You can by the SIMMs from H. Co., US# (714) 833-3222, which gave me a very
reasonable price on my 8MB SIMM. I don't remember the name of the guy I spoke
to–Lawrence or something–but he's the one who knows the WarpEngine.
If you go elsewhere, you'll want a 60ns 72pin SIMM. In your manual there are
some restrictions listed on the kinds of SIMM–as far as the number of chips.
>>What about the SCSI interface on the WharpEngine? Do you use it or is your
harddisk connected to the build-in Amiga SCSI?<<
My hard drive is on the WE. My understanding is that you're not supposed to
attach hard drives to the Amiga SCSI controller with a WE inside. You might be
able to get away with a tape drive, or even a CDROM, but not an hd. This leads
to a small problem, too, because without an internal hd, you're missing one
termination on the 3k's SCSI bus, so you'll probably need to attach an external
cable with a terminator on the end to the external connector. If you have a
device on it, that's good too, just as long as it's terminated.
