Hi, Someone's offered to sell me their Amiga 1000 system (color monitor, floppy
,1200b modem,512k ram, cable tuner) for $400.
Now, I know next to nothing about the Amiga, but I can't afford a Mac so
I figure I'll try finding out about it. So here's my questions:
1) Is this a good price?
2) How much can I get a 20-40 Meg hard drive for? $300 $700?
3) Does the Amiga use SCSI? Are there any Syquest drivers availible, so
I could use my work Syquest Mac drive with it?
4) Are there any cheap <$150 full featrued C systems?
(shell, source debug, inline ASM)
5) Are there any writing & drawing programs avilible which offer
MacWrite/MacWrite II & MacDraw/MacDraw II output formats?
6) Does the A1000 have a "bus expansion" port? is it direct to CPU pins?
7) Are there 680x style i/o ports on it?
8) How much does memory cost for it? (say to 1 or 2 meg)
Thanks for your trouble and time, and please,please respond via email,
not via posting..
Mike
