[ REPLACE YOUR 8520.... Oh, I already did that. ]

	July BYTE, 1987, page 142.  An advertisement for a 386-based PC:

-------- Meat of ad follows --------

The 386^16 Monochrome System:
	Intel 80386 running at 16 MHz
	1024K of 0 wait-state static RAM
	1.2 Meg floppy drive
	192 watt power supply
	Battery-backed clock calendar
	Hercules-compatible mono graphics
	2 serial and 2 parallel ports
	Hi-res mono monitor
	150 Meg, 16ms hard drive
		Price: $5899.00

--------

	Now then, let me see.  A-1000: $900.  CSA turbo rack with 512K
static RAM: $3800.  150M SCSI hard drive with controller: probably $3000.
Battery-backed clock: oh, maybe $50.  Card rack with power supply: $400-500.
Total cost of SuperAmiga: $8150.

	PC people have it too easy, and we have it too hard.

	Perry!  Rescue us!

	Amiga prices quoted by me are from my imperfect memory.
