Keith -
Unfortunately the Amiga 2000 was canned (around the layoffs) for
another project aka Amiga 2500. The basic advantages over the Amiga would
be a all in one design...with expansion internal less glue and support
for IBM compatibility. I can't say much more since she hasn't been announced.
It looks like she'll do rings around the original 2000 design. I hear
talk about something in the first 1/4 of next year...can't be *sure*
about that...
