I use Artpro for doing all thart sort of thing. Its a great little
program
(which I really must register...) that will either expand/shrink it by
percentage
or allow you to input the pixel size manually. should be available on
aminet or
the cds somewhere.
Its also good for view pictures on the fly when you dont have enough
memory.
The program itself uses very little memory, you can choose the amount
of colours
and display mode and it loads in all of 5 seconds!
Hope this helps,
Bifford the Youngest.

The 3.1 ROMS do, that's the A500/600/2000 series one (40.63 iirc).
There were three kickstarts in A600s:
37.299 - Kickstart 2.04 more commonly known as 37.175
37.300 - IDE Support 2.04 /2.05 release
37.350 - Only with 2.1 based A600s
Why would you loose 512K RAM?? The 2.x ROMs are 512Kb and the 3.x ROMs
are 512kb (apart from CD32 3.1); the 1.x ROMs are 256Kb.
All the best,
Nick.

Hi All,
I've bought a second hand A4000, which is nice, but DF0 is a DD drive not
HD, does anybody know where I can get a HD DF0. I have tried Micronik, but
after an initial "ya we can get one" I have just received a mail saying they
are no longer in the Amiga market, and wouldn't be getting any more after
all.
Any help would be appreciated.

Okay, everyone who has a subscription will obviously get the CD loose inside
the mag, inside the envelope it's delivered in... there's no need to go on

You mean cut out along where it says "All the best new software" ?
I've already but mine up, and had to trim it to just under the "more than
blah blah" bits and then just over the top of the AF134 logo and fusion
box. It fits (just) so are you suggesting we have to lose the info on how
many files are on the CD?? ;-)

"What are?" Do you mean just "Are"? No they aren't because we've had about
one a month. We haven't done a reader games bit in AF since our Christmas
issue but there's one in the issue we're doing now.

As I said I already cut that bit off and still had to trim off the top of
the case to get it to fit into the jewel case i had here ...

PS And what about the back of the case - do we really want to be cutting

Hi,
I guess the DD drive is the normal half height drive, unlike most A4Ks
Full height jobbies. I'm not sure if Power Computing's HD drive is
half height or not. IIRC; the Power drives aren't actually half speed
HD drives like Commodore's Chinnon drives; but standard PC HD floppy
drives with buffering electonics so slow the flow of data to half speed
which Paula can handle.
IMHO =A365 is very expensive and you'd be well advised to place an advert
on Amibench (http://www.amibench.org) looking for one; either the
taller or smaller types. Note the former are easier to get hold of and
much cheaper. I replaced my dead HD tall drive for =A312. :) Keep your
eyes peeled; otherwise take up Power's offer. Have you also thought
about a Catweazel Zorro? That's =A345 apx. and a HD PC drive is about =A35
from a lot of places! :) And it runs at full speed unlike the slower
HD access via Power's buffered and the HAlf speed Chinnon drives.
All the best,
Nick.

I'm gonna buy the damn thing (to go with an Apollo 4060, 128mb RAM,
ArtEffect 3 (at last)) and see what I can do. I always wanted to get into
DTP and following on from the make money with you miggy (how many of these
have we had now?), I'm gonna add another arrow to my thingy :)
btw Eeeek. My comment (which I noticed *everyone* on AFB ignored - obviously
too technical :) about nfs was in the mag. Thank Simon for sorting this out
- I was gonna use a Solaris NFS server anyway with the Amigas as clients.
Now, does anyone know of a TFTP server (not FTP) for the Amiga?

Probably, yes. However on an off note is the mythical MUI 4 in

We've done it here! It doesn't cut off the copyright message, just the
bottom of the box it's in. You aren't talking about putting it in the back
of the jewel case are you? I'm talking about replacing the "cover".

