Anyone happen to have install floppies for Lasershow Designer 400 for the Amiga? What about knowledge of it?
(This is not the same as the Lasershow Designer 1000 program that was later released free.)
I finally got a sweet Amiga 2000 setup. Fished it off of craigslist. It started out pretty bad, it had living worms in the keyboard. Literally bug leftovers bubbling out between the keys. Battery acid damage on the mainboard, all that stuff. But... it was loaded. Really loaded. From the 030 accelerator to hand drawn video captured nude animations of pornographic Micky Mouse like character on the video playback system (!?). After totally rebuilding both keyboards, cleaning the mainboard (I hope I stopped the damage, but I don't know if it will continue to corrode) and buying / setting up a SCSI2SD board I have a working Amiga with a Zorro II slot.
Tonight was the night to finally get around to testing the QuadMod16. I brought this to SELEM 2017 but there wasn't hope as the floppies wouldn't read, my Amiga 600 was dead, Brad's A2500 was unstable from similar mainboard battery acid damage. Stars did not align.
Small moves Ellie, small moves.
I have a disk image dump of another system with LD400 installed, it was a system with Seaworld written on it but it looks like default install. Zero Shamoo. I copied the Pangolin LD400 files Seaworld system disk image over to my SD card, installed the QM16 and let it rip. After a few back and forth trips copying more libraries and stuff from the Seaworld image to mine, it finally proceeded to act like it was going to run. I do not have the QM16 cards from the Seaworld system.
It bombs out saying QuadMod16 is not found.
I am not an Amiga guy, I grew up a MS-DOS kid, then Unix. I followed Amiga an Atari ST at a distance.
I assume (but could be wrong) that the board is working, but the software is keyed to whatever the pair of QM16s were in the Seaworld Amiga.
My QM16 came with none other than original install disks, which have the serial number for my board printed on the labels (1354). So I assume the software is bound to the hardware by the inclusion of the board serial on the disk labels.
But the LD 400 Release 1.45 disks I have don't seem to read. The Amiga can read the workbench and demos and games I have laying around, but these disks while in GREAT physical condition could have been stored near a magnetic source like a speaker or sitting on a hard drive.
So kind of scratching my head. Going to poke at the configuration directory hoping something is specified in there.
Any one remember any of this stuff by any chance?
Anyone have a LD400 install or floppy set?
:-)
(Who knows in two years I might make it to the QM2000?)
(( Yes, I already own Beyond Advanced and 3 x FB3s, I have no idea why I'm screwing with this.))
