I've been out of the Amiga picture for a while now, but I recently dusted off my 1000. Now I want to get caught up on the Amiga track as quickly as possible. I'd appreciate it if I could get some answers to the following questions. Please excuse any stupidity on my part — it's been a while. 1. I'm looking for a SCSI controller board for my Zorro II card cage (Escort 2 by Expansion Technologies). I would be interested in buying a used board, if it is still supported. I assume there is no way to autoboot on a 1000; is this correct? 2. I have Lattice C 4.0 (and several previous versions), but I've never received an upgrade notice for 5.x. I'd like to upgrade — does anyone know the cost? Also, can I get a discount on C++? Is it a compiler or preprocessor? Personal to John Toebes, ex-classmate: How you doing, John? Long time no hear from… 🙂 3. What is the recommended way (cost-wise, compatibility-wise) for me to upgrade to a 68020/30? I currently have a 68010. 4. I know the following doesn't really pertain to my 1000, but I'm curious. What can I expect from C= concerning new hires losta colors non-interlaced video modes? When? When is WB 1.4 due? Sorry to ask so much, but it's been a long time. It's good to be back. brent
