Don, The 2620 uses 256K x 4 ZIP chips. From what I understand, one of the reasons for the 2620 being delayed was the DRAM shortage, and the 256K x 4 ZIP's have just recently become available in more than sample quantities. Since CBM buys RAM's in HUGH quantities, they can get production quantities much earlier than the average consumer could get even a few, and at a much better price. If CBM _had_ released the 2620 board without memory, the consumer would still be waiting for the memory chips to put in it. (and wouldn't we hear the complaints from that one!) -Dean
