For the past year or so I have been reading most of the net postings that have been forwarded to USU by some kind individuals out *there*, but may have missed some. So please forgive this note if it turns out to be redundant. I am extremely interested in the "Tower of Power" section of "Whats New" from the may/june AmigaWorld magazine. This looks similar to the "Turbo-Amiga" box CSA was advertizing at least a year ago... now modified to look like a A2000 expansion box. My question is this: Has *anyone* used this (these) products? If so, how do you like them? The thought of plugging in an 020/68881 board in and running at 10 Mhz is a very nice one 8-). Incidentally, isn't $1200+ a bit much for a box with slots in it attached to a cable? If someone would comment on this, I would greatly appreciate it. ======================================================================= J.

Norman Gee Student (sort of) Gee, I don't know about you but we have been thinking about upgrading a DEC 11/23 to an 11/73... $18,000.00. And a 68020 runs circules around the 11/73. No, based on what the box consists of and what can be plugged into it, I would say that your getting a very cost effictive upgrade to a very under priced computer. Hans
