Does this "wait a while" fall under the catagory of, "Commodore is working
on a chip upgrade, and the effort is near completion," or, "Someone at
Commodore would *like* to design an upgraded version of the chip, but no
one has actually been authorized to go ahead and *do* it", or what?

If there *is* an upgrade effort under way, which monitor(s) will it be for?
