So now that the 2000 is coming out with its own expansion bus
standard, what's going to happen to Zorro?  Did all of the work that
people have put into designing zorro boards go to waste?

Forcing the Zorro standard into obsolescence only means that both
A1000 AND A2000 owners will have to wait another 6 months before the
third party manufacturers can re-work their product lines to produce
A2000 compatible expansion boxes for the 1000 and develop A2000
compatible boards.  Or does the 2000 have Zorro compatibility in its
slots (I sure hope so)?
