Brand New, Seagate 1.2 Gigabyte 19ms SCSI HD forsale. $3500 or best offer. (Yep, I need the money to buy an A3000) For 3000UX users this would be a perfect addition. No Storage worries. A question for Commodore: If I buy an A3000-25/50, will the 1.76mb drive be in it? What about Buster/RAMSEY revisions, and WB2.04? The reason I am asking is because I'd rather get a machine with the newest revisions of Soft/Hardware, instead of having to buy it extra. I remember a few A500 owners bought new machines, but didn't get the Fat Agnus, so they had to spend $100+ to buy it instead of getting it for free. Perhaps you guys at CBM Engineering would like to trade a 1.2 GB HD for an A3000? :-) Reply by Email if you would like to buy it. The drive has several other names. Seagate a.k.a. Imprimis a.k.a. WREN.

What about >Buster/RAMSEY revisions, and WB2.04? A3000's are currently shipping with 2.02 (36.207/209). We have not released 2.04 yet, it's still in (late) beta. Thus far, the spec for the A3000 has not been changed to include HD floppies; I can't say whether it will be (or rather, it would be improper for me to say). As for Buster/RAMSEY revisions, I wouldn't know. The only way to be certain about revs is to get the dealer to check them before you take delivery of the machine. If you're a registered developer, CATS may be able to guarantee it if you buy through them (by checking it). If you're a developer, ask CATS. >Perhaps you guys at CBM Engineering would like to trade a 1.2 GB HD for >an A3000? :-) Hey, dave, you wouldn't miss that A3000 of yours in the lab, would you? ;-) Nah, I'm happy with my ST1480N. :-) -- Randell Jesup, Keeper of AmigaDos, Commodore Engineering. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!jesup, jesup@cbmvax.commodore.com BIX: rjesup Disclaimer: Nothing I say is anything other than my personal opinion.
