- Unless of course, they just made the A1200+ with a CPU slot for the A3640.
- That would make AT's life a tad bit simpler and would give Phase V folks an
- easier time by making only one PPC accelerator for the A1200+/A3000/A4000(T).
- This way AT could sell the A1200+ with or without the A3640 and have the 040
- as an option.
