[ "Send lawyers, guns, and money ..." ]

At the BADGE meeting last week, I had a conversation with "a reliable
source" about the Sidecar, and its availability.  According to this
person (and it *is* someone who should know), the Sidecar has passed
VDE testing (VDE is the German equivalent of the US FCC).  It has
supposedly been released for manufacturing (in Germany), and should
be available now, or in the *very* near future (again, in Germany).

At this point, I have to consider this to be "a reliable rumor".  I'm
posting this with the hope that someone on the net in Germany can
confirm the story, or provide some additional information (how many
expansion slots, price, etc.)  Anybody know/heard anything?

Of course CBM could always make a statement, too!

BTW, the same person also said the German version of the Genlock was
available there now too ...
