Summary: Expansion box rumors

I just heard recently that C-A threw out their proposed "zorro standard" bus
architecture and replaced it with another so it would be upward compatible
with the new Amiga (code named Ranger). If this is true, it's no wonder that
3rd party developers are slow to come out with products for the Amiga. I
have been considering a hardware project but after this change, I'm going to
wait until Commodore stops saying "preliminary" when referring to a standard.

I also heard that since C-A changed the bus, expansion boxes with a truly
standard bus have been pushed back another couple of months.

Can anyone at C-A comment on this?
