That's because you have put *all* of the images within *one* table cell.
I'm on about when you put *one* image in *one* table cell.

Besides, I did forget about something, using WIDTH and HEIGHT in table
cells won't always work. It's the way you lay out your code that can
cause problems, e.g.;

 <TR>
  <TD>
   <IMG SRCe"piccy.jpg">
  </TD>
 </TR>

Will cause the gaps in NN and Aweb, etc. But, by laying out in the
following way, won't;

 <TR>
  <TD><IMG SRC="piccy.jpg"></TD>
 </TR>

To see what I mean, take a look at the following page's source using NN
(4.7 here) or Aweb: http://www.wharne.u-net.com/swag/test.htm to see
what I mean.

Try to find out how much video-memory it has, i believe the old IMac's

If so maybe you have to upgrade it.

MagicTV2 has been a saviour in this time of waiting for a BVIsion.
WBCtrl and RaWBInfo are good, and FBlit is another must for non- gfx card
owners.

    Going by the amount of mail I read with questions about it I would say
yes, but it would need to be a more advanced tutorial than usual. It would
seem more and more people want to understand the innards of their software
rather than tickle the surface, but then this is academic as you will have
the final say in what goes in the mag. :-)

Well, you could do as I do and put the PPC library emulation call just
before SetPatch without the Reboot argument, so that you set up both
3.5 and PPC libemu in one reset on the first bootup.

Hiya,

Sorry, I missed the beginning of your thread, by the time I picked it up it
did not provide the answers I needed, so I asked my own question and got my
own answer. Surely that is what we are here for?

I don't want to start another 3 week pointless argument, so can we just
leave this? I got my answer, you got yours, who cares if both threads were
similar?

You don't necessarily want to use RJ 45 (I don't) - 10Base2 is easier to
manage if you have a large number of machines in a single room and avoids
the need for a hub. You can generally get around the CC_RESET problem by
pulling out and reinserting the card, although this is obviously harder if
it's inside a tower...

On the boot-up screen (the one with the rotating CDTV logo and the
CD) press either A or B on the remote. It'll enter the preferences screen
- simply highlight the clock and date sections with the directional pad
and type in the new details on the numberic pad on the remote. Press B to
quit out and the clock will remain set until the power is unplugged
(switching the machine off is fine).

The A570 (CD addon for the A500) was called the A690 up until the A300 was
redesginated the A600. I think the A1200 was sold in some places as the
A1500 (the A1500 sold in the UK was a rebadged A2000 specific to the UK -
I don't think it was sold anywhere else like that, although I could be
wrong) and the A3000T was called the A3500 during development. That's all
I can think of off-hand...

This is correct. A line feed is considered white space in the HTML spec

I already have a hub as all my PC network cards are RJ-45, I agree 10Base2
is simpler, but my machines are spread around the house and it gets a bit
fiddlier then. With RJ-45 I can run the cable through the walls and have
sockets in each room.

I started off with 10Base2, but as the network spread out it became less
practical.

UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair?) is the cable, RJ-45 is the connector
(overgrown phone plug)on the end.

I don't know where you shop, but if you're paying 80 quid for a hard
drive you should be expecting about 8GB for your money. Can you
even buy 2GB hard drives anymore? :)

You don't need to have a net connection to take part in RC5 on it.
Just download the blocks using a machine that *is* connected, and

You speed demon you. Mine takes 55 seconds for the workbench screen to
begin appearing.

If I'm interpreting the various screen flashes and floppy drive checks
correctly, it seems to be taking 15 seconds for each series of SCSI
device checks.

After that, there's about 10 seconds to actually run the startup
sequence etc, ending with Workbench.

How have you managed to get a 5 second startup!  My hard drive sounds
like it takes almost that long to spin up.

David

Easy. Mozilla says it'll be 100% compliant, but it fails quite a few
compliance tests. Opera is supposed to be working towards 100% compliance,
too, but it doesn't.

But IE5 really trounces them by being 100% STANDARDS compliant, and
also 100% compliant with Microsoft's extensions *too*.

200% compliant, then :)

QSSL's "latest whim" is how it looks full stop. It never ever

practically MONTHS before we ever saw it. In fact, I seem to
beleive that Ben had seen the shot about 6 months before at a

As long as you have nothing that accesses the PCMCIA slot and nothing that
accesses the IDE interface such as IDEFix then in theory you should be able
to just plug in and go.  That's what I did!

The thing to watch out for is the 040 in the A4k (I presume it has an 040
in it) - if the A1200 doesn't have one, make sure you've got a copy of
68040.library in libs: on teh A1200 before you do plug into the A4k.  Oh
and anything like gfx card software or PPC datatypes might cause problems ...

I think you'll find it's the OTHER conflicting patches, and
the lack of proper configuration makes your Amiga unstable.

I'm sure if you culled a few of the hacks MCP decides you
need, as per the docs, and changed the patch orders (and
installed SetMan or TRSaferPatches) it'd work fine.

It works fine on my machine, which is - as usual - solid
as a rock.

Hmm, I've often been of the opinion that authors would get more money
that way for some things, especially software that isn't of mass appeal.

That rather depends on whether you interpret copyright as duplicating
for the sake of keeping a copy, and for the sake of depriving a person
of earning something for their work.

Watching TV is copying a signal onto your CRT, but that's not a breach
of copyright.  Viewing a web site temporarily makes a cache copy, that's
how the technology works, it's unavoidable.  What about remembering the
contents of a book?

People seem to forget that the purpose copyright is to protect
intellectual property from someone else profiteering at your expense,
not to just blanket ban the copying of things for the sake of it.

