there should be a merlin message here somewhere…. else I'll have a look and see if I can get some specs again. It cost 699 DM approx. which is approx 1100U$ …. but hardaware here is usually dearer than in the states. Sean. Flying low after a long night at the controls.

699DM = 1100U$???? Not last time I looked- aren't these reversed? Otherwise 699DM is more like US $450.00 // -Karl \X/ Amiga and Autopilot: The *only* way to fly!

If it's $450, I'll have a stroke. My diamond viper was $400 and that can't do as much as the merlin. (can't do anything considering it only works with IBM's :> ) Dave Elite MicroComputers – Flying high on AutoPilot

I expect the the numbers were just reversed, and that the Merlin will cost @$700 over here. // -Karl \X/ Amiga and Autopilot: The *only* way to fly!

OOOOOPPPPPSSSS!!!! Hmmm I think that was a BIG mistake on my behalf… but then I hope that all ye folk out ther take into account a long night and early morning before the message was written… SORRY. 🙂 I think that money and long nights don't go together… Maybe it's just money and be*r but who knows. Sean. Flying like most pilots after a long party… ON AUTOPILOT!

Sean you got it the wrong way around – 699 DM is _not_ (699 x 1.5) but rather (699 / 1.5) which would be US$ 466 (for the 2 Megs version) ;^) // Chris coming in from Germany \X/ on AutoPilot 1.051……….

I know. I know. I'm really ashamed of myself for spouting such rubbish. I think that it's good that I have software that does the addressing of my mail for me or that one would have ended in a NASA space laboratory. 🙂 I swear it won't happen again….. Sean. Lying fast asleep in the cockpit :-).
