        This is really irritating.  The PARALLEL PORT on the A500, and
      perhaps the A2000, is unpowered.  This means devices built to
      use the A1000 PAR port probably won't work on the new machines.

        C= could have:

                1)  Maintained compatablility between the PARALLEL and
                   SERIAL ports of all machines.

                2)  Have designed the A500 to accept A1000 expansion
                   boxes.

                3)  Included a A1000/A500 type expansion connector on
                   the A2000 in addition to the internal slots.

        Oh Well!...  it's too late now!

                                Thanks, A
