The current USA pricelist only lists an 2088 bundled with the 5.25" drive.
However a recent dealer service memo details a "voids your warranty" change
to the drive select lines to make the A1020 respond as drive A: so you
can boot from it.  Obtaining the 2088 without having to pay for the 5.25"
drive or disposing of the drive is still your problem.
