For the last 2 years, my A1000 has been chugging along nicely with a hard disk and extra memory from Tecmar. (Remember them?) Even though they're slow-footed orphans, I haven't had any complaints because they work pretty reliably. However, I'd sure like to take advantage of some of the neat new tricks in 1.3, e.g., FFS and bootable RAD: but I don't have much of an idea how to convert the software I have to make the hardware work with 1.3 So, has anybody taken the trouble to write new software for Tecmar hardware? If so, I sure would appreciate a copy of the new software, with instructions. If not, does anyone know whether it is possible (reasonable) to update it? (This was posted for a friend of mine; if you have a response for him, please send it to edwardz@qucdn.bitnet, or to the net, if you think it of sufficient interest.) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Think I'll stay in bed Rick Pim, Physics Department Dream all day Queen's University, Kingston World outside bugs me anyway. rick@qucdnast.bitnet

Here in Cleveland Ohio, our Amiga group CA-AUG, has roughly 50 members with Tecmar setups which we bought when they dropped the product line. There are a number of users with your question, and also lots of experience with repair work on the powersupply and hard disk problems. I don't have an answer for you, but I encourage you to keep track of this via our BBS at 216 581-2284 24 hours 1200/2400. We have some great techies here, and if any 1.3 upgrades can be done, we may have someone who is working on it, or will spot it available from somewhere. -- Robert L.
