Ethan, Personally, I think that you are right that Commodore won't be able to produce a 386 BB at a reasonable price. However, they will have to if they want to provide IBM compatibility. IMHO, the way MS is pushing Windows 3.0 combined with the way Intel is discounting the 386sx will pretty much obsolete the 286 in any incarnation. Hardware-wise, the differences between a board that can use a 286 and a board that can use a 386sx are trivial, so CBM should be able to produce a 386sx BB (even with VGA) at a sellable price-point. Of course, increasing the speed of the board to 20 MHz might cause a problem with noise, but it shouldn't be too difficult to fix. A board like this would be far better than any 286.
