	Didn't think of that.  It doesn't have to be at the C-A level...
they could just mandate dealers stick in the 256K of ram themselves.

	The rumors I've been hearing since about four or five months
ago was the 256K add-on was definitely OUT in the new machine.
No one I've ever heard of has a 256K machine; all the dealers I
have seen sell 512K as the standard configuration.  In any case, it is
a lot cheaper to produce a standard 512K machine rather than a
add-on machine; you save parts costs, RF shielding, edge-connector,
etc.  I think, however, the standard config for the 68010 machine
will be 2 meg (don't quote me on that.)

	These are all RUMORS, RUMORS, RUMORS.
