- Did you mean "in this case" or were you actually referring to the casing
- of the new slot box Amiga? WILL it be an all in one box or will you
- still have to "add" a tower case to it to get the number of slots you
- want seeing as how it was mentioned in the press release that it would be
- up to the user how many slots they want due to the "modularity" of the
- design. The press release still pretty much described the current A1200
- case and ports with the possibility of adding on/adding to a 3rd party
- tower case. Will we see a built in keyboard or an external one?

- Seeing as how a CD-ROM will be coming with it, wouldn't a modification to
- the CD-32 case and motherboard design have been much better then trying
- to redesign the A1200 motherboard as originally was stated for the
- A1200+? I am sure it would have been easier to add SIMM sockets to it,
- add a connection for a detachable keyboard and add the expansion bus to
- it along with some slots (along the other side) and the floppy drive
- below the CD-ROM drive along with the other standard A1200 cables and
- ports on back. (See the new "Web PC" being advertised) - then again.. this
- would limit the speed the CD-ROM drive would be at until a new design.
