Kivolowitz) Organization: Whole Earth Lectronic Link, Sausalito CA Lines: 83 Keywords: old pricing corrected Summary: Quoted ASDG pricing Not Current In the referenced article, mention was made to ASDG's pricing for Amiga memory expansion. This information is outdated. Also, here's some additional information: .5M $370 (unsocketted) .5MS $445 (socketted) This is a 2M (see below) with only .5Mbytes installed. Upgradeable by user to 2Mbytes. 1M (noone ever buys this) 2M $750 2MS $800 This is a 2Mbyte Zorro expansion board with 0 wait states and full autoconfig. It makes a great ram expansion for TurboAmiga's. All ram products: o come with the RRD(tm). This is the ASDG Recoverable Ram Disk which allows up to an 8Mbyte fully AmigaDOS compatible ram disk to be recovered (instantly) upon rebooting after crash, reset, reboot, or guru. o come with 1 year warranty and full set of diagnostics. Quantity pricing to user groups (etc): At five "units" (units defined as any combination of 2M's or .5M's): 2M from 750 to 700 .5MS from 445 to 400 At ten "units": 2M from 700 to 675 .5MS from 400 to 370 Special Pricing for people who purchase before February 1st: if you bought 1 2M, get second 2M for $499. if you bought 1 .5M or .5MS get 2M for $549. Rack products: Mini-Rack-B DOES NOT EXIST! Rather, it did exist at one time but was disappointing to us, so we trashed the design and went with: Mini-Rack-D $325 Two slot FULL Zorro. With power internally (for *both* slots - some people!). Does not pass the bus (but...see further down). Measures 6''w 10''h 10''d. Does not obscure mouse or joystick ports. Very fine quality metal construction. Has cabeling ports in rear. Mini-Rack-C $195 Two slot Zorro SUBSET. Same metal work as MRD. Does *not* have +12V or -5V available to expansion bus. Great for interim expansion or for people who want memory only. But... Both racks can be bought back at full purchase price by ASDG when our four slot (top mounting) rack becomes available. In essence, if you want a four slot box (with internal disk mounting etc) we'll loan you a 2 slot now (with your MRC or D purchase price acting as a deposit on the four slotter). New Product Announcement: 8MX A single 8Megabyte Full Zorro memory board to be available around March to April of 87. This board will run with 2, 4, or 8Mbytes installed. Also, to the best of our knowledge, noone else can make the following statement: It will also run with 6Mbytes. (There is no generic autoconfig support for a 6Mbyte board on the Amiga). We provided this extra logic so that people with 2M's can get a full 8Mbytes without pain or hassel. Yes, we have plans for a disk controller. Unlike any available today. Hope this clears things up.
