This is my first time posting to this net so I am sorry if I do something wrong.
I just picked up my Amiga 2000. It is completely bare except for a Progressive Peripherals dive I picked up cheap.

I have a few questions:
	1. I know that a hard drive is absolutely essential, and 40 megs
	   would be about right I think. I need to hear some recommendations
	   about controllers and drives. I know practically nothing. 8-)

	2. Who is this Fred Fish guy, and how do I contact him?

	3. What is a good 2400 baud modem for the Amiga. I want to mount it inside
	   if that makes any difference.

	4. Which is the best C compiler, Lattice or Manx?

I really appreciate any help you can spare. I really like this machine, and I wish
to push it to its complete potential.

Please E-Mail me... I do hope to hear something. Even a flame. 8-)


Chris Gorrilla - Honestly. Really it is.
