. Commodore's policy applies only to the A1000 computer.  You'll either
. have to sell the memory card privately, or work out a deal with the
. dealer, or of course, keep it.

	The Starboard 2 now has a extender board for the A2000 so you
	can plug your Starboard 2 memory board into the 2 inch wide
	slot.  The price of the extender board is $39.95 which I saw
	advertised.  I own a Starboard 2 with 2 Megs of memory and
	a new multifunction board and think $40.00 to transfer the
	memory was a great idea.  It seems that Microbotics is going
	to support its old customers.  BTW, they also are advertising
	a SCSI interface for their Starboard product.

	Disclaimer: I am not assocated with Microbotics in any way
		    accept as a satisfied customer.
