- If anybody who reads, knows something :
-
- 1. Now what processor will be in A1200+ (or what it will be called),
- 40 MHz 030 like i heard or 040 like some guys state?
- 2. What will be the PRICE... should not be too much, i think...
- of course this depends on what comes with it... RAM and
- harddrive size...
- 3. As it has SIMM-sockets, i HOPE it will come with *at least*
- 4 MB RAM... some developpers (games, demos) tend to develop
- for the PLAIN system, so a A1200 with 030 and only chip ram
- would be NO IMPROVEMENT AT ALL HERE !!! The minimum model
- HAS to have Fast memory and harddrive !!!
- 4. What about building ONE Zorro-Slot to the machine, anyway
- if it is ZII or ZIII... should not raise the price that much...
- but... As cosysop of a BBS i know a LOT of computer users,
- and the main complain of A1200 users is that they can't put a
- GFX Board to their A1200, and switching to A4000 they would
- have no use of their 50 MHz Blizzard board anymore or something like
- that... and Zorro-boxes are expensive... there need not be
- MUCH slots in the A1200, but at LEAST ONE... this is more urgent
- than a PCMCIA slot, in my opinion...
- 5. About the disk drive... i heard it is a modified PC HD disk drive.
- If that is true... is it possible to add software that people can
- store data on disks with 1.4 MB ? That is much more than 880KB...
- Maybe a modified "Cross Dos"...
- 6. For the next software package : The applications of the curent are okay,
- but the games... urx... they would better have choosen Dungeonmaster II
- and Alien Breed 3D or Gloom or something like that... :)
- 7. Internet Package... when will it be available for the package
- if one does NOT want to buy an A1200 and a modem additional ?
- 8. When will the A1200+ will be available?
