Here in Boulder, CO I was talking to a local dealer and he was telling me that the new Amigas were shipped with a daughterboard attached to the Agnes which, in turn, is socketed in the motherboard. He implied that this was new, that previously the Agnes was simply socketed in the motherboard directly. Is this true? If so, any reason? (prep for the ECS, perhaps?) --Lee

No, this person sounds rather confused. Some A2000's do have a little tower board over by the DRAM to make static column DRAM work with the Amiga chipset, but Agnus sits tight in her normal socket... -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@uunet.uu.net Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)
