- There are good accelerators for the IIGS that will enable you to
- put your machine back up to speed.
-
- 1. The cable to connect your Amiga to your Apple RGB monitor costs
- $59 from Redmond cable... a friend was considering doing that, and
- that was the quote he got. He decided against it... instead, he used
- a 27" T.V.
-
- 2. There are drivers that allow an IW II to be used with an Amiga, I think
- you also need a specific type of cable... good out put, the drivers are
- pd I think.
-
- 3. As far as I know, your Mac 800k drive is only useful with hardware AMAX.
-
- My advice: you'll get far more value out of selling your IIGS system
- complete in one package, and if you can upgrade for less than $200, you
- won't be hurting yourself... even $300 for an accelerator will make your
- system perform much better (have a friend who upgraded his GS with
- accelerator to 7mhz). Plus, you'll be able to wait and see what CBM
- reveals of it's new models...
