According to the makers, Michigan Software, the Insider II is a redesigned
Insider I.  It increases the added memory from 1 meg to 1.5 megs and uses
the newer 256x4 chips.  The unit is smaller than the old board which might
mean that it could work in amigas other than the 1000, but you should check
with them to be sure.  It has a battery backed clock.
	Prices (from memory):  $429 with 1.5 Meg, $349 0K

I'm not affiliated with Michigan Software, other than being the happy owner
of an Insider I for over 2 years.
