In the Jan/Feb issue of AmigaWorld, a letter mentioned a program called
Speedy3 which is supposed to speed up the Transformer. Does anyone know
how well this works and where I could find a copy of it? Another person
has attempted to get it off CompuServe, but hasn't been able to get a good
copy yet
Any BBS numbers, or if someone could send it to me, I'd really appreciate it.
One other question: Does anyone have any experiece with the Academy Computers
1 Meg RAM board? AmigaWorld indicates that it is available for less than
$399 (list) in kit form. It is supposed to be available now, auto-configs,
but does not pass the bus.

For what it's worth, Speedy3 is available on the JAUG BBS, (201) 750-4409. My understanding is that it is something that can be used on *any* MS-DOS machine, not just the Transformer, and it does something to speed up console I/O...

There is a very noticeable speed improvement in screen I/O when used with the Transformer. Joe Marlino in marketing has it and I believe he got it through CompuServe. ============================================================================== Phillip Lindsay - Commodore Business Machines - Amiga Technical Support UUCP: {ihnp4|seismo|caip}!cbmvax!phillip - Phone: (215) 431-9180 No warranty is implied or otherwise given in the form of suggestion or example.

But you should realize that the program, Speedy3.COM, is an IBM side program. Not an Amiga program in any way, shape, or form. It'll certainly speed up the transformer, but as I understand it it'll also speed up most any other PC, whether that PC happens to be a hard or soft PC. The program does something to the display software routine in the PC to speed up display. Anyway, you'll have to get this over on your PC-"DOS" disk and run it there. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Haynie {caip,ihnp4,allegra,seismo}!cbmvax!daveh Why look here for inspiration, when its all around you anyway. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Does anyone know >how well this works and where I could find a copy of it? Another person Please cancel this request. I found the program on the local PC BBS - by accident. I had mistakenly assumed that it was an Amiga program when it was really an MS-DOS program. Speedy3 speeds up writes to the screen. It does make a noticeable difference when used with the Transformer, if you're running a program that does a lot of writing to the screen. A side effect though, is that it seems to disable the ability to redirect stdout.

Anyone in the NH area looking for Speedy3, its downloadable from the Conference Room, 201-231-0704, along with some other Amiga software. The Sysop doesnt grant you DL access first call though, so be prepared to call at least twice. <MC>
