[comp.sys.amiga.misc] buyng M.A.S.T.

dlou@sdcc13.ucsd.edu (Dennis Lou) (05/01/91)

I'm thinking of getting a Starblazer for my A1000.  I need a hard
drive controller and RAM, and the accelerator would be nice too.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience buying M.A.S.T.
products.  I hear so many complaining about their scummy vaporware
practices, but I haven't heard much about the products themselves.

Also, does any mail order places carry M.A.S.T. products, or do I
have to order from M.A.S.T. themselves?

I've been using a MAST double floppy drive for over a year.  It's reliable,
makes no noise when it seeks, and doesn't click.  Also, I can turn off each
drive individually.  I also have a MAST A501 clone 512K memory board with
clock.  It also works flawlessly.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy MAST again.
