- Greetings Joerg,
-
- In answer to Anders Erlandsson's question about whether or not the 2060
- was out yet, you wrote:

-
- Despite also owning an A4000/040 (stock, no Warp Engines, etc), my favourite
- Amiga is still an A2000 which I've fitted into a 'Bomac' tower (special
- very, very heavy tower designed and sold some years ago in North America;
- designed specifically for the A2000...very functional...also very ugly).
-
- This A2000 has an RCS Management (a Montreal based company) 'Fusion 40'
- 040 (@28Mhz) accelerator fitted into it. The card also contains 8 slots
- for 32-bit SIMMs, but has no SCSI interface. RCS was rumoured from time
- to time to be working on a 060 version of this board, but I suspect that
- project has been set aside.
-
- Well Joerg, I envy you and am glad to hear that your new 060 board is so
- software compatible. I know that 'benchmark' programs leave a lot to be
- desired, but if you have the time could you perhaps post some results
- from, say, AIBB?

- Greetings again,

- BTW, I was born in Toronto, five and a half months after my parents got
- married in Sweden. Hmm...does this make me a little bit Swedish?
