Tecmar is saying that the add-on memory will be available "mid-December"
and that the other peripherals (winny, tape, modem) will be availble
"some time first quarter 86."   So I wait...

I know an Amiga developer that already has pre-release Tecmar stuff, but
they've only had it since Monday so don't have a lot to say about it.  I
do know that the disk was generating a lot of read errors, but at the time
the fact that the disk was formatted incorrectly hadn't been ruled out.

A company called Microbotics (in Texas?  Somewhere out of the 128 belt :-))
has announced a 256K memory upgrade that plugs into the front of your
Amiga (like the Commodore cartridge, but a little cheaper), and are
talking about an expansion box and peripherals (all I heard of was a hard
disk) but didn't have any firm plans.

My observation is that 1Q86 will see an avalanche of hardware and software
for the machine.  A-squared (making the (genlock? and) framegrabber) said
theirs will be ready 1Q86 also.

So where's my MIDI?
