Subject: LW4.0 Amiga and CyberGraphics, also Shapeshifter Rawks!
X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas
Status: RO
X-Status:
LW4.0 Rev. A for Amiga arrived. If you're using CyberGraphics
and NewMode set NewMode Options for LW and Modeler to compare
Program Name and Screen Data. Otherwise Layout crashes when it
attempts to draw to the 16 color render preview (which NewMode
will promote to CGFX). Modeler finally runs in better than NTSC
resolution, hooray!
Totally Off*ckin Topic: ShapeShifter is running nicely on my
3000T/3.1/Warp40/CV64. Easily as fast as a Quadra 840, in fact
it boots faster than _any_ Mac or PMac I've seen, and this is
with the unregistered version and "filedisks" on an Amiga drive.
Hint: put SS and your filedisks on their own partition and pump
the partition's File System block size to 4096 or better. It
installed and booted System7.5.1 with absolutely no problems,
even MacTCP on my Hydra enet card works (although I can't get it
to use a _second_ Hydra while AmiTCP is running, any help?). My
$40 (Yow! Cheap Mac!) is on it's way to Germany, thanks
Christian.
So this has been a good week for my Amiga, again proving it's
far from a worthless pile of sand and old hype.
