According to the CBM folks at the Amiga World convention last week I can
answer some of these questions.

>1) Will the de-interlacer chip in the A3000 be available for the A2000/2500?

    NO. I was kind of upset about this myself. The new 2.0 OS has a 
	"productivity mode" which will eliminate flicker without the 
	de-interlacer chip, but if you do have a multisync monitor.

>2) Does the de-interlacer chip in the A3000 do everything the flickerFixer 
>   does?  Does it properly buffer frames (i.e. no object splitting during
>   rapid movement)?

    YES. YES.


>3) Will there be any sort of educational discount for the A3000?
>4) Will there be any trade-in for A2000's?

    They wouldn't discuss these questions at this time.

>5) Will 16-bit memory boards (like a Supra, say) work in the A3000?
>6) How much CHIP RAM, 16-bit RAM, and 32-bit RAM can be autoconfigured?
