Ok then guys I have had my amiga for 5 years and now want to upgrade however
Ive been bussy recently so havent kept up with the amiga scene to much I would be gratefull if people could give me solutions to my criteria and there views on this subject, well heres my criteria!
1 : I have a A590 harddisk wich I like because it is a good interface, while the 20 meg hard disk was good enough it is now not any more I would like to either sell the internal drive and buy a faster scussi drive of about 50 megs or have such a drive external ie as well as the 20 meg internal drive.
2 : Speed I use my Amiga for programing but also use programs that would benefit from a) maths calc speed up b) general speed up , this speed up has to be significant enough in normal use to warrant using(obviously). One last point this hardware would have to be very compatable(not necessaraly 100%).
3 : Memory I have at the moment 1.5 megs of ram and would like to expand to more, I have it configured like this :
1st 512k internal base mem(slow mem)
2nd 512k trapdoor expansion(datel)
3rd 512k A590
This leaves me avail space in the hard disk to expand to 3 megs total, I dont wish to change my trapdoor exspansion as its not worth it!
I do happend to know of variouse recent hardware releases but would like an outsiders view and help on this I have about a grand to spend but could go up to 1.5 grand and save up the rest??
Thanks for your help(when it comes).
