I have placed this patch from Expansion Systems on wuarchive.wustl.edu in
/systems/amiga/incoming/patch there are two files scsidf21.lzh and a readme
file that I made up that says nothing.  The lzh contains a new SCSIdf.Handler
and a readme telling you where to put it.  The problem (according to the 
readme) was that the old handler was locking out all interupts while
writing to the disk.  The new handler has no problem doing 14.4k zmodem.

I have two of these 345 MB beasts and would be willing to part with
one for the person that can make/get me a controller for the
A4000/040.  It needn't be Zorro III or DMA...just a dumb controller that
allows read/write/format.

I bought a 1200 from Dixons that was (I think) in the first batch of amigas released( in this country anyway), having noticed the flickering on booting up   
WBench (On mine the mouse pointer also flickers twixt red and green until somthing is selected), I assumed it was just cos the TV i was using it on was nearing
the end of its natural life.  I then proceeded to buy a HD for my machine, 
thinking nothing would go wrong with it (by then I'd owned it approx 1 month).

	Today , when I booted workbench , i was greeted with a totally grey   
screen, and nothing I could do could restore the colour.  I think that the 
modulator has broken down, and I'll be sending it back to the company who I got the HD off for a repair soon.

	What is the point of this article, I hear you cry (if you havent already hit n). The fact is I think commodore rushed the 1200 out before it was ready.  Lots of people here seem to be having trouble with the graphics output on 
new 1200's all of which were early models (Mine came with a 600 powerpack!!!)

	Thoughts/ flames by E-Mail please

Subject: Strange problem with CSA Derringer...
Keywords: Derringer, Display weirdness
Organization: University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada

Date: Mon, 4 Jan 1993 22:46:41 GMT

Has anyone out there had a problem like the one I'm about to describe?

I installed a brand-spankin' new CSA Derringer this weekend.  Things went
pretty smoothly, and everything seems to be working fine, EXCEPT that I now
have a machine that acts very strange when displaying overscanned screens.

Here's an example.  If I run DPaint in overscan mode, approximately half the
screen is blank (the right half, to be precise).  By shifting the screen over,
either with the mouse by grabbing the title bar, or by hitting CTRL-Arrow key
to move the screen to the left, BING, the whole display returns.  Other
software exhibits the same problems, though I can work around most of them.

Other things of note:  I've adjusted/fooled around with the overscan settings,
to no avail.  Also, Broadcast Titler, which takes over the system and uses 
an overscanned screen, exhibits no probs whatsoever.  ADPro displays some 
wierdness in the form of a display mode showing up that never did before, 
namely SuperHiRes.  I do NOT have the ECS Denise installed, so I can't
figure this one out.

My configuration consists of the following:

A500 with 1MEG Agnus and 1MEG CHIP activated.
CSA Derringer with 25mhz 030 and 25mhz 881 and 4MEG 32bit RAM

WB2.04
Xetec Controller with 105meg Quantum SCSI drive.

Other than the above, the machine is stone cold stock :).  In other words,
I'm not much of a hardware hacker, and I haven't done anything 'funny' with
this machine in terms of hacking.

I'm going to contact CSA about this ASAP, but I thought someone out there might
have experienced the same thing already, and might have some suggestions.

CBM people: any ideas as to what's going on?

(BTW, the Xetec has been updated to current specs in order to work properly
with accelerators.)

Rambleramble,

Thanks in advance for any help,

Subject: 4000 will not RE-BOOT
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1993 10:21:06

    Hopefully there is someone out there who might have some knowledge to help
solve my problem.

I have recently received an A4000.  When I first received it I could cold or
warm boot normally.

After I replaced the ST3144A IDE Hard Drive with a ST3283A IDE Hard Drive the
4000 refuses to warm boot [Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga].  From cold boot it functions just
fine and is about 50% faster than the 3144A. It won't even allow me to warm
boot to a bootable floppy in DF0:

With the 3144A (original drive), a C-A-A would cause an audible slowdown of the
HD as it killed the system and then re-booted. This new drive 3283A does not
seem to change pitch when re-booted. The system does go away and leaves me with
a black screen.

Any suggestions or thoughts?
Please don't tell me not to hang the machine so as to avoid a re-boot.

Thanks......
Arnie

Well, forget about modems with CODECs... I think I have a solution to my
hardware problem. It occurred to me last night that the joystick port can
be used as a simple 4-line digital input... which would read in my DTMF
tones just fine. However, I still need another input to tell me when the
phone is ringing and an output to pick up/hang up the phone line. (I'm
interfacing the computer to someone's phone board). Can someone give me
a run-down on the parallel port and suggest possible ways of doing this
I/O? The probable target system will be an Amiga 1200. Are there any
(CHEAP) small digital I/O interfaces available? Once again, your help may
result in an Amiga being used in this product instead of an IBM, but it
has to be cheap and simple. E-mail if you want to correspond further on
this problem.

