Is Kickstart 1.3 available?
If so, is it available for the 500?
If so, how much?
Thanks,

To quote an old saying "RSN" The ROM version will work in both the 500 & 2000, and a disk based version will be available for those w/1000's. As for cost, I don't have even a rough guess.

Well, many developers have early releases of 1.3 (certainly everyone who went the the developers conference does) and their talking about it tends to confuse folks. The reality is that it is not available yet. (And you don't want a prerelease if you are a regular user because it may crash horribly and you would be bummed). Anyway, when it is released, myself and others will be sure to post a message saying so with as much information as possible so that you can run out and buy it. And yes, it will be available in ROM because they gave some of those out at the developers conference too. --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.

I ask because since 1.2 came out, only 12 authorized versions of 1.2 have ever reached the Jackson area. I having been one of the lucky ones. While there are probably only 100 or so Amiga owners in the area, I only wonder if I'm going to have to bribe my way onto someone's waiting list again.

Well if it isn't available in Mississippi, im sure it will be available via CATS. Just like the 1.2 Enhancer kit is and was :-) > >Ewan Grantham -- Dan "Sneakers" Schein uucp: {ihnp4|allegra|burdvax|rutgers}!cbmvax!schein Commodore AMIGA ARPANET: cbmvax!schein@uunet.uu.net 1200 Wilson Drive Bix: dschein Plink: Dan*CATS West Chester PA 19380 phone: (215) 431-9100 ext. 9542 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Call BERKS AMIGA BBS - 24 Hrs - 3/12/2400 Baud - 40Meg - 215/678-7691 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ I help Commodore by supporting the AMIGA.

This does require a bit more effort but the disks get delivered right to your door! Seriously, the CATS group in Westchester can sell you a copy of 1.2 (or 1.3 when it is available) for the same price as the dealer sells it for. Note that the upgrade is not free. Some people around here were confused at first thinking that their dealer would call them in and hand them an upgrade pack. It was however nearly free ($15) so no one I know complained. And in case you are wondering, CATS address is : CATS Commodore Business Machines 1200 Wilson Dr Westchester, PA 19380 You could write to them and get a list of some other stuff they sell (like developers notes, programmers documentation, etc) --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.

Here's a repost of the support materials list and ordering information so the whole world won't have to send in requests for the list. :-) DEVELOPER SUPPORT MATERIALS =========================== May, 1988 The following is a current list of developer support materials available directly from Commodore Amiga Technical Support. The version of each item is either an official version number or the release date. The prices are for orders within the U.S.. Canadians should add $2.50 shipping costs per item. For foreign orders, add $5.00 shipping costs per item. All prices are in U.S. dollars. To order any of these items, send a check or money order made out to Commodore Business Machines, to: CATS - ORDERS <----- (Department) Software Administration <=\ CBM <==\ CATS 1200 Wilson Drive <==/ address West Chester, PA 19380 <=/ Be sure to include your name and address, and the name(s) of the item(s) you are ordering. If you are a registered developer, place your developer number on your check and envelope front for faster service. Delivery may take 4-6 weeks but is generally much quicker. Note - if you would like your order FedX'd, supply your FedX number or major credit card number for FedX shipment charges. (You must still pay for the materials themselves with a check) DISCLAIMER: All materials are supplied as-is and do not include updates. >>>>>>>>>>>>> CATS AMIGA DEVELOPER SUPPORT MATERIALS <<<<<<<<<<<<<< ITEM NAME VERSION PRICES ========= ======= ====== 1.2 Enhancer (Kickstart,WB,Extras) 1.2 $15 (US) 1.2 Native Developer Update 03/18/87 $20 (US) A1000 Schematics & Expansion Specs 06/09/86 $20 (US) Developer's Conference Notes 11/05/86 $20 (US) IFF Docs and Disk 03/25/87 $20 (US) A500/A2000 Tech Ref Manual 08/87 $40 (US) AmigaMail Subscription (1 year) -------- $20 (US) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Carolyn Scheppner -- CATS >>Commodore Amiga Technical Support<< UUCP ...{allegra,ihnp4,rutgers}!cbmvax!carolyn PHONE 215-431-9180 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
