========================================================================

"Commodore Business Machines Inc. of West Chester, Pennsylvania, expands
the AT-compatible market with the introduction of its small-footprint
system, the PC40-III.

The PC40-III runs at 12 MHz with zero wait states and includes 1 megabyte
of RAM expandable to 16 megabytes, 256K of video display RAM, and IBM
VGA-compatible video and graphics modes. A 1.2 megabyte 5-1/4-inch
floppy disk drive and a 40-megabyte drive are also standard. The unit
includes four full-length expansion slots and built-in parallel,
serial, and mouse ports. Available by the end of the year, the PC40-III
costs $2,395, including MS-DOS and GW Basic.

CBM is also showing the Amiga 2500. Although it is powered by the
Motorola 68020 processor, users can add an MS-DOS compatible 286
Bridgeboard to the system, letting it run MS-DOS compatible
software as an AT.

The Amiga 2500 contains 7 full-size internal expansion slots,
including four PC XT/AT and twp dual-purpose slots, a CPU expansion 
slot, and a video expansion slot. The Bridgeboard sells for
$699.95 and is available now."

========================================================

How much of this is rumors, and how much fact - especially the
$700 AT Bridgeboard and A2500 (though that is "showing", not
shipping?
