In defense of Techmar's prices the price for the T-card w/256k of RAM
is not only for RAM.  Also includes battery backup clock, serial and
parallel (used for hard disk) ports.

This is not an endorsement, just info.

Ok:  Other questions that have been raised:

ABasiC Animate command----- Give up on this.  I refer you to the 1st page
of the errata, referring to page R-96 "Note that the animate command might
not be currently be implemented."  We had hoped to get this in and working
before the V1.0 release but it just didn't happen.  It is, in fact not 
implemented.  Our V1.1 release should be in the stores now (or Very soon) 
and your upgrade to Microsoft (oops Amiga)BASIC DOES do animation.

To the person with 40 dotty windows all(?) updating when one is moved....
I tried this under V1.1 with only windows under the moved from and moved
to locations updating.  If you get 1.1 and still see the problem,
please send more detailed info.

Power and the Amiga... The following Commodore devices will draw power
directly from the main box.  They are all within spec (see your Hardware
manual).  What this really means is that you (or third party people) can/
could do this too.  BUT keep it in spec!
	256k expansion RAM (nose piece)
	1st external drive
	Genloc
	Framegraber (Now called Amiga LIVE!)
	Accelerator Card (IBM emulation speed-up)
