Yesterday I received a pamphlet from Hamilton/Avnet, announcing the 68020 Design Kit. The kit includes: 1. 68020, '881 and '851, all 16.67MHz parts; 2. 8 M6268P35 CMOS 4K static ram (35ns) chips; 3. MC145040 and MC145041; 4. manuals, tech. notes, engineering bulletin, reprints etc. Single set price is $329.50. 5-9 sets $309.50/ea, 10+ sets $289.50/ea. This kind of promotion says 32-bit computing is definitely affordable. So Commodore, it's time to make a pure 32-bit Amiga, without any comprimises. Not the plug-in "CPU card", no splitting the bus into Amiga and IBM. And, oh, don't bundle it with a Unix. And Commodore, if you make one, I'll work out a scheme with Chuck to share the thing. But better hurry, else I'll get myself one of those Atari Abaq's. -huver {uunet!kitrain, plus5}!amgraf!huver
