It will run on both the 2500/030 and 2500/020, you will by able to buy it for your existing machine. I think the CBM people on this group may not know or may not be at liberty to say how much the software alone will cost. As far as I know the software hasn't even been announced as an add on for existing Amiga w/ MMU systems, so it is not unreasonable for a CBM employee not to quote you a price. It is very possible that a price hasn't even been set yet! I don't have a clue what they will charge for the software, but I do know that the odds are it will be distributed via tape, so you will need to own/rent/borrow a tape drive in order to purchase the software. -Jason- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jason Goldberg UUCP: ucsd!serene!cbmami!jason Del Mar, CA
