864.0. "A500/A2000 tech manual worth it?" by MEMORY::BERKSON (What's that in the road - a head?) Fri Oct 30 1987 19:43

    Has anyone seen the A500/A2000 technical refrence manual which costs
    $40 from Commodore. Is it worth $40? Does it contain information
    relating to the video slot interface (like waveforms, schematics)?

    i ordered it about a week ago.  $40 did seem a bit expensive, but
    do you know of anybody else selling A500/A2000 info?  I figure it is
    like buying the shop manual for your car - you may never have a real
    need to use it, but if you do... it is nice to have it handy.
    
    will post a review when i get it.

TITLE:  Support Materials Available From Commodore      Sept. 1, 1987 
 
 
                      DEVELOPER SUPPORT MATERIALS 
                      =========================== 
                           September 1, 1987 
 
 
  
        The following is a current list of developer support materials 
     available directly from Commodore Amiga Technical Support. 
 
        The version of each item is either an official version number 
     or the release date.  The prices are for orders within the U.S.. 
     Canadians should add $2.50 shipping costs per item.  For foreign 
     orders, add $5.00 shipping costs per item.  All prices are in 
     U.S. dollars. 
 
 
        To order any of these items, send a check or money order made 
     out to Commodore Business Machines, to: 
 
           CATS - ORDERS                <----- (Department) 
           Software Administration      <=\ 
           CBM                          <==\ CATS

     the item(s) you are ordering.  If you are a registered developer, 
     place your developer number on your check and envelope front 
     for faster service.  Delivery may take 4-6 weeks but is generally 
     much quicker.
