[comp.sys.amiga.tech] Confused semi-novice beginner questions

dave@cs.arizona.edu (Dave Schaumann) (05/03/90)

I would like to ask two questions:

  First:  I was looking at the current Amiga World (nice job on the 3000 :),
and I saw in a GVP add for the "Impact A2000 SCSI + 8 controller".  What
confuses me is that it claims the SCSI controller has "full Overscan support".
I know SCSI is an I/O device controller (right?)  And I thought overscan was
a video display mode.  Why would one have anything to do with the other?

  Second: I have an A500, which I would like to expand (more memory and
a hard disk) as funds allow.  One thing I am considering is the Subsystem 500
made by Pacific Peripherals.  If anyone has any experience with this product,
I would appriciate any feedback (good or bad).

Thanx in advance.

(BTW, no use e-mailing after 5/11/90 - that's when this account goes away :( )
