      I know that this has been asked before but I's got ta ask again.

      Will these new chips work on the 1000?  If not why?  Is this a 
      good reason to update to the 2000 if they don't work on the 1000.

      Probably more important, if they don't work on the 1000 will they 
      be supported by software developers who will want to reach the 
      broadest market possible (i.e. if software works with extra 
      fat agnes chip will it work with the current pals.) 

      Thanx in advance for any answers.
