Nice find with the A4000.txt, thank you!

On that site, Amiga History, it didn't take me long to find mistakes - on their A500 page there are a heap of things that are just plain wrong, like for example:

Quote:
In 1987 Commodore released the A500 - a cheaper version of the A1000 - which came in the "distinct" Commodore box. The basic system still used the 68000 processor, 512k ram, and OCS chipset but had got rid of the ZORRO slots in favour of a DMA slot at the side of the machine. The operating system had been upgraded to version 1.3, which included the Amiga Command Line Interface (Shell) allowing the user more functionality.
A500 and A1000 expansion slot is the same, only it's located on the right of the A1000 and on the left on the A500. A500 originally came with Kickstart and Workbench 1.2, and the Shell had existed since before 1.3, but was called the CLI (Located in System drawer), not Shell (it became known as "Shell" in 1.3).
