It comes with 1 Megabyte of CHIP ram on the motherboard, 512K of Kickstart ROM, a detached keyboard, one built in 3.5" floppy and one built in 3.5" bay which can hold either a hard disk or additional floppy. There is a DMA SCSI interface built onto the motherboard. On the back are connectors for a parallel port, serial port, SCSI disk, RGB video, composite video (color), stereo audio, and the coverplate for the internal Zorro II slot. mouse connectors are on the side and _no_ 86 pin expansion connector. Design is ergonomic with a keyboard "garage" and a tilt/swivel monitor that sits on top. (The monitor is separate but the base is designed to sit squarely on the top of the machine.) The base price of the system unit with one floppy is $995. A complete two floppy system sells for $1495, the hard disk system (w/40 Meg hard disk) sells for $1895. This includes either an RGB "standard" monitor, or a bi-sync greyscale monitor. High resolution color monitors would of course be extra, but not more than another $250. : : Well Commodore, you build one, and I'll buy it, I promise. Hear hear! I'll buy one too. I'd even be willing to pay up to a couple hundred dollars more than the prices Chuck quoted. (Don't know if anyone else would, though :-)) "The 1500, the one true upgrade path" -Buddha
