[comp.sys.amiga.marketplace] 1.2 GB HD for sale

rjc@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu (Ray Cromwell) (04/04/91)

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. (it's the same mechanism)

	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.

	Hey, dave, you wouldn't miss that A3000 of yours in the lab, would you?
;-)  Nah, I'm happy with my ST1480N. :-)
