Well,  one Amiga located in Live Oak in Sunny Santa Cruz Survived.  
The monitor took a beating, but it lives.

The epicenter was located at Loma Prieta (sp?) which is about 10 miles
from Santa Cruz.  There is some discussion as to whether
the San Andreas or the Zayante fault caused the earthquake.  Some
people speculate that the San Andreas set off the Zayante fault.

Los Gatos's major problem was the water supply which was knocked out
for quite a while.  However, Scotts Valley and Santa Cruz took major
damage in various parts.  Santa Cruz lost a large portion of the
central "mall" which has been standing for ages.  It came tumbling
down, killing 2 in the local "Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting Company".

Hopefully the damage in Berkely was not too extensive, as I believe that
city is built on fairly solid ground.

My best wishes to those who have lost more than I have in the quake.
My life is coming back to normal now.

Now for some amiga stuff:
I have a Supra Hard Disk/controller on my ami 1000, and a StarBoard II
which currently has 1 Meg installed.  Anyone else been able to add
more memory to their system beyond the 2 Meg capacity of the Starboard
when they have the configuration?

Thanks
