This may be a stupid question, but here goes.  I looked at AmigaWorld yesterday
and saw their comments about the PA.  It is a speedup board which has a 16 MHz
68000 and a slot for the 68881.  I think they had it listed for ~$199 ? to 
buy the 68881 is what another 150 bucks or so? (I don't have a price list in 
front of me.  So supposing I spend 350 for the PA with the 881, will that same 
68881 be usable when the A2620 board arrives?

Will the 16MHz 68881 be able to be removed from the PA socket and inserted in 
the A2620?  What will the clock speed be on the A2620?  What is the projected
price tag on the 2620 (with 0Meg)? What is the Mail Order price tag for the PA?
(Note I didn't buy AmigaWorld or I wouldn't ask the last question.)
