- I own an Amiga 2000 (basic configuration), and would like to purchase the
- following hardware upgrades/accessories:
-
- 1. Hard disk/drive/controller - my initial feeling, based on price constraints,
- is to go with something in the region of 50M. However, if the differential
- is small, I will purchase 100M+. At this time, I am not inclined to go any
- higher than that.
-
- 2. RAM memory expansion - 4MB, expandable whenever I desire.
-
- 3. Color + B&W printer.
-
- Upon inquiry at a local store, the following configuration was suggested to
- me:
-
- GVP A2000-HC8II/105Q & 8MB RAM Card - $549
- This includes the controller, and also contains a RAM Card expandable to
- 8MB. No RAM is supplied, though.
-
- 4x1MB SIMMs, 80ns (access time?) - $160
- These fit into the RAM Card above.
-
- Installation of the above - $20
-
- Citizen GSX130, B&W/Color 24-pin Dot Matrix Printer - $289
- -plus- Color Kit for Citizen printers - $ 59
- -plus- Printer Cable - $7.50

- I would appreciate any comments from the Amiga community, both in terms of
- suggesting alternatives, and in the "reasonableness" of the prices shown. I
- do prefer to pay a bit of the premium associated with dealing with a local
- store, and do not want to mail-order, but please feel free to present any
- compelling arguments in favour of the latter.
-
- Please e-mail or post responses if you think there is general interest. I will
- look for responses in this newsgroup, comp.sys.amiga.introduction.
-
- Thanks very much,
