#]2000-in-1 in 2001!
6 messages in this thread
Roy, I hope you can understand that sometimes things don't go exactly as one
would like. The 2000-and-1 delivery schedule is one of those things. We've
tried very hard to bring the product out when we thought we were able but alas
things such as moving the entire company 900 miles and a whole bunch of other
things has interfered. None of the reasons for delay have been technical. The
technical aspects of the product are in fact completely in hand. But there's so
much more to bringing a product to market than having the good product.
I must say that CBM constantly extending the 2000 upgrade isn't helping us
either. Daily, our market and product plans change in the face of changes made
by others not under our controll.
Anyway, this my public apology to all those awaiting the 2000-and-1. We will
bring this puppy to market. But it won't be before Christmas, and in view of
our previous erroneous ETA's I am going to stop predicting when it will come
out. When it does it will be completely within the quality and reliability
range ASDG is known for.
Yours,
Perry
Thank you Perry for your reply.
I understand that projected times, are just that, estimation based on
assumptions of the future, and capable of changing. No where is this more
evident than in the computer industry. What concerned me was your absence and
the projected growth of the A2000 market swallowing up the A1000 market up
whole!
With all the talk on CIS (not to mention elsewhere) of upgrade, one of the
MAJOR reasons I am holding out is the 2000-in-1 expansion chassis. I intend to
use this as a hedge with my A1000, while watching what Comodore will be doing
as far as the possible fourth Amiga, the 1-meg fat agnes and the ROM based OS
upgrades, not to mention the inevitable decine decline in price of aging
technology.
If you and ADSG have decided to not give future projections, I hope that you
will continue to be a presence on CIS and once in a while mention that it will
be coming out and hasn't been scrapped (a al phonemate by C-A)!
Thanks again for your reply!

Will there be a 2001-and1 for the A500?
Henry right now we have entertained only the slightest
glimmers of ideas concerning the 2000-and-1 on the 500.
No plans have taken shape yet however this doesn't mean
it is ruled out.
It wouldn't take much! It's not like putting alot of money into R&D for the
device, and there are lots of 500s being sold. e/x
