You don't need to have an open slot at all to use the 2024. It plugs right into the regular 23 pin video port. The Moniterm Monitor needs to use the video slot though, they have the special 'Hedley' hardware external to the monitor. You will need 2.0 to easily use the high res modes of the 2024 though. -- -Bill Seymour billsey@agora ***** American People/Link Amiga Zone Hardware Specialist NES*BILL ***** Bejed, Inc. NES, Inc.

(Don't >know if JC Pennys or Sears or ... can get them though...) I just spoke to Betsy Gombarick, a Commodore representative for the Educational Sales program. She indicates that they have no idea when the 2024 will be available. Some early orders were filled, but the monitors had problems and they are waiting until they can get a new supplier to deliver them. She said they had no idea when they expected to fill the outstanding orders. While they are willing to give refunds, that doesn't help people who ordered under the Educational Purchase plan, since it will then cost more when those people try to order the monitor without a CPU at some later time.
