jjfeiler@nntp-server.caltech.edu (John Jay Feiler) (11/27/90)

I was at COMDEX on wednesday, a week and a half or so ago, but have been away
from me newsfeed since just after that, so I'm only just now posting about
what I saw and heard.

From the official glossy flyer I got from the commodore booth:

2 systems available NOW to developers and educational purchasers.
3000UX-100, and the 3000UX-200.

UNIX SVR4 license, X-Windows, Open Look.  Full man pages.
3000UX-100: 4MB fast scram, 1MB chip, 100MB Quantum HD 19ms access.
3000UX-200: 8MB fast scram, 1MB chip, 200MB "  "  "    "  "  

Word of mouth from the CBM rep. I talked to:

Price of $3999 for the 3000UX-100, $4999 for the -200,  the 3000UX-200
also includes an ethernet board bundled with.  Bundles also include
the 1950 monitor.  These prices were confirmed by my local dealer.
Official commercial release at UNIFORUM (feb???)

A2410 video card out in 1Q91. (probably)

I also asked about CDTV.  He said release in about 2Q91, and a CD-ROM drive
for the Amiga line will be released at the same time.
