You're gonna get flack about building this news group, but I'm on your
side - long live net.micro.amiga!!

Here's a couple of questions for you:

- how wide is the on-board data bus 8? 16? 32?

- how wide is the data bus that goes off board?
  does it require any extra wait states?

- Does your machine have the DOS in ROM or RAM?
  (I think most of us would prefer the RAM variant - maybe we can
  pursuade Amiga/Commodore to forget about ROMing it.)

- I gather the coprocessors can do line drawing. About how many lines
  per second can they draw? How much does bogging the coprocessors
  down really slow down the 68K?

- How's the documentation you get? How much, how complete?

- What software do you get with it? (BASIC and/or Logo I don't care about)

There, that should keep you busy for a while!
