Those who ^^^^ Howard is almost completely right, except that the developer machine prices are a thousand dollars less then the real ones: The amiga system 1 (Amiga 256K ram card and external drive + all the abover software) was given to "official" developers at $1500, the amiga system 2 (same as amiga system 1 plus the 1070 monitor) was offered to developers at $1900. I agree that the 1070 monitor that I have looks much better than the 1080. Somebody told me that it is actually sold overseas to use with other Commodore products. -- Marco Papa Felsina Software
