Isn't the Spellbound pcb for the CD32?  I have one of these somewhere that I bought from Centsible Software.  It had no rom nor chip ram chips soldered on but otherwise appears to be a complete CD32 motherboard.  Maybe I have one of the 65,000 m/b's from that warehouse?

Not to throw myths out there, but a 1995 edition of AmigaWorld I was just reading says that the A2200 was a 'cut down' A3000 with ide, implying an ECS machine.  However, a Computer Answers vendor advertisement in the same magazine advertised the A2200 as a AGA machine.  Hmmmm????

I still find it hard to believe that C= went belly up right at the US launch of CD32, and within a year of releasing both the A4000 and A1200.  That's three product launches in a period of 18 months, if you don't include the A4000T.  Maybe too little too late since the A3000 debut in 1990.
