Michael, 1. Commodore has the educational prices listed in their area here on CIS. GO CBM at any ! prompt and read the announcements. 2. Won't know until they actually start to ship. The official announcement simply says 'shipments are expected to begin in July' 3. No idea since the machines' aren't shipping yet, I *presume* they'll be set up much like the current dealer demo units with v2.0 on disk. No idea if an upgrade to ROM will be a free upgrade or not. 4. You'll need a driver for SCSI devices that don't "look" like a hard disk to the system. 5. The 5.25" drive can be mounted externally…or as an alternate, you could get a 3.5" drive to replace the 5.25" drive. 6. It's my understanding that Commodore ships units in the order of receipt of the order for the unit. Then again…if they've got a large batch ofthem to ship…it may be done by zip codes for all I know. 7. I can't talk about anything that's not announced whether I knew the answer or not. 8. 2 weeks sounds accurate…obviously for the 3000, the wait will be longer since they won't start shipping right away. Don
