- Although, a new A1200 owner could buy a PCMCIA memory card (16 bit) right now
- off the shelf if he/she wanted some fast Ram. But of course, being 16 bit
- memory means that this Ram wouldn't be all that fast. Oh well, looks like
- we'll have to wait for the new expansion slot peripherals.
-
- One small question, George, in the A500 the expansion module A501 included a
- battery backed up clock. Will the A1200 already have its own clock or will
- this be a feature of an up-and-coming expansion slot peripheral? You know,
- so we can have the correct time stamp on our files :).
