Subject: A3000 system pricing wanted
Organization: California Institute of Technology, Pasadena
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 1992 20:41:00 GMT

I have been considering selling my A3000. It is a 25MHz 68030/68882 system with
10 Megs of memory (2 Chip, 8 fast) and a 120MB Quantum LPS HD.
Also, 2.04 ROMs and a 1950 monitor.  This system is about 2 years old (I got
it when the A3000 was first released).  It would be sold with lots of 
public domain software on the HD and some commercial programs
(Baudbandit, ProWrite, DPaint, MapleV, et. al.).

So, were I to sell this system, how much could I expect to get?
You see, I haven't quite decided whether to sell or not.  I may advertise if
I think the price is right.  Are there any people out there that could
appraise this system for me?  Thanks.

Summary: Need the money for an upgrade
Keywords: ram, hd, scsi, controller
Date: 3 Sep 92 19:33:33 GMT
Organization: Purdue University Engineering Computer Network

For sale:

Commodore A2091-40 Hard disk and scsi controller

Includes:
     A2091 scsi hard disk controller with rom version 6.1
     40 megabyte quantum P40S 3 1/2" half-height hard drive on board
     2 megabytes of ram on the card

   I have been using this controller with both the hard disk above and 
an additional quantum Q250 40 megabyte 5 1/4" hard disk without any
problems (referring to the fact that my rom revision is supposedly flakey
with more than one scsi device on the bus) but will probably not
be selling the whole package together because a neighbor with a Mac was
interested in the Q250 (which I originally purchased from a Mac user), but
if you are interested in both drives, by all means go ahead and make me
an offer for the second drive as well.
   The above equipment was purchased NEW directly from Commodore in June
of 1990.  My reason for selling is that I am now purchasing a G-Force 030
Combo 40/4 with a 120 meg drive on the board, and frankly don't think 
that I will need 200 meg of storage space (at least not right away!);
I also need the money from this sale to help pay for the cost of 
acquiring the G-Force card.  I have looked at prices for this equipment
new at the present time and am asking what I think to be an accordingly
reduced price of $350.  All documentation and software is of course
included.  The installation software is 1.3, but I have had no trouble at
all running the controller and drive under 2.04.

I had the opportunity (heh!) to be in the Big Apple (New York City) back in 
February of this year, and took a trip over to their "store" in Penn 
Station.  The only thing I can say about the place is that if you wanted to 
get a 'starter' Amiga system, this *may* be a place to consider ONLY if you 
are in that area to deal with them on a person-to-person basis.
 
At the time I was interested in getting a GVP HD8 for my A500; they had none 
in stock, but said they'd backorder and ship to my home (in Arizona) when 
they got it in.  I thought about it for about two clock cycles...said "No!" 
and walked out.
 
I placed my order with Creative...a much nicer place to deal with, mail 
order (I have no decent dealers here in Tucson, with a population of 600k, 
and Phoenix (150km and three times the population) only had one, that didn't 
have anything in stock, either, so...
 
  Hope this helps...

	I've got the latest version of Amiga Unix on Tape, but don't
really have any use for it.  I was wondering if anybody would be

Followup-To: poster
Keywords: Amiga
Organization: Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA 91711
Distribution: usa
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 1992 21:17:19 GMT

The system consists of the following:

   A500 (rev. 5) and 512k expansion/clock card, 3.5" drive, 2.04 ROM
     installed.  It works just fine, but the case is slightly beat
     up.
   1010 External Floppy Drive (3.5", 880K)
   Xetec Fasttrak SCSI controller with 2 meg (3 meg total), external
     hard drive case with power supply but no drive mechanism (will
     take any half height SCSI drive)
   1080 Monitor, works okay but the screen height adjustment is
     broken (I'm sure it is fixable)
   Okimate 20 color printer, not too fast, but very quiet and it
     gives decent color output from DeluxePaint
   Joystick
   Boing 3 button optical mouse
   DeluxePaint III paint program
   Excellence 2.0 work processor (with card to upgrade to 3.0)
   Lattice C compiler 5.10b

I have been the only owner of all parts of the system, and it has
served me well for several years.  All software comes with the
original disks and manuals, and I'll throw in some extra ribbons for
the printer and some used disks.  Asking price is $400+shipping
(negotiable), but I would also be willing to trade for a 3.5" SCSI
hard drive or some 4 meg SIMMS.  I don't want to sell off pieces,
but I would sell the system without the monitor.

Actually, I've used MultiPlayer V1.31 with XPKMaster.library on MODs compressed
with XDrop but I haven't been able to get PowerPacked mods to decompress.  Since
there's a compressor that does as good as a job as PowerPaker with the
XPKMaster.library archive I found on a local BBS, I just compress everything
with XDrop.  No problems so far.

I'm in the market for a new printer for my Amiga.  I am trying to
stay in the $200-$300 dollar range, so it looks like I will be
getting some 24 pin printer.

I have considered the following so far:

  Epson Lq-570
  Epson Action Printer 3250
  Panasonic KX-P2123
  Citizen GSX-140+

Now what I am looking for is info on Amiga printer drivers.  Are there
drivers available for the above printers?  Is there one that is supported
better than the others?

Thanks for your help.
