An interesting thing about the B-128... A large user group formed around
the machine and when Commodore axed it, the user group sued them (and
won!) getting all the schematics, designs & chip masks so they could
continue to maintain their machines. This is what I _heard_ happened, so
you might want to check with Cameron Kaiser(sp?) to find out for sure.
He's be the definitive source on this.
