We have *never* done a A500 chip upgrade. Usually our upgrade notices come in the form of an annoucement that such and such is available or soon to be. For example the announcement of 2.0 for the A2000. Even if somebody from Commodore sends a tech tip saying how to do a 2.0 upgrade on a 500, we will *not* do it until it is announced as a product by Commodore. It really is not that difficult to figure out what announced products are vs. unaunounced ones. I don't know what to say about machines that were shipped with the 1 meg chip, but you know as well as I that Commodore will honor those machines warranty. I think the dealers are wanting (at least as a dealer we want this) a more distinctive difference between the a500 and the A2000 series, and this certainly is more distinctive. I don't think it is too late. I think that it should be a bit more concise however, we have stewed for several months where we should not have had too. -mark=
