    If you look hard enough for the answer, it will eventually 
come to light.

I did and BYTE was the source. 

    The August, 1985 issue has a very complete discussion of the 
operations of Commodore's latest. Some items showcased are;

        The custom chips (memory management, graphics/sound, 
                          I/O)

        "Libraries" in the 192K ROM-based operating system

        System bus

        Multitasking

        The "Copper" - a coprocessor inside the animation chip that
        runs its own program.

        ...and much, much, much more.

    Also shown are examples of the high resolution multi-color 
graphics that the machine is capable of generating.

    Price: $1295

    When: September, 1985 (latest info I have received)
