Now, what I wanna know is ... IS ANYBODY EVER GOING TO KNOW THIS BESIDES
THE FAITHFUL (MEANING WE HACKERS)???

If this is true, it would be a beautiful way for Commodore to get
big time penetration into the Bu$ine$$ Market.

Whether the hardware is going to be a reality or not is not my point.
My point is that *if* this system is going to exist, YOU HAD BETTER
DAMN WELL ADVERTISE THE S--T OUT OF IT, COMMODORE!!!

BTW, sign me up for one of these.  I'd love to shove it in the faces
of a few (Sun) Unix snobs here who think my Amy is a mere toy.

Also, can anybody tell me if it will be possible to run Xenix on the
PC side of the A2000 when the '286 Bridge Board comes out, or is the
software on the Amiga side that controls this show MS-DOS specific?

Wouldn't that be nice, having 2 multi-tasking operating systems
running on 1 machine?
