 In one of Lew Eggbrecht's(VP of Engineering or something like that)
famous C= world of Amiga speeches he also mentioned the possiblity of a
CD32 CPU exapasion with an 030 or 040. I'm not surprised we havent seen
any of these. The sx-1 was popular enough so that a floppy interace
probably will never see the light of day, I'm still waiting for an
accelarator.  While we're on the subject of floppies, has anyone tried
the Dell High Density floppy with the SX-1. Does it wotk?
                                           Thanks,
                                                  mjesus@ix.netcom.com