Well I have bought another hard disk now so there isn't a problem; and
as I have said; I have tossed this salvaged junk in my filing cabinet
(aka. Bin :). Indeed I could map the bad blocks out but the bad ones
would outweigh the good and that be not good! :) I would have a 10Mb
hard disk left from a 170Mb hard disk, not that handy eh! :) My guess
is that this hard disk had a few hard disk crashes; all it takes is a

Yeah, they fit fine in A1200s, as I used to run a 850Mb Seagate in my
old clamshell :) A1200 for many a year (that be four years iirc); but
now i have a tower and I am thouroughly enjoying every moment of having
much more space.
As for the A600 - I have found it impossible to close the case down
again; even with the top shielding removed! :) Besides, the 030/40
I'm getting for it this week or next at latest, will most certainly put
the 3.5" out of the question. Which is why i adapted an old external
floppy drive case into a 3.5" hard disk housing; until i buy a proper
job one from Eyetech. A spot of welding to encase it properly did the
job well! :) For now... :)
All the best,
Nick.

I wish to make some corrections to the article about me in the

I want redress!!
First of all I am not always late, just 95% of the time. but not
always. ;)
As to the schoolboy humour, that's my way of torturing the troops when
they fall out of line. There is no need to get physical when an awfull
joke does the trick!
for example...
Chinese dustman. "where your bin?"
House owner. "Oh! I've been to Tenerife"
Chinese Dustman. "No! No! Where your wheelie bin?"
House owner "Oh all right, I've been on the sunbed"
See, nothng wrong with that joke is there? ;)
BTW There is a photo of me on there, that way you can avoid me next
time.

If he's softkicking a 3.1 image, then it'll take up 512K of RAM.

oooh and me. I may not be on an IRC channel at that time; but I did
pop my head around 'the door' at about 1am on a Sunday once at
#trogsoft! :) The reason i was up then was trying for the love of God
to get ShapeShifter and and a new hard disk partition working. (the
boot filedisk was clapped-out!) Normally at the weekend and Friday I am
up till about 3am, trying to figure out why some algorithm isn't
working; so I have little time to spend on IRC... Well at night; in
the evenings I do have time though! :) Oooh and Sorry Neil for not
coming back last night - my Dad could have told me he was phoning his
mate of whom he spends an age waffling to. I'll be there tonight;
giving the phone bill some good exercise as usual... :)
All the best,
Nick.

Ahh sorry, didn't realise he was soft kicking 3.1. That's given me a
very good idea; i could copy my A500Plus's 3.1 ROM image and softkick
from that as well, giving my 2.1 based A600 3.1 :). The only clause
afaik, 3.5 needs the physical 3.1 ROM; not a kicked image...

Actually no, it's supposed to be rounded to the nearest hundred, must have

Hmm - is this just because of the ROMUpdates thing? If so, it ought to be
possible to hack the modules in that file into the 3.1 image given enough
time and energy...

I got the Prelude this morning, and it works fine with

to work with AHI. The supplied AmigaAMP doesn't play
anything, and SongPlayer either does nothing (with the
AHI from AF) or makes strange, distorted noises (with

Any ideas?

You can't just plug it into a standard Amiga parallel port. You either need
an EPP one (e.g., IOBlix), Blittersoft's adapter thingie, or a DIY adapter
(see http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/aminet/dirs/aminet/hard/hack/ppazip.lha).
Either of these options comes with the necessary drive software.

The original message said that because of various things, I guess mainly
because of a supplier not getting products to Ben in time for a review. That
combined with Future's wanting to save costs is why AF is smaller, although
the editorial content is said to be the same. [I say "said to be" because my
AF hasn't come yet, probably won't for another week.] Since the shrinkage
has resulted in an unbindable cover, it's now stapled. To cut costs further,
the CD is [thankfully, in my opinion] no longer in a jewel case.

I think a great bet for a sequencer would be OctaMED. You may be able to
find early versions available for free, but even the latest commercial
version is [in my opinion] dirt cheap. It's a great music program; I use it
on my A4000 and Yamaha PSR-230.

Echo "Marco 'dr Green' Goetzke, marcogoetzke@mailops.com"
Wait 15
If you examine the files YAMPatcher and PowerYAM, you will find out that
they are just renamed versions of Copy and Rename programs.
So all this "patch" seems to do is that it copies your YAM: dir to ram: and
replaces s:cedmacros with YAMPPCPatch.pch which is some sort of binary file.
Could this be the first macro virus for amiga?
AFAIK Yam doesn't have any y2k problems.

