Bill,

I have addressed this issue before, but will repeat the information in
case you missed my previous article.  The following information was 
valid as of early May.

The Amiga 2000 should be available sometime 1st Quarter of 1987.

You can currently upgrade your Amiga 1000 to an Amiga 2000 by installing a
MC68010 CPU (See Fish disk #17?, I think) and purchasing an expansion box
that conforms to the Amiga Expansion Architecture.  The list of manufacturers
I know that are currently marketing expansion boxes follows:
	
	Byte by Byte
	Cardco
	The MicroForge
