I've been trying to update references and information as much as possible - delete dead information (like
links and companies and 'Escom stuff'), offer new information, answer questions I've been seeing asked
on the newsgroups and email. As always, I welcome ALL new information, corrections, etc. Email me
here with this information.
This FAQ is based LARGELY on the original CD32 FAQ Parts 1 and 2. I removed much of the data I
felt was probably grossly out of date, and this included the contributor's list of email addresses. I do not
want these people to be left out - much of this new FAQ is thanks to them. If you contributed to the
original FAQ and wish to have your contact information available here, please let me know and I'll get
you in ASAP.
If you would like to translate the FAQ (and hopefully maintain that localization of it) into other
languages, I welcome your help! Please email me and let me know you are working on it. I'd like to at
least have the languages Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese.
Thank you for continued support and efforts in keeping the Amiga alive and well.
