- Hey there peeps of the world. I was considering getting a used A3000, but
- have fallen short of the needed money. My new "idea" is to upgrade my A500
- with a PP&S 040/500 28MHz '040 card and a GVP A500 HD8+ harddrive (52mb is
- all I can afford). The total of everything would total to be around $1600.
- Once I feel the need to more space I plan on buying a tower case, but that's
- farther down the road. My concern now is incompatability problems between
- the accelerator and the HD. If it matters, my A500 is about 4 years old.
- I suppose I could just try it and see what happens, because where I plan on
- buying from has a 30 NQA return policy.
- Does anyone know when PP plans on shipping the '040 board? I heard that
- there was a fire there and that they aren't shipping them yet.
-
- P L E A S E Email responses to "Da-Hogman@cup.portal.com" I already have
- a lot of subs to read and adding this one would just add to the mess. :-)
- Thanks in advance to all that reply. I really do appreciate it.
