It uses a separate VGA card on the PC bus, driven by the oMniBus bridge.  The
A3000, VGA, and monitor plug into the oMniBus, which controls switching between
the two outputs.

It's much better than I would have expected.  I find it just fine for 
programming and DTP.  I suppose anything running over the Zorro II or ISA
bus (or, in this case, both) is going to slow down when you get too much
data to throw around, but I haven't run into that yet.  I don't really have
a need for more color, just more resolution (I'm typing this at work on a 
1024x800 Moniterm display that's cluttered with windows).

    I am currently in an advisory position with a business that is looking
into purchasing a Video Toaster for use as a four-input switcher for live
video archiving, and also for 3D titling and animation capabilities.  I
have researched and read much about the Toaster, but I am looking for feedback
from people who have used it for everyday work, intensive usage, and so on.
I would like to know how reliable it is; if any major failures have occurred;
how support from the company has been; if software upgrades have been timely
and error-free; how complicated setup and installation is; how easy it is to
record animations.  Also, I would like to know of any other expansions that 
would make use of the Toaster easier, and why.  Money is relatively no object,
so give me your advice for the perfect system.  Thank you very much.

 Subject:    1084 MONITOR V-HOLD ???

Hi fellow Amigos ,


My 1084 monitor is scrolling horizontal lines vertically off the screen when 
I use the composite input.  Like a bad TV picture.
I use the composite input sometimes hooked up to my vcr to watch movies,
when I'm not using my Amiga for a computer.
There does not seem to be a V-HOLD knob on the monitor and I have tried all the
knobs on the outside of the monitor.

How can I adjust the V-HOLD, as my monitor is now useless for composite input.
I have opened the monitor and looked inside for things to adjust, but I am not
an expert in hardware and don't really know where to look.

A few questions for you hardware experts :

How Do I adjust the V-HOLD ? Is it easy enough for me to do myself ?
Could someone email me instructions on how to do this.

If I cannot adjust the V-HOLD myself, can my monitor be repaired ?
Where should I take it for repairs ? Joe's TV repair shop or Commodore.
 How much do you think it will cost ?


Thanks in advance for any help,

Frank Wong

The IBM emulation module will come with a "bridge board" type card that
plugs into a Zorro/IBM slot, giving you the ability to access the PC
slots as well as have additional hardware for video/audio (ala
SoundBlaster) boards.  The price for the emulation module and this extra
hardware will be less $100.

Jim,
While it's nice to hear possible hardware solutions to improve the Mac
display, I wondered about another inexpensive possibility.  The Golden
Gate II bridgecard, (which lets you access the PC slots from Amiga
software), along with a cheap VGA card might be a real easy way to get
emulation video.  You can get both those cards for $150 or so.  Is it
possible to write an EMPLANT driver that could support such a setup?

In order to obtain a SyQuest cartridge that can be both read/written to
on both platforms (Amax & MAC),  you would first need to format the
SyQuest cartridge on a REAL Mac using DiskManagerMac.  DiskManagerMac
may be purchased separately and is compatible with the driver in AMAX
Next copy the DiskManagerMac INIT from the disk to your system folder,
when AMAX boots up, the SyQuest will be automatically mounted.  The
drawback is that, the cartridge cannot boot.  You would partition a
small boot off your main harddrive, and use the SyQuest as a transporting
medium.

I have a friend who requires a hardware emulator for his ks1.3 amiga
2000.  The catch here is that he is not an extensively knowledgable user
of the Amiga(game player mostly) but requires that he learn the standard
business programs.  I figure at least a 286 will be needed to make the
venture worthwile.  What is out there that involves a minimum of hassle
without the fiddling with Startup-sequences and the like.  Does the
vortex work well?  Does commodore's 2286 qualify as being simple and
straightforward?  Insights and helpful comments will be most welcome

That's nice, but why in the world would I want to stick a card in a SIMM
socket kludge, when I have a real ZorroII slot which also has access to
the ISA bus??? The Amiga isn't an Atari ST where every expansion has to be
some kind of trick.

I have never seen an AppleIIGS disk, however, you might try using

   Didn't the Amiga used to be called "the computer for the creative mind?"
Someone thinks of innovative new ideas, and you laugh in their face.  

   No, I would not be using Emplant "JUST" to use the Mac side as a postscript
interpreter.  Many new ideas are possible, taking advantage of the vast amount
of software available for the Macintosh and the unique capabilities of the
Amiga.  This is just one example.  

   Other possibilities are also possible; with the way Emplant allows Mac and
Amiga software to run at the same time, one is only limited by their own 
creative limits.  For instance, the Mac has someing similar to ARexx called
AppleScript.  This allows certain apps to control other apps similar to the
way ARexx does things.  The Mac also has hot-linking facilities built-in as
well.  One can imagine a unique set of tools to allow Mac processes and Amiga
processes to communicate.  Imagine an ARexx port for the whole Emplant 
emulator, to send commands to AppleScript from ARexx, for example.  Or a way
to tie the Mac hot-linking facilities to the Amiga hot-linking system created
by SoftLogic.  

   I am sure that others could think of even better ideas.  Just be creative!

There is an Amiga emulator for UNIX somewhere that only emulates

There is one company (I forgot the name) is in the process of making
an Amiga emulator (hardware & software).  I heard it works quite nice,
but it requires at least a 486 to emulate an A500.

Is there any recent word on projected updates to the Emplant software
(beyond v1.4)? I see postings from J. Drew promising A1200 support and
386/486 emulation but my Mac II emulation is STILL non-functional. Out of
the 20 or so true Macs that I have access to, none of them have the
particular ROM that Emplant can live with, apparently, and even if they
did, there is no harddrive support. Claiming Mac II emulation without
harddrive support is stretching it some.

Anyway, I'd just like some kind of progress report on things -- are we any
closer to functional yet?

I am looking for some information regarding the effectiveness of Emplant,
particularly with regard to Mac emulation and reading Mac disks (ie
including the Sybil extension). Now before you all flame me ("Read the
group you fool!"), I lost newsgroup access just when things started getting 
interesting (there were a lot of posts "my Emplant doesn't work"), and havce
only just found somewhere to regain newsgroup feeds. So, if (as I suspect)
this has been dealt with to saturation point, feel free to either E-Mail
(it might work, try cox_m@kosmos.wcc.govt.nz) or ignore.

Anyway, I'll be reading from now on for relevant items regarding Emplant, so
hopefully I won't get behind again. :-)

Which MAC ROMs does the EMPLANT board use?
