Yes.  It allows autoboot in both AmigaOS and UNIX, etc.  It's completely
finalized; there WON'T be an A2620A or anything like that.  Whoever you
talked to last spring at Hannover obviously had nothing what so ever to
do with the A2620 project.

UNIX is in beta test now.  The A2620, and presumably the bundled A2500 US
system, will be available before UNIX is released.  Commercial developers
can sign up for UNIX beta testing.

Us hardware systems engineering types are here too.  We don't yet have an
animal, though some of us used to be C128 Animals.
