Keith,
Sounds less like quality control, than some sort of lemon. It happens
in cars just like that. I have an A1000 and was using a 65meg expansion
drive with 1.5 meg. I have an A500 with the 512 expansion board. I have
an A2000 with 3 meg, 40meg HD, and an A2620 accelerator board. Out of all
that hardware, there was a 68000 chip in the A2000 that would not recognize
the A2620 board. $35.00 took care of that. It was out of warranty by the
time I added the A2620 board. Oh, and I have the A1000's original monitor.
It too hasn't given me any problems.
Am I lucky or were you unlucky? I have worse luck buying telephones,
answering machines, VCRs, and can openers than I have had with my
Commodores. If there was some sort of lemon law for computers like there
is for autos, you would win it. I think it would be appropriate to write
to the top management at customer service at Commodore with a list of the
things that have gone wrong with your A2000 in just 3 months. It might get
no attention, on the other hand, it might stir them up.
By the way, did you happen to buy mail order?
