Fair bit of stuff still out (I have some strange ones in my own
connection - for eg. a Xetec controller with an extra 2 mb ram & a
weird hard disk connector that plugged into the A1000's expansion
(Zorro) port - same co. used to make Centronics i/faces for VIC's &
64/128's)

THe A2000UX from Commodore was fairly respecatble (though somewhat
undersold), not sure what version of Unix it ran, have to dig up my old
dealer brochures.

But the Miggy had more & in better quality :-) (And they're still being
written for too.....)
