MEGADISC DIRECT MAIL SERVICE
Many people have asked us to provide Amiga goods by direct mail
because of the greater convenience, and the security of getting Amiga
products from people who really know the Amiga. So we've checked out
some products that are have some outstanding feature: they're unique,
or all-Australian, or hard to get otherwise, or just very good. A good
example of this is the SCRAM Board, a terrific all-Australian product, 8
meg of Ram plus a SCSI interface for the A500 by the best Amiga hardware
designer in Australia, at a very competitive price - compare it to the
competition, and you'll want one for your A500. Check out the details
below.

WHAT'S AVAILABLE:
SCRAM 500 8-MEG RAM AND SCSI INTERFACE FOR THE A500
This SCSI Ram controller is small, beautifully designed, has 3 LED
status lights, can auto-boot & has auto-boot disable switch, & full
autoconfigure for Ram and whatever SCSI device you attach (hard disk,
CD-Rom player, Syquest, Tape Streamer, etc.). RAM can be added to 2, 4
or 8 Meg using ZIP DRAMs which are fully socketed (and also available
from us).
The SCSI is very fast & industry standard - just plug your SCSI hard
drive in and zoom! The software SCRAMPREP has been specially written,
is very powerful and easy to use, and will do all you need to set up
hard disks, etc. with simple mouse clicks.
There is also an upgrade path to a 68030 Accelerator board when it is
produced. This product has been designed by Australia's best Amiga
hardware designer to perform and to last, and you won't be disappointed
with it.
I believe it is the ideal add-on for the A500 since it gives you memory,
storage and eventually an accelerator all in one tiny box. Ask us
about finding SCSI hard drives at good prices.
Price: $299 with no Ram fitted
$449 with 2 Meg of Ram. (Let us know if you want more fitted) [P&P $15]

you have any problems, I'm sure we can help you out. We can also
provide the necessary toner cartridges, cleaning magazine, and OPC
magazine. Enquire about postage arrangements.

splitter andDigiView compatible digitiser in one box, and features

Phoenix Board
If you're interested in this major resuscitation of the A1000 via full
mother-board replacement/upgrade, register with us.
Ask us about the following hardware as well:
Video Breakout Box
This has Scart, S-Video and RCA inputs and outputs so that you can
connect any video equipment together, no matter what type of connectors
they use. This means you don't have to buy extra cables and adapters -
any two pieces of equipment can be connected with a set of standard RCA
leads. $75 [P&P $5]
Dual Serial Board
I've got one of these and can recommend it if you need an extra serial
port for a modem or BBS, a serial printer, etc. It gives you 2 extra
Serial Ports on a card for the A2000/3000, along with a completely
compatible "serial.device" driver (ie, works with all software), and
simple means of using the board. Baud rates from 110 to 115,200, along
with 57,600 baud for Postscript printers, ie it's much more reliable
than the Commodore serial hard & software. Uses standard cables to
reduce costs. Price $399 [P&P $15]
Sharp Colour Scanner: JX-320
A4 Flatbed scanner, 300 dpi, 24-bit colour output, to be used with the
Professional ScanLab board plus cable and driver software (also
available from us at $1259). Price of this scanner is in flux right
now, so call and ask. Ask us about other Sharp scanners as well, such
as the JX-450 (A3 size, and can also scan slides) and the JX-600 (which
gives a resolution of 600 dpi).
Polaroid CI-3000 Film Recorder
A pricey bit of hardware, but could be the basis of a good business.
Can be used with Art Department Professional software to produce 24-bit
output on 35 mm film up to 4 x 5" instant prints and chromes. Also ask
us about the bigger brother, the CI-5000 which offers 4000 lines
resolution.
Contact 1.2 Data Manager
Locally written software which manages lists of contacts, with small
size, great ease of use and low price. Memory resident, pop-up with
hot-key activation, mailing labels, automatic dialling and many other
useful features. Just the thing to have on your Workbench. Price $59
& P&P $3.
