And of course there's got to be a 32-bit bus, and the 32-bit CPU.

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.