It was actually the last block of the memory (64k on C=64, 32k on the +4)

Nah; SYS 64738 reset. (SYS 64739, however, just plain froze the machine!)
I think there was a SYS 8192 or something; usually these games had some kind
of BASIC-based launcher.

The base icon for drawing lots of the glowicons used in 3.5 was a Final
Writer one. If you're getting it then you either don't have show colour
icons turned on in Workbench prefs, or you can't because you haven't got
your Kickstart patched to 3.5...

yup. a 4 colour png saved in ppaint, all 4 colours would be saved with their
exact values (not like a jpg) and the html code for the background is a
specific colour, so why would they be different? unless html works on 1-256
while ppaint is 0-255? maybe?

Fireteam 2000 has manual protection, mind you beats me why you'd want to play
it - it's dire. It's also included in the Worlds At War compilation with
World At War, Blitzkeig & White Death.
With KGB using JST/whdload installer takes out the copy protection.

You can turn off the automount, and have it mounted during the

MIME-Version: 1.0

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Hi all,
One other problem with OS3.5's icons is that they can only be copied,
snapshot and so on under OS3.5, so if you're using a mixture of 3.5 and 3.1
you should only manipulate icons under 3.5. That's the reason that some of
the icons in AFCD50 are only 4-colour.
All the best,

That's what I do with mine, you have to be very careful with that
cottonbud, but it saves you a few quid on a new drive. I've now done it

Hello all.
I need a quick reply.
I have been offered a Cannon BJ600 Colour printer, extra ink carts,

Is this printer any good? How old is it? I don't need it for photo

Probably. Grab RDPrep, read the RDB from the slow drive and save it out as
a mountlist. Then try mounting the drive from that.

the punchline is....
What is the MAX speed for this card without new rom and memory...?
Will new ROM increase speed?...
Will RAM on the board increase the transfere rate?...
Will the new ROM and the RAM together make it go fasteR?....
Notmal Scsi-2 speed on PC's is max 20MB/s
Should it not be about that fast on the miggys too using the same HD's?

How fast should I be able to go now with SCSI-2 ? (org ROM no mem)

The variable you're working with would be document.button.src, assuming
the image object is called button.
if (document.button.src == 'images/button2.gif') document.button.src = 'images/button1.gif';

Ok, once again...
Then there's Screaming.net/Localtel, who offer free calls, between 1
and 5 attempts needed to log in (usually only 1), VERY fast download

Yes, I wanted the back of the CD case in the back of the jewel case.
However, i've already done mine, and cut the front off the back before
starting, so couldn't comment.
Unless you want to send me another blank case to test it with? ;-)

The other category is people who have alreay played WO2097 to death on the
playstation (which I have).
I've got the requisite (sp?) hardware, but I don't have the money to buy
something just because it will 'support the amiga'. I haven't got a pirate
version either! I've got it for playstation though and have had for years.
I think it's great what Hyperion are doing and I'm dying to see the results
of the Heretic 2 port (and Sin, and Shogo etc). But WO2097, I'll give it a
miss. Sorry guys.

I don't any more=2E I'd been running lots of stuff, so rebooted and tried

Because I don't know of any programmer that has got something right first
time, and any programmer who think's all his code will work first-time on
any machine with any number of possible hardware configs, has a way too big
ego and shouldn't be allowed to program.

Yes, but if you call it an 070, then exec's tags are going to have a sligtly
strange value (come to think of it, I don't think you could actually put
070 in there, I think the PPC cards took up the last space) and any program
that checks for a specific processor (eg. 060) isn't going to work.

Hello all,
There have been some threads calling it a Bad board so:
What *exactly* are the errors on the Rev2b A1200's, I've been running
one for, errr, more years than I care to remember with no major
problems.
Current setup, '040 32Meg still in the original case and still running
OS 3.0.
Arran
