Hmmm, this sounds great. I have been waiting for the A2620 ever since on the
Hannover Fair '88 that Commodore guy told me that "production will begin next
week".
I am, however, worried that if I grab this thing as soon as it gets available,
I might be in for some nasty surprises like "minor design changes". I still
remember the A2090/A2090A case, I have an old A2090 in my A2000 and don't
know for sure yet if I will ever be able to autoboot from it.

So here's my two questions:
1) is this card in its final state?
2) is the UNIX port ready, i.e. will it become available at the same time
   as the A2620?

BTW, it's great that you guys from CATS are available here on Usenet for
questions. This shows that you are comitted to the Amiga.
