For once, I agree with Marc. Commodore is pretty slow with new product
development. Many times I get the thought "Commodore is going to get outdone
again...", and just then they release something new. They cut things close
on the evolution scale.
One nice thing, though, are third party companies. For example, the 486DX
bridgecard that was released by Elite!
