I've never heard of a $500 upgrade to cure 6000 bugs? Maybe he was talking about the EW65 card? That only cured bugs in respect that a new operating system was included on a couple of floppies. But that operating system was available free on the internet or from your dealer all the while anyway, there was no need to buy the card just for that.

As far as I could tell, the 6500 operating system was the same as the last operating system released for the 6000. 65 had no bugs because they had all been identified on the 6 and cured during its lifetime, I guess, and that mostly early on.

I think the 65 was put on the market to provide effective competition for the 9000pro. The whole point of releasing an upgrade card indicated that you did not have to, or were even necessarily expected to change keyboards. Many did out of choice.

Honeymoon or 7000? Now, that's a question I would not let my fiance see...
