Well, I went and did it.  I traded in my Amiga 1000 for a shiny new Amiga
2000 yesterday.  I'd like to be able to take the external 3.5" floppy disk
drive that I have now and install it inside the A2000.  Yes, I know, you
can use it externally, but I'd like to cut down on the number of boxes
and external cables.  I looks like I need some sheet metal and a front
bezel to make this work.  I wonder if these can be obtained from C-A?

BTW, I got a West Chester version (B2000), the motherboard has a sticker
marked "Version 4.2" on it, and I don't have this funny PAL "tower" 
mentioned earlier on the newsgroup.  The dealer I got it from (Software
Advantage in Rockville, for you locals) just received them the day before.

I was a little annoyed, however, at their insistance that I supply them with
the original manuals.  Since I got my system in Sept/Oct 1985 directly from
Commodore as a developer's system, I didn't receive any (user) manuals.  I
traded in the otherwise worthless 256K expansion memory, rather then pay
for a set of manuals.
