Hello!
« on: January 20, 2006, 03:54:35 AM »
Greetings Everyone!

I am a new member but have been a visitor and lurker
on and off over the years.  This is actually my
second post, having chimed in to Wayne's note about
a lot of new members, but wondering how many were 'real'.
I'm really real! :-)

My name is Steve and I am from Massachusetts, USA.

While my 2nd post, it IS my first made logged in with
my A2000.  She had been off-line for some time, and
was always by dial-up before, but thanks to a new
X-Surf3 and Comcast (and a little trial and error
manually installing the X-Surf drivers and configuring
Genesis because the install script would not run).
Reading some old posts on the topic here was a big help.

Having the Amiga back on the net and with broadband
access has been something I was wanting to do for a
long while.

To give you an idea how long it had been off-line,
Amiga.org was my home page in Ibrowse and the
cached page was the old 'maroonish' color scheme
and the home page had the big SOftware Hut banner.
I am thinking that was May or June of 2001.  The
site still looks good in IBrowse today (thanks Wayne!).

My Amigas are:

This A2000 with a GVP/Tekmagic 060@50mhz card, Picasso II,
DKB SCSI, one of the HyperComms, and CD and CD-R.  This
is running OS3.9.

A stock A2500 030

An A500 with a Supra drive, some extra mem and clock card

A CDTV with mouse, keyboard, etc.

So, it is nice to be here.  Thanks to all for much good
reading and info in the past here.  I hope I can
return the favor to others while I am here.

  -Steve (ArcticSon)

Welcome to A.Org.  I also lurked for a long time before starting to post here (some may wish that I were still just a lurker).

Question: Why do you use a DKB SCSI controller card instead of the SCSI controller on the GVP TekMagic accelerator?  I have just revived my A2000 with the TekMagic 060/50mHz, but I am having trouble getting OS3.9 to access my CDROM.  I am searching for my AsimCDFS 3.9 disk to re-install.  Using the TekMagic SCSI tools, I can see the CDROM, just can't get any access to it from the OS.

How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

Hi, I'm the same; used to lurk, and learn.  There's a plethora of Amiga knowledge in available in this forum.  When I had an Amiga problem, I would search around the net, and most often the best info was on this forum (and actually there was info hear for all the problems I had encountered).  I only started posting later when I wanted to introduce a topic.

Good good study, day day up!

Welcome to A.Org!

I was a lurker too, before I finally decided to register. Agree with all the comments that it's good to see lots of new users!

Thanks all!

@amiduffer

I tried that transplant thing out to your way (well, sort
of, to SoCal) too.  It didn't take with me though.  My
'roots' were like a dandelion and they snapped me
right back here in a little  over 2 years.  :-)

@Amigadave

The DKB board preceded the 060 card into the system
and at first I was probably just more comfortable
sticking with the setup I knew.  I am glad I did
keep it though because now it gives me a place to
mount my hard drive and I use the external D-SUB 25 pin
SCSI connector in it for my NEC CD-ROM drive.  So
it was more convenience than any problem with the
Tekmagic's SCSI.

I do use the external SCSI connector on the Tekmagic
sometimes for running a Sony Spressa CD-writer.  It
does that very well.

It sounds like the ASIM reinstall is the cleanest bet for
your case.  I had ASIM CDFS 3.something on this system
before upgrading to 3.5 and 3.9 and just stuck with it
instead of configuring the new CD drivers and mount
tools in the 3.5/3.9.  ASIM still does the trick after
all this time!

Hello there.

Ooh , I wish I had a 68060 for my 2000. Hey I wish I had one for my A4000's too.  Yeah, my A2000 aka Amanda only has  A2620, A2058 (I think), and of course the lowly A2091 v4.1.

That's how I got her from the guy I bought her from. I then put the DPS Personal Animation Recorder DR-2150 and a VLab capture card in there.  Never did get around to doing much upgrading, cuze I'm broke
