Sorry to bother the net for this, but...

could a reliable source at Commodore (best would be Dave Haynie) give a final
statement here on the net about the New 1MB Agnus working in older (pre-rev.6)
B2000s?

At Commodore - The Netherlands, they told a friend it couldn't be done.

If I get this posting, I will send it over to them, and call back often.
If they (known to be lazy) keep on saying "no", I will write a letter to a
Dutch Amiga-magazine. The New Agnus chips are available through a few 
dealers. On the net, some guys said they simply replaced them, but this is
too dangerous to try on my own.

Technical info: I have a B2000 rev. 4.4, A2058 (2MB) rev.4 and A2088 rev.3

PLEASE give some reaction, otherwise lots of Dutch B2000 owners will be left
stuck with 512kB CHIP RAM. This will give the same effect that had A -> B,
people hasitating to invest now ('What will happen when rev.7 comes out?').
or wait for the 2MB Agnus.

Thanks in advance,