You only need to format the un-formatted tapes (duh :-)

You didn't mention which version of BTN you are using.  The problem you
describe is a known problem in BTN v2.0.  If you are using that version,
get BTN v2.1, which fixes it.  2.1 can be found on Fish disk 558 and
various online sources.

I don't know.  That's the card they were using.  I imagine other chipsets would
be possible with the right ivga.library (or some configuration facility, I don't
know how much alike SVGA register maps are once you start using "S" features,
VESA or no VESA).

I can't imagine it's too expensive, but I don't know the price.  That's one of
the things I'm planning to ask about, since lots of people seem interested.

>Would a Zorro-III specific configuration make a significant difference in
>performance? 

Not with an ISA-based display card.  You can, if you're lucky, drive ISA
somewhat faster than 8MHz, since most cards are simple and aren't
clocked.  If you had a VGA card that would run 0-wait states at 16MHz,
you might see some advantage in a Zorro III implementation.  Zorro III
would certainly be an option if they integrated the VGA chip into the
oMniBus card, since an EISA or local bus version of the video chip would
go much faster and really make Zorro III worthwhile.

Although I sent well-documented code to split the XT and AT-BB to Nic,
he managed to screw up resulting in SysInfo still not correctly detecting
XT or AT-BB.

But I think your problem is another one:
As Sysinfo reports the BB to reside at 0xff000000 whith is OUTSIDE the 
16MB-space ZorroII can address, my guess is you have already fully populated
the 8MB of autoconfig-space.

No in my machine they work(ed) fine together, but maybe it's populated with
8MB of RAM?

So my hint: remove at least 2MB of your RAM and it should work pretty well.

  I have heard several conflicting and confusing things about the 1200
  and I was wondering if someone could clear them up.

  I heard the 1200:
	
	comes with a socket/no socket (or pads) for a FPU.
	floppy model is shipping with no HD controler.
	has no internal clock.
	has pads on the board for a clock
	has a header for a clock
	has room on the back for a scsi D25
	cannot use 3.5inch ide harddrives externaly because the
		connector has the wrong number of pins.
	""	""	because the cable would be too long.
	has the HD controler as part of the custom chips.
	can use the same expansion cards as the CDTV
	Has the same trapdoor as the 500.

  I have heard these things from dealers, mailorder places  and clubmembers.
  Some questions I have are:

	Are the 8520's socketed or better protected than 500/2000?
	can the ram be expanded to the same as the 4k or do the ports
	limit the amount that can be accessed.
	Is there a way to add a second HD to the 1200hd?

  Any correct information would be welcome.      -R-

Hello, I'm attempting to store three Binary (8-Bit max) values to some sort
of static RAM.  I want to be able to re-read these values in order to dump
the values to a laptop machine via RS-232.  I thought of using a counter to
increment address values, and using an LM550 to control timing.

While I think the concept is sound, I don't have any experience with RAM
arrays.  I need about .5Megs to store my 8-bit values, so I thought using
a SIMM might be easier than developing my own array.

Could anyone please provide 1M SIMM pinouts and any other related info for
either the 1x8 or 1x9.  Speed is not a factor because the values are
stored every 10 seconds.

Also, if anyone with useful experience would like to recommend another method
I am willing to take ANY advice I can get.

The usage of an US modem in the german (Telekom) net is restricted by law.
Althoug it is possible when using an US-->GE adaptor (RJ11 to TAE6N), if
a power supply for the modem is available (220V, 50Hz transformer).
But: the Telekom would not like it cause it's not tested by BZT.

Oh yeah, how about this.  The A1200 cost $600 now.  I paid $850 for the

I knowm, I know there has been so much talk about monitors lately
that everyone is geting fed up with it now, and so did I. That was
before I decided that the 1084s was driving me throught the roof
and I needed something better. And since I ignored all those
articles about monitors I am very ignorant of the subject matter.

So here it goes, I can get an ex-demo NEC Multisync 5D from the
Uni here. I have an A2500 and NO flicker fixer. What I want to know
is if the 5D will sync down to 15kHz (so I can use it before I
can afford a C= flicker-fixer) and what will I need to do to be
able to use it? (Cabling, etc.)

And another two questions. 1) Will it be safe to sit this huge beast
on top of my A2500? 2) How much should I expect to pay for an ex-demo
Multisync 5D? (Either in A$ or US$)

Thanks heaps for any info.
