| Personally, I find it hard to believe too. If I were setting prices,
I'd mark it up higher than the 2620. Hecht, the 68030 cost a few
hundred bucks - right? Of course their price might not include a
coprocessor and memory.

I have not seen a price, but I do know the card has a
coprocessor on it. I would assume the price is with 0 memory
or a small amount of memory.

This is a 68030 accelerator card expandable up to 8 meg (32 bit,
of course) with a SCSI controller on it too? Almost everything
the semi-serious developer needs on ONE CARD? For $1500.00
Okay, what did I get wrong? Where's the catch?

I have just been told that this is a 2620 ROM bug which has been fixed
(as of yesterday) and a method of distribution is being discussed.

It is entirely in the 2620 ROMs; it's not due to the GVP board or firmware.
I'll post more info when it is determined how the fix will be distributed.

The Commodore 68020 card with 4 meg is covered with chips. I wonder
how GVP gets 8 meg on there. Strange memory chips? Strange daughter
boards? Funny cables out the back?
I assume that the quoted price is for a board with zero k. A '020 or
'030 without 32 bit wide RAM is sort of only there.

LSI or SMD maybe?

| The GVP uses a daughter board for the memory.
