Received newest Jameco catalog, few items of interest to Amiga owners. Genuine Commodore RF modulator kit - will allow Amiga to be hooked up to television (even passes sound - works on A1000, not sure of others) I think originally CBM was selling these for about $70, Jameco is selling them for $3.95 - nice if you do not want to buy 2 monitors, but want to drag the machine around. Another item of interest is a Macintosh drive that I know for a fact will work with the AMAX software/hardware. They are selling it for $189 (dumb me forgot catalog and cannot remember name, I think it is Tall Technologies, Inc or something like that), anyway, this is much cheaper than I have seen MAC drives. Friend has same drive on his AMAX and it works flawlessly. Jamecos ads can also be found in other computer mags, (ie Computer SHopper) their phone number is (415) 592-8097 DISCLAIMER - I am in no way associated with Jameco, but I have purchased the RF modulator and have seen the MAC drive in action and IMHO I thought they have good prices on some equipment that may be of use to others, so there ;-).

Gee, that RF modulator which allowed the Amiga to display 80 columns on a standard NTSC TV set, eh? That's quite a bargain at $3.95!

It works fine with my A-Max also, though I have seen a report or two that some people had to make some simple mods to their A-Max to get it to work. The instructions for the mod came from Ready-Soft -- the A-Max manufacturer. I am not certain whether it was an older Cutting Edge drive or not.
