  I talked extensively with some German reps about the ATonce. First I asked
him if a 386 is possible. He said no because it would cost too much, and
their goal was to produce a cheap 286 emulator. He also said that the ATonce
drove down the Bridgeboard prices. I also asked him to run some programs,
and he ran DBase, Lotus, Word Perfect, and AutoCad. He showed me the high
res mode, which was pretty good except for the gentle flicker. I then asked
him if a VGA upograde would be a hardware addition or modification to the 
ATonce/Amiga, or if it would be software. He said it would be a software
upgrade, and that VGA will be available soon.
