Have you ever tried triple-buffering? That should do
the trick. I used it in the star-routine I posted here
some weeks ago. Works fine. Then you don't even have to
wait for the clearing to finish before starting to draw:

LOOP:	wait_VBlank
	swap_screens(1,2,3)->(2,3,1)
	show_screen(1)
	clear_screen(3)
	draw_screen(2)	(while clear_screen is still running)
	bra LOOP

   My copy of QB Tools v1.5 mentions in the manual that it will mark bad
sectors as unreadable. The drive must be validated before the program will 
access the 'repair volume' menu. You can also, using the same menu, look
for bad files and directories. DJ.

DiskDoctor is a fix-in-place program, like CHKDSK.  It tries to fix what's
on your hard disk, but it's very primitive.  C= removed it from the 2.1
distribution, since it tends to be unreliable.

DiskSalv 1.42, the last public release of my shareware disk fixing program,
does what you describe -- it salvages anything it can from a disk to some
other Amiga volume.  It works on any kind of device-driven Amiga disk under
OFS or FFS, though it's impractical on very large hard disks.  A new version
that does fix-in-place will be out some time in January if all goes well.

>No, actually, I don't.

You really do if something is very wrong.  CHKDSK knows how to make a disk
partition usable, but it can't necessarily recover lost data very well.
In some cases, you're more concerned with validating your disk and that's all
you want.  In other cases, you're after something that was lost in the 
processor of your disk getting scrogged.

That's entirely dependent on the audio CODEC used by the DSP.  Most DSPs don't
have a built-in audio CODEC, but interface to one.  Some have flexible rate
generators, others require an external generator to be provided.

That may be true, depending on the implementation of the audio CODEC.

The only obvious way around such hardware limitations would be to scale the
sampling rate of your data to the sampling rate supported by your hardware.
A DSP can certainly do this.

>Is this why Commodore left it out?

Commodore will sell no DSP before its time.  All of the systems out at present
are severely flawed.  For example, I would expect any reasonable DSP system
to include frequency scaling as a basic function.  You can burn considerable
CPU time keeping a 56001 fed, depending on what it's doing.  A C= DSP system
would address these and other concerns.

        I am considering getting the newest version of the BridgeBoard
software disk (Janus) which I think is at v2.1.  I have seen it listed
in mail order houses as the "Janus 2.1 Upgrade Kit" for about $35 from
Software Hut.  My local C= dealer said he can get me the Janus floppy
for $5.  He doesn't personally know what this includesbut assumes it is
the "current" version.  Does anyone else have any specific knowledge as
to what I need to upgrade my current Janus v2.0 to v2.1?  Are there any
chips/hardware items?

        I have the A2286 on an A2000 running AmigaDOS v2.05.  Is the
upgrade to Janus v2.1 worthwhile?  If I can get everything I need for
the $5, I think it would.  But if this is missing something critical and
I need the "kit" mentioned above, I am not sure it's worth $35.  Any
comments?

Use BTNTape instead, available on a Fish Disk or Better FTP Sites near

"Cleaver"? That could get messy when you try to feed the meat through

Somewhere in the Fish Disk range of 741-750 (I think) was a

exactly which disk, so find the 'contents' files for those ten
and I believe they'll lead you to enough genies to keep you busy

In most cases, I agree with that.  Cold can lead to moisture condensation,
