I have some questions here for the networld:

* I have seen that the "normal" (non-Un*x) A2500 is on sale in the US.
  What's the price? Have they started selling the A2620 card separately
  yet? What's the price? Will a US version of the card work in a PAL
  B2000? (could never be too sure...). What's the specs? From articles
  it seems like there is two cards, one with '20, 1,5 MB RAM and a socket
  for a FPU. The other should be '20, FPU, MMU, 2 MB RAM and an extra
  chip used by the Un*x OS.
* Are there any other good '20 or '30 cards to buy in USA or Germany?
  Specs? Price?
* What's the price for the '286 BridgeBoard? Is it available yet? (here
  in Sweden Commodore says all got lost at the Airport).
* I have a B2000 with 3 MB RAM. How could programs use this memory
  together with 2 MB 32-bit RAM on an A2620 card?
* Will the new graphics chips (1 MB chipmem, more colours etc.) ever
  come out? When? Price?
* I read some months ago (on the net) that CBM had some items you could
  use if you are thinking of programming on the Amiga. One thing was the
  1.2 Native Developers Kit, with 1.3 due out soon. How soon will it come?
  Price? How to order? What else is there?
