- Do you honestly think that would sell Amigas? run a slow doom clone on an
- overpriced A1200 (no fast mem remember) and it'd push people onto the dx4's
- that escom sell for the same price (inc monitor :(
-
- I sent my mate (who's an escom salesman - no flames) a stack on demo disks to
- run on their A1200s but then found out about the floppy problem :(
- Only half of em worked...
-
- I think C= should have done a floppy trick like that long ago...it would have
- made more companies use the OS...but at the present time its another point
- against the A1200 (and it doesnt need any more!)
-
- The good news is IMHO the surfer pack will sell (and has much more plus points
- as a package deal than the basic A1200 had...)
