Most professional developers in Germany have one. Yes! I waited 5 months - ordered it December 1, 1990. I was the first one to order and the first to receive (probably one of the first to receive here in the Chicago area - non developer machine that is) the TT at the dealer near me. I'm starting to see new software appear for the TT also. Such as: Lattice C TT, Calamus TT, Pagestream (?) TT, Devpac Assembler TT, etc.... By the way, did you see my posting to this newsgroup from a few days ago? Here's the info: How's this: TT030, 4M, 50M HD, with Color Monitor - $2680 Subtract about $500 without Color Monitor. I believe that you can also get the 2M TT030 for just under $2000. A 4M model includes 2M of ST RAM on the motherboard plus another daughterboard with 2 more Meg. One can expand this ST RAM daughterboard to 10 M. The fast TT RAM includes another daughterboard with 1M Sims to add another 4M to make a TT030 8M model. Remove the 1M Sims from this TT daughterboard and replace them with 4M Sims to expand TT RAM to 16M. Result total RAM = 10 + 16 = 26M. I was told today from a dealer here in the Chicago area that these RAM expansion boards will be ready for sale around mid June here. CUL, Chuck P.S. Software from my ST is running many times faster on the TT - to be expected! :)
