Greetings, I have just finished installing the new fatter agnus inside my Amiga 2000, rev. 4.4 dealer upgraded to a 6.0 (or whatever is in the tech topics). The first time I tried my system the video would not work because it seems the sync signals were straying off of the norm. We replaced the Agnus with a new one and now that works fine. But my problem now is that I cannot write or modify any files on any of my hard dive partitions or boot off of RAD. I think it is something in my mountlist for my drives and RAD but I can't find out what it is. What other features will fatter agnus give me besides 1 meg of CHIP RAM and write-protected hard drives? :) My system contains/is/would like to remain 1- Amiga 2000 rev 6.0 (whatever) w/ A-2090 contected to a Miniscribe 8425F (ST-506) 20 MB Hard Drive. Micron 2 MB Ram Board. A-2088 Bridgeboard, EGA Card, AST 6 pak +, and a PLUS HardCard 20. This is my mountlist for my RAD: RES0: DH0: and DH1: Dh1: is a fastfile partition. <<<<<insert mountlist here >>>>>> RES0: Device = hddisk.device Unit = 1 Flags = 0 Surfaces = 4 BlocksPerTrack = 17 Reserved = 0 Interleave = 0 LowCyl = 0 ; HighCyl = 1 Buffers = 1 BufMemType = 0 # DH1: Device = hddisk.device Unit = 1 Flags = 0 Surfaces = 4 BlocksPerTrack = 17 Reserved = 2 Interleave = 0 LowCyl = 29 HighCyl = 611 Buffers = 20 Stacksize = 4000 GlobVec = 1 FileSystem = L:FastFileSystem DosType = 0x444F5301 # RAD: Device = ramdrive.device Unit = 0 Flags = 0 Mount = 1 Surfaces = 2 BlocksPerTrack = 11 Reserved = 2 Interleave = 0 LowCyl = 0 ; HighCyl = 5 Buffers = 5 BufMemType = 4 # Lastly, if anyone from INFO is on the net please pay close attention. ****SCORCHING RED-HOT PISSED-OFF ANGRY MAD AS HELL FLAME ON **** How dare you slander Amiga Repair Centers like that in your latest issue where 'Bryce's Amiga dies'. I have been working for an Amiga dealer in White Plains for 1 yr. repairing and upgrading many Amigas. The owner works seven days a week fixing machines and still is a devoted Amiga fanatic (aren't we all). I know that SOME repair centers suck, but to lay blame to all of them in one fell swoop is not only ignorant but a blatant attack on the few people who can help you when you need it. In our store, most Amigas are repaired within the week and our labor rates are reasonable. Yes, we do chip replacement and true servicing not board swapping. Now if you have had bad experiences with one service center then take it up with their commodore rep. (he/she can put more pressure on them, but don't maliscously attack all of us.) ***** FLAME OFF **** Thank you... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scott C.

They are quite proud of this. While they do have a tendency to print before they think, I somehow admire their candidness. Now, I have had their ... um ... talents used on me. I used to edit a magazine for the C64 and ran an article that refered to an IBM product. They called it a review and woundered why we would publish it. It's their style to be bold, opinionated, and sometimes not think things through before press time. That's Info you, and if you cannot accept that, then you shouldn't read the magazine. One more thing. I do not read the magazine anymore. >Thank you... >------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Scott C.
