To all: Has anyone heard about a new lower priced A4000? What are the specs, what will be the price and when will it be available? Will it be 100% toaster compatable. Any information would be great/exit

I believe some of the features will be: – removing the separate CPU-board. Instead a CPU will be on the motherboard just like the A3000. Users would still be able to add a new CPU thru the CPU-slot. – the RAM for CHIP memory will be soldered. I really don't know too much more. Ron. – ap'ing with AP.

I seem to recall that the 040 might still go on a CPU board, but 030 systems will have a surface mount 030. My recollection could be flawed. All the specs should be identical. — Dale L. Larson, Intangible Assets Manufacturing — INTERNET:dale@iam.com
