431.0. "Turbo Amiga sale" by ELWOOD::PETERS () Wed Apr 01 1987 17:01

    
    	I have been talking with Abel supply about some new hardware
    for my Amiga. They want to stock CSA turbo Amiga. They have offered
    a very good price if I can get 3 orders ( mine and two others ).
    You would be placing the order directly with Abel, I just need to
    give them a list of names.
    
    	The CSA turbo Amiga is a Zorro I box. A 68020/68881 CPU card
    running at 14+ MHZ. High speed staic RAM ( 32 bit ). A DMA SCSI
    disk controller and a 20 MB SCSI disk.
    
    	The CPU card will run over twice as fast as the current CPU.
    With the high speed RAM it will run 4 times as fast as an Amiga.
    The 68881 is a Floating point processor that is 40 times the speed
    of the Amiga software floating point.
    
    	The disk controller supports up to 7 SCSI disks of any size.
    It auto configures and is DMA. They sell a SCSI hard disk that fits
    in the box. It holds 20 MByte.
    
    	The memory card is a special high speed static RAM card that
    can perform 32 bit xfers with the CPU card.
    
    
    	The cost
