The 24th of April. However, the 2.0 version shown then was hardly the one that shipped in June. At that showing, the A3000 hardware itself was basically finished. Most of the gate arrays were done or going into final revision. The software, on the other hand, was most noticably unfinished. Even the 2.00 that eventually shipped was pretty shabby when compared to what's ultimately going into the ROMs, in terms of both compatibility with 1.3 and bugs. >peter@cs.curtin.edu.au (Home) +61-9-450-5243 -- Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Amiga 3000) "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: hazy BIX: hazy "That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight" -R.E.M.
