There are many ways you can add to your Amiga.
You
can make

more

or
an extra disk drive. Tools for business and
entertainment let you use your Amiga
in
new and exciting ways.
To
print your
projects, you can choose from several printers, including
co

modem connects your Amiga to the outside world via normal phone lines. Other
peripheral add-ons enhance the Amiga picture.
In
this chapter, you'll get a quick look at some currentl y availab
le
peripherals.
Complete instructions for installing and using these add-ons are included with the
peripherals. For more information, and for many peripherals not described here,
see your Amiga dealer.
Precautions for Peripherals
When attaching any peripheral, use only a
cable
that
is specifically
designed
for
the
Amiga.
Using a
cable
that
is
not
properly
wired
for
the
Amiga
may
damage
the
peripheral
and/or
your
Amiga.
You can obtain cables designed
for the Amiga from your Amiga dealer.
If you wish to adapt oth
er
cables for use with the Amiga, see Appendix A,
" Technical Reference," for information about the proper connections.
Before you attach a cable to any
of
the connectors on the back
of
the main unit,
tum

the Amiga. Attaching a cable when the Amiga
is
turned on may reset the
Amiga.
