I am currently looking at purchasing a new Amiga system.

This system will include an A2000, GVP 030, GVP 100meg hardcard.
I am looking for any first hand experience with these components.
Want to confirm that they work as advertised etc.  Also I have been informed 
that the GVP 030 32 bit memory is available only in 4meg increments.  Are
the simm modules used available from any third party sources?  Are they
socketed or must they be soldered?  

Also what are the available multi-serial port options?  

Another item I don't believe I have seen discussed before is multiple
parallel ports?  Anybody working on this?

What is the latest word on the A3000?  Any specs on it?

Is the latest version of DNET available to the general usenet population
yet?  I do not have FTP capability so that option is out.  One project I
am going to undertake when I get the new system is to network it with
amigash, hopefully with DNET and uucp.  Did I read the messages correctly 
about DNET allowing NFS?

If you can please respond via Email.  amigash gets the amiga groups but I
am still about 800 messages behind. <grin>  Please use the address below.
