Yeah, a real shocker yuh?  Several others sent mail on this one, all
saying that CBM bought Ameristar.  BTW: the local Commodore rep and
Ameristar (like Sgt Schultz) won't comment on the buyout.

It is a bit frustrating, after getting the Amiga somewhat accepted here;
I can't get the need hardware.  The two units we have work very well.

I know that for some time Ameristar would not sell to vendors, but seem
to recall that Dale Luck was offering them as a package with X11.  Can 
anyone respond?  I need a source for the board now, not in some future
time when they re-surface.
