     I have seen a clock/calendar card for the new Amiga 500P from
Applied Engineering.

     Since the A500P comes with 1meg, I thought that it was just a
A500 with an A501 installed.  A501's have a clock/calandar.  I am 
confused.  Does the A500P have:

   1) a redesigned motherboard that has the 1meg of RAM chips on the
      motherboard and an empty slot where the A501 normally fits?

   2) a new version of the A501 that does not include a clock/calendar?

   3) a redesigned motherboard that has the 1meg of RAM chips on the
      motherboard but in the location normally reserved for the A501
      and a new case that has no access panel?   (really unlikely)
 
   4) an actual A501 in it's slot, just like normal?   (but why would
      AE sell the clock/calendar???)

   5) some other combination/possibility that I have not thought of?


Just curious,
