Networld:
I am looking for a harddrive/ram expansion for my A500.
Specifications sought (in order of importance):
* 40-80 Meg storage capability
* Cheap
* Autobooting
* NON-DMA transfer
* Ram expansion possibilities (for long term)
* transfer rates of about 400+ Kbytes/sec (speed not absolutely critical)
Answers to any or all of the following would be helpful. ( Please email to me
also since the mailer here eats mosts of the news ).
- I am VERY interested in the new SupraDrive 500 XP, does anyplace carry this?
- The Trumpcard is cheap, somebody want lists features, opinions?
- What store consistently sells reliably and cheaply?
- What controllers are preferred (quality, performance, and price)?
- What controllers autoboot and whose memory, if added, autoconfigures?
- It is unclear in some adds if additional power supplies and casing is
neccessary. Therefore, which packages come complete and which have hidden
costs?
- How much do the ram expansion board cost unpopulated for the various drives?
- What kind of system performance increase can be realized with the super
Fat Agnus under 1.3 besides the added features the chip inherently give.
- Can the A590 be purchased with a larger drive.
* What harddrive is recommended for my needs?
Thanks in advance to any of the above responses:

BTW, do educational discounts exist for HD systems (ie. Supra).
