| 827.1 | So Who's Done It? | DICKNS::MACDONALD | WA1OMM Listening 224.28 | Wed Oct 21 1987 16:00 | 6 |
| Sheeesh ... no less than 20 people downloaded EIGHT.ARC to chnage
their systems into 8 colors workbenches. BTW it only works with
A1000s. So, let's hear how it went. Anyone successful?
You know for sure that it works when ANYTIME pops up in eight color
mode on Workbench!

| 827.2 | what, me lazy? | LEDS::ACCIARDI | | Wed Oct 21 1987 16:08 | 4 |
| I got a little intimidated (read: lazy) when I saw all the associated
work I had to do to get it to work. Maybe this weekend when the
wife is sawing logs late at night...
|
| 827.3 | It's really easy !! | DDMAIL::ANDREWS | Just living a life of illusion | Wed Oct 21 1987 17:44 | 14 |
| I DID IT!!! It's not nearly as hard as I thought. All you have
to do is patch the kickstart disk. Then run the setcolor program.
The hardest part was remembering to take write protect off the
kickstart disk when I was patching it. ;-)
I found that the rest of the directions were for if you wanted to
change the icons you already have. Just copy the sample ones to
the root directory of your workbench disk, and open the disk.
I still have to find a way to change the icons that I use, and figure
out how to animate them.

Please pointer for it.

| Re: .5
The 8 color Workbench should use 48K vs 32K for a 4 color version.

ask your "system mangler" to update the decnet database for node
PAULY.

| PAULY has been around for almost 3 years ...
Do a DIR PAULY"AMIGA"::
|
| 827.10 | | AMULET::HALVERSON | This space intentionally filled in | Mon Oct 26 1987 14:00 | 5 |
| I ca do a dir of PAULY but when I go to copy something from there
I get a message that says invalid login info at remote note or
something to that effect. Could someone reply with the command
they use to get files from here? Maybe I am typing something in
error..
|
| 827.11 | Here's how I do it | HYSTER::DEARBORN | Trouvez Mieux | Mon Oct 26 1987 15:05 | 11 |
| copy pauly"amiga"::filename.ext filename.ext
^ ^ ^ ^
the name of the name you
the file want it to
you want give it on
from PAULY your system
That's all.

| 827.12 | I got it thanks.. | AMULET::HALVERSON | This space intentionally filled in | Wed Oct 28 1987 08:24 | 6 |
| Thanks for the info I was able to get the file. I was using a batch
copy file that which apparently did not like the pauly"amiga" node.
I then tried the plain copy command and it worked.
thanks again...Steve

Note:
The Amiga's custom graphic coprocessors are specially designed
to handle two-bitplane-deep screen refreshing 100% transparent
to the operation of the 68000. If you increase the number
of bitplanes displayed in any given Amiga screen, the Amiga
graphics engine will take slightly longer to refresh the
screen and thus will lock the 68000 off the buss during
time when it is able to use it.
But then again, just think of how the poor Atari ST owners
feel... :-)

| 827.14 | DISK SECTOR EDITOR PLEASE | POLAR::GOSLING | KANATA MFG I.S. | Fri Jan 08 1988 12:10 | 15 |

re: .4
I don't see any follow up to Phil's request for a disk sector
editor (perhaps he was answered by mail!?).
I would also like to try this out, but haven't a disk sector
editor at my disposal. I have looked through most of the "public"
directories, but couldn't find DISKX, or DISKED, or anything else
that resembled either of them.
HELP!

look for Sectorama on one of the more recent FISH or other public
domain disks. It might be in the Enet FISH directory by now.

| 827.16 | look for FF102 | LAUSAN::BLANC | Phil Lausanne-CH 8-JAN-1988 21:09 | Fri Jan 08 1988 15:16 | 4 |

| 827.18 | warm restart ---> kickstart... | LAUSAN::BLANC | Phil Lausanne-CH 8-JAN-1988 22:16 | Fri Jan 08 1988 16:26 | 8 |
| Using 8 colors is great but....
I have to reload kickstart each time I will to restart my machine,so
pressing ctrl-a-a ( or the infamous GURU) and then the kistart logo...
Is it correct or did I miss something ?
The loading of 8 colored kickstart is ok each time and I have the
8 colors....

| 827.19 | Update the checksum | DDMAIL::ANDREWS | How come nobody told *ME*? | Fri Jan 08 1988 17:49 | 7 |
| Phil,
You forgot to do the part where it says to update the checksum.
That's the reason you must start from scratch. It thinks Kickstart
is corrupted.

| 827.20 | block 247 AND 512 are modified... | LAUSAN::BLANC | Phil Lausanne-CH 9-JAN-1988 00:49 | Fri Jan 08 1988 18:54 | 6 |
| I did update the checksum wich is at block 512 if I remember.....
And without changing this block you wouldn't be able to load kickstart
either... Am I correct..???
This is as far I remember,I will check when at home....
