I tried Matt Dillion's TAPE handler and GNUtar to backup my Amiga 3000
hard disk to Exabyte 8200 (2.3GB 8mm) tape drive.  The tape drive light will
turn to inform me that it is writing data to the tape, then the SCSI bus
hungs up (hard disk light stays on).  Is there any updated version of TAPE
handler and backup software that will work fine with Exabyte 8200?

Yes, it's an IDE. BUT the built-in driver software pretends it's a SCSI.
This makes it easier for existing software like HDToolbox to work with
this drive.

No, it's actually based on Tripos. Anyway, Unix may be older than DOS but it

I can't help you with your problem, as I have a problem using
'makelink' myself.

It seems, that B.A.D. doesn't work with 'makelink'...  Are there any

	This is to anyone who knows recent stats:  I've been programming on
the Amiga for a long time -- commercial and PD.  I'd like to know about
how many 4000s and 1200s and AGA boards have been sold to date.  It
doesn't seem like that many (compared to how many 3000s were sold, this
long after the release date).

	I have a 3000 and will consider getting a 4k if I'm wrong about this.

Do you know what's the actual difference between an EC020 and an 020?? 
What do you mean by the 020 is good for development, but the ec020 isn't??
The only difference (aside from the physical appearence of the chip) is
that the ec020 has fewer address pins.  Now what does that mean? that mean
one can only access up to around 8MB of RAM on the 1200... doesn't sound
too horrible to me.  Maybe you need >8MB just to do your "development..."

Danish TV, and some station in the Netherlands are also using them for
TV entertainment programs. The vague wording 'some station in ...' means,
that I have little knowledge of the organization of broadcasting companies
in the netherlands.

So, curious: Is it used on any other TV in Europe, and, when/if not
an Amiga, do they use a known branch - which one?
 btw, in the above examples it is A3000's.

Organization: Utrecht University, Dept. of Computer Science

I got the distribution of dnet 2.10.13, and am currently trying
to use it with a 3-wire serial connection. (RxD, TxD and ground).
According to the docs of the earlier dnet 2.10, it should work,
providing you switched off looking for Carrier Detect. However,
it doesn't do anything. When starting DNet with dnet -X -m0 -h0,
and selecting 'start DNET' from the menu, it starts fterm and
then does nothing (I got another DNet running on the other side).
Both preferences are okay (19200, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stopbit,
Xon/Xoff), and the connection is okay (I can succesfully sned
MIDI data over this line). So, do I need to connect some other
lines of the serial as well? (Or connect them locally?)

Thanks,
Louis

This is NOT correct, ADD and SUB work on 32bit numbers, but DIV and MUL

the 68030 knows MUL.L.

Buddy, you got an 040.  If you don't believe me, try removing the heat-sink
and look at the chip yourself.  So far Commodore (in USA, at least) has
never sold an ec040 Amiga 4000.  The manual is wrong.

Before my point, I'll say that this is the wrong way to create a new
group.  New group proposals should be discussed publically in a forum
which includes most of the interested parties, then voted upon.  All
this should take place within notice of one of the news.* groups -- I
believe it's news.announce.newgroups.  I'm not sure of the precise
procedure, but it's well documented in news.answers.  (The reason for
this is that many sites will never pick up a new group unless it
passes through this procedure, and distribution will be heavily
limited.  Also, "toy" groups are spawned and destroyed every day, and
unless you can prove through the semi-official procedure that your
group is valid, it may be killed off before it ever gets a message.)

Now the main point: c.s.a.audio is not a problem group -- it doesn't
carry an abundance of extraneous material, nor too much traffic for
its topic.  There's no reason to create a new group explicitly for
mods or for Amiga music.  Further, some of us don't care as much about
music as about other audio topics, and loss of so many readers to a
music-only group would hurt both these people and those who might not
realize how interested in it they are.  Subpoint: if c.s.a.music, for
example, existed, all the mod-writers out there would start asking in
c.s.a.music for tips on sample work that are of interest to both
c.a.s.audio -and- c.s.a.music.  We'd either have to cross-post, which
would be silly, or read two newsgroups, which also would be silly.

That said, I would support the creation of a more generic mod-file
newgsroup such as comp.music.modules, so that we get IBM *tracker
stuff out of the Amiga hierarchy and mod stuff out of the
alt.binaries.sounds tree.  More importantly, mods are of interest to
people on most platforms, and shouldn't be limited to the Amiga
groups.  Such a group might not be very busy, since much of the detail
of mod creation, ripping, etc. is very machine-specific, but a lot of
people out there don't know where to find info on mods since it's
buried in a group that they only know has something to do with
computers and girlfriends. :)

I have used this package now for two or three weeks (it's time for registering 8) ).

Here some basic impressions:

- On my A4000 and on a friends A3000 it just flies. 
- Till now I never had any Problems with CompressDisk, and there was much
  traffic on the compressed disk !!!
- There were no enforcer-hits.
- I used ReOrg with CompressDisk and the compressed Disk is now much faster.
- 70MB disk-contents is reduced to 50MB (There are much executables on the disk)
- It is totally transparent in use.
- There is a problem with temporary files, because the place of deleted files is
  not cleared by the filesystem. 

I will try XPK, but I don't think it's better than CompressDisk...

>announce new mods, talk about music programs, etc.!  So what do you say?

	I don't think c.s.a.audio is too general.  In fact, it gets only
10-12 posts a day.  If Amiga users want to discuss music, then IMHO there's
plenty of room in c.s.a.audio for it.

	Why not try starting a conversation about Amiga music, crossposted
to c.s.a.misc and c.s.a.audio, with followups to c.s.a.audio?  See what
happens.

	Personally, I'd love to discuss more musical topics, since music is
one of my biggest interests.  But I don't have much to say about it with
regard to the Amiga, since (IMHO) its music software lags far behind that of
other computers.  There is still no decent pro-level notation package.
<Grumble.>  And I'm not particularly into the "techno" style of most mods.  I
used to run a mailing list for Music-X users, but the list faded out a few
years ago.

	Followups have been directed to c.s.a.audio.
