I believe the (vaporware) 2000-and-1 box offers the equivalent of the A2000 co-processor slot. I remember Perry explaining that was exactly the reason the box was supposed to mount on the side of the A1000, rather than sit on the top or bottom. The rest of the stuff is true, but progress is inevitable. I wish some of the people on this net would get that through their thick skulls. --M Michael Portuesi / Carnegie Mellon University ARPA/UUCP: mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu BITNET: rainwalker@drycas "Paradise is exactly like where you are right now...only much, much better" --Laurie Anderson, "Language is a Virus"
