Well, as noone else of C= answers, here some infos of someone who has at all
SEEN this device (hope this all isn't secret anymore...):
It IS an A500 1 MB with a CD Player. Normally it is supposed to come only
with a remote control to use it as an intelligent CD player. There shall
also be an infrared remote mouse, joystick, and the normal A2000-like
keyboard, all of this optional. So the A500 IS the master, but normally
it doesn't show. 
(All info subject to change every minute...)
