As mentioned above: difference to 030 around $50 but lets say $100 for fun
Seagate 89MB $270 or
"Connor" 120MB $270
(from the same magazine from Dec. 92)
RAM was the same (2MB) on the PC offer.
Mitsubishi Diamond Scan: $450
That gives us a A1200/030 with 120MB HD and multisync monitor
for $1270
Compared to the ultra cheap 386SX, 85MB HD, cheap monitor
for $1300
no games, same games ... thats always the hen and the egg problem
And of course Toni is right (as always). AGA was not enough.
But that was my point in the beginning: what could C= have done even with nothing better than AGA in 1992. So at least give it a decent CPU and FastRAM and get AA+ ready asap.
