If we guess correctly will you tell us? :) Since you're gushing over this software so much, I'd guess DOpus, if that wasn't still in development. So my next guess would be YAM ;) Then I'd say some kind of graphics software? DrawStudio? ArtEffect? I can't remember which of those are still being developed...

If you get stuck, Tony (I think) at Power Computing was very helpful when I was looking for some SCSI HDD cables. It'll be expensive, but you know for sure that it'll work. The others at Power didn't seem to have a clue though. > As well as cabling I am unsure about termination. The Blizzard manual > says that the card itself is terminated so only one other active > terminatior is required. However I have heard people say that the card > is not terminated. Which is the case ? What should I get / try. AFAIK the Blizzard is terminated, but the CyberstormPPC is not. My Blizzard 603e+ is working fine with a harddisk (built- in termination), and no other terminators, so the card itself is definitely terminated. Regards Sandy -- Sandy Brownlee OS3.5 & PPC Powered!

You're missing the whole point of scsi.device and atapi.device on A1200's, on Amiga's you *always* use SCSI commands. scsi.device then translates that into the proper IDE commands, or if using a SCSI based A4000, leaves them alone. atapi.device turns the commands into ATAPI commands, and vice versa.

If you'd read the thread, you'd see that he gave up AmFTP when he upgraded to NetConnect 3 (It gets replaced by mFTP II).

It's clear that Amiga must get a machine out soon, so here's my ideal developer machine: - Altivec G4 CPU - 128MB RAM - 6.4 GB hard drive - 32x CD-ROM drive (DVD option) - 18" flat-screen monitor :^) The problem comes with the graphics. The Amiga has always been the best graphics machine around. Do we want to throw away that heritage by just using any old PC gfx card? I don't. I say; put one of the new Bitboys gfx chips on the motherboard. This avoids any bus bandwidth problems and gives you one of the best graphics chips around. Of course, Tao's developer kit should be included. Tao are one of the most exciting and innovative companies in the computing world. It's very exciting that our favourite platform is aligning itself with such a high-profile partner and that this partner is obviously glad to be with us. In six to nine months' time, Amiga could have the next generation of fully Digital Integration compatible products on its hands. Think about it; a completely scalable RTOS with native Java. Home integration is easily achieved by using Jini to provide everything in the house with access to everything else. Want to have the kettle switch itself on five minutes from the end of that Zep CD? No problem. The Amiga's future is looking rosier than it has for a long, long time. ------------------------------ message 47165 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/afb/?start=47165 From: Errol Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2000 19:09:15 +0100 X-Mailing-List: afb@egroups.com Subject: [afb] Re: Guess what's on AF135?

Hopefully >that'll be enough of an incentive for you all to vote in the next poll... To be honest I don't do the polls not out of apathy but for two reasons: 1. Financial - I try to spend an absolute minimum of time online these days. I.e. connect once to collect mail. Write replies offline and connect again to send them. I do all the web browsing I need whilst my mail downloads. I.e. a quick check on amiga.org for the main news. 2. The times I have seen a poll that I thought I would enter, I've gone to the page and then found afterwards that someone has updated it and wants votes for the updated version as well. I've done this several times and I finally decided to give up. If there's ever a time that you want proper polls that you're actually going to take notice of then please say so in the email.

I really should change the label.........right done now it says mFTPII :-) I found that with Amftp if you tried to upload mre than one file it would do as you say, and I have been using mFTPII the same way out of habit so I don't know if it will upload more than one file at a time, but as I say I can't recall any problems. -- Don't Worry, Be Happy Sandy ------------------------------- E-Mail: sandy@birrell.prestel.co.uk http://www2.prestel.co.uk/birrell/ IRC: Sandyb in #Rabble uk3.arcnet.vapor.com Port:6667 http://www2.prestel.co.uk/birrell/Rabbled ICQ : 41266150 ------------------------------ message 47225 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/afb/?start=47225 From: Alexander Birrell Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2000 22:19:55 +0000 In-Reply-To: <888ma5$36co@eGroups.com> X-Mailing-List: afb@egroups.com Subject: [afb] Re: Sorry for being a little OT but I'm worried...

Hey, I also agree! :) I like the new, umm 'look' as well. :) Now as and when the Amiga scene picks up of more adverts appear in AF then perhaps we will see some more pages, perhaps... :) All the best, Nick. ------------------------------ message 47228 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/afb/?start=47228 Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 00:46:42 -0800 From: "Nick Lamburn" In-Reply-To: <889k0l$9qok@eGroups.com> X-Mailing-List: afb@egroups.com Subject: [afb] Re: More silly ideas from a newbie MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, Since when were Newbie ideas silly, I'm not a net veteran myself... :) > Having just read the latest on Amiga's website, I thought I'd subject > you all to my ideas for Amiga's future.

This is because: a) They are every cheap b) Easy to get hold of c) Tao's Elate runs on it, and their Java thingy which i cannot remember the name of Though c) applies to PPC, a) and b) don't really IMO. :) > The problem comes with the graphics.

Of course, Tao's > developer kit should be included. Here's another way I look at it; if you really like Custom chips, instead of soldering them to the computer; stick them on a PCI or Zorro whatever card so that they can be upgraded easily. Though the Amiga's spec. would have to have a decent sized BUS to start with; because we can't have a 32bit bus and a 32bit custom chip card and then decide to upgrade to 64BITs; otherwise we would immediately have a bottleneck; rather like AGA's 32->16Bit. :) > Tao are one of the most exciting and innovative companies in the > computing world.

I couldn't agree more; however there are two things that worry me: a) The dire lack of software, there may well be G4s and G3s, Power Flyer, IR, Gfx. Cards but what use are they without killer software? Or even just software. (I am a developer myself so I am really trying to boost the market...) b) Piracy. Nuff Said; stamp this out or crush it soon, or everything will be in vain..
