    I use a Gateway 2000 at work, mainly as a PC/VAX data translation system.
However, it came equipped with an Archive 250MGB tape drive, and it, with its
software, can't be beat.  I paid $199 for an internal drive, and would like to
have something comparable for my Amiga 2000, but the prices in the ads are all
in the $5-600 range!  I know that SCSI peripherals are a bit more expensive, but
my hard drive bay is still unoccupied; just need to know what I would need to
set this up internally.  It's a great way to keep your configuration and files
safe.
    If I mounted the earlier described bare drive internally, would I need a
separate power supply or could I use my 2000s?
    Any ideas?

If you haven't gotten a copy of the RKM's from C/A, I would HIGHLY recommend
getting them before you asking questions about how things like that work.
There are plenty of examples for those devices/ports/etc...

However, to answer your question, I'd recommend picking up ...

a) AmigaTerm from the first Fred Fish
b) Dillion's IO routines (can't remember the name of them.. sorry)
c) PopCLI Source from Software Distillary

Those will provide some really good examples of how to use the MsgPorts and
the serial routines.  I'm sure there are other good examples, but these are the

only ones I can think of at this time...

Ignore the subject :-).

I'm having some odd problems with interlace.  While flipping screens, some
screens will become deinterlaced, but flipping the other way (using Mach III)
will re-interlace the deinterlaced screen.   What I mean by deinterlaced
screen is that the interlace screen is folded in half on itself and flickers
like crazy and crashes if you try to do anything on that particular screen.
It makes my Amiga look bad....... any solutions?

Yes, there are a couple in the UUarchive, but there is also a commercial
one that is sold for not more than $100 I believe and it covers harddrives
and harddrives controllers....
  I think it's called the harddrive encyclopedia or something like that...

The cleanest one is the setpatch Commodore released with AmigaDOS 1.3.3
(For the curious, 1.3.3 was primarily a developer release).  The setpatch
was distributed with enforcer (as running enforcer under 1.3 without the
1.3.3 setpatch was incredibly painful), and can be found on fish disk
454 at your favorite fish disk archive site.

Hi!

I have an A2000HD with an 030combo (GVP) accelerator/HD controller and I want to

QUESTION: can I buy ANY SCSI hard drive or must it be specific for the Amiga ? P
   C HD's are diferent from Amiga HD's ?

        Greetings and welcome back to Classes!

        I have was wondering if there are any people out there that are using
the program AnalyCalc on their Amiga at the moment, and if so, if they have set
up any kind of short cuts (defined hot keys, etc.) for our favorite machine.
        For those of you who do not know what AnalyCalc is, it is a FORTRAN
based, multi-platform (Amiga, Mac, IBM, VAX, UNIX, just to name a few..)
spread sheet and data base program.  It is available via anonymous FTP, and it
is supposed to be one of the most powerful programs of its ilk available, due to
it's portability.  Unfortunately, it is also NOT what you would call an
intuitive program, and takes a lot of in depth study to even understand it's
docs...
        So, once again, if there are people out there that are using the Prog on
the Amiga, I would love to hear how you have yours set up...
                Many thanks,

Sorry, Jeremy: Turbo Pascal is only available for I*M PCs. There is a PD Pascal
compiler on one of the fish disks which may suit you. The other option is to
use a PC emulator and run turbo pascal under that. I've got an ATonce hardware
emulator which works really well, and there are a couple of shareware
software PC emulators around too. The difference is that software emulators
are much slower (but cheaper!).

The other concern is that Turbo Pascal is currently up to version 6, and I
don't think you'll be able to run it from a floppy (of course, I've been
wrong before). I have, however, successfully used Turbo Pascal version 3
from a floppy, using a software emulator. A hard disk will speed thing up
no matter which way you go.

hope this helps

I just popped over there to check this out:

 'ls'  command appears to be disabled, giving waht appears to be blank/empty
 directories.

 I used 'mget *' to see if any files were there.  This gave me the name of
 the directories (I rely on  ls  so I don't have them memorized).
  
 From this I went into another directory and did another mget *.
  
 The files are there, and I retrieved a couple that I don't need. :>
  
 Royal pain, but hopefully it's just a bug.   I don't know who to contact 
 there to leave email about the problem, but someone here probably does.
  
  Good luck...blindness is no fun...no fun at all.  And that's what it feels
  like to me without the use of the unix ls command.

A SCSI drive is a SCSI drive.  PC's also use IDE, MFM, and RLL (the last two
are older, slower, and less popular now).  Make sure your '030 board has a
SCSI HD controller, because I think some of the very early accelerator boards
had IDE controllers.

Is the 'dir' command dead as well?  This just lists file names, but is better

Well, I notice a lot of questions concerning FTP now that school is

that had been running it has gone on to newer and better things,
apparently.  The new site is wuarchive.wustl.edu [128.252.135.4].

Wuarchive has a full mirror of the final state of AB20, plus a lot of new
stuff, in /systems/amiga.  They also have a mirror of
amiga.physik.unizh.ch (a popular FTP site overseas) in /mirrors.
Wuarchive also has 2 mailing lists that you can subscribe to:  one is
new-amiga - it sends out a daily update of the new files uploaded to
wuarchive.  The other is amiga - it is a discussion of the files available
on wuarchive.  To subscribe to either of these, send mail to
wugate.wustl.edu with one of the following in the body of the message:

SUBSCRIBE NEW-AMIGA         {for the new-amiga list}

The amiga section of wuarchive is presided over by Dave Tucker, and he's
doing a great job!

Subject:      Re: Accelerators....

I am trying to install the new GCC2.1 on my A500 under 1.3, and it cant
find the library file 'mathieeesingbas.library'.  The docs say that this
is built into ROM in 2.x, but there is a file available for 1.3, and it
has been posted to comp.sys.amiga.programmer before, so I am asking if
anyone knows where I could get this library, or if anyone could send it.

Thanks!!

Jim Drew has officially announced EMPLANT.  He will be demonstrating it
at World of Commodore Amiga show in mid Sept.

He put some digitized pictures of EMPLANT on wuarchive.wustl.edu.
If you have access to ftp sites, get them and view them.

Yours Sincerely,
Kelvin

Is there such a beast for the Amiga?  In a way I hope not, but I am taking
the programmers favorite language :( .

Subject:      More descr. re:kermit...

Concerning the Kermit Amiga <--> university transfer problems, the
university has (last time I checked... ; ) ) an IBM 370.  Also, I was
told by the computing centre people that for a non-IBM machine, Kermit
was the only option.

I invoke kermit at the university with (surprise!) the command kermit
then it gives me a prompt similar to Kermit > (maybe a little more
dressing, I don't remember. Nothing important...) It says to ?  for
help, which gives a list of keywords ( DIRectory SENd , etc. ) If I tell
it to SEN foobar , it does tell me to escape and start download - but
I'm new to NComm (I use JRComm...) and even when I tell NComm kermit
protocol, the download just ... does nothing.
(Which *isn't* very productive... in a downloading kinda way)

1) Thanks to people who've answered so far (all have vaxes, I think).
2) Any words of wisdom *now*? NComm people/kermit users unite!
