Bob,
Before 1.3 was officially released, a few A2000's were shipped with 1.3
ROM's installed. This was due to the fact that CBM had run out of 1.2 ROM's.
Another reason for doing this deliberatly, is to have all (most) new machines
in the warehouses already being shipped with the new part before releasing that
part as an upgrade option.
Where you, and others got your 1Meg Agnus is from CBM Parts, as a repair
item. That is the reason for only 100 pieces being available. It wouldn't make
much sense to ship a machine that you couldn't get repair parts for.
