I meant to ask this the other day; can one of the Fusion hardfiles
you're doing have a Netscape installation on it? It's too big to
download, y'see.

Nah, I'm reading my emails.  I've finished the mag already - it's not as if
I've anything better to do   :-)

What's the betting it's something that I've already bought?   ;-)

Any clues as to what this software is, or to the identity of the author?

You know how when The Phantom Menace was finally announced for May 17th in
the States and they released the first trailer for it? They renamed that
the "teaser". Nearer the time, they put another snippet of the film which
they called a "trailer". I think that that about sums up my policy
concerning the fantastic, brilliant, superb bit of software we've got on
our next CD. Of course, now I've hyped it up too much, just as Georgie boy
did with TPM, but there you go... :)
All the best,

Hi All

I've got an ICD AdSCSI 2000 Z2 board in my machine, but the icddisk.device
doesn't like my 040 (crashes when its called) except if I disable all caches.

Does anyone know if there's a version that works OK with 040? And where could I
get it? (I've tried ICD's site, and mailed them, but no reply as yet).

Also, if anyone has details of jumper settings, I'd appreciate it if they could
pass them on.

Thanks.

It's Ultra, not UltraWide. this uses a standard 50 pin connector (MicroD
for the external model).

The Blizzard card is terminated, the CyberStorm card isn't. The Yamaha
drive has switchable internal termination. If you want to know more,
you'll have to wait until someone publishes a review...

Well done the AF team for the latest issue to hit the shops, I thought
it was

excellently written and full of great articles. Well worth buying, even
if you

own Fusion already.



I think the new aesthetic (so called) limitations suit AF more than
these days

as well, it was looking a bit odd with the jewel box weighing down the
front.



Good one!

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.

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.

In my area WHS (the main distributor) don't deliver magazines to

preceeding.

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.  It should work just fine.

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).  Not to mention that AmFTP
has problems with some servers, for example, on U-Net it will upload a
single file and then stop.  The only way to continue uploading is to quit
the program, start it up again, connect again and start uploading again,
and so on for /every single file/...

Subject: [afb] More silly ideas from a newbie
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Having just read the latest on Amiga's website, I thought I'd subject
you all to my ideas for Amiga's future. 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.

Works fine on my OS3.5 Amiga. The version I have is the ftpmount
archive plus the ftpmount update (sorry, can't check version numbers
now). Using Miami 3.2b and the standard serial port.

It worked fine with my hypercom3+ before too, although that was before
I got os3.5.

Hi,

I'd be right in thinking that the OS3.5 CD doesn't have "warez" filenames,
wouldn't I? Like "DaNsK.InFo"? Using CacheCDFS. Never happened before (it is
an original CD) and hasn't happened to any of my other CDs either. And it's
an arse because my hard disk just broke, and I need to reinstall 3.1, then
3.5, and I can't with the current file names (each file also has an
unprintable character followed by the number '1' appended to it's warez
name).

DCE are the company you're thinking of.  The last I heard was the DCE
have a small limited production line, and they're only able to produce
one product at a time, in largish runs.  I'm sure Power have got loads
of back orders waiting, as usual - it's just a matter of waiting for
DCE to actually make the boards :(

Sorry I should have said which section. I saw the entry in Free ISP's but you
might also like to also include them in the Web Hosting section. 25mb of
webspace, cgi-bin as many pop3 addresses as you want, etc. The only thing you
need to do is buy your domain name somewhere else and get it transfered to
them. I have my website hosted with them and I'm very happy with the service.

Umm, why not get the people at Eidos to release something for the miggy?=20
Thene there's be something for the peopel at AF to actually write about,
something for the advertisers to advertise, something for us to buy, and

You've not been on this list for long, have you? Or at least, you've not
been reading it. AF have made a couple of cutbacks, perhaps you
hadn't noticed the Amiga scene isn't as big as it once was. Not sure
what the problem with the CD case is, do you *really* like the jewel
cases that much?

That's what AOL CDs are for.

Hiya Ben

I thought I'ld step out of the shadows for this one!

On 14-Feb-00 13:29:53, you said:


>Ha! Maybe a few hundred. BTW, from our current sales figures, afb members
>now form a statistically significant proportion of AF readers. 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.  And make sure
it's the final version!

Just my opinion,

Tom

Okay... nice to see the grand old Amiga tradition of fanaticism to the

It's one of those weird bugs that affects some people and not others.
It's a client-side thing, people with various ISPs reported the same
problem, but others on those ISPs had no trouble.

