	Well, I'm working on an industrial application -- involving the
Amiga 2500, no less :) -- and in desperate need of a decent 750 VA UPS
(Uninterrupted Power Supply). Anyone care to make a suggestion as to
which brand name to purchase? I have $800-$1000 bucks to allocate toward
the thing.

	Incase anyone is interested, I'm going to be using the Amiga to
aquire data from a 12 bit, 16 channel multi-plexed A-to-D board which
monitors the drilling of an oil well in real-time (pump storkes, pump
pressure, pit levels, hook load, weight on drill bit, weight on the
drill-string (many pieces of drill-pipe connected, of course), chormatic
gas analysis (chromatigraph and HP Integrator), etc. In other words,
tons of external, analog events :). 


	Anywho, I would also like your opinion on the system that I have
spec'ed for the job (Not that I can think for myself, but I think many
minds in motion are better than one) :

	- Amiga 2500.
	- 2nd internal floppy.
	- 1080 monitor.
	- ASDG dual-serial card (for real-time data xmit to an on-shore data
	  aquisition center.
	- ASDG ISBX card.

	Haven't locked down which A/D card to use, yet, but I'm looking; any
suggestions appreciated. Also, I'm thinking about replacing the the 2000'
HD with a Quantum 80s. Anyone think that this drive will have any problems
in this situation? That is, you have never been shaken until you've been
on a drilling platform :)

	I'm also in the market for a decent HD back-up system; probably going
to go with a decent sized streamer or the new Panasonic 11 meg SCSI.
