[ "Send lawyers, guns, and money ..." ] Alas, neither "ames" nor our mail maps know who "apctrc" is, or this would have been emailed ... to those who say .signatures don't need to include a net address because it's in the mail header, I say BULL! To: ames!apctrc!zlhb0a > It's dead, Jim. > > Well, send me the info. I guess it's better than nothing. Which is what I have > right now. (PC-WISE). Some of us can't afford another thousand. Besides isn't > the 2000 still unavailable? The outfit that was selling the Sidecar at the Commodore Show in February in San Francisco is: Transnational Electronics, Inc. 1130 A N. Kraemer Blvd. Anaheim, CA 92806 ph: 714-630-8711 or 714-630-8644 Before you take the plunge though, I'd suggest making *sure* (as in "in writing") that you can return the unit if it fails to work with *your* Amiga. There have been reports that the Sidecar will work on some machines, but not others (bus loading and component tolerences, perhaps). Also, it is usually said that the Sidecar can be the *only* thing on the Expansion Bus (though some report it worked *for them* with a pass-thru memory card). Finally, if you've seen some of the recent postings about Abel Supply on the net, they *do* have GREAT prices, and service. ---Abel Supply tentative pricing omitted, to avoid being overly commercial.--- Of course this is without the Bridge card, monitor, etc., but if you want/need PClone compatibility, I think it's alot better (read more reliable) deal than the Sidecar. And remember, you should be able to get a few hundred $$$'s for the PC-WISE [Wyse?], which could certainly help put the A2000/Bridge more in reach. And yes, the A2000 is still unavailable in the US, though it *is* being sold in Europe *now*. The rumored availability here is in late July ... we shall see! Anyway, good luck whichever way you choose to go! /kim -- UUCP: kim@amdahl.amdahl.com or: {sun,decwrl,hplabs,pyramid,ihnp4,seismo,oliveb,cbosgd}!amdahl!kim DDD: 408-746-8462 USPS: Amdahl Corp.
