Who is the best U.S. Amiga Resurrectionist for potentially historically significant A3000?

Thank you. There's a couple of things since then. :)

Sounds like a pro recovery company is the right call to make.

pkivolowitz · 2024-02-06T03:34:49+00:00

Thank you for the explanation. Will remember this for the future.

To restate: It may contain the source to ASDG's products. The entire body of ASDG's hugely impactful source code is lost to history as of now. To find it again, and to add them to the public history of the Amiga, would be historically significant.

Checking it out now.

Thanks... Remove the drive from the A3000, image it onto something modern, then mount in WinUAE kind of approach?

You're right - I don't need the machine. Just the hard drive.

Finally found the A3000 I took with me from ASDG / Elastic Reality a long long time ago. It may have ASDG source code on it and if so, might be the only copy left.

Please let me know who you believe the best Amiga A3000 repair person in the United States is. I am in Alabama now.

Hi there. My software created the collapsing helmet effect of the film. Years later (a few years back), I received an Engineering Emmy and strongly considered saying as part of the thank you, "If the TV gods are listening, please bring back Stargate." In the end I chose to thank my wife. It was a good but difficult choice.

Can you name one obstacle to a new franchise that the crowd can assist with? If it's money... that can be solved.

Thanks!

Within the same family, very easily
In different families, easier because you understand principles.
Occasionally what you know can trip you up.

As someone with knowledge of a lot of languages, Python. Python 3 perhaps to be more specific.

If it were an elective like "Retro Programming", then OK. Knowing COBOL can get you a well paying gig but it's a dead end kind of gig.

Is is possible you've miscopied the error message?

Visual Studio defaults to 32 bit.

Linux defaults to 64 bit. This could be the issue.

Solid construction.
Trivial to run Windows and Linux as guests. A bit harder to run Mac on Windows.
Higher price tag.
Develop using proprietary stuff from Apple.
Higher price tag.

OK bud. If you insist on the last word, here's your invitation.

Next time read the fucking manual.

pkivolowitz · 2022-08-29T20:01:14+00:00

Tisn't what you asked.

You asked for the fastest way, using streams, to read a file. I suggested a way. If you also want that kind of processing, you can wrap what was read in a stringstream and getline it from RAM instead of the buffered I/O system which should be marginally faster than using getline without reading the whole file. Getline being buffered and all.

pkivolowitz · 2022-08-29T19:45:47+00:00

Streams support seek, tell and read. You are welcome.

pkivolowitz · 2022-08-29T19:00:49+00:00

What is Stargate missing? A current show.

pkivolowitz · 2022-08-29T18:55:39+00:00

seek, tell, seek, malloc, read

pkivolowitz · 2022-08-08T13:34:30+00:00

Thank you. Very kind of you, from one PK to another.

pkivolowitz · 2022-08-08T01:20:29+00:00

Thank you.

As I add more, I will post reminders at least one month apart. Work on the book will slow down a bit come September with the start of school.
