From discussions I've had with Commodore dealers, and looking
at demo models of the 3000UX, it seems to be that
a)the 3000UX is equipped with more memory and a bigger drive
5/9 meg and 100/200 meg drive. Presumably this is for overhead.
b)there is a three button mouse for use with UNIX
c)eventually it is supposed to ship with the ULowell board, giving
expanded megapixel color displays.
d)eventually it will be released for the regular 3000's, but in what
form remains to be seen
note-the demo I've seen is in b&w (that's what's currently shipping)
