- Ok I have a bunch of questions that I have compiled into one post
- Please feel free to answer one or more via E-mail or followup here goes:
-
- 1> I have WB 2.04 and the hard drive back-up utility that it comes with is
- strange. It first of all take s many disks to back-up on. My 40meg quantum
- has 36 megs used and this program took 46 disks. Here is another thing I put
- it in compression mode and it took more disks than normal mode 49 rather than
- 46. Also you can set the drives that you want to use. I have df0: and sf1
- oops df1: (disregard sf1). What happened was that it backed-up starting with
- disk 1 in df0: went to disk 2 in df1: then from then on only prompted for disks
- to be enteredt into df0: and totally ignored df1: why?
- Also can anyone recommend a better hard drive back-up utility for floppies? Is
- it worth it to buy Quarterback 5.0 or how is AMI-back? Anyone?
-
-
- 2> I am also in the market for an audio digitizer. 8 bit seems the only
- affordable way to go. Does anyone know how Perfect SOund compares with GVP DSS
- and Audition4 or AudioMasterIV? Also will prices for 16-bit (Sunrize
- industries Studio-16) be coming down? I have a friend who bought PAS-16 for
- his IBM for $219 16 bit audio in the IBM for less than the AMIGA!! A crime!!
-
-
- 3> Next: FTP sites for AMIGA software. I have seen many postings listing many
- different sites. Does anyone have any opinion on which site or two or three is
- the most comprehensive (has things like AMI-NET and Fish disks etc)? I don't
- feel like exploring 30 sites. Anyone??
-
-
- 4>Finally here and on comp.sys.amiga.advocacy I have heard all this
- hype/bashing about the A3000+ the A4000 and the A600 and the AAchipset. This
- has probably been discussed and explained before but would some kind soul
- please either post or E-mail me if you don't want to re-hash on the net,
- exactly what these machines (and chipset) are, when they are supposedly coming
- out - how much is hype how much is rumor, expected prices, compatibility with
- existing machines etc. Especially because I am thinking of upgrading to an
- AMIGA 3000 - is it worth it/realistic/affordable to wwaIT FOR AN amiga 3000+ OR
- amiga 4000 - what is the deal?
-
-
- To all who reply thanks - I'm trying to catch-up so I can be more aware and
- hopefully contribute some interesting ideas. Again thanks in advance.
