- Hello Amiga users.
-
- I am not knowledgable in Amiga hardware, and need help finding
- hardware for a friend of mine in another country. I make the purchase,
- and will send it to him via traveling relatives. They leave soon,
- so I am in a rush!
-
- He wants to buy a 200+ MB SCSI HD for his A3000, and was ready to purchase
- a Quantum LPS 210S from a store in the US (for $659!). I told him that they
- have come out with the much improved LPS 240S, but he was told by the salesman
- that the 240 will NOT work with the A3000. Can anyone confirm or deny this? He
- says that he would rather be safe with the 210 than gamble with the 240 since
- returning it will be extremely difficult. I suspect the salesman is trying to
- clear out an obsolete model.
-
- In any case, I cannot find a NEW 210S anywhere. Can anyone give me a source
- for this drive, or another brand SCSI drive in the 200MB range that is known
- ot work with the A3000?
-
- 2nd thing: He wants a monitor to go with his computer, and was looking
- at the Sony CPD1302 and CPD1304. Can anyone tell me the difference?
- I think the 1302 has 640x480 resolution and may be interlaced, as
- opposed to the 1304 with 1024x768 and NI. Will both of these monitors
- work with the A3000? Any suggestions for multi-sync monitors?
-
- Thanks very much for any information,
- Phil
