Eek.  I do believe I'm in error.  I think that perhaps this should say
"24-bits" rather than "16-bits" of dataspace.

Thankyou for this information.

I eventually mounted my Quantum Pro 210 in the A4000, on the GVP
Series II card, and it works okay.  A bit noisier than it was
though.  The advice from the previous poster about backing it up
and reformatting in the new position, might be one I follow
through.  Although the thought of all those floppies is just too
much like a headache.  Better than losing data though.  And I get
to use Amiback in anger too.

Subject: 1 Meg Chip Ram, swapping 8370 and 8372.
Organization: University of Keentookey
Date: Tue, 15 Dec 1992 19:46:48 GMT

Thanks for the responses I received about mods for getting 1 meg of chip
ram..
 
Now my other question is this..
 
My friend has a 500 with a revision 6A motherboard, with a 8372A Agnus
chip.  His JP2 jumper is set the same as mine, and his A501 is identical
to mine..
 
I have a A500 with a revision 5 motherboard, with a 8370 Agnus chip.  I
tried a while back to simply switch the Agnus chips, yet this came up
with both computers having chip ram errors.  (Green screen).
 
 
Will my computer not work until I make the modifications?  I thought you
could simply swap the chips, but you would still only have 512K chip ram
unless you made the mods?
 
Also...  How do I get *his* computer to work with a 8370 chip?
 
 
He only plays games on his, and has agreed to swap chips with me..  Of
course, this requires his *works*.. :)
 
Thanks for your help.. :)

   A CD-ROM drive that can handle multisession discs would also be nice.  If
you later turn your discs in to have additional pictures put on them, it would
be nice to be able to see the pictures.

The problem is a very simple one, but the solution is not something that
I would wish on you.  We have an abundance of both ignorant and stupid
people in the US who believe that buying a Clone is "the right thing to
do".  Consequently, Clone sales are very high and Amiga sales are very
low, forcing Commodore to offer deals such as the PowerUp program.

I need an adapter for an IBM standard VGA port to the Commodore 1084S monitor.
I'd prefer one with decent resolution and full color. If you need to interface
a Commodore Analog -> RCA adapter, I have that thing too. 

If there is a way to get VGA->1084S or VGA->RCA without any major PC

I think we can at least can the revisionist history here.  The C= drives (made
as a custom item for C= by Chinon) are standard height 3.5" drives, rather
than the half-height (25mm or less) required by the A1200.  These will fit
in most Amigas, though you have to get a different version for the A3000 since
you'll need one that'll fit into the A3000's molded bezel.  A4000, A2000, and
A500, and A1000 all work with the normal drive, sans bezel in the last two
cases.

The 20MB floptical isn't a bad alternative.  If you're going to buy a C= priced
replacement drive, you might get the 20MB for little more than twice the price
from a discount house.  Of course, you'll need a SCSI drive, and not all the
flopticals have firmware that understands the Amiga format.  Any drive that can
do a raw disk read can support the Amiga format, since it's basically a full
track version of the IBM format as far as the low-level code is concerned.  
However, such a low-level approach would require a new device driver that 
works via SCSI direct.  If the drive knows Amiga, it can work via normal SCSI
device.

No.  You would need a new SCSI controller (one isn't out yet).  You also 
would likely not want to use your memory, as it's 16-bit and really wouldn't
help you any in terms of speed.  Best to buy 32-bit RAM.  I'd venture a 
guess that third parties are working on SCSI/RAM cards for the A1200's
trapdoor now.  With such a card you could use a SCSI *drive*, but you wouldn't
use your old controller.

No.  Where would you put it?  The A1200 uses an EC020 which is surface-mounted
(and not pin-compatible with a 68000 to boot)  You can always switch IBM
emulators though.  Pc-Task and/or IBeM would probably work for you.

Dpaint's been rewritten for AGA (so I've heard) so you'd want to upgrade it.
As for the other hardware, you don't have to remove any chips on the 
motherboard to use it, so hooking it to the 1200 wouldn't pose a problem.
And if the software's programmed right it should run (albeit a bit faster :) )

Probably, but if this 'rumour' is correct then the AGA-chips will be on a
card which goes into the videoslot.

I know of two 3-button mice:
1) the BOING!-mouse from GfxBase (408-262-1469), 1881 Ellwell Dr., Milpitas, Ca.95035
   It's an optical mouse originally from Mouse Systems -> same thing as the SUN-mouse.
   It comes with an 7"x7.75" Alumunium 200CPI pad.
   It feels good in your hand, but it's not cheap.

2) GoldenImage mouse.
   Optical mouse too, but doesn't feel so good like the BOING! mouse IMHO.
   (and there is a DIP-switch ATARI<->AMIGA :-#).

Disclaimer: No I don't work for GfxBase, I'm just a BOING!-mouse fan.

	My two cents, for the nearly $500 it cost, the 1960 is a pretty
sad excuse for a monitor.  Being new to the Amiga scene, I just took 
their word for it and bought the 1960 as the recommended monitor
assuming it worked with the machine it was recommended for.  Sigh.
Are there any mulitsyncs that would work better?
	To be fair, though, I am very happy with the A4000 itself.

I have picked up a Caliper tape drive which I believe is the
same as the type used in the A3070.  However, I have no manual
to go with it.  I would simply like to know what the functions
are of the DIP switches on the side.  Most importantly, which
are for setting the SCSI id?

I don't have it with me now, but I think the model number is
something like CP150SAEH.

Hi!

Recently, I added another 4MB of RAM to my A3000/25, which is now enjoying
the use of 10MB. The installation went as fine as is possible with all the
stuff you have to remove and then put back to access the expansion connectors.
At startup, all 8MB of fast RAM is correctly recognized.

Only, since then some programs have been starting to guru my machine more
often than before (guru 8000 00004 among others), and I was wondering if it
could have anything to do with that (eg: access to a damaged chip could cause
random gurus?). Therefore, I was wondering if there is such a (pd?) thing as a 
fast-RAM tester for the A3000 (or for just any autoconfiguring RAM card, I
guess should do the trick?)

Thanks for any pointer in that direction...

Christian.
