- Not the 603, 603e or the 604 but the 620 is...
-
- Apparently the 604 isn't much more than the 603, a few dollars if that in
- bulk, I hope AT use these babies instead of the 603 series...
-
- I was reading in Mac format (I found it...) that Apple got into problems using
- the 603s (the 601 was faster) and switched to the 603e....
-
- I hope AT hasn't been palmed off with the old 603s
