Summary: PC Task Problems with dBaseIIIPlus


I have the latest version of PC Task (1.11) and thought everything was
fine with quite a lot of software until I ran dBaseIIIPlus with a very
simple example that included a file with text fields and numeric fields.
When I entered the field length (say 12) the program would not take it or it
woule change the field length to say 7.  Anyone noticed this?  Any
help would be appreciated.

hello,

	WOW!! I am in love with the Vortex GoldenGate 486 bridgeboard-LIKE 
card. If anyone get's a hold of one please post a review or just opinions. I 
noticed from the specs  (in the latest AMIGAWORLD ad) that it seems better than 
the similar offering from the other company in the back of the book (sorry but 
I don't remember thier names- besides... who else makes 486 BB's?). The 
GoldenGate has a max capacity of 16megs the other 8. 

	Someone go out and get one ! Try it ! Let us know !!

It's interesting that at one time, circumstances like this were commonplace.
When the Altair 88 was released, you had to assemble it yourself and pray
that it would work. You didn't get any RAM (it was on a separate card) and
absolutely no software shipped with the product. And yet, thousands of
these things were sold. Somehow some of the original appeal to computing
has been lost in the 'plug-and-play' mentality.

We now return you back to our regularly scheduled agenda :).

I have heard reports from people with 3000s and 2.04 ROMs that can not get
Emplant to work.  Same with 4000s.  And I haven't heard anyone yet post a
working report with a 3000 of any configuration.  I considered getting a
2.04 ROM, but based on other user's experiances, did not think this would
fix the problem, and I'll just wait for UU's fix on this one.

I am considering buying an ATonce (not the plus version) and I have an

it needs and adapter to the Gary chip and since the A1000 does not have one of
these, could this be a problem.  If this question has already been asked, I am
sorry for the wasted bandwith.

Everyone I've talked (Amiga *AND* IBM advocates) say it was just a joke.  The
one they've all seen is just a picture of the "Insert Workbench" screen.
Some poor sap here, asked me if he could borrow my workbench disk.
HA HA HA HA, man, I could hardly stop myself from cracking up. ;-)

But who knows, maybe there's something else out there (but I doubt it!)

Alan,
	Do you own one?

	If you don't have one, don't gripe.  Attitudes like the one you are
presenting will kill what little active development is going on in the Amiga
community now.  

	I suspect that stuff like all the posting here forced Jim to release
his product before it was truly ready for market.

	I have my board, and I'm sure that in the next weeks I'll have
software updates.

Yes, mine's running on an A2000 with A2630.  Although it required the new
software update before it started working.  So in effect, it's also true
that they probably shipped a product that at the time, no one could use.

I think JD's setup is A2000 with VXL-30.

I don't understand what the %$#!# is going on here???? 
 
We have not had anymore than 100 phone calls concerning the functionally
of EMPLANT. The majority of calls received were from people who have
early A3000's with the Super KickStarts.  This (besides the random
interrupt problem, which we fixed) are the only problems that I have even
heard of...  We have many HAPPY people out there...so what gives???
 
Again, we did not release the product premature...I personally could not
give a rip about being pressured, as that doesn't bother me at all (after
all, not even all of presidential candidates ripping each other combined
would equal the stuff thrown at me).  ;-)
 
These comments about "lay off for a week" are appreciated, however, I
don't understand the reasoning behind them...as the problems are on
select machines that probably make up 1/4% of existing Amigas (a machine
that we did not have to test with).  So, if there are other problems,
*please* bring them up, as we are not hearing real buggy type of problems
on the phone or on our BBS...just here on the net.
 
Thanks for hanging in there guys...

I am sure hoping that Emplant is a success.  And I'd think anyone interested
in the succes of Amiga feels the same.  

You have to admit that UU's strategy of using the net to launch and maybe
debug Emplant is a good idea.  It would have costs thousands of dollars 
and taken months to test Emplant with all of the various boards and hard
drives out there.  I am not so sure that it was the intent of UU to use
net readers as beta testors.  I'd guess that most of their problems stem
from enthusiasm and expectations-too-high.  But they seem like typical
Amiga people. ...people who just love computers and like Amiga because
of it's superior design and capabilities.  And Emplant will be good for
all other Amiga users since it will greatly extend the power of Amiga
computers and enhance their maketability.

My hope is that netters help UU out in getting Emplant to fly and in 
return that UU get on with the 386/486 emulation and keeps the price of
emplant down.  There's no substitute for positive thinking and good will.

Organization: National Optical Astronomy Observatories, Tucson AZ
Date: Mon, 16 Nov 1992 15:54:33 GMT


SUMMARY OF MAC FLOPPY RESPONSES:

   The main problem is that Macs use a floppy drive that changes speeds as the
head moves toward the center. No other computer does that. As a result disks
written on a Mac cannot be read by any other machine without a special
hardware interface. The Amiga comes the closest to being able to do it, but
still needs some hardware help. Hence the need for Sybil or AmaxII plus.

Hello, I don't know if there is a utility to read directly mac floppies on a
Amiga or the reverse. 
Having a Mac I usualy tranfer things for a Amiga by saving the files on a
MS-Dos formated floppie (with Dos-Mounter Apple File Exchange or PC-Excange)
then read it on the Amiga with cross-dos. It isn't simple but it works.
Be carfull with the file names as they con only have 8 char in MS-Dos.
For the file tranfert they are some prgrams that read IFF .Photoshop is the 
one I know and use they may be other. I don't know if any Amiga program uses
the GIF format, but it is relatively commun to find a program able to read it
under Mac.

There are a variety of image formats in the mac world. I have had the best succ
ess so far using photoshop. Shrink the image down to 1/4 size, save as 5bit
amiga/iff. Transfer the iff over to msdos with Apple File Exchange. Then read
the msdos with crossdos. The images should load into Dpaint 32 color mode.

Not particularly.  At work, I have used standard 486DX-33's, and my

SysInfo returns about 74, as I recall.  As a matter of fact, the number I
got with Norton on the 486DX was only about .2-.3 more.  Also, I haven't
noticed any problems with the Cyrix chip....no incompatibility.  We are

Keywords: Sybil,UU,help

With all the recent discussion of Emplant (which I'm not going
to get into here), there are numerous refences to the U.U. product
"Sybil".  From what I gather, it allows the Amiga to read and write
Macintosh formatted disks.  (Am I right so far?)
	Is this hardware or software, or both?  If it's hardware,
does it work with internal floppies, or is it like the Amax cartridge,
which was external-only?  Does it come with Emplant?  It would
seem to be something you'd need to get the thing running.  
Lastly: does it work?  Reliably?

e-mail responses are appreciated...

thanks,

It is called mega midget racer, or the new derringer.  No ram here but it
will serve as giving you the mmu and an 881 at that price.  Atleast that
is what i am doing for now.
