Nope! It's very sad....to even get an Amiga mag we have to wait for
Amiga Format from the UK!

AT just gave up trying to sell Amigas to anyone but video professionals
in the US...well they never even really tried at all. I never understood it
but here if you can't run Word and Excel on it it's not a real computer.
Even Aminet has moved to Germany. I'll say one thing for you guys 
(the Germans) you know a good Os and nice hardware when you see 
it!

Yes I have a AD516 (8tk 16bit) installed in the 3000. I have never heard a 
better sounding card. The Studio16 software syncs with B&Ps even 
displaying the Studio16 windows on the B&P screen. (The AD1012 is 4tk
12 bit mono) I have a Yamaha cdr102 so it's straight to the hd then straight 
to CD. I use Master ISO to burn with and SampleWrench/GigaMem to do
severe track editing, the Studio software is fine for most edits.  If you 
can find some buy one then mail me so I can get another. You can use up
to three for 6in/20tks (I know 8+8+8=24 but you only get 20 max) even mix 
the 1012/516s.
