For sale CHEAP!
 
Maxtor 3280s SCSI drive - 240 megabytes
 -no errors
 -5.25" full height drive
 -19 miliseconds I believe (but don't quote me)
 
Drive has no errors and works like a champ when connected to an Amiga 3000.
I now have a 4000 and no SCSI controller, so this drive is of no use
to me.  It is an internal drive - so you do need some sort of external
case/power supply or else a tower system.
 
I will let go for approx. $1 a meg, *** $275 *** + shipping.

	Apparently, I made a big mistake in my review of Wing Commander from
Mindscape.  I said that OS revision 2.0 makes the 16-color cross hatching go
to 32 colors, but this is not correct.  It is the fact that the cross
hatching or dithering, under composite video output, antialiases and smooths
out to a point that the in-between colors create a smooth shade of color
between them.  This makes the composite or TV output of the game look like a
32 color version; in fact, you can hardly see the cross hatching at all with
composite video.  Those of you who can connect to TVs or composite monitors
will see an improvement in graphics quality; it is not dependent on the OS.
I'm truly sorry for this mistake, this is the first time I've ever seen this
trick done.  In future releases though, I'll test machines that are
connected to monitors and just use mine to test compatibility.

	In addition, Mindscape said that there is an AGA specific version
being released that will support the 256 color mode on AGA machines.  Those
with AGA machines such as the A1200 or the A4000 may want to wait for that
version to be released instead of this version of Wing Commander.

C= removed the speech synthesis libraries in order to save money.  In my
opinion, this was not smart, since speech synthesis is one of the few remaining
features of the Amiga that set it apart from all the rest (aside from a true
multitasking operating system :-). 

I think your replacement didn't work because it was not a complete replacement. 
There are _two_ libraries necessary for speech synthesis, translator.library
(which translates words into corresponding phonetics) and narrator.library
(which actually provides the speech synthesis).

If you replace both of them, you should have no problem.

	I have been using the Trueprint-24 program with my HP 500C since
Christmas and have very pleased with the results.  My only complaint is
that the program lacks any kind of preview to predict how the output will
look. Since you can do gamma correction and brightness/contrast control
the printed output can vary widely.  With the correct setting (not always
easy to determined), the results can be quite stunning.  The actual number
of colors that you get depends on the type of dithering and/or cell size
that you choose.  I find that TP24 fills a void in the Amiga system software.
I had been looking for a program that would give me finer control when
printing a file (such a placement on the page, scaling, etc) than can
be had with Deluxe Paint et al.  I have found that with TP24.

Don't know why you didn't get it (I think C= dropped it for some STUPID reason),
but try copying the narrator.device over from 1.3 (or 2.04, preferably) as well as
the translator.library.  It SHOULD work.

I'm experiencing a rather strange behaviour concerning FFS disks (V37,
I haven't checked V39 yet):
* I copy files with exactly 1755 blocks onto an empty FFS disks. This
  leaves ONE block free (seems there must be a free block on every disk).
* Then, I take the disk out of the drive or do a DiskChange.
* I put the disk back in, do an Info, and get TWO free blocks!
  (unfortunatly, doing another DiskChange won't give me 3, 4... blocks)

Anybody out there having an explanation?

Thanx in advance,

I'm looking for help with a curious problem I have been having with my Amiga
500.  For the last several months, I have been getting sporatic GURU messages
and I am puzzled as to why.

It only seems to happen when I am using the modem, and a typical GURU is
this:      00000003.002BADC0

My system consists of a Rev 5 A500 with 512K AGNUS and WB 1.3. I also have an
internal 1.8 meg memory card installed in the A501 slot, plus a Trumpcard
Professional hard drive (52 megs SCSI Quantum), and the Meta4 memory board
with 2 megs installed.

I have taken the machine apart and made sure the socketed chips were secure,
but the machine still crashes.

Any and ALL help is greatly appreciated!  I'm tired of this!

   Bull.  "Everything" would not break.  Only the few demos and games written
to the AGA registers would break.  And such software would not have a very
long time to accumulate if Commodore releases the next chipsets soon enough.

Well, apparently, there are more than compatibility issues involved.  On
csa.games, Chris Green mentioned that getting 2x or 4x bandwidth out of
AGA is not "easy".  ie.  The only way to get fast screens for most
hardware programmers is to use the OS.  I *love* it, all these Kewl
D00ds talking about how fast hardware hacking is... guess what, it turns
out it's SLOWER if you use those reverse engineered AGA hardware refs,
since most of them don't mention anything about alignment restrictions
and enhanced fetch modes.  I gotta laugh.

I've got one of each ( 85 ELS and 80 LPS ) in a dual bay external HD case

I've never run a quantitative speed comparison on them, but haven't noticed

They do sound different.  The old LPS sort of 'burbles'.  The new ELS has

is more noticable.

The ELS is a bit thinner.  Single platter maybe?

If you are using UNIX there should be a program called "binsplit" or
something similar. This enables a file to be split up into any size chunks
thus allowing large files to be put on an MSDOS disk. 

I think I FTPed the source from somewhere so if you can't find the program
on your system, I will mail you the C source code which you can compile.
