- The following is a statement from Bill Sydnes, Commodore's VP of engineering,
- regarding the status of the 2.0 operating system:
-
-
- As part of Commodore's ongoing commitment to our customers, I am pleased
- to announce completion of Release 2 of the Amiga Operating System.
-
- Today's Amiga Release 2 is very different from the Release 2 first
- shipped with the Amiga 3000. Many additional man-years of effort have
- been invested to create a polished, stable, compatible, tested
- release that Commodore will build on for the future. Several hundred
- official beta testers provided feedback, resulting in the best tested,
- most trouble-free and reliable operating system for the Amiga ever.
-
- For existing Amiga 3000 owners, Commodore plans to release a five disk
- update set. For A500/A2000 owners, Commodore will make available a Release 2
- Enhancer Kit, with new ROM, diskettes and full documentation. Installation
- will be through an Authorized Commodore Service Center. Release 2 Enhancer
- Kits will be available beginning in October. Pricing will be announced
- shortly.
-
- Following shipment of Release 2 Enhancer Kits, Commodore will gradually
- phase Release 2 into new unit production.
-
- Release 2 is a major step forward in software technology, and is part
- of Commodore's commitment to keeping the Amiga competitive, and looking
- to the future.
