 Has anybody got any details about the new official Bridgeboard A2088T
from Commodore (made in Braunschweig, Germany). What I've heard of it
sounds great: NEC V20 processor (4,77/ 7,15/ 9,54 MHz), 640K on board, 
speaker (Piezo-peeper) on board, MS-DOS 4.01, and the best of all:
The internal Amiga-drive can be used by the A2088T as fully MS-DOS-
compatible diskdrive (multiplexed, like with programs as MSH).

What is unclear to me is the following: is it possible to have multiple
multiplexed drives (say df0: (3.5 ") and df1: (5.25 "), both internal),
or can only one drive be used this way? 
Furthermore, will it be possible to 'update' from the old A2088 to the
new A2088T?? (I mean, will Commodore make it possible for people who own
the A2088 to trade it in, for a reasonable price, against the new board??)
