That may have been the first US show with the A2500/20, but the actual A2500/20
started shipping in late November or early December of '88 (I don't recall the
exact date).  I think A2620s became available alone in January or February.
The A2500/30 did come out in November of '89.  The A3000 was first introduced 
on April 24, 1990, and shipped, right on schedule (as announced in April), in 
June of 1990.  The A3000 shipped with Version 2.00 of the operating system;
they're now up to at least 2.02 out there in the real world.
