Path: utzoo!utgpu!watmath!watdcsu!scarlett From: scarlett@watdcsu.waterloo.edu (Brian Scarlett) Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga Subject: Misc Questions Message-ID: <5338@watdcsu.waterloo.edu> Date: 3 Dec 88 20:49:12 GMT Distribution: comp Organization: U of Waterloo, Ontario Lines: 26 A few questions from one who knows little; 1. What is the cheapest/best way to increase ram in an a1000 (to at least a meg) from 512k? 2. Is it possible to use other chips with the a1000? ie. 68010 or even a 68020? If so, is it worth the bother? Would software still run? 3. Re:hardrives (minimum of 20 megs) - what is the cheapest/best? 4. Does Cartographic/mapping software exist? ie along the lines of Maps and Legends for the Atari ST? How about Geographic Information Systems? Rather esoteric I suppose but extremely useful. Several GISs exist for IBM clones. 5. Are IBM emulators available? (Sidecar or whatever) Are they fast enough to be useful? Thanks (sorry if this stuff has been asked a million times before) Please respond via email if possible. -- Forgive me Father, for I have sinned B.
