I am going to be doing a lot (hopefully) of programming of commercial
software for scientists and professors.  Because some will have their
hearts set on MS-DOS or Mac machines, I was curious whether the following
set-up would not only be feasable, but worth the time and effort, or if
I should just get an MS-DOS machine and a Mac (very expensive proposition).

[I already own a 500, but would sell it and upgrade...]

Amiga 2x00 w/ x Megs of RAM
	   w/ Amax II
	   w/ '286 board (when does the '386 come out?)
	   w/ 120+ meg hard drive
	      or 40 megger(1), 40 megger(2), 40 megger(3)
	   w/ x drives

What configuration would be best to get?  Which Amiga would be best to
get? A 2000? A 2500? Will I be able to format the hard drive properly
so that I can have at least a 40 meg partions for Amiga/MS-DOS/Mac?

Has anyone done this?  

I figure the partitions need to be large enough so as to fit the
core programs the clientele will be using, and anything I am working on
creating for them.

Please feel free to give input no matter how trivial.  I don't want to go
full steam ahead only to learn some trivial matter is going to gum up the
works.

Thanks,

M.R. Lieb
