yup.

in fact, I've got a copy or THEREF42, which is a reference for hard disks,
optical drives, FLOPPY drives etc. It's out there in FTP land somewhere
(I'm sure it's on wuarchive somewhere (no, there's nuthin you aint got,

I think you have the classes for AMI-HARD and AMI-TECH backwards.  I
subscribe to AMI-HARD and get AT LEAST one 90K message per day (usually
two).  AMI-TECH gets little traffic because comp.sys.amiga.tech is a
dead (deleted) newsgroup.  There is also CSYS-AMI which is a redistribution
of comp.sys.amiga.misc, which is also very active.  I get about three
90K mail messages from this group daily.

Also, does anyone know of a program for reading those digests a bit
easier?  Perhaps it would be reasonable to write a quick and dirty
program to split the large digests into many files, each containing
a message.  The use one of the uucp-type mail readers to go through
the files.  Does this sound like a better approach?  Right now I use
MuchMore to just scroll though these digests, but there are times
where it would be nice to reply to messages without having to dig
them out to external files and then edit out all the header data.

Thoughts?

Yes, but remember, the whole atmosphere of the movie is like "old, dark and
bizarre" :-)

I think the atmosphere created in the movie is great. The Siouxsie & The
Banshees song is also great! :-)

By the way, I've seen Amigas in a couple of videos, one I don't remember
either the song or the group name but an A3000 was shown (kind of fuzzy),
the other one is one of the latests from Paula Abdul. An A500 is "shown"
almost at the beginning (you can recognize it if you own one :-).

Here in Mexico there's a commercial spot showing two young girls sitting at
a computer (an amiga) and speaking of (I don't know how to translate)
"female-only" sanity pads. One girl shows the other about the advantages in
using the "Kotex" one, with (oh no!) an animation of one of those things on
the Amiga. You can figure out what the PC users tell us poor Amiga users when
they see the commercial...

Thanks Dan, for the info.  A few more questions:
   What other things would I need to get to set the drive up in my 3.5" bay?
I assume I'll need some kinds of rails, or cables, well, what the heck, maybe
I'll call Micro Dimension and ask them if they have it.  Quarterback, which I

I had similar problems with my 2.04 upgrade (about 4 months ago) and
everyone said the same thing: "Commodore wasn't shipping enough of
them".  I managed to find a small mail order place that had it in
stock (and at a good price).  I can only assume it was only because
no one knows about the place.

Well, nothing is more annoying than going into Barnes and Nobles Bookstore
and finding a book on Multimedia, and finding that it was published 1990
and that it recommended an IBM XT or AT for many Multimedia applications.
It said that the up and coming machine is the 386 and the Macintoshes,
even in their Black and White form were truly impressive machines for
graphics, video and sound.  The book was titled Multimedia I think.

Hello,

Having just asked a question about this, but the person who replied did
not send the answer to the list, here is the answer about the keycaps.

There are 4 error checks that the keyboard goes under during startup.  If any
one of these checks fail, then the caps lock will start to blink.  The number
of times it blinks within one second indicates a certain error.  For example,
2 blinks (which my Amiga at work was doing) indicated that the RAM check (I
assume the keyboard has its own internal RAM buffer???) failed.  If you have
access to the Hardware Manuals, look under keyboard/errors in the index.

Could someone also send me information on a zmodem transfer program.  I have
yet to succesfully transfer a program from an FTP site to my amiga using
Kermit.  I am open to any solutions someone can provide.

I am using HandShake V2.20C.  I suspect that the Recieve CR and LF settings
may be at fault, altough I really haven't much of a clue here.  I have been abl
e to transfer files, however, when I attempt to dearc them lz either outputs th
e message corrupt data or nothing.  Should I be changing the FTP sites transfer
protocol to binary or leaving it in ASCII? (I seem to have had slightly better
error messages using ASCII: that is, actual file names have been found within
the archives when using ASCII transfer protocol from the FTP site to my campus
mainframe.)  HandShake appears to support only y and x modem protocols in addi-
tion to kermit. Althoughh it also appears to support external protocols as well
, so maybe zmodem support is possible.

I have an A2000 rev 4.2.  On some HAM display screens, the colors
flicker wildly, usually in the lower half of the screen, but sometimes
all over.  (This is not interlace flicker - it appears that memory is
not always being read correctly by the video chip, though RAM tests
always come up fine).

The problem is strange.  Some HAM images cause the problem at all times.
Other HAM images exhibit the problem only rarely.  Most pictures display
just fine, rock-solid.  I can't seem to find a correlation for where the
image loads in memory.  I tried loading many many HAM screens at once,
and switching betw4een them.  Some display with a little bit of flicker,
others with a lot.  All the same IFF image, too.

My computer has been upgraded to 1 Meg chip RAM, correctly (so far as I
can tell).  Is this a known rev 4.2 problem or is something weird
happening here?

Subject:      Accelerators....

Does anyone have any good info on accelerators for the Amiga 500?

You know Ad Speed, Microbotics VXL30, Mega Midget Racer and others under
$400.00.  If you have any ideas where I could get a comparison of these
or if you are knowledgable enough aobut accelorators post your two cents
worth.

In fact anything anyone has to say would be very helpful to me.  I have heard
that the Mega Midget Racer is not even worth it unless you can copy Kickstart
to 32 bit ram.  That automatically puts the price up to at least $400.00.
I heard adspeed is just not that much better than no accelerator at all.
I want to increase my overall performance not just computations.

I am looking into using IBeM and or PC-Task (whichever suits my needs) to run
MS-Dog software on my machine.  I will not be using it heavily (like every day
forever) just using it about 5 hours a week.  I figured that it would be worth
it to pay the registration fee and the money for an accelerator instead of
paying for AT-once+ or another hardware solution.  This way I could better
my whole system not just in the emulation mode.

Any Ideas would be helpful.

Is that possible? If you find one, please Email me!
