- Hi there! The latest fishdisks are being uploaded to ux1 even as we
- speak. Following my signature is a listing of the contents of these disks.
- (Note: This is a recording. If there are only a few disks listed, it's
- probably because this is being done to replace a [some] bad disk[s])
-
- P.S. If you were on the Fishdisks mailing list, you'd already know this.
- Send mail to schwager@cs.uiuc.edu to get put onto the list.

- rendered in black and white or in grayscale, and saved to IFF
- files. Version 1.0, includes source in C.

- projects for the Amiga. On this disk you will find the design
- for an 8Meg RAM and SCSI controller for the Amiga 500 (SCsi
- RAM for the 500 = SCRAM 500). You will also find an order
- form to obtain PCB, chips and whatever you need to build one.
- The SCRAM 500 is easy to build, cheap and should be useful to
- a lot of people. Included in this distribution is complete
- documentation on how to assemble a SCRAM 500, notes for Amiga
- 1000 owners, a description of the custom chips, design notes,
- troubleshooting guide, user's manual, bill of materials, 12
