Don, I usually agree with most everything you say here in the forums, and greatly admire your Amiga wisdom, but believe you are really off base with the 030 AGA machine. It make sense for a number of reasons, the 1200 is a great machine but it is rather limited: 10 megs of ram,(who would have believed that would be an issue!) no MMU, no video slot (or any other slot besides the belly slot) ect. You say: if you need all that buy the 4000, well I don't have $2700.00 right now but I do have $1500-$2000 that I would pay for an AGA 030, 2-4 megs ram, 4 or 5 slots, 80 meg hd, that may not fit my future needs, but that I could upgrade as I could afford it. My system now is the result of gradually upgrading it as I could. I could never have afforded it otherwise. The 1200 puts a wall up as far expandability and the 4000 is out of my pocket book. Even if the 030 is 4-6 hundred dollars cheaper it gives me a choice and an option. …Steve ====>>> Motorola 68030 Inside <<<====
