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 This information is outdated.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.
