1038.0. "Info magazine #18 news" by BAGELS::BRANNON (Dave Brannon) Tue Jan 05 1988 18:13
    INFO magazine, #18 Jan/Feb 1988 mentions a few interesting things
    in its report on three computer shows:
    
    from the Commodore Show report:
    
    o a company called BareBoards has bare memory boards for the A1000
      (soon for A500 & A200).
      $79.95 for a bare 4 Meg board
      $133 for it with support chips but no RAM
      populated boards available in 512K increments
      $296 for board populated with 2 Meg RAM
    
    o a company called Bill's Boards has an A2000-style expansion board,
      for the A500 with up to 6 Amiga slots, 3 optional bridge slots,
      and up to 6 IBM AT compatible slots for $495.95.  The board is
      designed to fit in a user-supplied baby-AT box & power supply
      (less than $125)
    
    o HyperTek will have a new flicker-free hires monochrome monitor
      for $179.  Hooks to the RGB port and has an RGB pass-thru for
      your color monitor.
    
    from the Comdex report:
    o Progressive Peripherals & Software demoed some nice new Amiga
      products.  The EXP-8000+ gives your A500 up to 8 Megabytes 
      of RAM internally.  It uses a new patented low-power design.
      No price mentioned.

|  |     The Rumors column also mentioned that CBM was close to releasing
    a new DENISE chip that would provide 640 x 400 non-interlaced video
    for all Amiga models.  I wish...
