No tech support: I guess I wasn't clear. I can't call any CBM number and get a straight answer to a technical question. One like "is it true that the 4.1 Motherboard is listed as 'non-standard' by CBM and therefore hardware that is compatible with CBM standards will not be compatible with the 4.1 motherboard?" Both NewTek and GVP have told me this is true. I have no recourse but to believe them since there is no CBM tech support other than through a dealer who will only charge me $50/hour to get an answer to the question since I didn't buy my machine from him. (As I mentioned, the dealer I did buy from is out of business.) Ive also never heard of a Mac or IBM dealer being such an AH about answering a question. Re: IDE – CBM had to have know that most people (at least initially) that bought 4000's would be Amiga users. Those users have SCSI devices already. SCSI is also a Mac standard and is showing up more frequently for "power users" on clone systems and clone systems running unix derivatives. SCSI prices have gotten fairly reasonable. This particular decision did not show a lot of sensitivity to the users or developers. wmc – via Autopilot!
