I've heard a rumor that the reason that the A500 has its expansion bus on
the  left  is so that it can be plugged into an A1000. The rumor goes on to
say that the A1000 will be able to use the memory, disk, and ports of the
A500. To get even wilder, the rumor monger said that the whole thing would
then function as a shared memory multitasking multiprocessor system.

I've got to say that I don't think this sounds reasonable. But, this rumor
was being spread by an employee of a local Amiga dealer during a recent
users group meeting, and it would be so NEAT, and would allow such AMAZING
multiuser  games, and open up such amazing opportunities for hacking, and ...
that  I just had to ask all you folks in netland if there was even the smallest
chance that this might be true.

		Reality check?
