You MUST have EXACTLY two terminators, and they MUST be on the two ends of

Is anyone out there using a Direct Access Tape drive (usually a 3M
MCD-40) with the Ami-Back software???

I'm having problems with selective restores on multiple tape backup
sets.  Files on the first tape are restored fine.

During restores from
the second tape I get a `File (or directory) skipped - Header Error'
message.

Depending on what I've asked to restore Ami-Back will then ask me
to insert the third tape.  It seeks on it for awhile then tells
me that the tape isn't a Backup Tape.

One very wierd thing is that I can perform a full compare on the backup
set and I don't get any errors.

So is there anyone out there (with similar equipment) who can verify 
(or not verify)
my problem?

Thanks

 Just on a side note, if you look at the internal drive light on my A3000,
 it flashes (very mineutely (pardon my spelling)) but it does flash.  You
 can only see it if all the lights are out.  Flashes with
 each "click" when a disk is not inserted...

 The "click" and blink is rather stupid.  You'd think that they'd think
 up a better solution, like a button the disk hold in when you insert the
 disk, or a light and sensor combination.  Why the "click"?

Sorry, but the current flagship of the Amiga line, the A4000, most
certainly does include a clock.  Now, the A1200 does not include a
clock, but I would not consider it a flagship model.  "Cash-Cow" is
probably a more appropriate moniker.

Instead of whining about something which is not going to be changed,
why not try to see how much better the new machines are compared to
the previous models?  Really, adding a clock is a simple matter, so
buy one and be done with it.  Would you rather they left out the IDE
interface or the AGA chipset?

No. No problem with the frequency. In fact, all the first A1000's we got back

Well, huh, legally speaking there is a problem: If the modem is not FTZ

they can take his whole equipment (computer included) and throw him in
jail. Not that I know of a concrete case, and there are rumors that this
whole issue is now solved by the new European laws, but the threat is
there.

From the way things are going, the only machine to be imminently released between the
A1200 and A4000/040 will be the A4000/030. This makes the most sense in terms of
minimising design costs.

My good fellow, you've touched on a matter dear to me heart.

I'm quite sure that if you work for "AmigaWhirled",you DO get the best service
and support. I have spent over $4000 on GVP products and the only response I've
ever gotten from GVP tech support is "You need to upgrade your motherboard to
the latest rev.".

If you look at the advertising in "AmigaWhirled", it becomes obvious why they
think GVP is best. I dare say that the rag would cease to be without GVP's 
sizable investment.

In fact, since the massive GVP ad dollars started rolling in, I can't remember
seeing anything approaching a head to head comparison of say, ACCELERATORS. 

IMHO, GVP tech support SUCKS. When they start providing users with answers,when
 
they start acknowledging bugs instead of trying to sell you umpteen number of $
50
"upgrades", they MIGHT just win me back as a customer.

And to the folks at "AmigaWorld", how 'bout some articles of VALUE to your user
s?
How about comparing head to head, GVP, Progressive, IVS etc. products?
I can understand if you fear sanctions from GVP, but I hope you all realize you
'll
never be taken seriously as long as this relationship exists.

My 3 year old Mitsubishi EUM 1481 A allows switching of TTL, RGB or
Video-Input by using Pin 22,23,24 of the monitor-RGB-Port.
Using these pins you can easily switch between for instance
VCR-Video-Input or Amiga-RGB-Input. Very nice.
It's explained in the manual.

Organization: Curtin University of Technology
Date: Wed, 6 Jan 1993 04:43:52 GMT

Does the current revision of AGA chip set have a byte mode display format.
Sorry if this an old question.  Months ago, before AGA machines were generally
available, several post specs. indicated that AGA could operate in either bit
planed or byte mode.  I am currently experimenting with some graphics 
operation that would simplified if a byte mode was available.  I sure writers 
of PC emulates would love a byte mode to support VGA emulation simply.

If there is a byte mode it does currently show up in the display database, but
this proves nothing as modes like SUPER-HIRES (PAL or NTSC) wouldn't show up
if PAL/NTSC monitor types were not installed.  Therefore, if there is a byte
mode a new monitor type will be required to drive it (I Think, Therefore I'm
Probably Wrong).

Any clues?

Excuse me. But where did you get 3 HD Amiga floppy drives? Could you share
the name, address and phone number? You see, I have not been able to find
one, anywhere. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone know where I can get a 2 or 3 ft cable for the side slot on
my A500?  I need more desktop space so I want to stack my hard drive elsewhere.
I guess this is a 50/100 pin flat cable?

Thanks in Advance...
