[comp.unix.amiga] A3000 performance & dumb question

sims@starbase.mitre.org (Jim Sims) (05/27/91)

Can someone post some benchmarks for the A3000 UX configurations?
SPECmarks? Whetstones? etc?

If I buy one, can I also run AmigaDOS (i.e. workbench 2.x) on the box? (not
necessarily simultaneously, can I reboot and run alll those games, etc)

thanks,
jim

Yes,
	Actually ours came with Kickstart 2.0 and 1.3 on the 200MB Hard
	Disk as well as Workbench 2.0 and 1.3 in appropriate partitions.
	When you reboot or turn the machine on just hold down the left and
	right mouse buttons and you will be offered a menu which allows
	you to boot:
	    Kickstart 2.0 from Hard Disk
	    Kickstart 2.0 from Floppy Disk
	    Kickstart 1.3 from Hard Disk
	    Kickstart 1.3 from Floppy Disk

Hope this helps.
