NEWSLETTER FROM VORTEX
----------------------
Hallo ! To all the members of the user's club !
Flein, October, 1991
Vortex has established a service to inform the user's clubs. Here now our
latest informations.
On the Amiga fair in Cologne we are demonstrating for the first time new
AT-emulator
vortex ATonce-Plus
with a 16MHz CMOS 80286-16 bit CPU for the Amiga 500 and the new Amiga 500
Plus.
Please find the enclosed leaflet.
For the Amiga 2000 we are developing a 80386SX AT-emulator with 16 MHz, vortex
FAST-RAM and a socket for an optional co-processor. It will be available at the
beginning of next year.
Further we will provide our registered users with an update in the next few
weeks.
We would be glad to meet one of you on an Amiga fair anywhere in the world and
get a better contact with you. You can find the vortex team or one of our
distributors in:
Cologne November 01-03, 1991
London November 14-17, 1991
