- Here in Europe it always takes some additional time for upgrades to hit
- the streets, it should be RSN.
-

- Commodore UK will do it, of course.

-
- No, the A300 was the name of the now called A600 during development. To rename
- it was a last-minute decision. Precisely, we got our prototype A600 for
- testing in a box labelled A300. And on the main board of the A600, you
- probably still find this A300 marking.

-
- No. 3.1 will be a software. To put AA into older models would need a complete
- redesign of the software, a motherboard swap. No guarantee that this will
- happen. But to run 3.0 or 3.1, you don't necessarily need the AA chips.
