	In re . . . new Amiga rumors . . .

	The rumors I have heard are the following machines are
being prepared for marketing:

	An Amiga with 2 megabytes of CHIP RAM using new versions of
the custom chip.  This same machine will have a 68010 and internal
Zorro slots.  Perhaps there will also be an update of the A1000
with the 2 meg internal and 68010 and no slots, but the only rumor
I heard was the 68010 machine will have slots.  I believe this machine
was to be called the "A2000".

	An Amiga with a 68020 and probably new custom chips capable
of higher resolution RGB color, including support for workstation-like
color screens (with appropriate monitors).  This is the Ranger, also
orginally called the "A3000".

	Also machines called the "A1500" and the "A2500" which I
believe are somehow related to internal Sidecar (IBM compatibility)
and also a version of the internal Sidecar that is AT-COMPATIBLE.
That is, you get an AT, and Amiga with a 68010 (I think), slots,
and at least 2 megabytes of RAM.  I think this is the "A2500".
I'm not sure if these machines will actually get to market, as they
sound rather strange to me.  But if the integration is done as well
as the Sidecar (with RJ's design it should be) then these might well
be hot machines.  But the SIZE of these things has got to be enormous.
Possibly not as enormous as an AT, tho.

	In any case, even if the above rumors are totally off track,
we do know the following features will appear in some future
Amigas, but perhaps in combinations different from the above:

	1) 68010.
	2) 68020 (hopefully at 14 Mhz).
	3) Internal Zorro slots.
	4) Custom chips capable of addressing 2 megabytes and
		also an increase of blitter block from 1K to 4K
		at a time.  Faster as well (14 Mhz versions???)
	5) Higher resolution RGB output, probably including
		current Amiga resolutions as well as newer,
		workstation-like resolutions.  This may well
		come simultaneously with 3).
	6) Internal Sidecar.
	7) Internal AT-Sidecar.

	Now we're talking COMPUTER.
