Could you let us in on just what IEEE 959 is? I have long longed for
a low-cost widely-used bus for the Amiga, and this sounds like just
what the doctor ordered. A lot of applications have to little a market
for the overhead of a full autoconfig board.

Personally I'd hoped for a SOTS Apple-][ bus.

And... more commercialism... how's the 2000-and-1 coming?
