My friend recently purchased a 500 system <much like mine> but when he turns it
on, occasianally a purple color will show, then grey then white. I remember
reading about different colors meaning different things and unless its a shade
of grey its not normal/good. This doesnt happen under a warm reboot, only cold
ones and as I said doesnt usually occur. any help?

When I asked Dave Haynie (the a2000 god) ...he said that sometimes in certain computers, the video warms up faster than the rest of the machine causing the purple effect. ie: NOTHING TO WORRY 'BOUT.

I'm currently in the process of moving over and hopefully improving) our old archive. There are a number of improvements in the new archive, at least for myself, as the manager of it, and also its patrons. Eventually I hope to get a modified fred fish collection up (modified in the sense that I'll try an remove versions of contributions that have been superceded by updates on later disks, and I've lharc-ed everything). Feel free to to use the site in the meantime. I recommend the index if you are looking for something in particular. I'll repost a quick note for an "official" announcement once I'm done setting everything up. -baron -- // uhunix amiga archive | amiga@uhunix.uhcc.hawaii.edu | ftp: ftp.hawaii.edu \X/ "just another peon" | baron@uhunix.uhcc.hawaii.edu | 128.171.7.7
