Thank you for this link. I've heard some horror stories about the
Q-Link parties on the east coast. I think this is neat. Do you know
any more about Craig Bruce or Jim Colette? I still have some of my
Commodore RUN magazines too.
I wanted to ask about the Amiga now and the Print Shop and Print
Master. I looked at some of the specs of the Amiga 4000 and see that it
was a contender of the Mac OS and Mac kind of computer because of the
similar chips being used. The 68xxx series of chips for the graphical
user environment, right?
Was the 1581 drive ever compatible with the Amiga line or the Amiga
built in 3.5 backwardly compatible with the C128D?
