I always use shutdown before resetting unless the Mac locks up so that I
can't shutdown; in those cases, I have experienced lost data but I've
replaced my copy of SoftwareFPU twice so it's not a corrupted file.

That makes sense, but for two problems - 1) SoftwareFPU's icon doesn't
show up on bootup greyed out as it's supposed to do when it refuses to
install for that reason, 2) It did work the first time I installed it;
the Mac won't recognize the 040's built-in FPU for some reason (both
MacEnvy and Speedometer deny its existence) so it should work with that-
besides which, the 040's built-in FPU doesn't perform all 68881 operations
(transcendental functions).

Thanks for all the responses...I'd appreciate anyone with ideas as I
still haven't found a way to run software that requires an FPU under
A-Max with a 68040.

I've tested (briefly) System 7.1 on Emplant v1.7.  This is on an Amiga 3000
with 2.04 in ROM, 8MB Fast, 2MB Chip, 5MB for Emplant system memory, booting
from an AMAX formatted 88MB SyQuest partition.

BTW, I had to get an updated HardKickMMU program.  The one that comes with
1.7 has a problem with 10MB 3000's.

	Please reconsider this, as undoubtedly CBM will make a machine
with a PCMCIA slot of a different height. My A3000 is on top of a
Computer Shopper so that my A520 and other boxes can be plugged in. If
possible, please make a cable available for those who may wish to not

ETC does not work with A-Max. I have also tried it a few monthes ago, to do just
the same as you, that is: formatting 88MB Syquests. You should get a copy of
another Mac formatter (like Sylverlining, Relax, etc...)

The one I've seen (couldn't call it an emulator) was a picture of the 1.2

I just tried to use MultiDOS and have a few questions to thoes who *know*.

1) Should I get busy icons for both df0: and df1: when I run PCMountAll.
These go away if I insert a disk. Should this be hapening?

2) Do I need to change my MountList? MultiDOS comes with an example MountList
but I don't understand if the examples are required or optional.

3) What does "Capture the drive" or "Take over the drive" mean (I don't
have the documentation here in front of me so I don't know the exact
wording)?

4) Do I have to MOUNT anything for this to work?

I would appricaite any help.

Well, PPage 4.0 with AGA support as well as lots of other features has been
advertised in Amiga World. Don't know if it's available yet though.

But anyway, PPage 3.0 could be used with a little care on the A4000.
At least I do.

Avoid switching between color and B/W modes.
Avoid getting low on chip.

Well, that should do it I think.
I agree it's good solution but at least if you need the program while waiting
for an upgrade it's probably the only solution.

Although.... I still think it's incredible that Gold Disk couldn't release
an OS 3.0 compatible version the day when the A4000 was released.

Hi Everybody

Already a long time ago I bought a sampler named 'FINAL SAMPLER'. I don't use
it that often, but it is doing a real fine job. However there is one thing
that irritates me: with some programs you have to pretend to sample in stereo
and waiste half the memory. This is because the final sampler is a monosampler
and so only one of the two channels is used. The other is useless as it
samples always values of -128.
The documentation says that if I buy Audiomaster from Aegis I will also have
this problem. However there is a simple patch to this problem. It is
documented in 68000'er number january 1988 pg 108. As you'll understand I
don't have that magazine, yet I would like to have that little software
modification in case I buy Audiomaster.

Question: Anybody who has that modification ??

If you have it, then please respond.
Thanks in advance.

SOX converts anything to anything, basically.  It's available for
Unix, DOS, VMS, NeXT, and AmigaDOS.  For AmigaDOS, look in AmiNet
sites under mus/edit/amisox20bin.lha.  Unix-compatible source code is
there, too, under the name amisox20src.lha.

That archive contains public release 5 of SOX.  Release 6 is in final
testing stages, and should be available widely as source code very
soon.  When it is, I'll put the Amiga binary up for FTP.  Release 6
incorporates all format and effect drivers written to date, and cleans
a few things up.  One of the niceties about this is the 'auto'
meta-handler, which magically detects the type of any input file so
you don't have to know.

If I remember correctly, I think Oaklisp has a Scheme interpreter,
alongside its normap LISP interpreter engine.  Oaklisp is available on
Fred Fish Disks 520 and 521.  

In addition, I've used a smaller Scheme package on FF 149 (which was
very small, and good for practicing up on CARs, CDRs, and basic
recursion techniques, but not much more).  

Also, if you have an accelerated machine, I think you have to use
Degrader to be able to use either of these.  (I think.  Try and see.)

Why?  EMACS is God.  (Well, I'm using NEMACS, a Japanese-enabled
version of EMACS.  Quite useful.)

Hope that helps.

    They say that they failed to open the library, which is a slightly
    different thing. The software requests a version number for the
    library, and the version you must have has an older number than
    required.

    Version 22.3 should be available for FTP from amiga.physik.etc. I
    have been told that 22.1 crashes on the first frame, so it would
    be a good idea to get the latest version, 22._3_.

    That just means that Exec has opened the library just enough to
    find out that it isn't the version unflit or undl want.

    BTW, does that appreciation extend to emailing the author any
    interesting animations that he hasn't already got?

Yes it is true... I have it on my A2000 (with an '030 board in it), but I'm
a developer, so we get these perks...

I haven't noticed because I upgraded to '030 and got the WB3.0 at the same
time... Fairly quick though... I have it in 8-colour workbench...

I doubt it pretty much... Although it may be possible. When WB4.0 comes out,
with retargetable graphics, you'll likely see this enhancement to 2.1+, since,
with the addition of conforming cards and drivers, just about any machine
could have fully integrated high level graphics...
