How much would it cost (ave.) to > put another 512 on it? Your price for the Amiga is overpriced. Inter Computing Inc. (214) 988-3500 sells mail order Amiga's with 512K memory added and the Monitor for $1295.00 .. The second drive is $239 . ( I would recomend one strongly) I have no affiliation with this company, I got good service there when my sister bought an Amiga from them, so I'm just passing this info on. Their price on software was good too. Gary Evans Boeing Co. Seattle, Wa.
