You don't have enough memory. You know you don't. Wouldn't you like to add 8 megs of cache to your hard drive? That would really speed up those file loads…and Lightwave could sure use the extra overhead…not to mention shadowing your entire workbench partition to ram for that 10% speed boost… In any case, you need to buy my 8-meg RAM board (with a neato-keen builtin SCSI controller) for the extremely modest price of $200. This is a GVP board and has been tested in A2000 and A3000s with no operational difficulties… Truth in advertising: this is 24-bit RAM. An A3000 can certainly use it, but you'll be better off configuring all eight megs as a RAD: disk or you will see a performance hit when your system starts using it. Post a note if you want it. Offers considered. Trades for neat hardware or software DEFINITELY considered. I now have an A1200 or I would never give up my precious RAM. Buy my RAM…you are getting sleepy…very sleepy…this ad makes a lot of sense…take out your checkbook…

Speaking of your Ram/SCSI card you said: >Truth in advertising: this is 24-bit RAM. An A3000 can certainly use >it, How can that be 24-bit memory? I thought it was either 16 or 32-bit memory? Do you have a SPECIAL version? :^) <<< Tony D. Tracer >>>

All I know is when I run sysinfo it tells me that the memory is 24-bit DMA. Further deponent knoweth not. Bob

It's 16 bit RAM in the 24 bit DMA space… (Just FYI, 🙂 Bob Comer — Flying high and fast with my A1200HD'030 on Autopilot! From Cheyenne, Wyoming U.S.A

Interesting sales technique! (Sorry, I have an A1200 too… You want to buy an MBX1200 cheap? I upgraded to an '030!) Bob Comer — Flying high and fast with my A1200HD'030 on Autopilot! From Cheyenne, Wyoming U.S.A

Robert, What do you consider "cheap" for the MBX1200? And, is it an MBX1200z? Thanks. Joe

$85 shipping included, unless you might have something you might want to trade… (Always willing to negotiate!) Nope, it's not the MBX1200z and I already sold my separate clock. It does have a 16Mhz 68881. Bob Comer — Flying high and fast with my A1200HD'030 on Autopilot! From Cheyenne, Wyoming U.S.A.

Bob, OK, thanks. I have a friend who is about to get a 1200 and is also looking at a MBX1200 for the machine (no idea of the price, though). I'll let him know and get back to you. (I, on the other hand, am in the market for an 40/50 MHz M1230XA!) Joe

Get the 50 (that's what I have) if you can afford it, it has the MMU to run all thoses neat things like gigamem, enforcer, Apple emulation products, and any possible OS virtual mem that might come along eventually (I hope)!

Bob, I just talked to my friend, it turns out that he wound up with an MBX1200z along with his new A1200. Sorry for holding you up. Joe
