Hmm.  Perhaps at least as far as Go Amigo is concerned.  A local Amiga dealer
has at least one demo unit, and I was under the impression that they also had
them forsale, although perhaps not "for immediate delivery".

Could CA ship demo units before complete FCC approval?

I think that this may have been beaten to death, but...

I finally have enough bucks to buy some kind of expansion box for my 500.
I have read some of the California Access reviews of the Bod. Bay but I was
wondering if anyone here has actually purchased it.               

My questions:

-Is it reliable?
-When are the video slots coming out?
-Does it support the Bridge Board?
-Will it work with accelerators?
-Do extra floppies take up slots?
-Will A2000 hardcards/ram expanders work?

Basically, except for the video, will I have a proper A2000 clone?

Please reply, If this is any good I want to order it within the next couple
of days.  

Thanks,
      Walter Lawlor
