I remeber the first time I read a review on the A2000. The author suggested that one may be able to solder in two more edge connectors on the A2000 motherboard to give you 2 more AT slots. He reasoned that since the traces follow through, all one might need to do is add the connectors. So.... Dave Haynie, anyone, can|could|should this be done? I want to use all my Amiga slots, but I need more than one AT card slot. Joel Swan

The reason they're left out is to allow for fat XT cards that extend into the space normally occupied by the AT connector. They tell me this is common practice in the world of Clone machines. I take their word for it.... > Joel Swan -- Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Systems Engineering) "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: hazy BIX: hazy Too much of everything is just enough
