Uhuh. > To end all this petty bickering, Commodore DOES come out with a new model every year. In 1990 they came out with the 3000. In 1989 they came out with the A2000HD and A2500/20 and A2500/30. This year there is CDTV and the Unix Amigas, and probably a tower Amiga called the A3500. > Or how about a SCSI-2 Nubus busmaster SCSI coprocessor.
