In Europe, home of a Commodore known as a business computer company, an
idea based historically on the popular PET computer with IEEE-488, there
is a third party IEEE-488 board available for the A2000.  I mention this

I left the filer I picked up at EuroDevConII at home: email from serious
inquirers will be responded to w/ details.
