It makes the most sense if any upgrade we devise is as simple to install
as possible, say unplugging a chip and installing a new one.  As to the
A2320, I cannot comment about possible fixes and the like - I like my job to
much!  Anyway, it warms my heart to know that many people really like
the performance and value of my first project at Commodore!  I hope
there are many, many more to come!

Regards,
Scott HOod
