I've been reading that in order to do any sort of high-end rendering, I
should have more memory, and perhaps a fixed storage device. Since I'm
fairly new in the Amiga world, I'm fairly unfamiliar with the particular
brands of hardware available for my Amiga. If possible, could you perhaps
suggest a good ram expansion kit available? I am operating on an Amiga 500
currently with plans on purchasing an Amiga 2000 in the near future.
(Perhaps in the next 3 – 4 months).
The work you are doing at Impulse sounds quite exciting. Currently, I'm
working partially in the graphics field – mainly mapping. We are working on
a contract that incorporates a packages, Intermaphics developed by Prior in
Canada for us into our CCIS system. We're using an Intel 386 (running at 15
mhz) with a Matrox 1281 graphics card hooked into a Hitachi 20" graphics
monitor. We are also using an Electrohome large screen projector to project
the graphics image (resolution of aprox. 1280 X 1000). Unfortunately, due
to the corporate management we are not actuallyD=#ing , but using. As I've
read earlier, y+ are promoting the Amiga – I'm very interested in
developing graphic applications for my Amiga… I'm fairly well versed in
C, though am at a stand-still deciding which compiler to purchase – the
Aztec or Lattice system. We use both at work, though I hear that the Aztec
is the efficient and best choice to go with..
