Yes, at LEAST one Meg! Adding a one meg board to my system really changed the character of the Amiga - from being able to barely run one application at a time to being able to really multitask! I now ALWAYS have at least two CLIs active, usually an editor running, and something else going on at the same time. As far as 2 disk drives go, I don't agree. With a machine of the power described in the preceeding articles, most people will probably want a hard disk... save me the $300 for the second floppy and apply it toward a hard disk please! Gary
