- I have some questions in mind but I could not make where to post them exactly,
- so they are here. Sorry for any inconvenience...
-
- 1- I had bought my Amiga 1200 a long time ago ('93 summer) and without a hard
- drive. Now I hooked a Seagate 420MB to the system and it works OK. But there's
- a little problem: Since I did not have a HD in the beginning, I had no install
- disk that came with the computer. Now I made the directories, copied files
- manually and it seems to work (although sometimes strange things crop up.). Is
- there any way I can get the Installer script (or the disk?) so that the job
- is done properly? Here in Turkey, there are not much people left who knows what
- Amiga is so not much of help...
-
- 2- Is sysinfo not pd/shareware etc? I mean I could not find it on AmiNet. The
- last version I have is 3.11 (I guess) which came with CU AMIGA cover disk (not
- sure, I must admit)
-
- 3- A friend of mine decided to but a gfx card for his PC (486) and in the shop
- they told him about S3Trio. He told me it cost $125 (Actually he exchanged what
- he had with it and paid $30 in total)! Isn't this too low for a gfx card? The
- cards for Amiga are too pricey when compared to this one. I know PC wares are
- cheaper but that seemed too much of a difference. Also another friend of mine
- came and I told him about this (this guy has just bought a P5-100). This time,
- he told me this is overpricing, S3Trio's price in the shop where he bought his
- computer was $110!!! So, what is going on? I heard and read S3Trio is not just
- something crap.
-
- Thanks to anyone taking time to reply...
