        I would not worry if I were you. I must say that i don't know
for sure but as I have the A440/1 and I know that it officially takes only
the old FPU card I 've heard somewhere that it will accept a new type of
ARM CPU in a card which will contain FPU and the other chips as well.

        I don't know if that 's true but with an A250 ( that 's what the
A4000 has??) I believe there must be an upgrade in the future even if it
isn't official (ie Acorn).

        Again these opinions are mine.

                Jim.
