Of course, without ECS chips you don't get any of the ECS features. I have no knowlege of how 2.0 will be distributed/installed by the various sales companies for machines other than the A3000. I would suspect a bundle with ECS chips, and ROM available separately, but I don't know for sure and don't quote me on it, it's just a guess. -- Randell Jesup, Keeper of AmigaDos, Commodore Engineering. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!jesup, jesup@cbmvax.commodore.com BIX: rjesup The compiler runs Like a swift-flowing river I wait in silence.
