Please, if you actually receive this message, respond and let me know. This is a FIDO node and I thought I'd try from here instead of logging onto the mainframes.... don't know if I can really send mail this way. Actually, I have a friend in Vancouver and another in Burnaby, so worst case I could always send the money to them and they could make the purchase, or you could send the system to you relatives here and I could make the purchase from them. A couple of questions: Is the hardfram controller fast? Will the RAM board be any benefit if I add a 2630 card, or would I have to buy a 32 bit RAM card? (Never actually seen a 2630 card, so excuse the ignorance..) I've got a couple of HDs and my 2080 monitor, so all I really need is a bar (bare) 2000 and an HD controller. Does yours autoboot, and do you have 1.3 ROMS? From the large number of responses I've had so far, I think about $1000 Cdn for a bare 2000 (plus $100 for Super Fat Agnus if present) plus whatever peripherals seems to be about average. I got a listing of the Canadian educational discounts (albeit in French!) and I think that is reasonable. I'm currently trying to sell my AT (only driven once...) since I don't think I'll get much out of my 500, but it's not a necessity. Let me know what you think, and give me some info/pricing on the controller and RAM. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- = plummerd@uregina.ca or plumme@hercules.uregina.ca (BITNET) = =---------------------------------------------------------------------= = Amiga__ If I had any good | Make it possible for programmer's to = = __ /// opinions, I'd sell | write code in English and you'll soon = = \\\/// them, not give them | discover that programmers cannot = = \XX/ away here for free! | write in English. = ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- David Plummer - via FidoNet node 1:140/22 UUCP: ...!herald!weyr!70!David.Plummer Domain: David.Plummer@f70.n140.z1.FIDONET.ORG Standard Disclaimers Apply...
