A friend came over my house to demo A friend's DCTV almost works on my A3000, it works ok, except the digitizer always drops part of the frame. The word from DC was that it was a very early DCTV unit, and should be returned for an update. I can't answer the warranty questions, but I've had my A3000 open so many times that it should have velcro instead of screws. :-) Installing the RAM is a pain because you have to almost completely disassemble the machine, but it's not difficult if you know your way around a screwdriver. You just need to be careful putting the chips into the sockets, ZIP legs will bend a lot easier than DIPs. No tape drive will fit inside the case, but you do have room for one more hard or floppy drive. Early A3000's required you to provide your own cables, but I think this has been corrected. -- Blaine Gardner @ Evans & Sutherland 580 Arapeen Drive, SLC, Utah 84108 blgardne@javelin.sim.es.com BIX: blaine_g DoD #46 My other motorcycle is a Quadracer.
