Sorry to keep bugging you, but I am trying to get as much info on the 3000 as I can. How much will the educational price be for the A3000 @ 25Mhz, A1950, and 100MB hard drive in the 2-floppy chassis cost? There is a listing on the edpric.txt file for the 40MB version, but the chassis type isn't mentioned and a 100MB option isnt either. When in July will the 3000's be shipped? Early, middle, or late? If the first A3000's release will have kickstart and WB on disk, will there be an additional cost to have the 2.0 chips installed when they are released? How does the SCSI interface work? I mean, there are alot of SCSI products on the market such as Optical Disk, CD-ROMS, and external hard drives. Is it just a matter of plugging these devices in and the Amiga automatically knows how to handle them or must something special be done? If I was to get the AT bridgeboard and put it in the 3000, where would I put the 5.25" drive to go with it? Does Commodore have plans to upgrade the Amigas to 24-big color, 1.44MB floppies , or higher resolutions? If I went to my dealer now and got one of those forms I need to fill out in order to get the educational pricing and sent it in with payment, would I get my 3000 shipped with the "first bunch" shipped out or would I have to wait? How long is the average turn-around time for Commodore to ship a computer once they've received the forms for educational pricing? My dealer says 2 weeks, is this accurate? Thanks again!
