They decided not to import/support things like A2620/A2630, not to sell hard disk controllers without hard disk... so why should they import A3000UX and sell to developers? (they sell at least normal A3000's, but not very cheap) Tommy Petersson etxtomp@eos.ericsson.se

CATS (U.S.) does not sell machines to developers outside of the U.S.
Sorry.

Question: I'm interested in buying an amiga 3000 but I would prefer to get
the 3000UX instead. Knowing my luck, after I buy the 3000, the unix version
would be released! My questions are:
1) If anybody can tell me when or about when the unix version will be available to the public. I will use it for school as well as at work.
2) Could you please let me know what all comes with the 3000UX. How much ram,
what kind of hard disk, Open Look, Motif, etc...
3) Are there any student discount prices for the unix version, if so, what are
the prices and what do they come with.
From what I have read in BYTE magazine, and on the net here, it sounds like a
great machine. I'm looking forward to owning one, as well as programming it.
Thanks for any help, and information that you might submit. Again thanks,
it will save me a little money, and time.
