[comp.sys.amiga] Transformer: summary of responses

dedina@cup.portal.com (Michael J Dedina) (11/19/88)

I received very few responses (1) to my questions on Usenet concerning
the Transformer.  Strangely, though, I received more responses
when I posted a similar question to the IBM internal
network (yes, IBM has an Amiga forum, and yes, I work for IBM).  Here is a
summary:

1) Its slow.
2) I works only with text graphics.
3) One person said it can access the serial port but not the parallel port,
   and another person said just the opposite.  Can anyone clear this up?
4) Commodore doesn't sell it anymore.
5) There is a patch to make it run under 1.2 and/or there is a 1.2 version
   of the Transformer.  This patched/updated version runs fine on the A500.
6) Its real slow.
7) But it does work.

I know the Transformer is probably an old topic here, but I was really
shocked and appalled to get more help from IBM employees than Usenet
people.
