|Hey Marco, is this one verbatim from a Commodore handout? Cause if it is,

|Adding another '851 is a waste of silicon and board space!!

Yep. that's what BOTH press releases on the A2630 and A2500/30 state. Since
I haven't seen such a beast, I have no idea whether the above is actually true
or not.  The press releases seem to be authored by Jim Dondero at 
Fleishman-Hillard, Inc., the current Commodore ad agency.  Marketroids do
not "know computers" (Yes, of course, "Bo knows computers":^)
