Computer Mail Order in Penn. is doing the same thing, but for $199.  You
give them your serial number to satisfy the trade-in and then can turn
around and sell your A1000 for whatever.  I just ordered my B2000 with HD
controller and 40M HD for about the same amount it was going to cost for
add-ons (without a DMA controller) for my A1000!

Whether or not Commodore is supporting the $300 buy-back, every dealer that
I talked to in the Seattle area is doing it, too.
