Kevin Clendenien makes some observations about my comments about Atari Corp's
redesigning their printed circuit boards...
 
Kevin.. if you can think of a reason why Atari Corp would pay circuit board
designers to redesign the Mega ST motherboard to eliminate the extra RAM
positions, and pay extra to have *TWO* different motherboards produced,
instead of ONE, and have to inventory TWO different motherboards instead of
ONE, as they used to,  ...   I'd like to hear your thoughts...
 
It's always been my understanding of "business" that making one part serve
several purposes is more economical...  unless you're trying to "force"
customers into paying your price for your product...
 
Why would Atari Corp make *TWO* different PC boards, when it would cost them]
more to do it that way...?
 
Still wondering...
