- Greetings,
-
- I may have the opportunity to get a good deal on a 3000T/040 system
- and am wondering about copmpatibility between it and the 4000
- series. I am into lots of disc space and tape backups, so like the
- idea of the the tower and the 3000 SCSI chain. But I don't want to
- get something that will immediately cause compatibility problems
- (heck, if I wanted that, I'd just keep expanding my 1000.) Does
- the 3000T/040 run Amiga Dos 3.0 or 2.0*? Are there any major
- differences? Will 3.0 4000 stuff run on the 3000T? I know it
- doesn't have the AGA and will probably not ever have it. Are there
- any other critical differences in favor of the 4000 of which I
- should be aware? Will software bought tomorrow work? I am also
- looking for a Fotran compiler which will take advantage of the 040
- chip. Is there such a compiler, or am I stuck to using f2c?
-
- Thanks,
- Scot
- ps any word on an Amiga laptop?
