   The Zeus had a special configuration, and this was known even back then. I   
   stuck to Phase5 and didn't run too badly. Even repairs of P5 products are

   possible here in Europe, but the price is hideous if one looks at the   
   performance of the hardware.

   I remember the prices. I also know that 2 GB of 266 MHz registered ECC RAM    
   cost   
    me something like 500 US-$ now. It's just insane. I have more than 480 MB of   
   diskspace on my BBS machine (4x120 in RAID5, 2x120 in RAID1), and I'm slowly   
   starting to fill up that space. snoop.alphanet.ch simply has too much   
   horsepower now,   
       
   I'd need to find a way to transfer my measly 7 GB of files from my old A2k to    
    Unix machine and extract the data in the file descriptions, but this could   
   turn out to be very interesting. Since all my Amigas with SCSI are dead, this   
   is not easily possible as I used PFS instead of FFS.   
      
   Unless of course somebody knows to read a PFS filesystem under Linux....

   I don't know if Santa registered a special present for me, but I already have    
    IBM RS6000 with two PowerPC CPUs, running on AIX (I need a platform that    
   will   
   run SAP for me).   
      
   DS>  BTW, checkout the AmigaOne-Lite at soft3.com before deciding anything!   
      
   www.soft3.com is a website in Spanish, and my Spanish ain't really good.
