	As far as I know, the 2024 should be readily available from any Amiga
dealer. I haven't heard of anything about them being in short supply... So
pretty much any place that sells Amiga hardware could get it for you. (Don't
know if JC Pennys or Sears or ... can get them though...)

:Is it true that the only open slot needed is the video slot on the 2x00?

	You don't need to have an open slot at all to use the 2024. It
plugs right into the regular 23 pin video port. The Moniterm Monitor
needs to use the video slot though, they have the special 'Hedley'
hardware external to the monitor. You will need 2.0 to easily use the
high res modes of the 2024 though.
