	Now...Details on the A1000->A2000 upgrade should be available from

	The best known source is the 100 disk library created by

	groups and some enlightened dealers

	The A2090 disk controller board for the A2000 supports both
	ST506/412 and SCSI disks.  The general idea is that the SCSI
	portion should work with drives currently being marketed for
	use with those Mac type computers.

	We are still working on a 68020 plug-in board for the A2000.  It
	will most likely have a socket where you can plug in an 68881.
	AmigaDOS will automatically make use of the board.  No availability
	date has been announced, and all things are subject to change... 8-)
