Subject:      Re: Price listings

Chris,
   And others interested.  As you can see by the listed prices about all
power up is currently doing is giving you some neat new software.  I was gonna
get an A4000, but have now opted to update my DJ service equipment.  All this
becasue the power up deal IMHO is a farce.  I don't see the large price drops
that were supposed to happen.  Or at least more than occured.  c'mon the retail
dropped by $1500 and the actual selling price only drops by around $100 or not
at all in some cases.  This is a big disappointment.

The 4000/030 (which has a 25Mhz 030ec in it) is meant to be available
here beginning of feburary. It's NZ$4500 (as opposed to NZ$6500 for the 
4000/040) so it's considerably cheaper, albeit slower

Don't try using it with the A1200, however, as the CPU inside is a MC68EC020,
ie a version without MMU support (it doesn't even have the MMU wiring
necessary). Just being over-cautious :-)

CATS UK address:

I don't know why the price is different, but it's still a good deal:

The new version was announced on bix by one of its developpers--same man who

It is based on the Pascal code of the Mac version, but enhanced.  (They
don't have ARexx, for one thing.)  It won't be cheap, but it sounds as
if it will be worth it.

Of course, there are no facts in the future.  So we will have to wait for
it to be present.

MegaChip does not any software. It works right out of the box, just
be very careful when installing it. You will, however need to cut
a jumper or two (depending on the revision of your A2000). Once you
locate them, cutting is no big deal.

BTW, I just installed two MegaChips in different machines, and
no problems yet.

One last thing, I don't see how a software based emulator could possibly be
better than a hardware one. Apparenlty PC TAsk is very fast on a 4000 (040),
but even on your 030, I'd say the hardware ones will definately be faster.

I don't know what the old reply was but you ought to check for any earth

wired could be the difference between yours and your friends machine. On
similar related things test screening cables. Did you use your friends

Dan Silva,
   I know this may sound inane, but I've seen it happen before so please
don't be offended when I ask:  Does he have more than one meg of ram?
   The MegaChip board replaces the original agnus chip with an Agnus
capable of adressing 2 megs of ram as CHIP ram.  The board itself does not
include (to my knowledge) any ram.  In order for the Megachip to give you
two megs of chip ram, you first need at LEAST two megs of ram total.
Be warned however that if you have only two megs, you will have NO fast
ram and there will likely be a noticeable decrease in program speed.

Hope this helps,
Jason Cox

Subject:      Gadgets & images

Hi!

I need some assistance with C programming on the Amiga 500+.  I am trying
to write a function called "CreateImage ()".  The synopsis looks like:


        int     CreateImage (image_st_ptr, image_data, width, height, depth);

        struct  Image   *image_st_ptr;
        UWORD   chip    *image_data;
        int                             width, height, depth;


The aim of the function is to take a pointer to an Image structure
(image_st_ptr) fill in the relevant details (such as the image data, its width,
height & depth).

After the function is called I call:

        DrawImage (window_1->RPort, &image_st, 50, 50);

But it displays a whole load of garbage!



I have tried simply filling in the structure at the same time as I declare it,
Ie,

struct  Image image_st =
{
        0, 0, 16, 6, 2,
        image_data,
        0x03, 0x00, NULL
};

And this displays the image just fine!!!


Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong?

By the way I am declaring the image data in "chip" memory and I am using
Lattice C 5.10.

Subject:      Gadgets & Images

Hi it's me again!

Last night I was playing around with the Image data that I was passing to
my CreateImage() function.  The data looks something like:


    #define IMAGE_WIDTH     16      /* 16 bits per UWORD = 16 pixels wide ? */
    #define IMAGE_HEIGHT    6       /* 6 lines high */
    #define IMAGE_DEPTH     1       /* Just use 1 for now, nothing fancy! */


    UWORD   chip    gad1_image_data [6] =
    {
        0xFFFF,
        0xFFFF,
        0xFFFF,
        0xFFFF,
        0xFFFF,
        0xFFFF            /* The last comma can be ommitted */
    };


Now, when I changed the width to 8 the function worked!  Obviously 8 is half
of 16, so am I right in writing "0xFFFF", or should that be "0xFF"?
Then, when I doubled the number of elements in the array to 12 and put the
width back to 16 the solid block was displayed correctly!


I am using the public domain C manual to write this code, I was just
wondering whether this interpretation of Image data was correct, (or am I
aiming at completely the wrong Barn Door) ?

        I am interested in purchasing a high-speed (14.4Kbps) modem for my

my machine, provided I use the correct cabling?  I know this is the case with

        Also, what should I look for in a 14.4 modem (besides price)?  I can nev

        Finally, these CCITT v.stuff modems are considered the standard for 14.4

CCITT standard and all the problems that caused.

Hello.

   In regards to the non-functional RETURN key, it may be just what happened
   to me in my A500.  The conductive contact bridge on the bottom of the key
   shaft had split.  The key was no longer making a solid contact.  I took the
   keyboard apart, removed the bridge from the RETURN key and replaced it with
   the one from the HELP key (as it's rarely used anyway).  Worked fine after
   that !

My dealer has two packs for upgrading to 2.1--one contains the rom and
the other is software only.  Naturally, one costs more.  But you
do not have to catch each revision as it comes along.

I do not have PC Task, but I believe that there is no need to partition your HD.
You can select a c: drive size from the prefs in megs. This will then create an
AmigaDos file on your hard drive of that size, which is a binary file but makes
sense to PC Task. This dead cool as it saves memory, and does not leave an ugly
unrecogniseable icon on your WB screen. Also I believe you can use the Amiga
mouse in PC mode, although I guess you would need a mouse driver. You'll have
to ask somebody else about that I'm afraid, but I know that it can be done.

I have used Transformer, it is okay, but unusable by you as it crashes on
anything except a 68000. I also have a demo version of the 020 version of
Ibemulator (I have a 1200) which is not too bad, but slow. I suspect PC Task
would be the best software emulator available.

could someone post fred's address in a form that can be used on BITNET?
i've tried several times to reach him using various addressing methods
with no luck.  if anyone has ever reached him from bitnet could you tell
the rest of us the address?

Subject:      Re: PD comm prg that uses kermit???

Look for VLT--it supports .xpr protocols. (Its author wrote the format!)
I use it with xprkermit.library all the time.  It  has ARexx support, etc.
but can be used all by itself quite easily.  Thus it is easy but as
powerful as you might want someday.  I use the .jr version because I don't
need Tektronics emulation. 146036 is the number of bytes.  Is that small?
(I never worried much about that.  I did use VLT on my old 500 with no
problem.)
