tHANKS OVER HERE IT IS THE 500 THAT IS DOING WELL, WITH THE 3000 AND 2000
FALLING BEHIND. REINHARDT
Reinhardt, in Europe the A500 is certainly a "best-seller", but 2500 and
3000 owners are a large number, probably over 250,000 — 400,000 machines.
Nothing close to the 550,000 A500s that sold last year alone, but still
many. Also, another thing to consider is that a greater percentage of
2500/3000 owners will want/have the money to buy your product. In Europe
many of those A500 owners don't even have 1MB RAM or a second drive, at
least not if the quality of Psygnosis games is to be considered. 8)
Those people can't even afford $150 to get second disk drive or 512K,
let along $400 for IBM compat. They also have little use for IBM compat.
Meanwhile, at a street price of $325 you'd probably, IMHO, sell to over
50% of A3000 and A2500 owners, at least those who don't already have
bridgeboards.

Reinhardt:
I presently own an XT bridgeboard, and if your A2000 product sells for
$400.00US and works with a 2630 card in place, and functions as you say in
your ads (uses Amiga RAM for both IBM main memory & extended RAM), runs as
a process under Amigados (I assume you mean that it multitasks well with
AmigaDOS) then I will buy your board even if I can't find a buyer for my
XTBB!
