PMFJI, but why do you want to sell it after only 2 weeks? Is there a compatibility issue with this controller? Also, can a 3.5" drive be mounted directly on the card (hardcard style)? // daniel on autopilot in paradise \X/ powered by intel and motorola

Well, my Amiga has died, and rather than spending money for a new Amiga, I have decided to desert to the PC world 🙁 >> Also, can a 3.5" drive be mounted directly on the card (hardcard >> style)? Yes, a 3.5" drive can be mounted right on the board. – Ken

I can understand people have their reasons for switchig to IBMs, but I hope you don't regret it. I do work with a guy who is a former Amiga owner who now uses a PC and he still swears by the Amiga. He regrets his decision.

Windoze and co-operative multitaksing, the wave of the future. I enjoy it every day at work! I'm looking forward to being forced into an Intel machine at home. NOT!!! Well, OS/2 is quite nice. Windoze/NT holds some promise. Robb (Then maybe Chicago?) Da*nit! The guys at work are just now getting amazed at some things I can do with mi-Amiga, that they can't do with their 486's. I've got an ancient A2000 and could still do most that stuff on my old A1000!!!!

To repeat my favorite Old Days andecdote or downloading (at 1200 baud) and typing a letter on WordPerfect before the '386 had hit the streets, and way before the multi-tasking THEY promised worked….

I have never shown my Amiga 4000 to anyone, PC or Mac user, that was not impressed. I do think that some Amiga owners take what power they have with their machine for granted. Either that or they don't know how to really use their machine. I've had an Amiga since 87 and really didn't learn how to use it until about 2 years ago when I got my first hard drive. That's when I really started utilizing the multitasking.
