	What are you referring to when you say standard? If I
know where you are coming from (which I probably don't 8) the
only REAL open system is IBM because they allow clones and this
makes it a standard. The Amiga, as well as the Mac and many other
systems, supports the standards of SCSI, Ethernet, Arcnet,
Novell, TCP-IP, NFS, RS-232, centronics parallel. The A3000 has a
VGA-style output port, and so does a just-released add-on board
for A2000s. You can use any printer, not just one made by
Commmodore (thank God! 8). You can use any modem (of course).
etc.