I'm not surprised.  This controller also has another really annoying
problem.  It won't let the drive go to sleep.  The controller
continually polls the SCSI bus (I suppose that's there way of doing
diskchange handling for CD-ROMs), but it wakes up the Zip drive.  So
disks (and the drive) will wear out a hell of a lot quicker.

Nope.  This is MS we're talking about, they practically made bloatware the
industry standard.  The fact that they tried to create a shared library
system and failed miserably might have something to do with it...and they
have to keep adding to it.  To change it would pretty much make every
existing Windows program incompatible.

Gods I hate NTFS...in fact, I just hate NT full stop.  The NT machine in
work hasn't had anything done to it in about 3 months (it acts as a web -
using IIS4 - and RealAudio server) except for the obligatory reboot once a
week...and it still appears to have completely buggered several things up
all by itself.  For example, the Java VM has stopped working for no
apparent reason, it refuses to play Shockwave files, the IIS Manager
refuses to work claiming it doesn't have access (yet the HTML version works
perfectly), one of the hard-disk partitions has write protected itself from
FTP access, it has on occasion "lost" the administrators password...need I
go on? :)

The PPC version currently stands at 131 preorders (updated tuesday).

Does anyone have definative information as to what is happening with

use my Amiga as all programs I have are optimised for either 060 or
PPC. :( I have to make do with this stupid win98 laptop. Not to mention
the fact that I can't use my 64Mb of fast ram as it is all in the form
of SIMMs on the accelerator.

I would appreciate it very much (as I'm sure would all Amiga Format
readers in the same boat) if someone with some clout (hint hint, Ben
Vost) or even someone over there in Europe (hint hint, etc) could let
us know what is happening.

I'm sure most people on this list would not want to go through the pain
of dealing with Windows programs (at least someone could try doing a
decent IRC program for this box). :(

It is only the closing bracket that makes the difference - either

 <TD>
  <A...</A></TD>

or

 <TD>
  <A...</A><BR>
 </TD>

work with no gaps.  Without thinking (I must have encountered this a

Alex, you're in Greece, and nobody else is. Stuff just
isn't as cheap over here because it costs more to
import.

I'd be perfectly happy to pay =A350 for a 4.3Gb drive,
'cos that's how much I can find them for QUICKLY. I'm
sure I could find a 6Gb drive for the same, but who
cares? What do I do with that extra 2Gb? Nothing.

It just goes to waste, and the drive will die before
I ever get enough data to store on it. This isn't a
PC, it's an Amiga, and they don't take up much space

(so says I, owning a 4.3Gb drive with only 600Mb of
data on it)

If the drive is a small drive (2.5") that fits inside the A1200 then
you will need an IDE adaptor from Eyetech for it to work on the A4000.

I found it QUICKLY too i don't need to search to
find a cheap HD.I can get them from anywhere.
OK the main reason for this BIG difference in price is
the import cost as you mentioned.But if I were you I
would order my HD from another country.

I own a 2.5Gb hd and I've got only 100mb free.
almost the 1gb of the data in it is downloads.And
I want to install Linux APUS,MacOS,and PCX.
I deleted those due to space reasons

You`ve obviously never tried filling it with mp3s or wavs!

2.1Gb, 3/4 full.  My workbench, 3.5, net particians are half full, my
games and work ones almost completley full.  So unless I use a hell of
a lot of zip disks, make backups and then reformat Im up the preverbial
creek without a holographic paddle.   Or i tag another hd onto
thesystem - but that means i have to drop the second cd drive from the
chain. Dammit. I want more than 4 ide drives!!

Don't be stupid, that's cost more than buying it from
THIS country.

Hmm.. OS3.5 install is 20Mb, my Workbench partition is
still only 45Mb with loads of truetype fonts installed,
I have 450Mb of data backed up from my old hard drive,
and a the rest is networking apps, source code, StormC
and PPaint, plus a few others.

I download quite a bit of stuff, but I purge it once
a week (list all files before Saturday to t:del.tmp lformat "delete =
%n")
so it keeps down.

I guess you just have to care..

Easy peasy: go and buy CyberGraphX 4 on CD, and
install the latest 4.2prerelease update. You'll
get a much faster, more stable system out of it
and Warp3D applications will run flawlessly..

Hi matt,

personally I have a "Download" Dir (Assigned) that EVERYTHING I
download, doesnt matter if I know i want to keep it or not, goes into.
This, as you do with your set-up, gets "purged" every now and again
(usually when there`s too amny icons to fit in the half-screen window!).

But your right (wow!), you do need to keep things to a minimum,
otherwise you end up with just soooo much c*** its unbelievable.  :(

TTFN :)

Busyland is closer to the amiga-c mailing list (and Voyager one ;)
than it is to AFB. The noise-to-signal is better over there, too.

Did you ever put a book on the mouse button,and leave it running into a wall

Hired guns was/is much better,though,cause you can play a kind of deathmatch

Hello again

 Yesterday I tried to backup my smaller partitions using Make CD onto
my nice
shiny new CDR but ive hit a few problems.

 1. I cant write from a ISO image. The buffer fills and the CDR starts
writting everything is fine for a few minutes then the buffer zipps
empty and
make cd yells at me.

 2. I can write direct from my IDE HD but although the 20MB buffer
never drops
below ~ 98% full it will only write at 1X. I have set MakeCD to write
as fast
as possible however it keeps doing this.

 3. Im having problems with mounting the drive through
Blizzardpcc.device. In
the boards BIOS I set the scsi unit 3 (This is the one with the device
on) to
mount as a cd with device name CDW and set the data mode as synchronous.
However it keeps defaulting to a CR0 and 40 buffers no matter how i
change the
settings.

Annoyed

It died, it died.. but you have the infinitely superior
