You're undeletable 3 I used to own an A500 computer with a GVP hard drive. One of my favourite games was Silent Service II, which was installed onto a geed drive partition by the programs Nen installer program. Atter about three months with my 4500, I eventually had the opportunity to e.ay a second hand Al200, which I duly of course. I then set about transfer- 'trig my programs on my A500's drive to vas Al200's internal IDE drive using 3uatterbach, I have now finished Silent Service II and tried to delete it from my hard drive. rave managed to delete all the files in rre Silent Service II drawer but when ry to delete the drawer itself, I get the lirrOr message 'Icon in use.' I know a little about Workbench and AmigaDOS and realised that there was Probably an Assign statement in the 6seestartup or startup-sequence scripts. However, after browsing through these Two files with a fine toothcomb, I can't for tie life of me find any Assigns relating to frie game. How can I get rid of the damned Silent Service II icon? G. Whittaker, Sussex There are a few ways to create Assigns for Workbench, besides having them directly stated in the user-startup or startup. sequence scripts. One way is to have a completely separate script file containing the Assign statements which is called from either the user-startup or startup-sequence by an Execute command. See if you can find any Execute Commands and check the files they are calling. Also, another common method Is to have a file in the WBStartup drawer. Anything in here is automatically execuled when you boot Workbench, and your game may well have placed a file in there which is creating the Assigns. Personal plea There were several things I wanted to for my Amiga 1200. Unfortunately, wh was ready for the Personal Font Ma update, I was not able to obtain it as it no longer available. Perhaps there e someone who has il and no longer has any interest in it? Can you help? Mr F Fa'lune, Fife We failed to turn up a possible source I for you Mr Fortune, but there may be someone Out there who can help you. So, if you have the item in question and no longer require it, drop us a line and we'll put you in touch with Mr Fortune. IlMEI for another bout of problem ba5hing tourte5q of the eHtremelq helpful gills fidgE5 — Fast math have an unexpended Al200 •z. which is beginning to seem a little on the slow side since I started playing flight sims_ I am now looking to increase the speed at which my Al200 runs and until I can afford a 68030 accelerator board, I was wondering whether I can simply add a floating point unit (FPU) to my Al 200S insides to speed things up a little. Is there a simple FPU upgrade I can buy? I'm quite prepared to do a bit of soldering. Also, why are there no 68040 accelerators around for the Al200? J. Matthews. Gnmsby For a start, you need to upgrade your memory. Believe it or not, merely adding extra Fast RAM to your Al200 can significantly speed up some software, particularly flight sims. This is because Fast RAM is 32-bit memory independent of Chip RAM and can be accessed very quickly indeed. It's not possible to simply fit an FPU to your Amiga's insides. Currently, the only way to do so is via a memory upgrade board which features an FPU socket (of which there are many), or through installing a processor upgrade board such as the many 68030 products around. Be patient, save up your dosh and buy a 68030 upgrade board with FPU slot and 72-pin SIMM slots (preferably two or more). That way you will solve all your Al200's speed and memory problems in one go. There are no 68040 accelerators because there are problems in keeping these powerful chips cool, and in the extremely small confines of an Al200 there is no room to fit a CPU fan on the 68040. Another problem with fitting a 68040 is that it's big enough without • TECHNICAL AMIGA COMPUTING ADVICE SERVICE having a fan stuck on top of it. So, It's all down to a space and heat problem. I suppose it wouldn't be too much of a conceptual leap to figure that maybe an external 68040 upgrade board in some sort of casing with a lead connecting it to the Al200's upgrade slot is possible, but no one has done it yet — presumably due to the costs involved. I certainly wouldn't mind a big bad - 040 if any entrepreneurial i n boffin types are out mthere, y take heed, l i t t l e A l 2 0 0 , s Sim Mg co(liuo o 1 7 3 I and GVP 85Mb hard drive, which .
