block that is causing the problems but how can I tell??

This is called a regular expression.  The "[]" encloses a set of
characters that can match a single character in the search string.
Lots of applications on all platforms (including Amiga) use regular
expressions, but there seems to be no standard syntax.  I believe
archie uses the same regular expression syntax as "ed" (the Unix line
editor).

Check out the Unix man pages for "ed" if you can, and look at the
sections on regular expressions (no need to learn ed).  That's where
I learned how to use regular expressions.  They're cryptic, but worth
learning since they're very powerful.

If you can, get ahold of the Enigma-Azatoth '91 demo.  It is sweedish

so if you can find it, it has convinced 3 I*M users to purchase Amgias....
I don't know if it is on the nets or not.
A little info on it:  it is 10 minutes long, has a really neat star-field
TV-box demo, a blitter busting sphere rotation scene, a virtual-reality type
trip to "mars", a ray-traced fractal(!) animation and a 'star-wars scroller'
that  looks like it uses bit-mapping techniques that are just amazing.  All
in 34K.  It is a bootblock demo that calls a whole 33K data file. I was
impressed...especially since most of the demos would take at least 10MB on an
I*M for animation storage and coding.  IT is truly impressive.  Get it if you
can find it, mine was sent via snail mail from a friend in Nordhorn, Germany,
so I really don't know where he got it.

This seems like the ultimate virus hunter IMHO. However, I've only gotten

with v4.5 which isn't as nice or as full featured, and that runs for me just
fine. The only requirement that I can glean from the manual accompanying the
distribution is that you need 2.0 (which I have). Can anyone out there help

Unless I misunderstood the question, the ".Z" extension is for files
that have been compressed with the Unix "compress" command.  There are
versions of this command that work on the Amiga.  I believe it
usually comes with the UUCP packages for Amiga.

I found this at wuarchive, which should be what you are looking for:

utilities/cli/archive:
-rw-rw-r--  1 root        32368 Nov 22  1990 compress-4.0.lzh

Don't use the version in /usenet/comp.binaries.amiga/starter, it
sucks.

    Yes, indeed. You will need the ARJ unpacker (one of the best in
my opinion). However, I'm not sure as to whether it's available in
Amiga format, since I've only seen MS-DOG versions of it. I'm off to

Well, in theory you are correct, except that the monitor inside of it is
at a resolution of 4000 lines...just a tad sharper than the average monitor...

I have seen one in action and have samples of my own artwork done on one
and it is pretty good.

You can get fair quality from taking screen shots on your own, as long as
you have a nice big flat screen, shoot in a dark room, and use a longer
exposure and mount the camera on a tripod...also use a 64asa kodak or
fuji slide film...

The price for the A570 in Tenex was over $500.  It's possible that Commodore
changed it's mind or the initial supply is really small.  :>  Keep me posted.

Hello everyone,

I have what is known as an "early release" Amiga 3000UX.
Upon receiving my Amiga UNIX 2.1 upgrade and 2.04 ROM
upgrade my dealer discovered that I need something called
a ROM Tower to allow the 2.04 ROMS to work properly...

Has anyone else had this problem?  I have been waiting
for more than a month for C= to send the ROM Tower to
my dealer and am getting rather, well, pissed off, is
the only approprate term that comes to mind.  I would
like to know if there is any other way to get a "ROM Tower"
(It sits in the ROM socket on the mother board and the
ROM sit in the Tower).
