Attention anyone at C= CATS group (Dave Haynie should answer this one). I for one am very curious as to whether or not C= has forgotten about the 2630 board - ie. where's the wonderful 32 bit wide expansion board that was dangled in front of our noses oh so many moons ago ?? Remember : "and it will be able to handle up to 64 Mb" ?? So Dave, what ever became or said beast ?? Please reply to the general 'ALL' forum as a specific reply will probably not reach me. Thanks for any hope you can give us. Terry Smallwood --- * Via ProDoor 3.1R

Commodore has never announced plans to build such a board. Very simply, I put the capability in for such a thing because it was reasonably easy to do. It's up to Commodore or one of the 3rd parties to build such a thing, just like any other expansion board. >So Dave, what ever became or said beast ?? If Commodore wants it as a product, it would be technically very easy to do. Perhaps you all can convince them. If not, maybe a 3rd party company will build one, there certainly were a couple of them interested in this. Such a product may not produce enough volume for Commodore to consider, but might be just the thing for a smaller operation. Certainly GVP has sold a number of 32 bit DRAM daughterboards for their 68030 board. >Terry Smallwood -- Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Amiga 3000) "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: hazy BIX: hazy Get that coffee outta my face, put a Margarita in its place!
