    	The Mini-Rack-Buy-Back offer is a deal ASDG is offerring
    people who bought a Mini Rack early. The offer is simple, ASDG
    will give credit for a mini rack toward the puchase of a 2000
    and 1 box. Anything that will work in the mini rack will work
    in the 2000 and 1 Zorro I slots.
    
    	The Mini rack-C has 2 Zorro I slots.

    re: .0,.1
    
    given current memory prices...
    
    what is the price of the Mini Rack + 2Meg you are selling?
    
    re: .0
    Sounds like they are trying to determine if there are enough
    A1000 owners left who are still waiting for that 2000 and 1.
    Glad to see that they are offering the mini rack buy back.  Not
    many companies are that nice.
    
    But I wonder why they just didn't do the 2000 and 1 as an expansion 
    box for both the A500 and the A1000.  Seems like that would get a lot
    more orders than an A1000 only version.
    
    There is a lot more (relatively speaking) third party expansion
    for the A1000 than there were way back when ASDG first
    promised to do the 2000 and 1.  And you don't have to wait until
    next March for them.  Also the A2000 has come down
    a bit in price.  (add the selling price of an A1000 + $800 +
    the missing video slot + potential for adding the enhanced
    chip set + 512K memory, compare that to the price of an A2000)
    
    Bear Products sells a $495 board that goes into a pc case.  I believe
    it has 6 amiga slots and 6 ibmpc slots, don't think it has a
    coprocessor slot (source of info was usenet).

1619.3A price...ELWOOD::PETERSTue Aug 23 1988 23:2910
    
    
    	As you noted memory price has greatly increased and I have
    other uses for the 2M of 256K DRAMS. I want to sell the memory
    board with 0K RAM. The board has sockets and can be configured
    as 512K, 1M, or 2M. I'm asking $300 for the rack and memory
    board with 0K. I will listen to other offers or configurations.
