Jim, how can you post this stuff with a clear mind?  We all know how EMPLANT
does not have HardDrive support, but here you are telling us that if we
have a HD hooked up to our system EMPLANT will use it.

C'mon, give us more credit than that.

I'd like to hear from any registered users of the A64 Package.
In particular, I'd like to find out if the product is still
being supported and the current version.

Thanks in advance.

You misunderstood my question.  I was asking about a specific software
package for the Mac called "Drive7" from Casa Blanca Works.  The Mac
boots device drivers directly from a reserved area on the disk drive,
and this software package installs drivers on SCSI disks.  For some
reason, it hangs my machine when it is doing its SCSI bus scan looking
for likely devices.  Casa Blanca Works is unable to help me, since it's
not Mac hardware, and ReadySoft doesn't know either.

On the chance that there is something wrong in my setup, and not something
fundamental, I was wondering if anyone else has tried it.

I was not talking about SCSI bus device address 7, nor even "Drive 7
for the controler".  By the way, I do indeed have all seven available
SCSI addresses occupied.

So, to restate my question, does anyone know anything about the Mac software
product called "Drive7" and whether it does, could possibly, or could never
at all work with Amax?

If you don't know, feel free to refrain from volunteering an incorrect
answer!

The public domain A64 package is by far the best C64 emulator.  It does
*everything* the 64 could do, better.  It also includes many enhancements (easy
file transfers, use of a 3.5" as a C64 drive, menus, etc.) that make using it a
breeze.

If I were you I would maybe move the device you were wanting to
recognize to another position higher on the chain.  Also you might try
removing all but the desired drive and trying it then adding devices
until you isolate which combination is causing you to hang.

Sorry don't know anything about the "Drive 7" software but having

If you have a 2000 or 3000 look at David Salomon's Golden Gate and
Golden GateII that allow you to use IBM cards *including* controllers
from AmigaDos.

This would be a really effective alternative to the 2090A or
Bridgeboards (which is really silly if you just want to use an MFM
drive, IMO.

I'll post David's address if that's alright with him for anyone interested.

Hmm...just to be clear here. Does Emplant support Amiga peripherals as
Mac devices (eg. Ethernet, SCSI, etc...)? Is the A4000 supported and what
about 32bit clean ROM's as found in a ci? Also, when one uses a Mac floppy
disk, does it appear on a Mac desktop? Many other questions involving 
support for networking, A/UX,etc.. And what about ADB? It would be nice
to know what Emplant will and won't do within a few months time. Does it
multitask with the Amiga?

I am a registered user...

The last upgrade I got was quite a while ago, over a year probably.  I
registered when A64 was first developed, got the original package, and
then somewhat later this one upgrade.

A64 is in almost all ways a very fine piece of work.  The one problem
I have that I really wish would be fixed is that it will not access
1541 drives (using the interface box provided to registered users)
if you are running on an "accelerated" machine (i.e. anything with
more than a 68000 processor).  So although the emulation is really
quite remarkable, I can't access stuff on 64 disks, unless I first
copy the 64 disk to an amiga disk using a 68000-based machine.  Even
this is not always possible, since many programs are copy protected.

One more upgrade, Please!!?

The best thing would be to add a PC HD to the A2286, but I beleive an ADDBUFFERS

Actually, there is AmigaDOS "device" support for EMPLANT.   So, ANY
device that supports a HiCyl/LoCyl format (Such as, but not limited to,
hard drives, recoverable ram disk, etc.) will work fine.  There is no
need for "device drivers".  If the device works on the Amiga, it will
work with our emulator.  :-)

The Aboot.ctrl file is just a pointer to the Amiga file representing your
pseudo C drive, not the actual file created by MakeAB!  Terminate the file
name specified by Aboot.ctrl with 0x0A.  My Aboot.ctrl file specifies:
AT:ATHardDisk where AT: is my partition for the pseudo C drive and
ATHardDisk is the large file created by MakeAB.  It's best to use a
partition that just contains the pseudo C drive as you may have to use a
mask=0 entry to avoid parity errors.  Mask=0 prevents DMA I believe, so you
don't want to use this value on your normal Amiga partitions of course,
just the emulated PC C drive.

 H> I'd also like to know what is the usual way to get the services started

I have entries in user-startup for the PCDisk program, etc.  The timing may
be important as your PC will be trying to boot from the pseudo C drive so
you may have to play around with where you place the run PCDisk entry which
makes the connection.

You've done very well without the documentation!  Good luck.

Yes, the A1200 is a full 32 bit machine. BUT the PCMCIA is a 16 bit

PCMCIA is 16 BIT. Period.

Yes, my Emplant boots quite nicely from an AMAX partition, in colour too!  I
thinkk we were all too quick to jump on jim when the original software came
out.  But I do have a couple questions.

1) I have a 2000 with a 2620, while I realise this is slow for a 1992/3 machine
Emplant seems to crawl relative to AMAX, even with the priority kicked up.. Why
is it so slow?  I mean it takes seconds even for the menus to open!

2) When will there be support for all memory, not just 32 bit?

A novice to EMPLANT asks:  How do I get a disk image from my MAC to a
binary file suitable for EMPLANT's converter program to handle?  I
want to read in MAC disks on my MAC, produce files of the appropriate
format, and write EMPLANT format using the converter program.

The DiskCopy format often seen on MACs doesn't appear to be acceptable...

Are suitable disk images available (6.0.7 or 6.0.8) out in ftp-land?
