For me, downloading is not the problem, but sending data via parallel or serial is the biggie...sending to my HP IIP or to my room-mate's Mac Plus is near impossible...garbage in the x-mission... > > doug > dsk@ibm.com > > I have not had any problems with the serial routines with > my A3000....

I also tried it on my Amiga 1000 and it won't work either. On the 2000 it works for a while then bombs, on the 1000 it doesn't even begin to work (We used Zterm and some other program) -- John Sparks |D.I.S.K.

We got one of the first ones, we had it ordered before they had it released. Maybe you have a fixed version? Which terminal program are you using? Zterm will work sometimes and sometimes it won't. We set up a script file to send over several files with Zmodem from our unix machine and Zterm would start out fine then bomb after an arbitrary number of files came thru unscathed. Sometimes it would work on 5 files, sometimes only 2 files, but it would always crash. And the same results using different terminal programs and recieving the files by hand rather than running the script file. The script file was basically just a file on the unix machine that said: sz file1 sz file2 sz file3 ... This was running Amax II on a stock amiga 2000 with 2091 hard drive and 3 megs of memory. On my amiga 1000, Zterm wouldn't even talk to the modem at all. We want to call Readysoft but can't find their damn phone number in any of the documentation!!! -- John Sparks |D.I.S.K.

Note: The Computer Shoppe (the company I sometimes work for ;-) just recieved an update AMAXII diskette from readysoft which supposedly fixes bugs with: 1) Serial and Parallel Port Conflicts (are you getting random bits when printing out?? 2) 16 bit memory cards in a true 32 bit machine (i.e. A3000 with zorroII memory cards).
