Amiga RAM Expansion by Comspec
------------------------------
AX1000 Amiga 1 MEG RAM Box $729.00(+$100 S&H) U.S.
$1035.00(+$25 S&H) Cdn
AX2000 Amiga 2 MEG RAM Box $899.00(+$100 S&H) U.S.
$1276.00(+$25 S&H) Cdn
--------------------------------------------------
The AX2000 adds 2 Megabytes of "FAST" RAM to the Amiga, allowing more tasks
AX2000 will go into the
to run in the system at once, or for a fast RAM-Drive. The
the expansion connector on the side of the Amiga and duplicates the connector
for other devices to plug into. Up to two RAM Boards can be pluged in to add 4 MEG of memory (limited by the Amiga's power supply.)
The box has "AUTO-CONFIG", so with Kickstart 1.2 the RAM will automatically be added to the system.
With Kickstart 1.0 and 1.1 you can use the program included with your AX2000 to add the memory. (You can use this program with your startup-sequence to automatically add the memory.
)
------------------------------------------------------
They will go on to say that they have set the AX2000 and AX1000 so that it will work with any new Kickstarts that may come
out. The Box is the same color as the Amiga
and fits to the side to make it look like it was part of the computer.
They also say that Transactor liked it so much that they are selling it.
The address to send for more info on this fine RAM board
that we all have been waiting for is:
Comspec Communications INC.
153 Bridgeland Avenue
Toronto, Ont.

Best of luck with your new found memory.

Especially when Cardco's 1Meg ram with Auto-config also, is $595, and will be sold through dealers. Paul Higginbottom Disclaimer: I do not work for Commodore and opinions expressed are my own.

RE:

(from Canada to US)
I think the editor of the Dtack Grounded Newsletter, now the Dtack Grounded
junkmail flyer, says he won't ship his company's products to Canada.
He claims that the bureaucratic red tape just doesn't make it worthwhile.
Presumably, going the reverse direction is also a pain.
