I don't have any A2 mags. So I guess I'm kind've taking advantage of the collective conciousness of the net. Please bear with me. Currently I've got a ROM 01 GS with a mono monitor, an Apple 3.5 drive (thanx, Scott), an Rev. C SCSI card, a HBHD-Seagate ~40 MB (thanx, Scott), a Ventel 2400 (thanx, Scott), a System Saver IIGS (thanx, Scott), a GS-RAM 1.5Meg non-DMA (memory - thanx, Scott) , and a ZIP GSX 8MHz/16k (thanx ME!). I'm feeling like I want to move up to a Ramfast SCSI. That means I have to send my GSX in for work (its an old pre-DMA fix one), and I have to replace my memory board too. Is the OCTORAM still available? Where from? Where should I buy my CVTECH card from, and can I buy the new ROM from a mail order company (I like overnite shipping - immediate gratification)? Also, I just got a MIDI compatible device and I don't have a stereo card. Is there a card that does MIDI, stereo and sampling all in one? Is it any good? What is its sampling quality like (noisy or no)? And finally, I have heard a lot of good things about a Magnavox monitor (mostly that it is cheap and has a tuner!) that has Analog RGB in available. Where can I find this beast? If it doesn't exist, what about the Sony beast? Thanx, and reply soon! (As my gold card credit line is rapidly shrinking! :) ) Brendan G.
