- I remember it. I don't know anyone who bought it. This was back in the
- days when you couldn't find A1200's anywhere. I don't think it's made
- anymore. The deal was that it had a CD32 motherboard inside and some
- additional boards attached to give it stuff like a floppy connector, CPU
- slot like the A1200's, serial, parallel, etc. The ad was claiming it was
- the best Amiga price/performance ever. No way! I think it was
- substantially overpriced. You could buy an A1200 and expand it and get
- the same thing for considerably less. I guess the price was sort of
- justified in a way since A1200's were very, very difficult to find.
- Anyway, it was a big price increase over what stuff costed before C= went
- under.
