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

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. -Mitsu ------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't even work for C-A, so who cares what I say anyway.
