If this is false, this is really an irresponsible rumor.

If this is true, then why? None of the enhancements I've heard of for 1.4
require anything a 1000 can't provide. If it requires more than 512K of CHIP
RAM just to run, then it's not going to be so nice for 500 people, either.

If it's just a matter of them not providing Kickstart 1.4 on a floppy, that's
plain stupid. Besides, aren't there ways to install kickstart ROMs in a 1000?

Other than supporting big CHIPs, there isn't anything a 500 has that a 1000
doesn't have.
