If you get any well equipped 3000's (or other big box with a FF) in with a NIC card and take trades, give me a shout.  I'm just down the road in RD.

Got a SAM 440 here I may be willing to trade off for an oldie.

Prices are very reasonable anywhere in North America, and outright low for my area.

Both the A4000's I had back in the day (First an '040 model, then an '030 model that I put an '060 and RTG in) came stock with the HD floppies.

I actually bought the A4000 '040 new, then a friend had an '030 one with a 4091 with a large drive he offered to trade me for my '040 model.  Since I was going '060 and RTG anyways, I took him up on the deal.

When I got my A3000 new, the "bundled" (and I use the term loosely) or recommended monitor the local dealer had was the Commodore 1950.

Was a terrific monitor, and I believe I still likely have it stuffed on a shelf in my storage space.  I only quit using it when I got my A4000 and put an '060 and CV64 card in it and I picked up a 17" multiscan monitor at Costco for the ungodly sum of about $600.

Some people had issues with the one switch or one of the resistors in the 1950, but I myself never had a lick of problems with it.

I've got no doubts said 1950 monitor still works fine if I could only recall exactly where I put it, lol.  Said A3000 "bundle" also came with the C= A10 speakers, which were so terrible they sounded like a chunky, elderly man passing wind through a soup can.  Terrible things, those.

The DLG manual have the actual pages, or just the binder and box the binder slides into?

DLG is now freeware on Aminet with a full HTML/AGuide manual, but I lost my printed DLG manual years ago and wouldn't mind another one.

Fun fact:  DLG and TelePro Technologies was based originally in Sask., then just down the road from you in my hometown of Red Deer, which wasn't exactly known as an Amiga hotbed, lol.  I visited their "office" (aka, a room in a basement) 20+ years ago here in RD.
