I have had a spec sheet on this for a few weeks.  I haven't heard anything
about it from anywhere else, including here, which seems odd.  And I don't
know anything about availability or price.  I just picked it up at a store.
But from the specs it seems to be just an Amber chip on a card for the 2000.

Well, it says on my sheet that it does live in the video slot and I can't
see any kind of passthrough (though how they'd do it I can't imagine) in
the photo.

If anyone needs full info on this I guess I could be persuaded to mail or
even post the specs from the sheet but basically they pretty much match
the specs for the Amber chip on the 3000.
