Well, this info may come to a shock to some of you, BUT IM doing a group buy with some friends, and we can get the Pheonix 500 and 1000 hard drives at a VERY GOOD Price.. by VERY GOOD I mean, between $600-650. The A1000 version supports up to 4 megs, sits on-top of the machine, and is buffered. The A500 version cannot accept 4 Meg, but it does buffer and it sits to the side. They are BOTH SCSI drives, and can take 7 scsi devices, they are both DMA and there add says they have the potential to transfer at rates of approx 4 MegaBytes per Second (though I cant see it going that fast on the current file system). All interested people should contact me (ie send me mail) I think the most we wanna handle at this price is about 10, we are gaining NO profit from doing this. >2) How can I put an '020 in the A1000? How much does it cost? > Does it come with an MMU? ... an '881? Well, im getting info from one of my users on my BBS, he says he can get internal piggy-back boards that have a 68020/68881 sockets and cost approx $310. The 68020 and 881 cost about $250 and $200 respectivly and depending on what speed you get the price is different. When he gives me the info I will either re-post or mail direct to all those interested. again, send me some mail. BTW No , it does not come with an MMU > >eric > >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >Eric Deese (cbosgd!esd) AT&T Bell Labs > >Disclaimer: Scott Bethke {bearoff|beartrk|cucstvd|decvac|esi|fmsrl7|icus|ihnp4|macom1| nucleus|obpu1|ocsmd|rriwro|thrash|uoxat|reason|devon|killer} netsys!bathkey BATHKEY AT NETSYS.UUCP
