The A5000 is a product put out by some European company, which from what I can
tell is basically an A500 with an 030/881 in it (no flames please if I'm
wrong). It is billed as being faster than an A3000, but this is based only on
the slightly faster clock speed of the 030, and doesn't take into account the
32 bit chip ram, etc.. Of course, it stuffs Commodore up if they ever wanted to
build an A5000 sometime in the future, as 5000 is a nice figure, and 6000 isn't
really :-)
