Hi Folks, I just got some money (~$600) and am looking to make some hardware purchases. What I don't wanna get: Video h/w: Cos I'm going back home to the land of PAL and (3's company clones? :-)) and unless it's switchable, it's useless! Harddrive: I have this strange feeling that no matter how big a drive I get, it won't be enuff! Ok now what I'm sure about: Memory: I have 1 meg/ all Chip, and am looking for either 2 or 4 meg. Which boards are good/recommended? I have a rev6.1 motherboard. Problems with the 8-Up! board? Any suggestions/comments are welcome. Audio Digitizers: AMAS vs FutureSound vs PerfectSound! Any preferences and explanations thereof are welcome. Is the new version of PerfectSound still ~$60? Any other hardware products that have been good investments please let me know. Printers/lightpens/vorecone/scanners(not the ~$1000 one!) etc........ Thanks very very very much/ Bin reply to bpj0@lehigh.bitnet bjames@lehi3b15.csee.lehigh.edu Signing off........

I can't say too much about memory boards, but you should know that if you buy a A2091-40, the 2091 controller comes with sockets for 2MB of RAM. > >Audio Digitizers: AMAS vs FutureSound vs PerfectSound!

The company does not answer its phone and I've never heard anything from them. You should make sure they exist before you buy. >Any other hardware products that have been good investments please let >me know.

About 44Meg on each cartridge. Sadly, it costs about twice as much as a normal 44Meg drive. Cartriges about $100. Stop on over 122 Evans and take a look. -- Darren
