That is not always true.  I have had "bug reports" from 512k owners who use
System 2.0.  (I say "bug reports" bec. System 2.0 lacks List Mgr support)
It appears than they either complain that System 3.2 doesn't work well on
the 512...(though no one mentions exactly why) OR that they own the internal
Hyperdrive 10.  It seems that GCC has orphaned the Hyperdrive 10...leaving it
without System past 2.0 support.
