TO ALL HARDWARE HACKERS!! The latest Jameco flyer (a Belmont, CA based co.) has some new interesting products for the Amiga market. They now carry the complete 68xxx family of processors. Here are the prices : 68010L10 $49.95 68020RC12B $199.95 68881RC12A $199.95 Now as I see it the combo of 68020 + 68881 has come down to $400. The CSA 68020 board with no memory for the 2000 is $1480 which puts the bare 4 layer board + support chips to $1080 (WOW!!!!!!). A 4 layer board should not cost more than $50-$150. Support chips max at $100. These are all single unit prices. For a quantity of 500-1000 these prices will be 30-60% off. So here is the money maker (Perry are you listening???). Bring a 68020 + 68881 board for the 2000 for less than $850 ($450 without the chips) and clean up the market. The prices are there, all we need are the engineering hackers. Any takers?? Regards, Bill. PS. Perry, what do you think?? Can it be done?? How is your 68020 board compares with this? What stage is it on?? Just got this Jameco catalog and I am in a euphoric state!! I want my 2000!!! (waaah! waaah! sniff!)

I am sorry but I have to be silent on this issue. However, I would say that your analysis is correct and on the mark. I might have more to say in the CO this Wednesday. Perry S. Kivolowitz
