Picked up Michigan Softwares's 1Meg Internal Card with 10year battery. Not bad. Installation is not for the 'hardware weary" though. The board fits neatly into the Amiga and is Auto-Config (C00000-Cfffff) with outsided expansion units. (I have a Microbotics 2meg 'Starboard' and it is nice when WB comes up with 3.5meg). The price is $345.00 retail and $245.00 to dealers. The Board comes with software and than enables users to "switch-out" all expanded memory (except the 256k expansion) for use with DPaint etc…with the click of a mouse button you can "re-enable" all of the expanded memory (nice touch). Also, the warrenty card comes with the serial number already written in and is stamped! It took 1 week to get ours (We ordered 4) and UPS was pre-paid by the company. The software that sets the internal clock is nice too. You can add it to your startup-sequence and basically forget about…until say the fall when you need to "fall back" thats all you type… and it will fall back 1 hour (or spring ahead depending). All in all the board is great. Installation is a snap if you are inclined to do those sort of things. (see Amazing Computing Vol.2 Number 3 page 22 for the advert.)
