I have seen sporadic postings about an "Amiga 3000T". Is it a tower 3000? Could someone post me specs? A discription? Regards Alan

A discription? I think it would be a good idea to some of our C= people to post a DETAILED description of this machine to comp.sys.amiga.announce, so that each of us don't need to ask separately about every wire in it. BTW, I hope that Commodore starts to use that newsgroup also 'officially'. (So, Dave H. and all others: please tell your superiors and marketing people that there is a very cheap way to reach a lot of Amiga users all over the world and market new products from your company!) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reijo Ronkko University of Helsinki, Dept. of General Microbiology, Mannerheimintie 172, 00300 Helsinki, FINLAND Fax +358-0-4735426 Ronkko@cc.helsinki.fi ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note that the members of USENET frown upon using the network for commercial advertising or any "official" purpose. The way that most member companies see it, their netnews feed is solely for exchange of technical information about the state of the art, a necessity for helping keep their engineers up-to-date. They don't want to use their netnews feeds to do commercial advertisements for competitors. Not to mention that the NFSNET, a major carrier of USENET news, is forbidden (by U.S. law) to serve commercial (sales) purposes. In other words, Commodore might raise more ruckus than they cared to if they wanted to make their presence on the USENET "official". Something which might be hard to appreciate there in Finland, but here in the U.S. politics can get sort of hairy :-}. -- Eric Lee Green (318) 984-1820 P.O.

Hey! I started this! I don't care who the hell tells me what it is. Obviously you guys know lots I don't. I have no idea what it looks like, how many slots, if it fits the T. Nothing. (Sure I can guess..) Could someone (anyone) _please_ tell me what they _do_ know about the machine. Thanks. Alan
