	Warning: If this is a preproduction (dealer-demo) model it will not
have a release version of 2.0, it will have Beta 5 (probably).  The release
version is signifigantly better than Beta 5, in general.

	The caches are on the CPU (same as the 2500/030).  Use SetCPU, or
the 2.0 command CPU.

>2)  Were can I get the NEW autodocs that should exist for 2.0

	Contact your local developer support manager, or ESCO.

>4)  If I get an old kickdisk (i.e. 1.2) will it work?

	I doubt it, but I don't know.

	Unix has not been released, nor has any date been set.  In any case,
it's highly unlikely to be in ROM (Unix is not small).
