Hi Iain,
I went to the Amiga Format show at Wembly last weekend and the guy on the
GVP stand told me about the upgrade thing, It seems if you bought your
HD8+ from Silica (I did..) they will mail you in a couple of weeks
proposing the full deal, he said they would take the drive out of your
existing machine and put it in a 530 for about 200 – 250 pounds (This
coincides with cutting the price of 530's down to 500 pounds) If you've
got extra Ram onboard he said it would be a 2 for 1 swap thing.. ie 2 megs
of 16 bit Ram would get you one of 32 bit… I bet they charge more for
that though..
I'm gonna do it.. I've got too much stuff strapped to this 500+ to bother
starting again with a 4000/30 (although I nearly cracked and got one a
couple of weeks ago..) How about you? Gonna go AGA or speed up!
I got the impression that even if you didn't get your drive from Silica
you could still take advantage of the deal once its been publicised.
Steve
