John: I am interested in the pc clone. I have a few questions for you… 1) Would it be feasable to run windows on it? Specifically, Ami Pro 3.0 ? When answering this, keep in mind that the person who will be using the system is currently using a stock A2000 and WordPerfect 4.1, not a very speedy combination. (He is a college student) 2) You stated that it has 2 megs of ram. Would it be easy to raise this to 4 megs? Does it use industry standard SIMMS? If you can answer these questions to my satisfaction, we might be able to make a deal. Thanx… Branden Beachy 72557,107

Yes, it runs Windows. Adding memory would require an additional card… it doesn't use standard SIMMs.

John – I really need the Sony 1302!! My multisync died about 5 months ago – sent it into my repair shop in Denver and they said the flyback was shot. Darn, the thing was less than 3 years old. (probably closer to 2). So I brought out my old 1084 monitor an ran that. (Yes I was using the 1084 with a smoked colored plastic screen in front of it while I listened to all those wheenies cry to Steve about AP flickering – felt like telling them to just where sunglass or get the smoked color plastic 😉 ). Anyway the 1084 died last Wednesday – turned it on an the power ligh just goes on and off and there comes a clicking sound from within in sync with the power light. Now I write to ya on a small green screen using the RCA video out on the back of ye olde 2000. I tell you all this to prove to ya that I REALLY NEED THAT SONY 1302!! Was thinking I would get the new C= 1942, but me friends at the Computer Room in Denver tell me it's $375.00 Hmmm – good price, but I just don't have $375 right now. Was thinking about sellin the MicroWave and a few other things around here in order to scrape up the bucks (Like my stereo and my leather coat) but really didn't want to. So what do ya say – can I have the Sony. Hope you haven't sold it to anyone else yet. If you have – showem this letter 🙂 OnLine since 1982 Roy Pahnke – Casper WY

How about $250 for the Syquest 44 and Seagate70 meg drive pair? I'd spring for the shipping cost (It's only to Sheboygan Co. here in WI 🙂 ). // .Cruising on AutoPilot \X/
