     You've got mail!  :)

     Aside from that, this is working out well.  Managed to figure out thanks
to the beginning help from the local Amiga group and a manual I picked up the local used computer store how to backup the startup disks, and now things are sailing much better.  Running Term-030 and Workbench off two floppies and a good sized ram disk.  :)
     Still would love it if PCMCIA cards could be used on this model, but that
might just be a A1200 thing.

     What kind of memory cards could be used on the A1200 (and other Amigas
with the PCMCIA slot?)


     I think the keyboard is finally getting most of the rust knocked off of
it.  I took it apart to try to clean it... (A2000 keyboard) Impossible.  But it did remind me of how the Atari 800 keyboard was made... once again adding fuel to this feeling a lot like the Atari 800 days... which is what I wanted in a way.  The feel and excitement of the Atari 800, but with a system that can do what I want now, and a little more modern than the 800.  Making that Jay Miner connection, it seems to have worked.  :)

     Take care!
