I was at the AmigaExpo in Anaheim, in October 1990. In addition to buying my Amiga there, I checked out hard drive controllers and other extra hardware. One brand which looked promising, out of Europe, was called Golem. I was wondering: does Golem still exist, is it available in the U.S., and if so, what is the quality? Thanks in advance. -Eliot (6600sage@ucsbuxa.edu) -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- *** "Crimson people are inherently silly people.

Golem is the trademark of Kupke electronics GmbH (which means Ltd.), from Germany, they are comparable to GVP in the states: they are good, but expensive. They have an SCSI-II controller which has achieved the highest transfer rates in tests together with GVP's controller. They also have a 'Black Tower' which basically is an A2000 in a pretty black tower case, with a stronger power supply, 50Mhz 68030, 60Mhz (!) 68882, and a lot of slots. X-pert also has a tower and some turbo boards out there (plus graphics cards etc.), but they are very expensive. I don't have their address handy, but if you really need it, I'll post it. >Thanks in advance. > >-Eliot (6600sage@ucsbuxa.edu) -Thomas. This account expires on 01-Sep-91.
