Don… The 386 is on the dealers product list, but it's not available as a standalone product yet. In fact, the news release of new products doesn't give a price, though the dealers have one. Commodore's story is that they have only a few 386 BB trickling into this country, and they want to use them to "fill the back orders for the 3000/386 configuration". The only problem with that is that if it was announced at the same time, how come there are back orders for the 3000? More likely, it's more important to Commodore to include it with the 3000 and sell an expensive system to a new Amiga owner than to sell it as a stand-alone to existing Amiga owners. Commodore says they don't even have stand-alones for reviewers yet. Marion CROSSINGS Newsletter for the Bridgeboard, etc.