I don't think it matters what the size of the mag is. It's the most
dedicated Amiga mag around (IMHO).

If you subscribed to AF it would cost you a lot less - look at the

Which reminds me... what's this I hear about you slagging me off on
IRC?  Something about me "grassing on you" for pirating PSX games?

I'm not quite sure what you meant by this...  All I did was politely
inform you that discussion regarding pirating PSX games is not
welcome on the psxamiga list.  The only thing I "did" was to mark
your subscription so that I had to manually let your posts through -
I didn't want to stop you having your say, but I didn't want you
to spam the list with stuff about trading games, etc.  I notice
you unsubscribed on your own accord.

I don't see how you can call that "grassing" - you were the one
who posted a message on a public message forum (anybody could have
read your message), admitting that you owned illegal/pirate PSX
games.

I really don't know why I'm wasting my time writing this message - I
suppose I just don't like being accused for things I haven't done!

Yeah thanks for that one, I cringed when I saw it, but it was a mere
mis-pressed key rather than a mis-spelt word.
There is a distinction between the person who makes mistakes whilst

OK, I know I`m replying to my own message, but, as it`s probably already
been pointed out by now, I sort of totally cacked up spelling
"apostrophe".  Sorry, I was too busy wandering about the bloomin "`".

I`d just put my head on the pillow when... <strange wavely lines> the
word 'apostraphy' slowly appears on the screen </strange wavely lines>
Christ I didn`t really did I?  So I`ve just had to reboot (it`s a PC
too) to find that yep, I did. Doh.

Yep you do see that, but how many times do you see people posting

response (basically the same day, considering time-zones):

****
Hi,
enclosed you get our latest information sheet.
Release for AmiJoe1200 will be in the end of march 2000.
Regards
Sabine
****

It included a 2.2MB PDF file as an attachment, which I've saved a copy of
at:

<http://nexus.cs.mu.oz.au/amiga>

(The PDF file still says it'll be available Oct 1999)

The text of the PDF (because reading PDF can be a pain):



G3 Upgrade Card
met@box
amiJoe 1200


Up to 143 times faster
than your Amiga(TM) 1200
(Based upon Motorola
specifications at 333MHz)


About the amiJoe 1200...
========================

The amiJoe 1200 is the ideal accelerator
to push the Amiga(TM) 1200 into the age of the
PowerPC(TM).

Features of the amiJoe 1200...
==============================

Using the powerful processor PPC750 (G3),
the high speed backside cache and a pci bridge
the Amiga(TM) becomes a modern computer.
The included 68k emulation runs current
Amiga applications whereas native PPC programs
use the full performance of the PPC(TM).
RAM is upgradable to 512BM using standard
laptop PC66, PC100 or faster SO-DIMMs.

A real time clock (RTC) is included as well.

Upgradable Systems
==================

Amiga(TM) 1200 and Amiga(TM) 1200 Tower.

Expandability:

From what I've seen, Oliver wouldn't go around accusing people of that sort
of thing if he didn't have some sort of basis for his claims. Perhaps someone
called adam james did say those psx things, but it was a different one, or
something.

If it wasn't you, say so. No need to get in a bad mood about it.

Either way, Oliver is a moderator on here :)

The style is identical to yours. If it wasn't you, I'd recommend that you

Interesting... if the MC68K emulation really works, this might be the
way to go... but it would mean Id have to drop my plans of bying the
BVision gxf card. :(

The cards seem rather pricey, too - I could barely afford the cheapest
one if living with bread & water for several months. On the other hand,
selling my PPC card would partially cover it.

Now, if these fit into the BoXeR...

Yeah, I know, you have a PPC so you should be able to burn MP3s on the

something, then burn the converted files. Never fails.

    I can't read my own dock bar :-) well I can it says Amftp because I am
still using the NC Dock Bar but the program it launches is mftpII. 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.

    Should take 2 days from time of posting at most, if you had sent it
Registered Post, and it wasn't delivered by 12.30pm the next day you could

Unfortunately I would agree with what you are saying, but more likely
is that Amiga will state an x86 box for development.  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. :)

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. :)

I too am excited by Tao, and the development possibilities.  I would
even say I am more enthusiastic about Tao over QNX... :)

> The Amiga's future is looking rosier than it has for a long, long
time.

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..

All the best,

Nick.
