While I don't want to get into specifics, you're making too big an assumption. There are several routes the A1000 owner who didn't upgrade can take. Two of them are the A1000 rejuvenator and the little rom-board, like the one that's already available for the A1000 (I forget the name at the moment, I should be at home relaxing). There are other possible solutions that we may offer, but I can't say whether we will or not at the moment. To a large extent, other solutions are marketing issues. Hey, we haven't even released A2000 roms yet, wait a bit. There's certainly no technical reason 2.0 can't run on A1000's. In fact, there are a numnber of developers who do right now (though using methods we wouldn't use for actually releasing it to users, but other methods are available). In any case, solutions for using A500/A2000 2.0 roms exist now, so I wouldn't worry too much. -- Randell Jesup, Keeper of AmigaDos, Commodore Engineering. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!jesup, jesup@cbmvax.cbm.commodore.com BIX: rjesup Common phrase heard at Amiga Devcon '89: "It's in there!"
