- Yeah, congrats. Pitty about the IDE-interface though. Is putting an IDE-
- interface on the motherboard of the A4000 the biggest-mistake-of-all-time
- kind of thing? I think it is. Is this mistake Bill Sidneys fault? Did Bill
- get fired? Will the A1200 become the most expensive low-end machine of all
- time(when I add a SCSI/2 32-bits interface, 4 MB fast-ram, 120MB Hard-
- Disk and a Commodore 1960 multisync)? I know one thing for shure, I'm gonna
- get a mid-range AGA-machine when commodore (if they)release it. Maby an
- A4000/030 with SCSI on the motherboard(nah, don't think so)?
