I really, really like my Supra v.32bis. I had no trouble setting it up,
it's fast as hell, the faxes are great, the software is great, the price
is great, the display is great, the manual is great, and the company has a
terrific ROM upgrade policy.

I WOULD RECOMMEND SUPRA MODEMS UNRESERVEDLY-I HAVE HAD FEWER PROBLEMS WITH
IT (0, TO BE EXACT) THAN ANY OF MY FRIENDS HAVE HAD WITH OTHER HIGH SPEED

There have been a few posts by Clone users refering to the multimedia.  Is the
the MPC that cloners have been talking about?  Is it the term multimedia?  If
it's the latter, guess what.  Amiga users have had that for years.  As far as
sound quality, the Amigas seven year old sound chip sounds just as good as the
SBPro that IBM Clone users die for!  Without a soiund card, yeah the PC can
make sounds other than beeps, but there is the most annoying buzz in the
sounds.  It's sorta like saying, ":Yeah, I can go faster than 60 vin a Yugo. 
The shimmying doesn't make much of a difference".

Thanks to everyone who pointed me at BTNtape and the GNU tar port, but I
still don't quite have it working.  I'm not sure whether I don't have
the mountlist entry set up right, or if there's a 2.1 incompatability
somewhere.

Configuration:
	Amiga 2000 (no acceleration, `Normal' chipset)
	2.1 OS/ROMS
	GVP HC+ with 8M SIMMS, no on-board disk
	Quantum ProDrive 105S in the bay (SCSI target 2)
	Archive Viper 150M cartridge tape in the bay (SCSI target 1)

This works fine for backup/restore via QuarterBack, the problem is strictly
with attempting to transfer data between the Ami and a SPARCstation (unix).
I picked up BTNtape and GNU tar from wuarchive.  After reading the BTNtape
docs, I created the following mountlist entry:

	TAPE:	Handler		= L:btn-handler
		Startup		= "gvpscsi.device/UN-1/BS-512/NB-128/BT-4"
		StackSize	= 4000
		Priority	= 5
		GlobVec		= -1
		Mount		= 1

It seemed to mount OK, so I tried gnutar.  It complained about not having
arp.library.  So I downloaded the 1.3 ARP distribution and installed the
library.  It works fine when extracting from a tarfile on the harddisk.
(Copied over via PC-DOS floppy.)  But when extracting from tape the tape
moves back and forth for a few seconds then I get a `Please insert volume
local in any drive' requester.  After about four cancels the tar proceeds,
or the system crashes (which seems to be random.)  When attempting to
extract from a tarfile on a PC-DOS disk, the requestor was always followed
by a crash.


Any clues?



Thanks,
-Pat

Use the Commodity 'ClickToFront' which comes along with 2.04, it'll do the

	I have some good news for people who stopped using "Snap" by Mikael
Karlsson under Workbench 2.04.  Since I upgraded to Workbench 2.1, Snap
appears to work perfectly!!  I'm using Snap 1.62 on a 68030 Amiga.

	Under 2.04, Snap would sometimes incorrectly copy the text, so a
word like "Hello" would paste as "HHHHe" or something like that.  This
problem seems to have disappeared completely under 2.1.

	Yay!! :-)

	Followups are to c.s.a.applications.

I installed 2.1 on my machine last night.  I twiddled a couple knobs and

boot up with a 620 X 400 interlaced Workbench but now it's stuck in 620 X 200,

Actually, I like the OpenWindows mechanism:

	Click on the border, anywhere, and the window comes to the front.
	Click and drag on any side of the window, and the window moves.
	Click and drag on any corner of the window, and the window resizes.

The only thing I miss from the Amiga is an easy way to send a window to the
back. You have to pull down a menu from the border and select "Back".

Perhaps.  In magazines that have a genuine interest in honest reporting, it
usually DOES work.  A _good_ example would be Consumer Reports; this magazine
will print, verbatim, letters from 'slighted' manufacturers in many cases, or
at least print a correction.  OK, not as good as getting the spotlight in
the showcase issue, but what is, eh?

Only really big flaw I find in this is IF there are Amiga owners out there
hot enough to drop thier sub over this issue, I think they would already have
seen this issue and decided on thier own what to do.  Those of us who do NOT
subscribe (or even read) said magazine will carry significantly less wieght,
I would think.

This all very neatly ducks the issue, though:  Commodore is RE-active rather
than PRO-active in thier handling of things like this.  When it becomes time
for damage control, the PR folks have already failed.

I'd feel very differently about this IF New Media had covered the Amiga and
flubbed it -- but that's not the case.

Thermal shock is one thing that can cause problems.  Without going into
details (darned convenient, since I don't KNOW all the details), taking
an icy machine and warming it up relatively fast can cause circuits to
fail, solder joints to crack, and so on.

The practical aspect of all this is that your machine will work more
reliably if you leave it on all the time (maintaining a more or less
stable environment).  I've seen this work in practice for a radio shack
I used to manage (the rhubarb that erupted from a cold start was pretty
darned harrying).  On a more on-topic example, my 2500 has run continuously
for over 2 years now and has had NO hardware failures, period.  Your
mileage may vary, of course, but the empirical evidence is pretty convincing.

Try the menu setting Comm/Handshake, and set it to CTS/RTS (7 wire).  Of
course, you should be using a cable wired to do the handshaking...
