Hello Karl >>Tell me more about the towers… I am attaching our full price list and specifications at the end. >>Also, I need more info on the bigger SCSI drives At the moment I only have the 50mb and 400mb. The 400mb was manufactured for IBM PS2 model 90 originally and are surplus about 1 yr old. They clock at 1.4mb/sec xfer rate using SysInfo on the Amiga 3000 internal SCSI controller, don't have the access time. They sit about 1/4" taller than most 3.5" drives, which is not usually a problem. They are unused and we offer a 30 day warranty on them and check each one on an amiga beforehand. ——————————————————- Price List 03/10/94 (405) 721-4309 1:147/77.0 (sysop) compuserve 76470,1332 jonest@hfsi.com The Tower As described in spec sheet, with two bays equipped for removable HD cannisters.

Tom – Are these Towers something that is in regular production and generally available, or is this a one time offer. The reason I ask is that the A2000 tower sound real interesting, but is not in my budget for the next couple of months. But I will be looking for one of these soon. (I need a MegaChip and to upgrade PgStream first). But it sure would be nice to get this A2 off my desk and into a tower on the floor. Thanks – Please email me with a price list, if you can.

Hello Roy The Towers will be available for at least that long I think, if the sales can keep justifying it, and that looks promising. Nothing if forever though, who knows? Have you looked at the full price list I posted? Would you be into a 2mb chipram upgrade for $150.00 perhaps? Nice boards with the 2mb agnes and memory included. >>But it sure would be nice to get this A2 off my desk and into a tower on the floor. I'll bet, I actually sit my A2000 tower on the desk top but that is a personal choice. Let me know when you are ready. TTYL Tom Oklahoma City, OK USA jonest@hfsi.com
