Siamese

[Darrin]

I have the Siamese 2.5 software, but I've lost my 4 page instruction manual :-(

I've never bothered connecting it via an ethernet connection, but I still use it via a serial cable to share my Amiga and PC drives... and it works very well.

I have also got the RTG function working too.  I was really impressed to retarget my humble AGA A1200 and ECS A3000 to a full 16 bit 1024x768 display via my PC even over a slow serial link.

If all else fails and I'm not going to be sued by Hi-Soft then perhaps I can help with the software.  Meanwhile, if anyone can scan and email me the paper manual then I'd appreciate it :-)

PS.  NewIcons will cause OS3.1 and lower to hang unless you remove the DefIcon command from the startup sequence.  I haven't had this problem with OS3.5 and I haven't tested it with OS3.9 as I refuse to by anything from those H&P crooks until they start paying Amiga Inc their fees.

But the Siamese software won't work without a parallel port dongle being installed on the PC side.

Ming is right, the later versions of v2.5 had all protection removed.  I bought mine directly from the makers of Siamese and it has no keycodes and no dongles - just two ordinary floppy disks (one for the Amiga and one for the PC).

What have they put on the CD version?  My "floppy" v2.5 comes on two floppy disks which contain the installs for the PC and Amiga plus some extra software like mode promotion, SCSI ID changer, etc.

I don't suppose they have the docs on the CD?  If they do, could you email me the docs files?

Cheers

Thanks mate, those docs are perfect.  Infact, they're better than the docs that came with my original "floppy" software.

I owe you one....
