| What do you mean just the shell for $350?

| re .1
These are the new ones that hold 4meg, autoboot, and have the autoboot
toggle on the front.
re .2
It was $350 for everything but the drive and the extra memory,
including the power supply, fan, 16k buffer, SCSI interface, and
enclosure.

Do you have to pay extra for a 0k memory board? If so, do you know how
much? This conference will squeeze the details out of any volunteer. ;-)

| re .4
I think at one time you had to pay extra for the autoboot
feature and maybe the memory board, but in the current version
that's all included. You just buy three components: the box,
the drive, and (optionally) the SIMMs. You don't need to buy
extra boards or whatever.
The GVP seems to require that you have the 1.3 ROM installed. If
you try to init the harddrive without it (as I did) you
eventually fail when the init procedure can't find a driver
called scsidev.device, which GVP doesn't include on its boot
disk.
As for the difference in price, I think it's because the Abel
version comes with a Quantum drive, and the setup I bought from
TML has a drive from Seagate. If you wanted a Quantum drive,
the TML price would have been $900.
Re .-1:
Don't know whether it'd accept an ST-506 type drive. You'd have
to ask TML's tech about that one. I was told that it's take any
SCSI drive, with no mention of what else might be okay.
