Don,
I have an A3000UXB here for eval and it uses about 80meg for all the
system stuff. That includes all the X Window files and the manual pages.
There were two partitions set up for Amigados. A 2 meg for ADos and a 5
meg for "Work". Pretty generous eh? I just discovered that although the
machine is labeled as having 8 meg of ram and a 200 meg drive it really has
only 4 meg (plus 1 meg chip) ram and a Quantum 105 drive. I am glad I
didn't buy this one! This causes X Window to swap to disk (I think) which
makes Open Look GUI just about useless. I ssume more ram would fix this
snag.
I plan to run a cobol( Accu-cobol sp.) benchmark test on it tomorrow
when I get the runtime module. We'll see how it stacks up to the
competition.
