- CBM has left no upgrade path in the 3000 series. They must have intended to
- since the 3000 has a "video" slot included but never implemented. Flame on -
- I have been able to update my video on my CLONES with a card swap. My

- If the SCSI is not abandoned, why is it not included? Obvious, CBM considers
- IDE the drive of choice. This may be a marketing decision, but it makes no

- nothing else. With SCSI I can connect an unlimited number of peripheral
- devices.
