I've finally gathered enough money together to pick up a long-awaited memory expansion for my Amiga.. I've seen lots of talk here regarding hardware from different vendors, but haven't been able to draw any conclusions .. (Reading AmigaWorld doesn't seem to help, either). Could someone throw together a short comparison of the memory expansions that are available, highlighting such features as: 1) Speed (wait states, etc..) 2) Bus Pass-thru 3) Future Expandability (e.g. comes with 512K, expandable to 2mb, plus other add-ons like battery-backup clocks, etc..) 4) Design of Cabinet (I've seen some LARGE and UGLY Expansion cabinets. Yuk.) 5) Cost 6) Personal difficulties with 1) Apathetic Vendors 2) Setup 3) Reliability 7) The best place to order one (i.e. Amigaworld advertisers, the vendor, local dealer..) The biggies here are: 1, 2, and 3. Thanks in advance! -Jeff +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+ > Jeff Wabik {dicome \ < > University of Minnesota, Duluth -> umnd-cs!jwabik } Moo! < > Duluth, MN 55812 {umn-cs / < +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+

I want to pick up some extra memory for my Amiga 1000. What I would like to do is get something that I can still use when I eventually upgrade to a B2000. I know that StarboardII has this feature if you simply buy an extra little gidget. Is there any other memory expansion that has this capability. I would like to purchase a Comspec board because I know they are good, and they are made in Canada like myself. :-) Does anyone know if the Comspec board has this capability? I know I can just purchase a card cage and buy any B2000 board I like. With this in mind, what is available in the line of card cages? How many slots, how much $$, etc. I only really need two cards (memory and hard drive controller). I know ASDG makes such a beast, and I think C Ltd. does too. Anybody wish to give me a little more info? Thanks in advance. -- % Alan W.
