When Data Systems West in Sherman Oaks delivered an A-2000 to the entertainment industry (some of our machines were involved with the early days of "Babylon 5" years later), the stock drives were replaced with TEACs. Of course, the typical Amiga system we delivered was close to $20k -- we didn't sell any A-500s as a matter of (the boss's) policy. [I was there mostly to support Unix sales -- but the Amiga gooroo and I were two of the three smokers who had to nick out the back door occasionally -- we exchanged a lot of data.] Eventually I will own an Amiga, but it will be modified much the way David's was and rack mounted. -- Ward Griffiths They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
