Only that the current version does not build... at least last time I tried (couple of months ago). > > Well, where can I get more RAM? Ebay?

ZIP, yikes, not sure if I have some of those somewhere. If you need the regular 32MB PS2 SIMMs (the only way to get 128 on an Amiga), I ordered them (and the mem for a couple of the debian/m68k machines) at 18004memory.com. Very good prices and no problems with the mem. Try pricewatch.com for more dealers. I just ordered SODIMMs at memoryx.com, they have good prices, but I haven't received them yet. I do have a bunch of 8MB PS2 FPM(?) modules from the Quadra upgrade, if they could help you (and I'll be in germany in two weeks). > > Nice:) What CPU is this? 030? > > IIRC he has an '060 board, which can accomodate the additional RAM.

I'm really interested in the result here... No, sorry, I do not reboot unless a poweroutage lasts longer than my UPS can handle. This is a buildd. Maybe next year, when the machine is back in germany. Christian
