I did some of the programming on this project, although, when I left, prices hadn't been established...

I believe I saw one in the March AmigaWorld -- it's the one with all the stuff about sound on the cover. There's a big, shallow hardware rundown in it, and somewhere there's mentioned a touch-screen for the 2000; I think you plug it into the video slot. Hope this helps, John
