It will run on both the 2500/030 and 2500/020, you will by able to buy it
for your existing machine.  I think the CBM people on this group may not
know or may not be at liberty to say how much the software alone will cost.
As far as I know the software hasn't even been announced as an add on for
existing Amiga w/ MMU systems, so it is not unreasonable for a CBM employee
not to quote you a price.   It is very possible that a price hasn't even
been set yet!  I don't have a clue what they will charge for the software,
but I do know that the odds are it will be distributed via tape, so you
will need to own/rent/borrow a tape drive in order to purchase the
software.
