	SONY BUYS COMMODORE !!!  AND ITS BETTER THEN EVER NOW!!!!!
		SECERET INSIDE INFO FROM :  AMIGA-DUDE!!


 	Well, more like sony has bought the amiga line.  There will be greater
more  powerful  amigas,  specifically made for video work.  The OS will remain
the  same  with  massive overhal.  Some plans witch are in the work right now.
OS is now called AMIGA-OS or AOS ( 3.1.S ( S for sony??)

 1  Amiga-4500RISC  -  AGA  chipset.   60mips, with a slightly moddified A4000
motherboard,  to  incoperate  up  to  8mb  of chip ram and a VIC chip.  (Video
Compression  Chip)  witch  can compress 4mb of any type of video work to about
1.5mb.   Also  An  SCSI-II  Fast  will  be  added.   Release  date  end of the
summer/fall.  Possibly more Fast ram added as well


 2  AMIGA5000RISC - AAA Chipset 80mip RISC, 10mb chipram.  SCSI-III interface,
and  a  new  type of disk technoligy.  2.87MB (AOS-4) also introduced not much
more info on this.  release Dec or Jan 95..

 The  new  RISC  technoligy  will  also kill all backward compatibility on ECS
chips.   Unless  the software is geard for 68030 or higher, it will not run on
newer  machines.   However,  there is rumor of a 68000.device.  This will be a
software  hack  to emulate the 68000 chip.  There will be in fact an "upgrade"
to previous 4000 owners to the RISC technoligy, but it will lack the VIC chip.
witch  may be added on later on a sperate card.  There is also projects for an
enhanced  CD32  with a faster cpu more memory,bla,bla..  prices will be higher
on the new machines

	Suggested  price  rumored  for the 4500 will be about $2700-$3200 USA.
all  past  warrienties  will  be  honored alsong with a new option, AMIGA-AID.
Witch  for  a  small  fee,  users  can have extended service on thier mahines.
Prices  are  per  piece,  CPU,Monitor  are  sperate  items,  only covers stock
machines, all other items are subject to a small addition charge.

	This  warrenty  does  not include 3rd party hardware such as toasters,
scsi cards,serial cards and so on.
