    describing the Cumana COM 201 Ram-hardisk interface. It comprises a
    half meg memory plus clock and an ST506 interface !, it seems its on
    offer at 49.95 (previously 145.00 pounds)

5300.1	OF COURSE IT SHOULD WORK!	SUBURB::HAWKESM		`Tue Dec 24 1991 06:48`	10
	I cannot answer your first question. But It should work on the new Amiga 500+. Everyone seems to be giving this new Amiga+ so much stick, just because of the software incompatability problem. I personally think its great. All peripherals that worked on the old Amiga 1.3 should work with the Amiga+. Also I've just bought Populous 2... What a stunning game !!! Hawkesy.

	Thanks for your reply, the reason I ask about peripheral compatability is that the new is the 500+, I understand has a different pin allocation within the trap door. any views.....? Regards Trevor
