- Hehe, count me in. I am in such a bad mood because of their vapourware, I was
- beginning to wonder if Microsft bought the company (that is a joke, of course, a
- bad one). I have a 17" monitor, A4000 without processor, CV64 I finally got,
- scan doubler, but no Cyberstorm MKII. I am waiting for 3 months now and I won't
- wait any longer. I need scsi also and when will this come from Phase 5 I do not
- want to know. I know now they told me May for Cyberstorm MKII (and why is
- Cybervision MKI unavailable in the meantime???) and I had enough. They lost 2
- customers - me and my friend. We are both buying Apolo 4060 with SCSI and we
- hope to get them next week. If Phase 5 is what amiga is for the future, I feel
- sorry ...
