A1500
Michel,
We are going to have nothing but confusion about the A1500, I think!! The
kit you mention has been selling for some time under that name. People
already know that by the name A1500. However, at a computer show in London
in late September, Commodore showed a new computer named the A1500.
According to the report sent me by a friend who attended the show, this
computer is built into a 2000 case, and comes with two floppy drives and
has 1M on the motherboard, along with the 1M Agnus chip. He did not tell
me about the slots, but I assume that they are available. He said that it
really looks like a 2000 except for the number on the front. Along with
this introduction, there was an announcement that all machines numbered
2000 and up will be shipped with hard disks in the future; only the A1500
will come without one. He assumed that the 1500 was to be offered to the
dealers as their low-end Amiga, and that the A500 will be put entirely in
the consumer market. Maybe they ought to re-issue the A500 as an
Amiga-compatible??
