   As a seperate, related question, is there any disadvantage to using one
of these "make your 500 into a 2000" boxes?  I'm not talking esoterically
such as 'the box is too big' or 'it has a seperate power supply', but are
there serious concerns such as speed reduction or incompatabilities.

   Specifically, I'd like to a some point get a flicker fixer and some type
of accelerator board.

Hi:

 Angel Asencio here with more questions:

  1) A friend of mine want to expand his Amiga 500, which is the best way to
expand the memory?  By using a expanssion chassis and cards designed for the
A-2000 (like 8-Up) or to use the Amiga 500 designed expansion devices?

  2) What is the difference detween the original 68000 RAM chips and the 68030
RAM chips?  If I have a 68030 board, Is all my 68000 extra memory useless
or the 68030 can use it?  How far can I expand the 68030 board (9 Meg?)

 3) Any information or rumor about the 1.4 welcome.

 4) Any good public domain communication program? I'm having problem to enter
a VM system and a Unix system.

     Please, reply to 802360644%rumac%upr1.upr.cun.edu, I'm not subcribe to the
net yet.
